james scott Have you ever traveled across the big pond to Europe and Germany? I'm assuming not, because Germany is a very strong country with a thriving economy, free education and healthcare. Their people are healthier, their streets are cleaner, and their society is more respectful and civil.
But, the USA has it's overly inflated ego and paranoid-crazed vigilantes running around with assault weapons. Don't we already have the largest military in the world to defend our nation from being invaded? Why don't the gun heads join the official US military, if that's what they are into?
No, these misguided people are preparing for when the SHTF, which will be on January 20th, when Trump refuses to admit losing the election and executes his coup d'etat, with the help of Barr's private militia of storm troopers. Then, these good ole boys are going to have to decide whether they are defending their nation from Trump's mob or supporting a lawless dictator. True patriots or traitors?

@eduardopolack3247 The USA didn't even exist in 1776!!! Therefore, there was no Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, nor Border Patrol... not even a Space Force. I think that we have our national defense systems well covered. So, why does the USA still need a bunch of small, unorganized, independent, local, self-appointed, self-righteous militias running around with assault rifles?

@conservative_Redskin Of course, you vote is your decision, but PLEASE, I beg of you, for the sake of our nation, do some research on Trump's background. Search for 'Trump' on Wikipedia. It is a non partisan information site, about any subject orword you like. You will find his biography, along with Fred Trump, his father.
You will see that the entire Trump family is rotten to the core. Trump is a con man, who freely lies about anything and everything, just to avoid being pinned down.
Your nation is in serious jeopardy of being overthrown by Trump's mafioso mob. They ave already taken control of the Senate and heads of most Federal departments, including Barr's DoJ.
America is a nation of laws and Congressional checks and oversight. We don't need a dictator.

@Sunshine-dr3to Good exists because evil exists, but both are in the minds of men. Within nature, there is no good nor evil, even though there is the ecological balance between predator and prey. Neither are good nor evil, because they depend upon each other for survival.
One only becomes a victim or victor by joining the battle. Animals only kill, either defense or for food.
Very few people die while standing on their feet and I don't foresee anyone enslaving me. So, given the choice I'll probably lie down in my bed to die, like billions of folks who have died before me.
Why don't you simply chill out, stop worrying about BS that will never happen, and pull yourself together.
Still waters run deep and calm. Trump has everyone up in a frenzy, just to overthrow our government. He is the greatest threat to our democratic republic. He is my nemesis, not my fellow Americans, regardless of political affiliation.
We have a 2 party system to provide voters with a choice. The choice on November 3rd will be between our democratic republic and Trump's mafioso mob.
Chew on that for a while. Because it will come down to traitor vs patriot, yin vs yang.

Andrew Young Then, your definitions of 'left' and 'right' are very different to mine. Dictators are authoritarian fascists, by definition. Left and right are opposing political parties, the yin and yang balance of our political system, not the system, itself.
If you can't see what Trump is up to, then it is you who has your cranium so far up Trump's posterior that you are deaf, dumb, and blind.
Trump uses mafioso extortion to bully his opponents, "I want you to do me a favor." (President Velinski's perfect phone call), punishing our allies by pulling funding from UN, NATO, WHO, et al. His legal henchman, Bill Barr passes out 'get out of jail' cards like candy to Trump's 'family'.
Taxes are strong armed robbery? Paying taxes to fund our government's vast services is a patriotic duty of every citizen who benefits from national security, public education, healthcare, infrastructure, social security, EPA regulations, and maintaining a lawful society.
I had absolutely nothing to do with slavery, the KKK, nor racism of any kind. It is a disgraceful scar upon my own race. My mother raised me to respect everyone. My lifetime has taught me to respect all life, especially wildlife (above humanity, the scourge of the earth).
Political parties sway with the polls, as times and situations constantly change. Citizens United has opened the Pandora's box of political corruption, the greatest assault upon our democratic republic. Now, politicians pander to superPACs and corporate lobbyists, instead of serving the needs of individuals.
Mankind has evolved to the top of the food chain, because of its ability to adapt and overcome those challenges.
But, personal greed and the love of money has distracted mankind from being stewards of the land to become destroyers of the earth. We MUST change our ways and start using our technical knowledge for ecological restoration and preservation of natural resources and wildlife habitat. IOW, humans need to start wiping their own asses.
But, we are currently faced with defending our nation from tyranny at the ballot box. Trump has already destroyed the Republican party. Another 4 years will destroy our nation.
Just look at last nights debacle of a debate. Trump simply couldn't be controlled nor was he willing to follow the rules. That's Trump in a nutshell, an impetuous spoiled 3 year old, who defies every rule. This behavior is far below the office of the POTUS.
But, Trump's corrupt activities are under investigation and new revelations rear their ugly heads nearly everyday. Trump's own base is dying from attending his irresponsible rallies. Truly patriotic Republicans, like the Lincoln Project and retired generals, are abandoning Trump's sinking ship, just to save our nation.
You should do the same.

