    Sedition is in no way "petty". This seditious attack cost human lives. I don't know how you feel about it, nor do I care, but human life has meaning to me.

    Also, the law says that sedition is illegal. So, there's that, too.

    And like that, you've made your way to the ignore list. For future reference, calling people mass shooters(I actually hate firearms, just as a side tidbit) isn't how you make many friends.

    It absolutely was sedition. Literally the textbook definition of sedition, to be crystal clear.

    You are truly welcome to your own opinion.

    You are not welcome to your own imagined facts. The real world does not work that way.

    Which is of course pure malarkey, for you see, the word "impeachment" quite literally means "indictment".

    So, there's that.

    Seditous Conspiracy against the USA is exactly what the USA charged the Rosenbergs with in the 1950s. The Rosenbergs engaged in espionage for the UdSSR and gave some of our nuclear secrets to the Russkis. It was interpreted before the military tribunal as an attempt to overthrow the US Government by opening it up to a sudden nuclear attack from Russia.

    Charges of Sedition are very serious charges. Also, the 14th amendment did not appear out of thin air, there was reason for adding the 14th to our revered Constitution.

    How do you think today's government would deal with the Rosenbergs?

    No parody, we're a plutocratic state. I find it funny that liberals themselves apparently either can't see it(or acknowledge it) while at the same time complaining about the wealth concentration at the top.

    "There's no way that US citizens would ever be upset with their system of government, or how it's run or the people who run it. They're supposed to be lock in step forever!"

    That's precisely why we have the decline we'd had.

    Oh, I'm not necessarily arguing about the plutocratic part.

    But you being the Emperor?!?!?!? Hmmmmmmm

    I'd like to think everyone has at least once aimed for the top or hoped to aim for the top. And I think that democracies naturally de-evolve into plutocracies by nature.(I also hold that Plato was quite correct in his assessment that not everybody can vote, and not everyone can be at the head of State.) Trump, to many Americans is one such example.

    I could go into a litany of positives for the Empire, but the biggest one is indeed the end of the political struggle. What has this struggle gotten us? Really? Martin Van Buren once theorized that by the existence of the opposing party, both views could be articulated and that would be a better form of government. He was sorely and historically mistaken.

    All tossing the baton around has done is kept us from taking a path forward that we can concur to. It's hard to even say we have a national politic body. It's disintegrating right before our eyes, and while Trump might have contributed to it, the plutocracy is the greatest benefactor and the cause of this disintegration.

    And as I said to a certain somebody: I don't even care if I'm not the lynchpin of that future Empire and the centralized leadership that thereby makes the political sports contest pointless. As long as it prospers, I would serve the country and its leadership with respect.

    LOL. Yeah. I'm not nearly as sensitive as I sometimes come off as, I just think that it takes it to a new level when one gets called a serial killer out of the blue. I honestly don't mind(and in fact expect) most to oppose the idea of the Empire. That might very well be why it'll be grounded, but I also haven't quite dropped it completely as, you never know.

    But the most important thing to note(not that it needs noting) is that I'm a law abiding citizen of this country and always have been and always will be.

    I don't know where it came from either, but *shrug*. You can't please everyone and you can't go through life wanting to, life experiences taught me that full well.

    You have to ask the question, were the people better off when they overthrew their king? I don't think so!

    The purpose of a ruler is to maintain authority so there wouldn't be anarchy. Kings were anointed by the Church, and that gave them a divine right to rule as well, this is why regicide is considered a major sin in Christianity. It should be, because killing of an 'anointed' ruler creates chaos. In Russia it led to years of wars, famines and the deaths of 40 million.

    It took 20 years for Russia to reach the same economic level as before. The pathetic thing is that the Tsar had the plans ready to hand all his holdings to the peasants when the war broke out, and that gave the criminal Bolsheviks the time they needed to take control.

    I think someone who is raised and trained to serve his people and has nothing to gain, is a lot better than a self serving individual who acquired power through personal ambition. That doesn't mean of course that an heir to the throne would be the most competent, no matter how noble they are. - and that's the problem.

    When our Constitution was formed, it was formed with the belief that those who rule should have nobility of character and not of birth. Well as you can see we have neither. Little did our truly 'noble' Founding Fathers know how our country would become.



    GREETINGS!
    [​IMG]
    At least I had nothing to gain,
    not money or elusive fame,
    can those in charge now say the same?


    My problem was I feared my head
    that I might lose it and be dead
    and gave away my rights instead.


    And this is why you foolish folk
    are looked upon now as a joke
    controlled by every criminal bloke
    who can buy the media

    Nor are you. Trump didn't commit sedition under anybody's definition except for yours.

    The Rosenbergs were charged with treason, something Hillary Clinton should have been charged with when she sent classified information to a computer that was being accessed by foreign nationals. Also the Trotsky ideologues in Washington as well as George Soros are being treasonous by forwarding a globalist one world government to the destruction of our own sovereignty.

    In case you don't know, Trump thinks we won the election over Biden. Trump was the the winner in his mind and to Him it was real. That probably proves that Trump is crazy and should be put away in a loony bin. The New Your business associates and many others want no more to do with him and the Florida neighbors in Palm Beach don't want him either. It's such a pity. When the Right wingers invaded the Capitol Building, They were going to hank Mike Pence and Pence was as loyal as could be for Trump. Trump wanted to Hang Pence and other that Trump wanted to get rid of. We all know that Biden won and those that are down to earth know it to. We are saved because the majority of the voters voted for Biden and We wanted Trump out. Trump will be impeached and whether they convict him or not remains another matter. One thing is for sure: God is with us.

    Trump hating is all they know. They'll keep it up for the full time Harris and Biden are in office. They'll go after Trump's family too. So sad that Larry King won't be around to enjoy this.

    I heard a news report where McConnell said that he will never speak to Trump again.

    Some people translate things in odd ways.i

    If I said my favorite meal is a prime rib dinner, some people would translate to mean I said that I don’t like chicken.
