It was easy to slam a bunch of non-entities(read citizens of no account) into jail for a couple years. Putting the politically connected behind bars is not so easy. ever wonder how George Soros has been walking around free using our money to feed the blob for all these years?

Oh, I don't wonder about Soros, we live in a lawless country. The laws are there, we just don't enforce them. Politically connected not so easy? Really? It's not that complicated. Charge them, arrest them, prosecute them, execute them (penalty for treason). We do none of the above - so being a believer in personal responsibility - whatever happens is on us. Simple as that.
I agree and disagree. Many have written and opined about what has become a two-tiered justice system. Yes, some of this is on us, but what are we doing about it?
IтАЩm waiting so IтАЩm not the only one shooting in the proper direction. I too am waiting for that. Otherwise tptb charge you with a crime, and you donтАЩt even make your point. 100 of us? They get that message. 1000 of us, we make a point, ten thousand of us, we take over. ItтАЩs gonna take a spark. We are patient, we are strong. We will wait. The time will come.

when there are 100 million laws and everything can be twisted into a prosecutable offence, selective prosecution allows for the use the law against your enemies and protection for your friends.
Warren - a maxim: What we allow becomes acceptable.
Applies to everything. If a man spits in church and no one ever does anything - not says something, does something - everyone will be spitting in church. Silence and inaction confer acceptance, and/or acceptable behavior.
Spitting on the street or the floor of a saloon is a funny thing. Down in Texas, it was polite to spit your side chaw right on the sidewalk or the barroom floor, and not that long ago. When I was in high school, we used to sneak into the race track and spit our Mail Pouch right on the floor of the betting hall. So did all the cowboys and degenerate gamblers in attendance. I blame it on feminism. I never saw a woman at the race track, except in the stands or luxury boxes, until the last 20 years or so. Of course, no Muslim should ever spit anywhere. They shouldn't be there in the first place.
Brother (Sister?) - You've got their number! That's exactly how they roll, for those that haven't figured out their MO.
To Wit: Normalize the term "hate speech", whatever that means (which they decide), then criminalize "hate speech", then charge you with a crime.
I wrote an Op-Ed piece on this in our local paper about 15 years ago - on this exact same thing - not hard to see it coming. Hate speech? Never heard of it. Now you can go to jail over it. Europe is much worse.
Perfect example: I have gay neighbors with adopted children. Their sexual preference is none of my business, nor do I care.
When I tell my children that's not a "normal" nuclear family, not a normal household, I'm accused of hate speech and can be charged.
So, I instill my personal values in my children, and I'm the criminal.
Ultimately, and as I said to Jarek some time ago, everyone is their own little tribe/species/breed. IOW, we all have the capacity, given enough time and geographical isolation, to become an entirely new/different species.
Obviously, everyone's different with different values. Why bother changing what we can't?
Sure we have our similarities and that's who we generally hang with, 'birds of a feather flock together' and all that.
The State cannot work if it blankets a kind of cookie cutter over everyone, even as a DEI cookie-cutter. It's still a cookie-cut.
It can work as a kind of natural, seagrassroots (grassroots) coral-reef diversity, but then that's not a State anymore. It's more a bunch of animals more or less acting on their own accord. You can join a school of fish like you if you wanted to, but there's no higher-echelon fish forcing you to and collecting taxes and cordoning off where you can swim and with what visa/passport, etc..

I am now looking at wood-clamps. I like the old-fashioned wooden double-screw ones, as well as the pipe-clamps. So just the in-betweens I guess. That would be more or less F-clamps, parallel clamps and rod-clamps, yes? Got any ideas?
They say you can never have enough clamps, but then there are those who suggest, with the good qualification, that you can never have enough *good* clamps.
I guess it depends on what we want to do. Furniture? Timberframe houses? Boats?
Hey Zazzy, on clamps, wooden double screw clamps are handy, pipe clamps too. You are correct in saying the best clamps are those most suitable for the type work you're doing. Even inexpensive plastic squeeze clamps that work by tension.
In a perfect world, glueing & clamping, or joining by pegs or dowels is my personal preference - no nails. This relates to furniture.
On timberframe, you can use a long loop of rope and twist and twist and twist with a piece of 2x4 lumber, to draw the pieces together to join them. One person can do it. It's simple engineering, but you have to be creative. You have plenty of both - problem-solving intellect and creativity. Make it fun.
Thanks for the tips/tricks. I like the rope twist-- 'heritage no-nonsense'.
Speaking of which, in my research, WRT timbeframe, I was reminded that the posts' peg-holes are deliberately drilled a little bit further in from the tenons' to draw them further in as the pegs are hammered in.
My general aesthetic, or whatever you call that, also includes trying to avoid nails where at all possible, even glue.
Anyway, while it's still a bit bewildering, I'm slowly wrapping my head around it. I might be about to buy a Japanese saw tomorrow if I can get out of bed early enough... Oh wait, it's today already. Never mind.
Incidentally, if you ever wanted to post pics of your work or tools or whatever comes to mind, feel free to let me know.
See my comment above to Ron. Indict him, his son, what ever.. Drag their commie asses before the courts. If we lose, we lose, but there will be tons of serious shit exposed. IтАЩm only PRAYING that Trump and DOJ are тАШon the caseтАЩ..

Yep. It's been done before. And yet, here we sit watching these same assholes call the shots.

No, time does not and will not тАЬcomeтАЭ. God favors the bold and courageous. Trump must make the call. We must rise when he does
IтАЩm here
Talking. I rest my case. Time for a nap.

ZZZzzzzzzz

There's a handful of assholes, destroying everything that works in this life.... the same puzzle for me why are they still allowed to breathe?

Amen. Decades ago a Muslim spat on a London street. Some people were outraged and confronted him. He smirked and said, Call the police. I'll wait.
He knew. He already knew that the English no longer had their own nation.

Thanks Janos, perfect example.
Next the spitters will try to imprison anybody who speaks against spitting in church as an anti-spitist hater.

The dumbing down of our morals by Hollywood and the feckless purveyors of information..
Yes. IтАЩve been saying that for years
