Treasonous Bundy-led militia prepare to open kangaroo court

It just boggles my mind.

Sure, go claim territory in malheur. Who else has been there? I have!

Cut power, just power, and let them endure the winters and summers on their new several thousand acre plot. There is a reason large mammals are rare in malheur.

They. Will. Die. Without assistance of the local and federal government. Eastern Oregon isn’t some place you just go fuck around in.

They can receive it, but can they send it?

I think Russians did this to Napoleon. When he was coming, they cleaned Moscow from all the food and retreated, and left copious amounts of alcohol there. The fire that followed was likely caused by the French who got drunk and hungry and ignited the “city of white stone” that was built mostly of wood.

OT, but I think that’s one reason we haven’t been able to get past the Civil War.
Let’s just forgive everyone and let them go back to their farms…no, the leaders should have been tried (and convicted) for treason. Instead, it’s 150 years later and as a country we’re still dealing with a portion of our population taking their pride and identity from a romanticized fable of the Confederate “heroes”. Three of them – Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and the VP Alexander H. Stephens – are actually given the highest reverence by being immortalized in Statuary Hall in the Capitol. This is perverse. They were traitors.

If you fail, you’re a traitor. If you succeed, the anniversary of your victory becomes a bank holiday.

Many rules have an exception.

And also be wary of convenient easy “enemies” being peddled to us as they may be distractions to waste our time and provoke infighting.

(carrying on with the OT thread) I’d be all for properly educating everyone about how the the Lost Cause myth is unmitigated BS with a toxic legacy and making sure that every kid in America recognized that the Civil War was initiated by people whose primary goal was safeguarding their right to own and abusively exploit other human beings for profit. I’d be totally behind removing monuments that pay respect to those who deserve none, esp. in the fricking Capitol where that crap certainly doesn’t belong. Still, there’s a massive number of willfully ignorant people who’d fight it tooth and nail with every ounce of political capital they had out of identity politics.

(even more OT) BTW, you should see the Confederate monument at the Capitol in TX - the first time I saw it I thought it should be dynamited immediately - it’s a deceitful monument to moral failure, and simply stupid - Texas was a minor player in the Civil War, why exaggerate the State’s role in something so heinous? TX could have recognized Sam Houston as a hero for opposing TX joining the Confederates, but instead lionized the horrible people.

I hope they try to eat it.
Or maybe use it to help them get down all those dildos… snacks.

Not really.

This is sub-Bavarian Council Republic grade posturing (admittedly this is an improvement on what most right wing militias in the US have achieved in the past)

His government members were not always well-chosen. For instance, the Foreign Affairs Deputy Dr. Franz Lipp (who had been admitted several times to psychiatric hospitals), declared war on Switzerland over the Swiss refusal to lend 60 locomotives to the Republic. He also claimed to be well acquainted with Pope Benedict XV and he informed Vladimir Lenin via cable that the ousted former Minister-President Hoffmann had fled to Bamberg and taken the key to the ministry toilet with him.

The are plenty of radical movements I am inspired by, and neither of these clowns come close.
