  • Stephen Miller Orders Cops to ‘Surrender’ to Feds in MAGA Fever Dream

  • The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms. It was ratified on December 15, 1791

    Insurrection Act of 1807

    Just 16 years from "we must be allowed arms to protect from tyrannical government" to "if the people take up arms against tyrannical government we can massacre them".

    Really makes you wonder why the NRA and the millions of gun nuts haven't campaigned to overturn that act. It's almost as if they've never had any intention of using their arms to protect against tyranny...

  • Flying a flag isn't patriotism though, it's virtue signalling. Virtue signalling on the behalf of racist agitators.

    Also, the vast majority of these flags are made from polyester or nylon, neither of which are good for the environment so why should they be tolerated to be littered everywhere? We wouldn't tolerate bin bags being littered everywhere, but because they're colourful bin bags it's fine?

  • Holyrood doesn't get additional money though. That's my point. Barnett is a scam. Even the BBC's ex Economics Editor, Stephanie Flanders, concluded that Scotland breaks even. That's somebody who is staunchly against independence and had a high level position in an organisation which was proven to have had an anti-independence bias.

    If that's her analysis, with all of her biases, what do you think the reality is? What do you think the situation is now, now that we're 12 years on from then, with advancements in renewables and Scotland's geography being incredibly good for wind, tidal, and hydro power? With water becoming a scarcer and scarcer resource, and Loch Ness alone holding more water than England and Wales' rivers and lakes combined?

    The line has been drawn for as long as anybody who is alive has known. Scotland, England, and Wales have had well defined borders for quite some time. If the north of England wishes to join a Scottish independence movement then fair enough, but they've made no real manoeuvres for such a move.

    What if Aberdeen declares independence? What if East Kilbride declares independence? You're getting into silly reductionism now. Holyrood has always argued it's a matter of self determination and has no military means with which to force any regions, so what do you think would happen? Do you think John Swinney will ride into Fraserburgh on a tank while Russell Findlay fires artillery at him? Or do you think a proportionally representative parliament would hash something out? Holyrood, being proportional, doesn't have the issue of a tyranny of the majority.

  • Trump’s bizarre letter to Norway’s prime minister in full

    Jump

  • The letter in full reads:

    “Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

    “Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.

    “I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.

    Thank you!President DJT”

    I know he's a buffoon, and yet I'm still amazed that this is the President of the United States of America. This is the writing style of an 8 year old!

  • "Flood the zone" is a political strategy in which a political figure aims to gain media attention, disorient opponents and distract the public from undesirable reports by rapidly forwarding large volumes of newsworthy information to the media.[1][2][3][4] The strategy has been attributed to U.S. president Donald Trump's former chief political strategist Steve Bannon.[4][5][6]

  • benefit from Barnett consequentials

    And you said you're from Aberdeen?...

    Jesus Christ. When was the last time you saw the gold paved streets of the silver city? It's really benefited immensely from 50 years of oil wealth! It's just swimming in money. Union Street definitely isn't in disrepair and filled with bookies and the like... It has so much money it's decided to open 5 more libraries just for a laugh, none have shut down, honest.

    If you think Barnett is a net benefit to Scotland then I've got a bridge to sell you, that only exemplifies the propaganda you've been exposed to. This isn't an emotive issue, it's an issue of self determination. About getting a chance at real democracy, not FPTP, winner takes all, tyranny of the majority. You said it yourself that Westminster is fucked.

    If this movement were emotive why would it be supported by everyone from anarchists, communists, socialists, and social democrats? Populism hasn't been the tactic of engaging the population, as would be expected from an emotive issue. Rational reasoning has, which is why it's garnered support from a broad spectrum of centrists to leftists.

    Maybe think on where you get your information about independence, what biases you're exposed to, what opinions you're hearing from colleagues and friends who have no stake or say in the matter but will provide an opinion anyway. Ignore the fucking BBC on this matter, they are not impartial.

