With a contrast

From April 29, 1967

And Ronald Reagan

“We are here today to celebrate Law Day.

It is fitting that we do this on May 1 the same day that lawless communism celebrates the anniversary of the Red Revolution.”
“ The contrast is even greater than it might seem at first glance. Communism by definition is a government of men not of laws. It is the very antithesis of what our founding fathers had in mind when they laboriously and carefully designed our Constitution.”
businessinsider.com/trump-made-foo…
“They feared a strong, central government.Because a strong central government is a threat to personal liberty.”
globalnews.ca/news/6816307/c…
“ But, even more, they feared a government of men.Because they knew from first-hand experience that government by men is government uncontrolled and that is tyranny.”
foreignpolicy.com/2019/10/02/the…
“ They knew that no man was safe in his house, or in his property or in his person if his rights, personal or property, depended upon the whims of men or of a man.”

usnews.com/news/health-ne…
“ They set out to prevent this from happening.And the job they did through the document they wrote was the best in the history of man.”

vanityfair.com/news/2020/01/d…
“ But they were not infallible and the Constitution great as it is is not a perfect document.”

theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
“It can work only so long as a people truly desire to be free, only so long as men refuse to subject themselves to the rule of other men.”

“The man who said eternal vigilance is the price of liberty was not speaking lightly or tritely. Eternal vigilance is indeed the price of liberty.And that price is not too high to pay.“

Trump - let coronavirus “wash over us”

theguardian.com/us-news/2020/a…
“ But liberty, without law, without legal safeguards is not and cannot be liberty in the long run.It becomes, instead, license, revolution, and anarchy. ”

time.com/4544562/donald…
“ It leads, without qualification, to mob rule and from there to the rule of the many by the few.And these in turn establish or disestablish law as they see fit, or ignore the law and rule by fiat or edict. ”

timesofisrael.com/ivanka-trump-k…
“ What free men must achieve in order to remain free is a delicate balance wherein some liberty is sacrificed in order that the remainder can be preserved.”

Let coronavirus “wash over us”

To a clusterf*ck

rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
“ This cannot be successfully achieved or long maintained unless those who make the laws are answerable to the people and unless the people are willing and able to hold them answerable.”

nytimes.com/2020/02/05/us/…
And of course the “punishment”

usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Sorry back to Reagan
“We have jealously guarded the concept that ours is a government of laws, not of men.”

politico.com/amp/news/2020/…
“ But we must always remember that the laws are written by men, interpreted by men and changed by men.And that men are judged under the law by the other men.”

salon.com/2019/11/08/tru…
“ Because of this, Americans have an obligation to themselves and to those who will come after them to see that those who write the laws, those who interpret them and those who judge them are men of ability, men of honor and men who are fair-minded.”

If you made it this far have a compendium on Trump

To those fighting him be brave

To those selling him be brave - you know best what he is and choose to peddle him

To those victim to his lies be brave admit what you know to be true and face him

h/t @gordonrayner @Telegraph

I think the BBC are a fucking disgrace, to the nation, to journalism and their liberal metropolitan elite bias needs to be rooted out.

@POTUS @realDonaldTrump needs to sue them

But @BBCNews should IMO "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Here's why Image

I agree with @charliekirk11, America will never be the same

Say what you like about Julius Streicher but he never used the "crimes" of Ernit Wilmersdoerfer to drown out other news Image
Using the horrific murder of Iryna Zarutska as part of your press/social media campaign to drown out the Epstein Birthday Card really is quite shameless Image
Image
What is worse it that this is also done by party who:

1) invented fake news on $ support to justify Trump extortion of Ukraine's resources

2) used Russian talking points to attacl Zelensky

3) considered revoking the status of Ukranian refugees

4) lied about peace in 24hrs

I do not think "harshness" is the issue
I think "preparedness" is the issue
So I'm going to talk about Piers and Natasha

On Thomas Jeffferson, James Madison & others

But first I want to start with a comedian

“I think everyone will agree that it’s actually nice to once again have a president who’s not afraid to come to the White House correspondents’ dinner.”

“The reason we are here is to honor and celebrate the Fourth Estate and what you stand for"
“Every single one of you, whether you like it or not, is a bastion of democracy,”

“Journalists are risking and even losing their lives to show the world what is happening.”
