I guess “default to assuming it’s untrue” wasn’t how I should’ve put it.

If they told me the sky was blue, I wouldn’t say they’re wrong but I’d probably still look up just to be sure.

Uh, no? “An eye for an eye.” is old school ancient.

It was however a limiting statement. When Hammurabi made “an eye for an eye” into law, it meant you couldn’t just go kill a man’s entire family over losing an eye and call it justified.

Hmm yes, to save the democracy one must absolutely kill the democracy. We just have to suspend certain rights and liberties until “the enemy within” is rooted out.

Certainly not fascism.

Wouldn’t we all, but needs must when the devil drives.

Wounded Knee (the second one not the original one) was 1973.

Kent State in '70. The Bonus Army (homeless WWI vets) in the 30s. Blair Mountain (coal miners on strike) and the Tulsa Race Massacre in '21.

Only a half dozen times in the last 100 years or so.

So, considering the stranglehold the two party system has on American politics…what was the right answer?

Vote for a third party candidate, that is systemically prevented from attaining a position?

Yeah the Democratic Party is tragically obsessed with pandering to the right and holding their “moderate” position; but damage control is damage control.

Soft face is exactly what it says, it’s got soft rubber faces, basically just a shrunk down rubber mallet. Use it on things you don’t want to leave marks on.

Double peen is basically just a soft face except one side is like a hard epoxy like material. Harder than the rubber side, still softer than a metal head would be.

You should default to assuming anything Fox says is untrue without a second source to verify. Because legally they can just say whatever they want and aren’t beholden to any type of journalistic standards because they aren’t news.

They have no more credibility than a random social media user.

Boot cut means a slightly flared leg (think a very very subtle bell bottom) so that they fit over cowboy or work boots easier.

Relaxed fit means it’s made a little bigger in the seat and thighs compared to the same size in a regular fit. The lines/silhouette aren’t as clean/nice, but it’s comfier; which is why it’s called relaxed fit.

Bought a copy of The MilePost for a road trip up the Alcan last year.

Very specific, relevant information along with maps in a paper format is ideal when you’re driving through remote areas with little to no cell signal.
