Treasonous Bundy-led militia prepare to open kangaroo court

Are you suggesting that some other sort of Jesus is even theoretically possible? That seems a bold theory.

I said that they can, not that they do.

As in a “strawman argument”? I wasn’t presenting any sort of argument.

But you still haven’t said who they are…

I did not say that they are! FFS. I was replying to somebody else who was speculating about what liberals and conservatives might be thinking about this. They didn’t list who those people are either.

Ahhh, if only they’d managed to leave the alcohol and all the prunes (or less so, canned prunes/plums) so that Bony’s army had had overly exhilarated bowels in addition to their livers and stomachs. That might have worked…

Perhaps you meant USPS instead?

Clearly the hungry should be eating carp. I realize it’s pretty hard to fish with a rifle, or a pistol, but they could at least check the lake bottoms. It’s cold and those fish are probably slow-moving and easy to catch.

Given their core cause is resentment of respect for nature and resentment of treating natural resources responsibly, I’d assume they’d go dynamite fishing.

Ye gods that’s probably a fair (and painful) assumption.

Maybe this guy?

As far as such a thing in the US, in the current day, it’s somewhat laughable on its face.

I know, right? I thought they might model more self-reliance after getting a public spotlight … maybe even a reality feed on a homebrew, cell-netted LAMP box: How to catch carp: diy fish lanterns made with stuff we found in this biologist’s office that we pushed her out of because we’re entitled like that.

So far it’s mainly just please send us store-bought mayonaise and, oh, not that kind of mayonaise.

What about Bernie Sanders posing with a gun?

Wait, all I can find is him talking ABOUT guns.

Hmm, where ARE these “militant leftists”??

Required to act as the logistics and supply chain of an occupying force on American soil?

Perhaps the Federal government hasn’t noticed they’ve lost control of (a teeny tiny bit of) Oregon.

And that is one of the many reasons why you have failed to convince anyone.

There are some small fringe groups like Earth First and their kin that could be fairly labeled militant-leftists, and there are the handful of anarchist/Trotskyist kids who show up at WTO protests decked out in their black bloc outfits to break windows and things. But papabawa4u’s approach of deliberately leaving things in the absolute abstract makes it impossible to know what they mean, and makes all conversation on the topic frustrating since the approach ensures you can’t actually know what they’re talking about. I initially thought they were maybe talking about Maoists in India and Nepal.

Yeah. I long ago stopped seriously hoping that it would provide any concrete examples of pretty much anything it has to say.

in the late 80s that was arguably fair.

Then came Judi Bari.

Now it is FAR from a fair thing to say

Fish are generally more vibrant in cold water, not less. It’s because cold water carries more oxygen.
