So how are you guys enjoying not being in Federal prison? (Unlike the Bundys)

I'm in a metaphorical prison of working poverty, self-sabotaging my own laughable aspirations to lower middle class, trapped by my own failures and squandered opportunities.

This is still orders of magnitude better than being in literal prison.

Can Finicum really be called a rancher? That's a job title, and it implies that your money comes from ranching cows of whatever the proper verb for that is. Finicum made his money from caring for foster kids. I just feel that his proper title is Stay-At-Home-Dad and he just happened to have a hobby of raising cattle.

Sort of like a People Rancher. Maybe Slaver if you're not being PC.

As someone who served in the peacetime airforce in a REMF/POG as heck job, my advice to anyone trying to steal themselves some valor is to keep it simple. Instead of saying you were a recon sniper SEAL Green Beret, say you were like a hull technician in the navy (your apartment handy man, but in a boat), or a "corrosion control specialist" (airplane painter)/"loadmaster"(cargo airplane box-putter-onner) in the Air Force.

No one will care enough to question it, and you can scam your veteran discount from Stuckey's or whatever without some guy way too proud of mustering out as a terminal lance with a million motto tatoos waving a camera in your face to shame you on Youtube.

IF YOU DON'T USE THE CAR FOR COMMERCIAL ENDEVORS YOU DON'T NEED LICENCE OR RESTRATION OR INSURANCE. I HAVE A PLATE THAT DUPELICATES THE LOOK OF THE STATE I LIVE IN. IT SAYS"UCC1 308" MY I.D.'S AND ANYTHING I SIGN INCLUDING SS OR ANY GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS OR TICKETS I SIGN WITH "UCC1 308. SURE MAKES IT EASY WHEN YOU GET A TICKET SIGN IT WITH"UCC1308" . WHEN YOU GET THE TICKET SENT DON'T OPEN IT. WRITE ON ENVELOPE AT A DIAGONAL "NO CONTRACT" ON BOTH SIDES OFENVELOPE. ALSO WRITE RETURN TO SENDER. AS LONG AS YOU DON'T PARTICIPATE IN THEIR JURISDICTION THEY CAN'T TOUCH YOU.

One thing I've noticed about a lot of the right wing is that America (the concept) and America (the government and land) are completely different things to them, so the flag represents America (concept) and the military defends America (concept) and is also cool and guns and heroes.

Actually I was discussing this with my brit friend, she didn't get how we could deal with people hating on the president because she thought the president represented national image the same way the queen did, but no we have a weird separation of the two...

Well there's a dignity in royalty. A majesty that precludes the likelihood of assassination. If you were to point a pistol at a king or a queen your hands would shakes as though palsied.

... the sight of royalty would cause you to dismiss all thoughts of bloodshed and you would stand... how shall I put it? In awe. Now, a president... well I mean...

Make no mistake, service wasn't easy for me, even though I didn't see anything remotely resembling combat or deployment. There were precious few places to get good biscotti, and the only Internet available on base at the time was dial-up. The local women were attractive and affectionate, but they did not age well. THEY DID NOT AGE WELL. *haunted thousand yard stare*


I wonder how much military experience these militia types have. Based on what I've read I expect it's probably a bunch of cosplayers "trained" and lead by a handful of guys who mustered out at E-4; and not a one of them claiming a rank below Colonel.

A young Second Lieutenant approaches the crusty old CSM and asked about the origin of the commissioned officer insignias. 

The CSM replied, "It's history and tradition ... First we give you a gold bar representing that you are very valuable and also malleable. The silver bar also represents significant value, but is less malleable. When you make Captain, your value doubles, hence the two silver bars. As a Colonel you soar over military masses, hence the eagle. As a General, you are, obviously, a star. Does that answer your question?" 

"Yes," said the Second Lieutenant, "but what about Majors and Lieutenant Colonels?"

I have a friend who is an arms dealer with the FFL that lets you sell virtually anything. He was looking for a rental place to store some literal artillery and mentioned some pretty strict requirements for building security and access control and stuff. There's definitely an onus on the merchant to do basic due diligence, probably as a hedge against "oops it looks like those ma deuces i was waiting to sell to a collector were 'stolen' and somehow ended up in the hands of my militia buddies."

I'm going to assume these idiots aren't going to jump through the Evil Gubmints hoops to put a proper memorial on public land (or haven't contacted the land owner for his consent if it's private land) and are just engaged in elaborate littering. "They took down our wood cross so we put a steel one there."

Clearly they need to move to one that's either too heavy to move or one that's a radiological hazard to anyone handling it to take it down. Depleted Uranium memorial for the tarp man is the next escalation.