Andrew Young There's no such thing as 'over the top righteousness'; only right, wrong, or mistaken. But, there is self-righteousness, which is a misguided belief in imposing divine judgement upon others. My judgement is based upon common sense and decency, not second guessing the will of Santa Claus.
Please stop throwing around terminology that you clearly don't understand. It's not Antqueefah, it's Antifa as in anti-fa(scist). IOW, you just falsely accused them of being the same as 'fascist'.
You actually believe that BLM has no right to protest centuries of racial discrimination?
Obviously you have no problems with white supremacists, private unregulated militias, anarchists, Boogaloo Boys, Proud Boys, nor hundreds of other good ole boy terrorists, who are fueling the fires of hatred to literally overthrow our government.
You offer no solutions, no compromise, no reason; only small-minded tribalistic racism to fuel the fires of hatred. You are part of the problem that is burning our nation to the ground, just as guilty as BLM or anyone else.
Let me guess, you would send in the troops to restore law and order, just like an authoritarian dictator. You would incarcerate the direct descendants of the very same slaves, who enriched the lives of white supremacists and wealthy landlords. America is only great because of their blood, sweat, and tears. So, your solution is to increase the weight of your jackboot on their necks?
You don't care about political corruption, as long as you can profit from it. Trumptards make me want to puke.

@chadbasedwick8517 Yes, everyone needs to scrutinize our press, but at some point you have to start believing your own 'lying' eyes. Trump invented the term 'fake news', in order to discredit our independent press, who are the public's eyes and ears on the government as provided by the 1st amendment. Sure, ratings and sponsorship plays a role, but there's PBS, BBC, and nonpartisan news outlets. They can't all be wrong, while Trump's lies are accepted, solely on faith. The medical professionals and WHO are in agreement about the severity of COVID19.
But, let's not allow ourselves to be distracted by click-bait sensationalism, while Trump is attempting a coup against our nation. He has assigned cabinet positions to his mafioso family and henchmen, taken control of Congressional Republicans and most Federal Departments, including Barr's DoJ, who have created a multi-agency private militia. They will defend Trump from being physically removed from the WH on January 20th. Trump's gangsta, Post Master DeJoy, has already been caught trying to cripple the Post Office sorting machines to delay mail in ballots from being delivered in time to be counted. McConnell is cramming a right wing SC Judge through the Senate, to ensure that any SCOTUS decision falls in Trump's favor. Russians bot farms are interfering in our election again. There is no limit to the degree of corruption and cheating going on to enable Trump to become our 1st dictator.
FLUSH THE TURD ON NOVEMBER 3RD!! Your nation is depending upon it!

@saltrock9642 Thanks, but no thanks. The taxpayers pay for the professionally trained Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Border Patrol to protect our asses. So, please stand down, stop beating your chest, rattling your saber, and waving that F'ing gun around, before you hurt someone including yourself.
Our armed forces are funded by Congressional appropriations, based upon the will of the common people. Their Commander in Chief is the civilian elected POTUS, who should be responsible enough to apply military force judiciously.
You have no authority to use lethal force against anyone. So, stand down and STFU.

@conservative_Redskin Pelosi, Schiff, and Schummer have done their best to hold Trump in check and uphold our Constitution. They are the truly brave patriots, working to represent the needs of common citizens, instead of Wall Street. Trump is Putin's puppet; significant scandals and international corruption is being revealed by witnesses, family, and whistle blowers everyday. 1000 people are needlessly dying everyday, many are Trump rally attendees. But, Trump doesn't care because he makes them sign medical waivers not to sue him if they our family get infected and/or die.
He has already betrayed his country with delays, gaslighting, and lies about not wearing masks, taking hydroxychlorophyl, and having a safe vaccine by October. It's all BS!

