  • Honestly, I see this outcome as the majority of the people saying, “Less politics, please.” How about we try something new that’s something old? Using juries to select presidents, governors, and other government officials. Randomly selected citizens decide life and death for people accused of a crime. That’s a jury. I think the majority of us would be okay with randomly selected juries deciding elections too, especially if it means a serious reduction in how much we have to witness of the political campaign process.



  • I am looking at other photos. I can also see “Ne Desit Virtus” (Let Valor Not Fail) with a sword. That’s a symbol from the 187th Infantry Regiment. I also see the Chi Rho symbol, a Greek symbol for the name of Christ. Another tattoo is “MDCCLXXV” for 1775. Above that tattoo is an American Flag with a gun superimposed on it. I am not sure if these mean a recalling of the US War for Independence. The gun looks modern but could also serve as a bridge to the modern military of the US. On his other arm is “Deus Vult.”

    Broadly speaking, these tattoos suggest both military service and Christian identity.

    Not found are any symbols I’ve seen identified with White Nationalism. No Valknot, swastika, black sun, 88 symbol, Confederate symbolism, etc.

    Edit: The photo I was looking at is here: [https://i.imgur.com/kkroDES.png].









  • I walk or bike to about 90% of the places I need to go. That said, I also recently bought a vehicle for $1200. Works fine except the fuel gauge is broke so I have to just keep it topped off. My neighbor is trying to sell his Kia Rio for $1500. Works fine. It’ll last at least another 3 or 4 years. Likely more. I have a friend whose son totaled out his car. He wanted another. I recommended a car that was in the $1000 to $2000 price range. He didn’t want it. He took out a loan and got a very nice, very sporty car. Then he got in another wreck and totaled it out too. So then he goes and gets himself another expensive car. I just don’t understand.
