The more things change...

For the past year or so there has been a sense of foreboding because of the events surrounding 4/19, 4/20 that something big may happen. Hopefully it will be quiet but throw in the Waco siege as well....

While we're not laser focused on the events 250 years ago in Massachusetts, those of us in the "Tidewater area of the Old Dominion" have our own events. This weekend marks the anniversary of the Gunpowder Incident, where the Royal Governor stole the gunpowder from the Armory and stashed it on ships just offshore (in the James River). Basically having the same effect as the events up north. It's been interesting watching the actors/recreators talk about the events. The crowds at CW have been impressive as well The more things change...

I prefer to go with Sparky's 40 day assessment. But for now things look promising

I’m surprised they haven’t defunded Amtrak yet.

Just reflect that just over 6 months ago the voters chose Barrabas

One of my main arguments to Trumpers. Cheer the guys who received pardons for committing crimes against the government (breaking and entering, assault) and went thru the judicial process, yet a guy who was accused but never charged or had a trial is guilty because he's from a different country. They're all hypocrites and liars.

Typical Trump troll thinking

The linked site from Archie is the DHS, the same folks who did the deportation and staffed by Trump appointees, at least at the top levels. It’s a government propaganda release

While I don't disagree about MTG. I was a bit more concerned about Trumpublican Storm Troopers tasering anyone who dares to object at Town Hall "meetings" These are the same folks applauding convicted felons from 1/6 getting off scott free (and celebrated) while applauding deportments without even a mock trial.

The history of the present President of the United States is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. The grievances include the following: He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences Sound familiar?

I doesn't sound like this gentleman is a hardened gang member, just another guy who was trying to do it the right way but got caught up in the Gestapo type roundup by the Trump Regime.
