I will concede that Trump's COVID restrictions were totalitarian, and have said so in this forum on multiple occasions. It is for this reason that I wanted my own Governor DeSantis to win the 2024 primary. DeSantis was the second governor to lift COVID restrictions.

He got the shadow banning on people like me reversed (very recently) by all the search engine companies and other companies that . While I will concede the point on seeing Fort Knox's gold, I won't concede your point regarding the imposition of technototalitarianism. Trump has actually done quite a lot on this point. While the shadow banning reversal is significant, it actually is minor compared to the ESG situation that Biden et al. got the banks to impose. Now that that has been reversed, too, I don't need worry about being debanked like some people I know were (and Eric Trump said very recently happened to the Trump Organization). Point not conceded here.

Here's another good question. Why, as I point out in both Part 1 and Part 2, has Trump done nothing but encourage the imposition of technototalitarianism? Name one thing he's done to try and stop it.

My family in New Smyrna is all gone so I haven't been to Florida in a few years. However, I have a brother who picked up a place outside Titusville so maybe if I find my way back there we can meet for coffee or something if you don't mind.

I like the nice mix of memes, OUC, and am glad you take the time to bring them to the Gulch. I would send you some as in the past, but I'm not getting them from my friends lately (one of my close friends that would send them now and then passed away so that doesn't help).

Same!

Yep

Of course, but this can’t be a conspiracy, this time…

Sorry, just type in Dominion and voting and sale into Google. You'll find that this was widely reported because now you will hear that Republicans are trying to fix the elections.

Did you hear that a Republican bought Dominion's voting systems last week?

Can’t open NY Times without one’s email. Not a chance to those scum. Love how the Freedom press grew from their failures! Epoch, arguably as well.

Yep, and we should solicit and fund PRIVATE programs to help train and make the successful. This coverts automatic demon votes to proper votes, and demonstrates how much more successful a private program can be.

Me too.

Apparently the accused arsonist's parents were (are?) missionaries and felt liberated when burning a Bible. I know that Ayn Rand supported atheism. In no way am I saying that Ayn Rand would have supported arson that happened in Pacific Palisades, CA. I am saying that the current generation lacks respect for life, liberty, and property, and that lack of respect is affecting us all.

Antifa is allegedly anti-fascist and uses force to get compliance with its beliefs. Biden was the most fascistic president in American history. Trump gets accused of fascism and is the victim of fascism (Remember Mar-A-Lago?). I will agree that he is on the edge of what I would consider tolerable in terms of too aggressive in the use of force, However, when you consider just how many people are here illegally, how violent and well-funded Antifa is, and that illegals do affect census counting and, therefore, federal government "spending", he almost has to use the level of force that he is. Using any less would be unjust to producers. Arguably, he is not sending enough illegals out. Most people I hear say that 9 or 10 million illegals came during Biden's era. How many has Trump deported? Just a small fraction of those. I am willing to let the illegals stay ... if they pay their share of America's debt - about $100 K per person.

Gulchers are always welcome to our little paradise.

It is a very small world. Thanks for attending our own little Patrick Henry University, Thoritsu.

That is a good question. Perhaps they were told that the gold was sold, and Trump didn't want to tell that to the world? Perhaps such information became knowledge that only some people had, thus explaining the huge surge in gold prices? Honestly, we don't know.

Me suddenly recalls a little dino being taken to all white high school football games. The audience would always cheer when the band played Dixie and someone on the loud speaker would cry out, "The South shall rise again!"

Well, if it's any consolation, a few Meme Pubs ago, the Jack Asses severed their relationship with the demon-crap party cause they still be the KKK, now, times 1000 !!!

Dino has online been calling Democrats the Jackass Party before I even heard of Ayn Rand.
That changed when my most conservative of 4 all way done grown little brothers Christmas gifted me with the Atlas Shrugged DVDs.
That led to me buying and reading the novel and doing research that stumbled upon the existence of this The Gulch.
Short story already too long, I'll bet there are Dems who feel like jackasses for chicken Schiff letting a bunch of commie yahoos take over what me an old dino clearly
remembers as being the my state Alabama Fifties and early Sixties party of the Ku Klux Klan.

I'm easy! Gimme dino what you can find.

Which did/do you like best, the long monday ITMtyme, the MAGAzean or the Sunday Paper like editions ? . .

Love to pester, but guessed you were more a 40-something. Guess that means we have to meet next time I’m down there.

So many people associate Trump with the Empire, but it is just not so, at least most policies
