Another great one Peter and Reid.

This conversation was necessary to pull people (who will listen) back from their ideological cliffs.

He made amazing point during the whole conversation - too many to comment on.

I appreciate you bringing these common sense thinkers, to our attention and giving them a stage to explain parts of the world we are living in.

Peter - I did not see a post here related to this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7nRZqBOCyA ) featuring you and others. You are SOOOOOOO dead on with what you said. I hope Trumps team is taking this serious. There are many things that Trump needs to tackle right away but he'd be foolish to not do something about these people. I don't mean the talking heads and influencers but the every day regular people who's minds have been broken by the indoctrination process they received in government schools with upgrades in the universities. They left school programmed to be activists/warrior for collectivist governance (i.e. Marxism, Socialism, Communism) who are wiling to get violent for the cause. Once out they then were constantly fed lies and propaganda by the media. These people are a bomb waiting to go off and we can't simply ignore them and hope nothing will happen.

Two have already tried to assassinate the president and of the 2 the one that's still alive was acting like as if he was doing nothing wrong and that killing Trump was a just cause. Granted most aren't crazy enough to do that but I will not be surprised at all if these people do something like a church shooting or a bomb attack. They have rights so we can't just toss them into Jail but Trump's team needs to get on the Secret Service about getting its shift together and tracking down and investigating all threats even if the person is trying to say it's a joke.

I'm happy as can be that Trump won and with a mandate but the scary dark days are still ahead if no one does anything about the crazies.

"..where people talk all day and nothing gets done"

That comes very VERY close to describing the US National Government but it;s missing 1 key part.

"..where people talk all day and nothing useful for the people gets done"

Peter - I'd like to make a request. Would you change your subsatck color theme so the text is in black and teh background is white? Maybe it's just me but I find the white text on black background bothersome. I don't know how else to explain it.

1) Thank you for taking time to respond. I don't know how you even have time to read thru the replies you get but based on feedback you Cleary do .

2) I could be wrong but I think you8r team may have misunderstood what I was asking. Their are user preferences we can change but what I ma referring to is not that. If I look at Robert Malones substack his background is white. If I then switch to yours its black with white text so if this was something on the user settings I would expect the same look regardless of the subsatck site. It's not a big deal and certainly not any reason to stop subscribing by any means.

Thanks

Seems "like" they delivered! 👍👌😉🙂 Most appreciated.

Though on a related point -- is Trump LIKE moustache man? -- "like" is NOT the same as "identically equal". There's an overlap in the relevant categories -- some "significant" properties in common. Like Venn diagrams.

"... tracking down and investigating all threats even if the person is trying to say it's a joke."

Not so fast, Never! Threats against anyone, including against government officials and other government employees, are merely verbal utterances. As such, they have no power at all to physically harm anyone or to physically compel people to act on them. To fine, arrest, imprison, or execute people merely for their utterances is censorship, a feature of a dictatorship, as is conscription (the draft), both of which have have no legitimate place at all in a free and civilized society. To allow censorship of certain utterances creates a dangerous precedent and its slippery slope down to the censorship of ALL speech. The proper responses to threats and all other kinds of controversial or hateful speech are not physical blows, arrests, or executions, but vigilance and more speech!
