    I’m quite sure that’s what chairman Mao would said.

    Maybe covid + drugs is messing with his brain also. 1am?

    So we need further proof that Republican voters are actively promoting autocracy? When even one of the more “reasonable” Republicans is promoting peace and prosperity through strongman autocracy because Democracy cannot be trusted... that tells you all you need to know.

    I'm watching Scott Walker and he keeps on bringing up how he wants to wear a Packers' mask to public appearances and how well the Packers are doing. I wonder if he knows that Aaron Rodgers isn't supporting Trump.

    The question I have for Mike Lee is, can you have liberty without democracy?

    err hello? Anyone home?

    A US Senator is openly promoting facism on social media and it just flies by like normal?

    He should be deleted from the party and relived from his position.

    This is crazy.

    So sick of these morons that I spent 30 minutes this morning looking into SECESSION. lol

    They way things are structured, it just can't be done, unfortunately. The Blue States of America doesn't sound bad at all. We would get rid of all of these parasitic dependant states like Alabama.

    For you solely that might be the case if you're the one running things.
    Just to add that wouldn't actually be liberty. For a single individual to do with as they choose with no concern or at the expense of others isn't liberty but tyranny.

    If "liberty" is having the ability to act in regard to your own wishes within a framework that still respects the wishes of others democracy would be necessary as having a say in the rules about how you and others can act.

    Absolutely agree.

    But Mike Lee (like Mao) is perfectly fine with their version of liberty on everyone else. That's a hallmark of non-democracy.

    Simply put, we have a Constitution that outline the process and the laws of our republic / democracy. Mike Lee basically said hell to that. That laws and process isn't important. He thinks that values can be obtained outside of our established democracy process and laws (demoracy in general) - which I must then assume it's his version of values / liberty.

    So, the discount cards that Trump talked about a while back was basically thought up about an hour before Trump announced it...and only by his staff. After announcing, health agencies have been trying to scramble to make it happen. Here's the result:
