Politics

If you're going to the "Fighting the Oligarchy" rally or whatever they're calling it, remember to wear a mask.

Positively, wear a mask, and....pay no attention to those pallets of bricks left by Soros on the rally site.
 
this has zero to do with blanket pardons and everything to do with the use of the auto-pen.. which MANY constitutional scholars on both the left and the right have stated is NOT constitutional.. therefore would not be allowed on a pardon

the auto pen serves a purpose... it can legally be used (and is binding) on a lot of things.. politicians can use it to sign awards, appointments to the service academies, etc.. and it can be used when you need a signature on a hundred copies of a single document, etc..etc..

but scholars will tell you it cannot be used to create law (cant use it on a bill, a veto, etc), and it cannot be used on a pardon..

Im not a constitutional scholar (not even an attorney) so I don't pretend to understand the differences other than what I have read requires the signer (Biden in this case) to be physically present when the pen is used and witness it signing the document that he has read/reviewed and approved.. if he is not, then its invalid..

This was first brought into question when Obama autopenned something at 2AM and did not witness the auto pen signing the document that he claimed he reviewed and approved..

So.. Presidents since Obama (Trump and Biden) would know this is not something they can or should do..

Biden apparently didn't care, or didn't know any better (loose mind/memory), or was taken advantage of...

If doesn't matter which of those three answers are true.. if any of them are, then this will lead to law suits that will ultimately go to the USSC.. and we know exactly where the USSC will land on this issue since a) its a conservative court and b) its already been talked about for more than a decade..
Bush DOJ opinioned in 2005 that it was legal and binding.
 
Ok sir you have fully convinced me with your documentation that those 215 were a leach field - Point taken.

Now what about the others?

And as I’ve said in other posts I’ve had natives in Canada tell me all sorts of false narratives when I asked how traditional it was to chase seals with outboards and 12ga buckshot.

However only time will tell with the others, and with 15years of excavation experience, I can tell you there is only one way to make certain where an unmarked grave yard is.

My real disdain is my neighbors to the north bringing up American Indians treatment whenever American immigration or “Assimilation” as if the British & French both didn’t do the same or worse and the abuse at those Canadian schools was documented up until they were shut down in the 90’s.

“Are the stories I’ve heard about the Native school abuse true?”

I made the mistake of asking a native fishing guide that once while alone with him in a boat, being an honest an openly proud native man of few words I was expecting the short joking answers he normally gave….. I wasn’t ready for the graphic history of abuse that he suffered both from male and female staff alike for years on end; that was 2016 and he was in his late 40’s. He said that the scary part was that many of those people were still certified.

So yeah I do take offense to former British Colonies painting the USA as the land of Genocide; much of the conflict in the USA post civil war came about because of tribes who’s raiding culture conflicted with settlements and the government retaliated with the army, except in Texas where the Texas Rangers were formed for lack of a standing army.

Truth is, most of the American Indians died from disease and likewise new sexual diseases appeared with returning explorers.

As for war, the conflicts of the raiding tribes can best be summed up as Stone Age meets steel; which wasn’t a bad thing for tribes that didn’t base their existence on raiding other tribes and torturing captives to death for public entertainment.

Some did quite well, like the Choctaw that joined Andrew Jackson in fighting the British and their Scottish highlanders in the battle New Orleans.

Yet Historians paint Jackson as a cold blooded Indian killer…. No Jackson had enough of the raiding and war parties and he would not have been successful in his campaigns against Native American raiding tribes if he hadn’t had Native Americans of peaceful tribes fighting and scouting.

And if you look around the USA you usually see the more peaceful and businesslike and trade friendly before European arrival the tribe was the better they are doing now.

The Choctaw of Oklahoma fought the Comanche for centuries Which came in handy…. But they were also wealthy from farming as they had considerable African slave holdings as they would buy slaves but not take them; likewise Choctaw women could own slaves and free them then marry them.

The only conflict the Osage had was when cattlemen would take cattle across their land on drives and not pay the toll; for those that paid the toll their stray cattle would be collected after leaving and depending on prior arrangement would be taken as trade for future tolls or sold to the next cattle drive with a reciprocal agreement.

And today because they kept their land holdings and mineral rights their one of the wealthiest tribes on the continent.

So again spare me the USA Indian saga cries from former British colonies whenever someone brings up immigration and or assimilation in the USA because the biggest complaints I hear from the average Canadian is about how Sikhs are buying up all the businesses and the Chinese are dumping money into houses so the market is completely unaffordable.

Only they use different language than Sikh & Chinese to describe who they are talking about….

The others? Well we'll have to see but I've grown a healthy bit of skepticism for these things. A lack of action says a lot. I have no doubt bad things happened and kids even died but I don't care for just arbitrarily making killers out of everyone.

That is incorrect.

They opined that it is legal and binding in matters unrelated to legislation and formal presidential duties.

It’s fine for situations where mass signatures are required or for pre-fab documents such as academy appointment, letters to constituents, etc..

Nope, here it is below. It is applicable to everything as long as he directs someone to do it.

 
Agreed, for people 40 and younger in the USA children are seen as a status symbol.

The only people I know actively trying to have children are those who were born into financial advantage or those who simply give no thought to how they will provide for the future of their children.
well, my daughter and son in law have 6 kids. their friends have between 2 and 5 kids. apparently, i run in different circles. no status symbols at my kids house, just great, energetic, fun kiddos!
 
Good grief, I get on the tractor for a few hours and when I come back the politics thread has devolved into an e-dating thread??? Seriously??? You guys are scaring me!!!
The bandwidth here stretch from international crisis, war, politics etc to international advertized $5 cuntpics on dating sites:ROFLMAO: .

The American president is not only deterring trading partners, allies and neighbors. Even tourists are now frightened. Travel to the USA goes back from everywhere. Airlines are sounding the alarm, stocks are collapsing.

No wonder, because who wants to spend their holiday in the USA under these circumstances? The far better alternative is Canada with its incredible nature and lovely people.

Americans are not homogenic. People in Queens, NY think and see differently of what folks in Hoot owl creek ,TX do. They may eat at McD all the time but thats about it. From here there is a world apart. Europeans who haven`t been to the US may not get this until they experience it for the first time. Likewise americans who haven`t been to europe may not know there is a world apart between people in southern Italy and Island. For them its all the same. Thats how people are. Very difficult to change.
It would be fairly safe to go to the midwest of the US. Things are a bit different there than big east/westcoast cities.

That‘s correct of course, I have been to the US a couple of times, have relatives there. I was only quoting the news.
 

That’s either an old advertisement (Biden period) or a made up advertisement.

Current egg prices by state:


Still too high.. but demonstratively lower than even just two months ago…

Fuel is down about thirty cents per gallon in most states as well now..

I’ll read that when I have a few more minutes.. if it says he can sign legislation without being physically present then it it in direct opposition of what several co stationed scholars (left and right) declared when Obama did it.

The argument under Obama wasn’t that the pen was the problem. It was physical presence. He couldn’t approve a signature on a document that he didn’t witness being signed because of the risk of the document being signed not being the exact document he reviewed and approved.
