You're completely white-washing the crucial distinction of racial slavery:
Racial slavery was justified because the enslaved race wasn't even human.
This is what makes American slavery so much worse than Roman times.

You're white-washing the Romans. Julius Cesaer started with 3 million Gaul barbarians. In his Celtic Holocaust, he killed off 1 million and enslaved 1 million in a span of 7 years.

Biden isn't a fascist.

Tell that to the ANTIFA protesters doing it. They started protesting him as a fascist the day after he won the election.

More nationalist than racist. Before Haji it was Charlie, Nips, Jerry & Fritz... There's always slang for the enemy.

Here's a proper Exhibit A: Coffee is November Juliet.

But I suspect there was plenty of tear gas at the ready if the needs had been.

No M203. They were sent with basic riot control gear, yeah. If you're expecting coordinated militias attacks you want a bit more, just sayin' :) Have a nice weekend!

All gratis by the government.

None of that is gratis.

In Communism the government doesn't tell you where to work in most cases. However, unemployment is illegal and the government will create make-work if that's what it takes for you to have a job.

Protesting Fascism. It's what "they" do in Portland.

Wray has vast bi-partisan support in Congress.

Add narcotics K-9 next to the medal detectors and lets see what happens.

Gotta love the pragmatism of the military at times!

Indeed. Nobody wants a private to go combat ineffective because he ate the banana used in a show and got gonorrhea in his throat.

Sorry to disagree with you Sitzkrieg, but 25,000 troops with M4 carbines and M16A4 automatic rifles with optional bayonet fixtures I consider armed to the teeth.

Okay, but it's not. Sensible optics prevent them from being heavily armed. The number of troops is because that's about how many Trumpers were at the rally that turned into a riot.

Heavily armed is when they break out MRAPs with Mk 19 grenade launchers on top.

No mortars, no shoulder fired missiles, no artillery support, no MANPADs, no heavy machinegun positions...

25,000 Americans with rifles is a very dangerous force... but that's the least dangerous way we use them.

Twenty-five thousand troops armed to the teeth to make the inauguration safe from violence.

They were absolutely not "armed to the teeth". They deployed with a very light amount of firepower.

That's smart. They're in the middle of what's very likely the largest surge in cases they've ever had to deal with. The Senate confirmed him 92-5 so he has broad support.

Stop making low quality people that keep buying them?

Oooh. That's something that will be interesting to watch. Musk went from environmentalist darling to Covid-denying red-piller packing up for Texas.

But Biden is promising electric car subsidies, which is critical to Tesla's bottomline. Speaking of that bottomline, with adults in charge do you think they will investigate his stock pumps now? or the battery swap scam he pulled on California? Enron quality investigations? Tesla market cap is equal to the entire automotive industry based on 0.7% of new car sales, but none of the other's stock has gone down, which means people believe the new car market has doubled in the last 2 years...

Which word triggered you? It's not my fault their buildings went from having an Art Deco style appeal to ugly boxes once they transitioned to Communism under Stalin.

How does one devise a plan without knowing what one is dealing with first?

It's not an unknown. You're doing with somebody going out of their way to obstruct you and give you zero info. That gives you a blank slate to design a program that can move rapidly.

Good thing Biden setup a Covid task force in November.

The impact of brutalism lasts longer, especially when it's nostalgia for old dudes from the tail end of that era.

The 1920s-1930s Russia is called Constructivist Architecture, it had more flair than Stalinist Architecture that came after. The Zuev Worker's Club isn't far off of something you might find in Vegas in the early to mid 90s.

Constructivist is what you get when people have a love affair with the ideas of socialism and communism. Idealism.
Stalinist architecture is what you get when you achieve single party communism. Brutalism.

Wow he really told Canada go shove Keystone up their eh-holes.

First President in my lifetime not to engage in any new military conflicts.

I can't think of anything else good off the top of my head.

I left Los Angeles with a distinct impression that the good people (drivers) of Los Angeles take pedestrians very seriously.

The Teslas that suffered alleged unintended acceleration incidents into pedestrians, good news bad news. Good news, it was never the car. Tesla's throttle control logic is great. Bad news, it was the Californian behind the wheel, often trying to drive 1 pedal.

Deer whistles. They work okay and are very cheap. I don't think most Tesla owners know those exist though..

I suppose that this rule can be re-invoked in a few hours?

Technically, Biden was promising to revoke it since Trump did it. Now he's free to re-do it... ....

Overall pretty good presentation. Biden could have cut his speech in half for the same impact. Poem was great.

Almost everybody including Biden used the same mic. Seems like they could have done more personal mic's like Gaga had. Lets hope they were all thoroughly tested.
