  1. The Flag the Stand the Reason, The Man ( By Steven F. Gooden )

     

    No trifle  stripe doest grace this Cloth

    Each Band, each strand by blood, no froth

     

    Whilst noblest battles do rage and grow

    We stay the course for this we know

    No cost for cause tis too much too pay

    When freedom cries this too we pray

    That men will rise,  risk life & Limb

    For, Family, Country but most for HIM

     

    It’s He who formed us by His Design

    So for His Purpose  keep this in Mind

    All men, no matter how  poor or rich

    Great or not were equally stitched

    Made in His Image, both mind and Soul

    To perform His will for the good of the Whole

     

    Kneel not for tyranny, in hate or Jest

    Stand up rather, for 2 feet are best

    Stand up give Thanks for those who cant

    Those who’ve died to give voice to rant

    Ever thankful for your rights by blood

    Thus Use it wisely for this they stood

     

    They stood and fell that we might rise

    Tis Now our turn, our fight to realize

    Freedom’s cost tis always born in strife

    It’s price is life and Sacrifice

     

    Remember and pause for all those before

    They were first  with less, did more

    This Flag we salute, this idea we cling

    It’s for this idea we stand  and sing

     

    For No trifle  stripe doest grace this Cloth

    Each Band, each strand from blood, not froth

     

    Whilst noblest battles do rage and grow

    We stay the course for this we know

    No cost for cause tis too much too pay

    We answer freedom’s cry and  say

    We all will rise, and  risk life & Limb

    For our Family, our Country but most of all for HIM

    but most FOR HIM!

     

    – Steven F. Gooden

    1. @Ronald Giroux I agree! I think she did some shady stuff with her emails, but the spectacle it became was a complete waste of our money!

  2. Could you have had at least one committee member who didn’t previously vote to impeach? At least pretend you were trying to be fair and impartial.

    1. They could have but apparently Republicans blocked having an Independent Commission for investigation so they must be fine with their current committee.

    2. @Otakumichibi Naw yer just talkin demon tongue dont want any of this satanic “info” in mah comment section

  3. Where TF is the prime time special about how we are going to lower fuel cost and inflation? I don’t give a $hit about J6 when I’m paying $75 extra a week on just fuel.

  4. Where TF is the prime time special about how we are going to lower fuel cost and inflation? I don’t give a $hit about J6 when I’m paying $75 extra a week on just fuel.

    1. @meroinheroin says the person who thinks putting a sign on their front yard is sufficient for their cause.

    2. I don’t care, I just care enough to watch and whine about gas price…Go buy another red hat.

  5. Intimidate electors to change their vote. Is that like intimidating Supreme Court Justices to change their vote?

    1. No… asking the legislators to do their job.
      PA State Supreme Court has already ruled that the mail in ballots were against state constitution.

    2. Yeah probably. I’m sure there are slight legal distinctions between them based on the details about each. Both are pretty fucked up and dangerous ways to voice your opinion. That goes for any type of riot too.

  6. Please give me my tax dollars back so I can just go burn it myself. I’d rather do that then to watch other people do it. This is pure torture and negligence.

  7. Words matter, this is Merriam Webster’s definition of insurrection verbatim: “The act of revolting against civil authority” in other words what blm and antifa did for 8 consecutive months in 2020.

    1. @Otakumichibi shhhh if you actually apply legal rules to this it doesn’t support his argument very cleanly! Why would you bring that up?!

    2. @G L Well, as they said, “words matter”. Can’t start denying that, especially in the matter of law/real life context.

  8. If only we could still see the dislike to like ratio. If one has to censor truth, one is not only the bad guy, one is the lowest of the bad guys. One is the weak bad guy.

    1. @Surj138 There’s not really any evidence for that to be YouTube’s motive considering how they profit from controversial videos.

      As is more likely and less biased take, it has to do with complaints from private companies and advertising which they do care about. As companies trying to actually sell you something care way more about likes and dislikes on YouTube.

    2. Why on EARTH do people care about the (dis)like ratio??? Do you not realize there are bots that can flood vids with ups or downs? Are people actually forming opinions on the “goodness” or “badness” of vids, or even the “truth” of vids, based on up/down votes?!?

      Is thinking for oneself SOO out of fashion?

    3. @Aeroldoth3 Buddy they’re trying to justify anything to hold onto the false perception of their reality. It’s incredibly depressing that so many people are this upset over having to take some accountability.

  9. In a country where majority of people have guns, no guns were brought to the so called
    Insurection.

    1. While there are a LOT of guns, most Americans do not actually own one. Also guns aren’t required for an Insurrection to be considered “armed” and dangerous nor was everyone searched at the time of the event.
