Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

A trans day of vengeance? Just misgender them and they'll collapse in a puddle. That'll stop them from scratching your eyes out.

Re DeSantis, he’s already walked that position back.

Go ahead and destroy the potential careers of those little Stanford fascists; they've earned it. If that doesn't start working the only other solution is obviously violence, and I'm perfectly fine with it.

Chinese nationals coming across the southern border while Mr. Magoo and his admin of misfits play the fiddle. It's gonna take some serious work to "course correct" this country after Biden's reign ends.

I'd be fine with that too but I have zero confidence that the California Bar will do anything to those students. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave them some sort of accolade.

No matter what Stanford might do, it will only ensure them employment under Soros DAs!

"Ron DeSantis Is Right About Ukraine"

The pre-24 February 2022 view of the Russia/Ukraine conflict is no longer fit for purpose.

The Ukrainians are in an existential war now, not just in a regional squabble over the Donbas and Crimea.

The Russians are to blame for that.

If the US had held up their end of the agreement at the reunification of Germany, we would not have this mess. This is a creation of neocon/democrat troublemakers who insisted on making nato an offensive force rather than a defensive force. This is a CIA/State dept war as they greedily attempt to remain the arbiter of everything in the world. Moving up to Russia's borders was a threat and the threat was answered. Ukraine is likely to shrink at best or disappear if cooler heads do not prevail.

But this is the same crap we've been hearing since Day 1. Where are the peace talk proposals? Where are the negotiations? Who is motivating them, if we're so concerned about a country being snuffed out? The only answer the US has had, has been to supply more arms, and more armament systems which drive up the intensity of the conflict. What a surprise! Say - have we got any nukes around?

There is no doubt that Putin is the aggressor and in the wrong, just as Saddam was. Oh wait - are we through lamenting our involvement in Iraq yet?
#4.2 Aggie on 2023-03-23 17:57 (Reply)
Or perhaps abandoning Afghanistan in the middle of the night sent a message about US resolve to China and Russia?
#4.2.1 JJM on 2023-03-23 18:19 (Reply)
We pissed off the Iraqis and now China is moving in to do business and rebuild the country. Neocons/democrats simply can not learn to quit the bully politics of war.

Free the J6 political prisoners. Jail the J6 political prosecutors.

We need a good investigative writer to expose more of what is happening. Right now this is all taking place in secret. We need names and pictures of everyone on the government side, lawyers, judges and staffers. We need to know everything they have said written and done relating to this sad episode. We need to see transcripts of trials and also the interrogations and special deals made by the prosecution. We need to hear the stories of the prisoners, many of who are being tortured by guards and many of the guards are not even U.S. citizens. We need full sunlight. We need every case and every prosecution reviewed by higher courts and either thrown out or retried in a different venue. This is an intentional and dastardly Lenin style purge of kulaks and it is past time for those behind it to be brought to justice.

Most Americans had zero desire to see the Alex Murdaugh trial and testimony and it wasn't pertinent to most American but we saw it anyway. hour after hour of the trial day after day. Let's see all of the video of the J6 persecutions on TV and where there is no video have the transcript read. The Washington DC courts and legal system is so racists and so corrupt that they should be dismantled and all trials held in other jurisdictions. All Americans should get behind ending this communist style kangaroo court Kulak purge before it gets even worse and is a stain on our Republic that can never be cleansed.

OneGuy: Right now this is all taking place in secret.

You do realize that this is all a matter of public record? Here are all the trial documents, including the trial transcripts, for United States v. REFFITT. Reffitt was convicted on charges including transport of a firearm in support of civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding.

Oh good! I was hoping some "informed" person/bot could give me links to courtroom videos and the names of prosecutors and judges in this case. But you left out those links. Why? I want to hear witness testimony and hear the prosecutors questions. I want to know their names so I can Google who they are and what they believe. I want full sunshine. So list all those links if you can.

Where are the investigations/charges for the killing of two women at the protest?

OneGuy: the names of prosecutors and judges in this case.

The judges, prosecutors, and witnesses are all found in the link provided. The trial judge was U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich. The initial criminal complaint was signed by Special Agent Thomas B. Ryan before U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui. And so on. We can lead you to the information, but we can't make you look at it.

While most J6 defendants were released pretrial, Reffitt was held because he threatened witnesses—including his own son. Reffitt was sentenced to 7 1/4 years in prison.
#5.1.3 Zachriel on 2023-03-23 15:17 (Reply)
Very interesting. It seems he didn't even enter the buildings. And his son was a piece of work.

DOJ Warns Court To Expect Hundreds More Indictments Over January 6

QUOTE:
The Department of Justice (DOJ) could indict more than 1,000 additional people on charges related to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

. . . The number of DOJ arrests has since risen to roughly 1,000. The department’s estimate of the remaining cases corresponds roughly with the number of individuals that officials have estimated entered the U.S. Capitol during the riot, somewhere between 2,000 to 2,500 people.

Enjoy. There’s a lot more at the original link, not just for this trial, but others, as well.

Don't be fooled by a coffee that says it's organic. The dirty little secret of the coffee biz is that it's ALL organic. The coffee farmers are so poor they simply can't afford any pesticides.

Freud: It was said of him that where he was right, he was not original, and where he was original, he was not right. He may be "uncancellable" (whatever that is), but he is readily ignorable.