Fresh Start Okay, I just fact checked the data; "a crowdsourced database that includes deaths by vehicle, tasering or beating in addition to shootings, estimates 25 police killings of unarmed Black men in 2019."
So, my previous statement was incorrect, because of a video I had recently viewed. But, so was your number.
I apologize for my previous comment and will check out Michelle, just for good measure, okay?
FYI: The Hermit has no kids, family, nor friends.
Goodbye.

Doug Carter I'm a pragmatic American atheist, who believes in our Constitutional laws, the 3 legged balance of Federal power with Congressional checks and balances, the sciences of evolution, climate change, conserving the environment, sustainable energy, free education, free healthcare, equal rights, clean air, pure water, nonGMO food, and economic assistance to put less fortunate people back on their feet. I believe in active foreign diplomacy, without using military force to impose our failed political system upon others. The UN, NATO, and multinational alliances make our nation stronger and more influential throughout the world.
Political parties sway with the polls, while divisive labels come and go. Both parties are difficult to even recognize, anymore. So, if you MUST stick The Hermit into some ideological pigeon hole with a label, shoot your best shot. But, I am associated with no one and don't run with any pack.
Sounds like you have a great kid. He is your own genetic future; therefore, your physical reincarnation and afterlife. Yet, his future challenges are beyond your imagination. You are only the bow that sends him on his way. Your sights must be clean, with a true aim a steady hand. But, only your son can soar along the arrow's path. Cherish your children, because your own life will soon crumble into ashes and dust.
Stay safe, my friend.

"We have a recruiting page; personally, I'd like to wipe my ass with it." IOW, "I'm in charge here and I'll decide who joins our militia, based upon MY criteria." Sounds just like a dictator, doesn't he? Now, multiply his little militia by several hundred and you end up with lethal chaos.
"He was put into office, because God wanted him there. God has a plan for this nation and he put Trump in there because he's a businessman. He knows how to run a business, so he should know how to run a country." NOT! A businessman thrives upon selfish greed; a POTUS selflessly serves the needs of the nation. The self-proclaimed Chaplin sounds like a religious fanatic, who presumes to know the will of her imaginary invisible spirit, yet her philosophy only reflects her own ignorance. The most dangerous people in the world kill in the name of their god. Secondly, there is no one less godlike than Trump. He cheats, lies, steals, commits adultery, covets his neighbor's ass, and kills innocent people, just to feed his own selfish ego. FFS! With regards to paying taxes, Jesus even said, "Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's."

@meghanschuler4739 That must be it! I'm so weak minded that the media just leads me around by the nose. Yeah, The Hermit lives inside a big blue silo, where I only hear "people who literally have a vendetta against anyone from the right".
I can't stand listening to that hyper-divisive right wing rhetoric and condescending tone, especially when it is coming from naive Trumptards, who can't even recognize a thief although his hand is already in your pocket.
I don't need your lecture about what Republicans and conservative mean. I watch this political BS everyday and Trump is destroying our nation, is a puppet of Putin's and is trying his damnest to rig the election, just like 2016. Trump always cheats; that's the only way he can win. Trump is so obsessed with winning.
His Post Master gangsta was caught crippling the postal system, just to delay mail in ballots. His own people obviously planted the 'discarded' ballots for Trump that he rants about. Trump has already primed the pump by predicting that the election will be rigged (because he is the rigger), so that he won't be forced to admit being defeated. On January 20th, Trump will refuse to leave the WH. 4 retired Generals have written a letter to General Mattis, warning him of this very same concern.
No patriot can support Trump, because Trump is a traitor to our DEMOCRATIC republic. FYI, the USA is not just a democracy OR republic; it is BOTH.

