In my opinion the pinnacle of how shameless and demented these people are was when we tried to make a 9/11 statue of the firefighters who raised an American flag at Ground Zero. Sadly, the firefighters were all white so they cancelled it after activists demanded something more inclusive that did not match reality.

“We can’t unite as Americans because of Trump.”
Nope. These people have been psychopaths for my entire life. I guess a lot of people were willing to ignore the excesses because they wanted a discount at the hospital or whatever. So now we are here.
As it says in my bio thingy I am a DERF (Democrat Exclusionary Radical Federalist).
We have 50 states and we need to use them. Block grant everything except the military back to the states. California will have a bunch of money to go full communist and Florida can do freedom stuff.
We don’t need a national divorce. The country is already supposed to be divorced and we just forgot. So now we are all fighting for the remote when there are supposed to be 50 different TVs, each with their own remote.
Ibram — How would you allocate block grants? For example, what if the formula included something like — states only receive in block grants what that state contributes (percentage wise) in federal tax dollars? The current formula has been modified several times over the past 60 years or so, wouldn’t federalism hold that a state should not be obligated to financially support another state? Curious how you would allocate? Thanks.
Percentage wise. California would get more money and they would waste it. Alabama would get less money and they would cut back the various welfare benefits the federal government is currently forcing on them.
Obviously, it’s a farce that California is currently ‘supporting’ Alabama because ALL of the disproportionate funding sent to Alabama goes to pay for poverty programs that jackass Democrats invented and then crammed down on everyone.
It’s like your wife who makes more money than you saying that her paycheck is subsidizing the cost of your man cave after she forced you to get mahogany paneling and decorative vases for your man cave.
(I know, it’s frustrating when someone suddenly has an easy explanation illustrating why the Democrat talking point you’ve used 1000 times is actually fairly ridiculous)
No. That definitely would not happen. Alabama has more than sufficient tax revenue to fund programs for people who legitimately cannot take care of themselves. There are 10 million available jobs paying record wages....for now......
Worth noting that the argument you are now making totally destroys the core of your immigration argument which insists that flooding your country with millions of destitute people magically *helps* the economy.
Now you are saying that large numbers of Alabamans would suddenly become destitute (they wouldn’t) and that these destitute people would *hurt* the economy. Hmmm. Oooops.
Commendable. Was thinking along lines of block grants the other day. But the earthquake to actually GET there??!? Lookin' for some "baby" steps, to counterattack what's already been going ON here lately.
It seems like a good solution. The forefathers who are so denigrated by the communists that want to take over actually did foresee the federal government getting out of control. Thus they built in this safeguard to rein them in. It appears they are about half way there.

Good job everyone.
👍👍👍
Dunno about psychopaths. But would be curious, M. Candy, what would You SUGGEST instead-a this crap? To move FORWARD?

good stuff...Candy man, Military to the Feds and Schools to the States etc. and Keep the voting Regs away from the Judges.
With your thoughts and my beauty, we could get something accomplished.
Haha! Throw me in and You got classic case of "The Good, The Beautiful, and The Ugly" starring Clint Eastwood in all three roles.
OK, good scenario but no sex scenes
Naw. I'll let this one pass after all. Haha!

Federalism!! Great idea!!

An Article V convention of states would be a good start. Federalism needs to be rediscovered.
Ah, found it on first try! https://conventionofstates.com/ Just a quick flyby the other day, so have absolutely NO idea of their chances.

I just signed a petition the other day calling for amendment to get smaller government, I thin' it was. I'll try to look into it, if/when time.
May not be obvious: No way sarcastic, M. Candy. Like Your views, and the other commenters so far as well.
