It’s Been A While…
…but how are we feeling? Everyone who can get out and early vote yet? Hopefully either in person or returned directly to a drop box?
Thoughts on what happens between November 3rd and January 3rd?

Concealed Carry Gear
Anyone here care to share how they carry in their cars? I’m normally a right ight kidney but when I’m driving it feels like it’d be a pain to access. I’ve seen mounts for in cars (basically on the shifting console, so next to driver or passenger knee) but don’t really want to drill into my car. Hoping someone can provide other ideas.
Been A While…
…since I’ve shared anything, but I think it’s clear that things are only getting worse. Make sure you’re ready in the event that you need to be - I have a feeling that at least the THREAT of those of not who don’t support the regime being able to fight back might give them pause; let’s hope that’s all it takes.
See Deleted Post
Is there any way for users to see their own content that got deleted by a mod? I had one deleted, but have no clue what it was so no sure what I did wrong - all they did was cite a rule number with no explanation. I get taking it down for everyone else if it was a violation, but it’d be a lot easier to not do it again if at least I could see it.
How Trump just upped the stakes of a government shutdown
“But according to NBC News, ‘the Trump administration indicated it’s prepared to go beyond the traditional furloughing of some government employees during shutdowns and fire federal employees.’”
Who’s to say the asshole won’t do it anyways if Dems cut a deal? MAKE REPUBLICANS OWN IT!

Anyone else thinking this can only be a bad thing? Maybe a loyalty test to try and purge any of the leadership deemed “disloyal”? We can only hope our top brass remember Oath to defend the CONSTITUTION against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC. Stay vigilant!

Trump on militarized cities: ‘A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we’d like a dictator’
If this isn’t a call to arms I don’t know what will be.

U.S. troops on U.S. soil policing U.S. citizens.
Still not far enough across a line for most I’d wager. Maybe when it happens in New York? Or Baltimore? Nah, we’ll just keep taking it. Fascism is here to stay. But please, continue to tell me how I’m “blowing it out of proportion” or “need to wait for the next election”.

Crossposted from https://slrpnk.net/post/25696399
Compare with the original, from a few weeks back
Half of section 8, governing Congressional power over the military is removed.
Section 9 had, among other things:
- Habeas Corpus the right to get a court hearing instead of arbitrary imprisonment
- a ban on foreign emoluments for the US officials (eg: payments from foreign governments)
Section 10 reserved foreign policy for the federal government instead of the states.