    Return to my previous comment and click the link at the bottom. Read. And get your head out your arse for dismissing an entire political movement which has had widespread support since 2007 (breaking a proportionally representative system's expectation of no majorities) as just an emotive issue.

  • "Literally lynched"

    lynched verb Simple past tense and past participle of lynch.

    lynch/lĭnch/

    transitive verbTo punish (a person) without legal process or authority, especially by hanging, for a perceived offense or as an act of bigotry.To inflict punishment upon, especially death, without the forms of law, as when a mob captures and hangs a suspected person. See lynch law.verbTo execute (somebody) without a proper legal trial or procedure, especially by hanging.

    Sure... If you absolutely stretch the word to its barest of meanings, he received punishment without law. But he wasn't lynched by any sane person's understanding of the word. What an attention seeking little cry baby.

  • Utter shite. It's on a basis of self determination, not us vs them. There is zero anti-English sentiment behind it, despite what the Tories attempt to portray. Anti-Westminster? Absolutely. Anti-Tory? A fairly large amount, yes. But if you can't be anti-political opponent, then what the fuck can you be against?

    There is no ethnic element to it. It's not Scotland for Scots, like other nationalist movements. Except on the basis of anyone who lives here and pays taxes can regard themself as a Scot. Whether they are white, black, brown, gay, straight, cis, trans, disabled, religious, atheist, none of that comes into consideration. It is not a classical right wing, ethnic, nationalist movement. It is a movement for self determination and proportional representation under a broadly left to centre left banner.

    There is no harkening back to William Wallace or Robert the Bruce, or any other mythology. There is no preconceived notions that we all lived happily in harmony in the past until the Evil English™ invaded. Clan warfare is clearly understood. Rivalries between families and various landed elites is well understood. The Highland Clearances are clearly understood to have been a mixture of Scottish and English landed gentry causing atrocities for profit.

    The fact you call it Scots Independence and hark to your Isles ancestors makes me question whether you even live here and understand this movement. I would be more inclined to guess you're an American cosplaying because your great grandad once had a fart on The Royal Mile.

  • A great read, thank you.

    This exemplifies why it's so important to learn how to grow your own food. If you're serious about "prepping" don't hoard tins of beans, learn how to grow beans.

    Make your soil fertile now, learn the skills now, because it can take 3 years for a piece of land to become fertile enough to provide good harvests. It takes time to learn what you're doing. It takes time to get equipment, seeds, compost.

    A network of small vegetable gardens can go a long way in helping reduce starvation.

    Is it a silver bullet that guarantees survival? Of course not. Your crops can fail, your garden sabotaged, damaged, or robbed. But does it increase your, and your community's chances? Absolutely!

    Start small, have fun, learn, and grow!

  • Some of these flag shaggers did the same up here in Scotland but with the St Andrews flag. Unfortunately for them, that flag is associated with the independence movement, not racism, so they haven't managed to portray the message they're after.

    Most councils responded with "we're not going to explicitly go out to take them down but they'll be removed during routine maintenance". So now, instead of a racist dog whistle we have free independence decorations!

    Useful idiots.

    Also, these dumb fucks wouldn't know patriotism if it shat in their mouth. Patriotism is helping your neighbour, your community, your country. Improving living conditions in this country, making life worth living here. Not being angry at foreigners and putting up a piece of cloth. If they genuinely cared they'd read a fucking book and learn how to make this country better, but they just want to be angry and validated for it. Pricks.

  • I'm afraid the diagnosis isn't good. You may wish to take seat.

    Now before I begin, I want to reassure you that despite this being really serious, it's not incurable.

    Unfortunately, you've got a clear case of Microsoft Windows. Many people do manage to live long and fulfilling lives with Microsoft Windows however the good news is there is a cure available, if you wish to undergo treatment.

    If you want more information on the available treatments then there's a pamphlet available here.

    Unfortunately apart from being a cheeky lil shit I have no other information to help you, sorry. Good luck and may this comment give your post a lil bump up the feed!
