Lou Solverson: So... There's a look a boy gets when he's been shot or a - or a land mine takes off his legs, and he's laying there in the mud, trying to get up, 'cause he doesn't feel it yet.
Ed Blumquist: I, uh, don't...
2/
Lou: His - his brain hasn't caught up with the reality, which is he's already dead.
Peggy:Ed, he's scaring me.
Lou:But we see it, the rest of us. And we lie. We say, "Lay still. You're gonna be fine." If you'd been to war, you'd know the look. See, you and Peggy, you got the look
That’s the media. The media doesn’t realize they got the look. And the rest of us see it. Written plain across their face

Healthcare is not a right. College is not a right. A job is not a right. These are luxuries. Rights are inalienable. You know what inalienable means? Means no outside force can revoke it. Life and liberty are rights! 1/
If one were to take your life then that is tyranny. If one were to kidnap you and take your liberty that is unlawful. The constitution states these rights are intrinsic to our being. 2/
College is not a right. It is a luxury. Someone pays for luxuries. Whether it be the individual or another individual for another or even by increasing taxes and standard of living or someone else’s standard of living decreases. That is a payment. Not a right. It’s a debt. 3/
Ok so, prediction. Cuz I’m so good at them right 🙄. Lol the Dems have won 218 seats in the house. 218 votes is needed to be speaker. Democrat opponents are already putting out ads against nancy. She’s stubborn. She’s not going to relent 1/
Let’s say the dems stay at 218 or 220. Now pelosi will vote for herself so if it’s 218 something similar to this is likely to happen. If it’s 220 then her chances are higher but still there’s a bloc that don’t want her. Even 2 votes can be a bloc. 2/
The question is who will be speaker? Could it be a gop compromise? Hmmm McCarthy wants it but I’m not sure that’s what happens. Here’s a fun fact of the constitution. The Speaker of the House can literally be anyone. They don’t have to be members of the house. 3/
You know what feudalism is? It’s where Theres this jackass that lives in this castle. With allllllll his family and friends. He has got the EFFING LIFE! Now he needs to make sure he keeps this life he has. So he needs to be fed. He needs clothes. 1/
He needs horses. He needs water. He needs alcohol for parties! Oh he’ll need stuff for parties! But where will he get all this crap? Hmmmm he needs people. I mean he ain’t finna do it he important man. He ain’t gonna get his fam to do it. Gotta find people. Hmmmm But who?
Ohhhh he gets you! I mean you can’t live in the castle with him and his people. I mean unless you’ve got money to pay to party. Do you? No? No gold? Ok. Well uh can you blacksmith? Make like some horseshoes? No? Well you could have got in the walls that way. Hmmm
Who will a lockdown hurt? THE MIDDLE CLASS! The poor will keep getting govt funding and the rich don’t give a shit cuz they’ll be fine.
The Democrats want two classes. Rich assholes and poor schmucks. I refuse to participate. I’m not a cog. I’m not in a class.
I’m an American. Born in the country that was founded on principles of liberty. Do the Democrats want that? No! Like the “living wage.” Who the hell does that help? There will be 2 options with a “living wage” (A) you’re fired (B) you’re stuck in that job forever
“That can’t be true matt!” Yeah it is! Cuz businesses have labor budgets. If they go over that budget your hours get cut or you get cut. You think they care if you have a living? No! They’re not your daddy! The Democrats want to be your daddy! Dependent!
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early
The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
I have been telling y’all this since before the election. This is what this Dr believes. He even said that HE doesn’t want to live past 75! This is not “conservative hype” or hysteria. Emanuel is a student of Peter Singer. Who is peter singer and what does he believe? 1/
The Australian ethicist and Princeton professor believes in both infanticide and euthanasia. He calls infanticide “fourth trimester abortion” saying that a person isn’t human until they are sentient and it brings happiness to the mother. 2/
He even concedes the point to Prolife advocates & says that sure a human life begins at conception but since it has no sentience, no idea that it is alive, then u could kill it well after the baby is born. Whether because of Down’s syndrome or even the mental health of the mother