@trombone113 "the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War, formed by Captain Samuel Nicholas by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on 10 November 1775, to raise two battalions of Marines."
"At the end of the American Revolution, both the Continental Navy and Continental Marines were disbanded in April 1783. The institution itself would not be resurrected until 11 July 1798. At that time, in preparation for the Quasi-War with France, Congress created the United States Marine Corps. Marines had been enlisted by the War Department as early as August 1797 for service in the new-build frigates authorized by the Congressional "Act to provide a Naval Armament" of 18 March 1794."
IOW, the Continental Marines, of which you reference were not a part of the yet to be formed USA government and had nothing to do with the 2nd amendment, because the US Constitution wasn't written until 1776. The US Congress formed the official US Marine Corps in 1798. So what?
As I stated, in 1776 when our Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in 1789, our newly formed nation was without a formal military, so the 2nd Amendment was provided to allow individuals to protect themselves.
"The Second Amendment (1791) protects the right of individuals to keep and bear arms. Although the Supreme Court has ruled that this right applies to individuals, not merely to collective militias, it has also held that the government may regulate or place some limits on the manufacture, ownership and sale of firearms or other weapons. Requested by several states during the Constitutional ratification debates, the amendment reflected the lingering resentment over the widespread efforts of the British to confiscate the colonists' firearms at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. Patrick Henry had rhetorically asked, shall we be stronger, "when we are totally disarmed, and when a British Guard shall be stationed in every house?"
What gives you the impression that I have any communistic ideas? I'm happy to debate issues, but I'm tired of listening to right wing extremist rhetoric and childish name calling.
Frankly, I could care less about guns nor the issue of 2nd amendment rights. I don't own one, don't want one, and don't hang around people who carry them. Therefore, it is literally no big deal.
My primary issue is defending our nation against Trump's mob. No, I'm not wearing a foil hat, I've been watching and have become very aware of Trump's agenda, which would destroy our nation.
Left vs right, conservative vs liberal, etc, etc are all petty differences, of which are only the status quo of politics. More than anything, I'd like those days to continue (but more productively, of course)
So, lets drop all of the divisiveness and discuss why you still support Trump, in spite of >200,000 COVID deaths, his constant lies, being an international embarrassment, and the NY mafioso godfather.

@trombone113 First of all, thank you for your service to our nation. For that reason I would like to respectfully reply to your comments.
Military service says a lot about a man, like having adjusted to a regimented lifestyle of discipline and training to become an efficient killing machine. These things are literally drilled into you minds, until it becomes your identity because you have committed your life towards self defense and offence. It's almost like you guys are popped out of a single mold. Right?
But, you know nothing about The Hermit, do you? That's why you've only thrown a bunch of right wing bullshit in my direction to see what sticks. Well, it's not just an alias. I AM a 68 year old retired hermit, with no family nor friends, unless you count as one in passing. I'm affiliated with no political party, nor social group. In fact, we have mutually excluded each other. IMO, mankind became misguided when money was invented for middlemen to nibble away at the 'pie'. "Suffer not those who would sell the fruits of your labors for only words." Then, the industrial revolution kicked into high gear, along with environmental destruction and raping the earth for profit, regardless of the long term consequences. The mindlessness of mankind is literally causing the end of most life on earth.
We have exploited the earth, animals, and each other for hundreds of years. Now, we need to use our ingenuity and technology to reverse the damage we have caused.
This is not a political issue, it's a matter of being responsible for the continuance of future generations. IOW, we need to go back to the future. So, you tell me, Trombone, am I a progressive techie, supporting someone else's 'Green New Deal"; or am I a conservative, concerned with conserving nature, wildlife, clean water and air? For that matter, why don't conservatives support conserving natural resources, instead of fighting for oil and coal fossil fuels?

@trombone113 "their country as they know it." As in, "their neck of the woods"? Within the US constitution, you can't redefine the USA as 'my back yard' and claim that it is a constitutional right. As you say, we have Federal and State funded military units, providing national security.
"preventing a tyrannical government from taking those God given freedoms laid out in the Bill of Rights away from the people." There you go, making things up again. There are no 'God given freedoms' for a start... not in our constitution, nor in reality. So, let's not argue over fairy tales and myths. As I previously commented, the purpose of the 2nd Amendment was to not allow a foreign government to confiscate firearms, as the British had attempted. So, yes it literally provides the right to own and bear arms.
BTW, just for the record, no Democrat has ever tried to take away guns nor an individual's 2nd amendment rights, however there have been attempts to limit the size of clips and bump stocks. IMO, guns aren't the root of mental impairment, but they are just as lethal in the hands of a torqued out tweaker.
The problem is brainwashing kids with shoot'em up video games, idolizing Hollywood 'action heros', and drug gang violence. (generally speaking)
But, I digress.

Juliane Luhs Grew up in the mid west, lived in S. California 7 year, England 10 years, toured Europe 3 times, returned to AZ, worked @ a Jr College 18 years, & retired. Now, I travel the world on the Internet and have a very active social life debating Trumptards on YT every day. Don't need to physically travel, because no matter where I go, I'm already there.
Now, why is that any of your business and is there some stupid point that you're trying to make?
