    Do democrats and liberals have any conscience or integrity or decency? Are they so twisted because of TDS that they just don't care?

    No, they don't. 
    Yes, they are.

    Anything goes.

    OK, I hope I don't start a civil war here, but I just have to know, what is TDS?  I can think of some possibilities, "Total Dumbasss Syndrome", "Toxic Death Syndrome", wait, that's already been used for tampons, "Tampon delivery system", "Twisted Democracy System" ? 

    I give up. 

    What is it?

    TDS = Trump Derangement Syndrome. 

    It began on election night, when the Left's worst nightmare was about to come true. Some fainted, some vomited, many threatened to leave the country (pretty sure none did).

    College snowflakes melted. At Cornell, students held a "cry-in" to mourn the results, with staff handing out tissues and hot chocolate to ease the pain of Trump's victory. At the University of Kansas, snowflakes were offered therapy dogs. A dorm at the University of Pennsylvania set up a "breathing space" the night after the election where coloring books, snacks and puppies were available for students who needed to "decompress in a low-key and low-stress environment." At Vanderbilt, traumatized snowflakes were encouraged by "grown-ups" to "take advantage of the outstanding mental health support the university offers." At Yale, and many other schools where TDS was running rampant, tests were canceled because students were in "shock."

    Some says it's a recognized mental disorder. Others say it's not actually in the official book of disorders. To the lay person, it sure looks mass hysteria.

    The irony is that TDS sufferers accuse the man of exactly the sort of tyranny which they so shrilly advocate.

    The person who employs the term TDS is, I believe, simply trying to tell you there is no Trumpocalypse. Yes, he is a jackass. Most everyone who scrambles up the dungheap to set himself in that chair is a jackass. I think it's one of the essential conditions that sets the aspirant's legs a-scrambling. 

    You cannot have good government. That's not one of the options. A cursory glance at history should convince you that any form of government is always corrupt, always at root an oligarchy, always repressive. What else can you expect from a monster which claims a monopoly of violence and feeds itself by theft? 

    You can only have less government... then it grows.

    Thank you.  I never would have guessed it. 

    Did all those colleges really do those things?  WTF has happened to the "American Fighting Spirit"?  Perhaps we should change the words of the National Anthem to "...Land of the offended, and the home of the Weenie"?

    Your point regarding the irony really strikes home with me.  I hear this all the time, about Trump et al's oppression, some of which I agree with, so these folks think I agree with all the nonsense they're saying.  Right after espousing the evils of Trumps oppression they'll begin advocating ideas that are equally oppressive, or worse!

    My wife used to say; "This is why we die.  You live long enough to understand how crazy the world is, then God relieves your pain by taking you up."  She may have been right.

    Beto O'Rourke: "Hell Yes, We Are Going To Take Your AR-15"

    Yep, he said it.
    So how are they going to implement it?
    How are they going take the weapons from the american people?
    Mandatory buy back? Cause that works so well.
    Yes, we are forcing you to sell us your gun that costs $1200 for $200.

    What then? Force?
    Gonna send the troops house to house to confiscate the weapons?
    When that happens, kiss the good ol' USA goodbye, cause it will be the beginning of the american revolution all over again. 

    What will be next? Any rifle? Any handgun?
    All that will be left will be black powder. 
    Bows next? Total weapon ban?

    Get caught with a knife and go to jail?

    I know it sounds silly, but this guy wants to run for president and you can see his agenda.

    Its more of a bait and switch.  These nobodies without a chance in hell of getting elected spout off crazy confiscation stuff and then someone with a better chance will come in and say they only want universal background checks and red flag laws.  Both of which are horrible but are more palatable to the uninformed voter.

    The media keeps saying buy back. Robert Frances actually said TAKE.
    Buy back? How do you buy back something you never owned?

    On Tuesday, Union Theological Seminary hosted a chapel service in which self-identified Christians confessed their climate sins to plants. No, this is not satire from The Babylon Bee — this really happened, and the seminary is defending it without shame.

    "In worship, our community confessed the harm we've done to plants, speaking directly in repentance. This is a beautiful ritual," the seminary announced on Twitter. "We are in the throes of a climate emergency, a crisis created by humanity's arrogance, our disregard for Creation. Far too often, we see the natural world only as resources to be extracted for our use, not divinely created in their own right—worthy of honor, thanks and care."

    Last week, a Native American botanist argued that the genetic modification of crops is a form of rape. Perhaps the next step in the #MeToo movement involves returning to the low crop yields before the Green Revolution, which saved billions of lives by making food more available through genetic modification

    I can not tell which one has the biggest mental deficiency, Biden or Sanders. One sounds lucid and the other does not. Neither one makes any sense. Both are out of their depth, and are talking out of the rear ends. Happily it does reflect on the dem party as a whole.
    I would have mentioned AOC but "she" isn't running for the power of the WH and is in a whole other world.

    Copied from facebook. It gave me a chuckle but I didn't verify it for accuracy.

    A history lesson for people who think that history doesn't matter:

    What's the big deal about railroad tracks?
     
    The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.

    Why was that gauge used?
    Well, because that's the way they built them in England, and English engineers designed the first US railroads.

    Why did the English build them like that?
    Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the wagon tramways, and that's the gauge they used.

    So, why did 'they' use that gauge then?
    Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that same wheel spacing.

    Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?
    Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break more often on some of the old, long distance roads in England . You see, that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.

    So who built those old rutted roads?
    Imperial  Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since.

    And what about the ruts in the roads?
    Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match or run the risk of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial  Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the  United States  standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever.

    So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with this?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' ****.)
     

    Now, the twist to the story:

    When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in  Utah . The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site.  The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds. 

    So, a major Space Shuttle design feature, of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system, was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass. And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important? Ancient horse's **** control almost everything and....

    CURRENT Horses **** are controlling everything else.
