[Rootilda]

Don't forget about these weirdos hoarding incandescent light bulbs.

[Maggot]

Wow ..............all I did was walk along the Memorial parade route with the band and pass out water and shake the vets hands and stuff.

[Maggot]

Don't forget about these weirdos hoarding incandescent light bulbs.

Those are sold all the live long day at any dollar store. 100W

[BigMark]

BTW if they call them heavy duty they are still legal. I don't know why anybody would want them though as LED's are SO much better. Used to replace my pillar lights every four months and it has been a year so far (knock on wood) I just bought this one for the garage and holy fuck it's like looking at the sun! It does have an annoying delay...

One of the guys at Coin Collector Nerds where BigMark is from said he bought a pallet of them years ago because they were being banned although he had no where to store them. He was sure there was a huge democrat conspiracy that BY GOD he wouldn't let them get away with.

[BigMark]

Actually several people did that.

[Rootilda]

I only remember Clw talking about it.

[Maggot]

Look yonder.......a light.........high up in the castle .......shining, shining like a sun in the night......

Democratic Primary Debates

The first of 12 scheduled Democratic primary debates will take place this month.  

There will be 20 pre-qualified candidates participating in hopes of making it to the next round and ultimately winning the Democratic Party's nomination to run against Trump for President in 2020.

I think it's gonna be a challenge to organize and pull off, but should be interesting.  Hopefully, the moderators and participants will manage to keep the focus on the issues and prevent it from becoming a shit show.

Madcow is moderating.........   It should be fun!.

[Rootilda]

I like Maddow, not so much Chuck Todd.

[Duchess]

I don't know how he still has a show.

[Carsman]

With "20" Democrats looking to run for POTUS for 2020, hopefully when the pare down occurs, it will get the same ole same ole, stale old well knowns weeded out. Looking forward to the debates.

Eventually choosing a young blood that's left to give Trump a run for his money, and winning giving a brighter outlook for the future of our Country.

[Maggot]

They're Democrats, they will be in the formation of a circular firing squad.

Yeah with Donald in the center!

[Rootilda]

Elizabeth Warren is quickly overtaking worn out and stale Biden. I'd be happy to vote for her.

[Maggot]

it seems the entire group is going with the Socialism scheme

ARTICLE 1. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is a socialist state of workers and peasants.

ARTICLE 2. The Soviets of Working People's Deputies, which grew and attained strength as a result of the overthrow of the landlords and capitalists and the achievement of the dictatorship of the proletariat, constitute the political foundation of the U.S.S.R.

ARTICLE 3. In the U.S.S.R. all power belongs to the working people of town and country as represented by the Soviets of Working People's Deputies.

ARTICLE 4. The socialist system of economy and the socialist ownership of the means and instruments of production, firmly established as a result of the abolition of the capitalist system of economy, the abrogation of private ownership of the means and instruments of production and the abolition of the exploitation of man by man, constitute the economic foundation of the U.S.S.R.

ARTICLE 5. Socialist property in the U.S.S.R. exists either in the form of state property (the possession of the whole people), or in the form of cooperative and collective-farm property (property of a collective farm or property of a cooperative association).

ARTICLE 6. The land, its natural deposits, waters, forests, mills, factories, mines, rail, water and air transport, banks, post, telegraph, and telephones, large state organized agricultural enterprises (state farms, machine and tractor stations and the like) as well as municipal enterprises and the bulk of the dwelling houses in the cities and industrial localities, are state property, that is, belong to the whole people.

ARTICLE 7. Public enterprises in collective farms and cooperative organizations, with their livestock and implements, the products of the collective farms and cooperative organizations, as well as their common buildings, constitute the common, socialist property of the collective farms and cooperative organizations.

In addition to its basic income from the public, collective-farm enterprise, every household in a collective farm has for its personal use a small plot of land attached to the dwelling and, as its personal property, a subsidiary establishment on the plot, a dwelling house, livestock, poultry and minor agricultural implements - in accordance with the the statutes of the agricultural artel.

ARTICLE 8. The land occupied by collective farms is secured to them for their use free of charge and for an unlimited time, that is, in perpetuity.

ARTICLE 9. Alongside the socialist system of economy, which is the predominant form of economy in the U.S.S.R., the law permits the small private economy of individual peasants and handicraftsmen based on their personal labour and precluding the exploitation of the labour of others.

ARTICLE 10. The right of citizens to personal ownership of their incomes from work and of their savings, of their dwelling houses and subsidiary household economy, their household furniture and utensils and articles of personal use and convenience, as well as the right of inheritance of personal property of citizens, is protected by law.

ARTICLE 11. The economic life of the U.S.S.R. is determined and directed by the state national economic plan with the aim of increasing the public wealth, of steadily improving the material conditions of the working people and raising their cultural level, of consolidating the independence of the U.S.S.R. and strengthening its defensive capacity.

ARTICLE 12. In the U.S.S.R. work is a duty and a matter of honour for every able-bodied citizen, in accordance with the principle: "He who does not work, neither shall he eat."

The principle applied in the U.S.S.R. is that of socialism : "From each according to his ability, to each according to his work."

Not even sure what you are talking about. 

On the Left the only game worth playing is Progressivism along with its bells and whistles. (and by that I mean every aspect of Systematically introduced Socialism and its trappings). Government pays for everything. Even if it physically can't. 



So yes, let's make fun and pretend that there is some new young thing on the Left that is going to be anything less than an uber-Progressive darling, ready to divide the community along the competing interest through their identity in the Progressive Stack. 

In addition you will have increase taxes, whilst the government will encroach evermore on your rights and moderate and censor you where possible. Money from the achiever will go more and more to the under-achievers and incentivise them not to achieve. 

The homeless ruin of San Francisco and other Democrat (top to bottom) led city will spread outwards. 

But hey won't it be fantastic that you were so understanding to support these young up and coming socialist Democrats and shit on Trump for laughs. What a brave understanding Republican. Proud of your bravery and decency.
