So you need an armed liberation from free nations of freedom ? That's the least we can do for our fellow liberators, by all means, but are you sure ?
Isn't there a sufficiently massive crowd ready for a righteous cathartic lynching ?
Some decent sniper vets eager for a last righteous accomplishment or a quick buck perhaps ?
«I am unforgiving of GOP Congressional cowardice. They pledged an oath to support and defend the Constitution. They have historically sent millions into war, the sometimes-tenuous justification being a need to defend our way of life. There is now a coup afoot and it falls to Congress itself to defend us.
Any in Congress sustaining the coup because they fear for their job, their safety or the safety of their family are committing treason.
Protecting and defending the US is not optional, something to do if it's convenient. It is a sworn duty. »

For of course it is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen.

Is the #American #People not #grateful that the #FBI did its best to preserve the #American #Democracy ?
Isn't the #FBI #precisely supposed to do that ?

As we have observed from the #oligopolistic #BigTech in the past two decades, these unbridled #capitalistic endeavors do not lend themselves to #selfregulation for the #publicgood. Likewise, it will be naive to carry-on hoping that #OpenAI and the other #generativeAI players will #selfregulate. That's the #duty of elected #governments and #public #agencies, and the promulgation of effective #AI #regulations is now #longOverdue!

#Trump has frequently voiced his disdain for those who #serve in the #military & for their devotion to #duty, #honor, & #sacrifice. Fmr generals who have worked for Trump say that the sole military virtue he prizes is #obedience. As his presidency drew to a close, & in the years since, he has become more & more interested in the advantages of #dictatorship, & the absolute control over the military that he believes it would deliver. “I need the kind of generals that #Hitler had,” Trump said….

You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of the work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction.

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।

Cui Bono? 
I propose to the whole world this :
The rich citizen will have to pay the taxes of his country without any possible escape.
Or in the other case.
The rich citizen will have to realize social actions to help to maintain the stability of his country.
These are two choices absolutely reasonable and fair.
Balance is respect for all forms of life.
The #Mahabharata is considered one of the major #Sanskrit epics of ancient India, likely composed between the 4th century BCE and 4th century CE.
In contrast, the #Torah is believed to have been compiled between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.

Title 8 and Title 18 already are active US laws that require citizenship for one to be allowed to vote. The Speaker of the House is failing all of us by focusing on problems solved in previous centuries instead of the problems we face today.

Tzahal preferred to use “dumb” bombs to strike the homes of the marked persons. “You don’t want to waste expensive bombs on unimportant people — it’s very expensive for the country and there’s a shortage [of those bombs],” said C., one of the intelligence officers.
If a junior target lived in a building with only a few floors, the army was authorized to kill him and everyone in the building with a dumb bomb.
“We usually carried out the attacks with dumb bombs, and that meant literally destroying the whole house on top of its occupants. But even if an attack is averted, you don’t care — you immediately move on to the next target. Because of the system, the targets never end. You have another 36,000 waiting.”
