Star Wars and Donald Trump, anyone?

[sportage]

I never could understand republicans....
They seem to have this fixation with hurting the poor, the elderly, the middle class, with disallowing them decent healthcare, a decent affordable education, social security, and true freedom as well as their pursuit of personal happiness.
They can blow and throw away trillions on everything else under the sun, but to help people?
No, that they can not do.

They remind me of those STAR WARS movies.
Where the dark side just could not and would not tolerate the idea of those happy carefree little Wookiee's living free and jolly in their lush forests and giant jungles on their happy little planet of Kashyyyk.
Oh No....
The dark side, i.e. republicans in congress (and elsewhere) just hated and despised the very notion that Wookiee's existed in the first place, and that Wookiee's just wanted to be happy and free and left alone to live their happy little lives on their happy little planet.

The dark side JUST HAD TO, INSISTED ON, DEMANDED that they elect their Darth Vader (who by the way may have won the electoral college but lost the popular vote by 2.7 million), and then build their very own big scary death star.
So along with president elect Darth and his VP Pence, they promised to build their Wall, ops I meant to say "DEATH STAR", then insisted by using the trio they could then screw and toucher the fun loving happy little Wookiee's day in and day out to no end.
They fooled millions into voting for them, then for no logical reason used that power to torment endlessly every single little adorable Wookiee on the face of planet Kashyyyk.
The dark side has no justification for existence other than to attack, torment, and annihilate Wookiee's by cutting their Wookiee healthcare, by cutting their Wookiee social security, and by eliminating their rights to safe and accessible Wookiee abortion.
Not to mention their right for Wookiee marriage equality.

The dark side just can not stand it that one single Wookiee might be allowed to live free and happy and allowed to romp through lush forests and giant jungles.
The dark side are forever hell bent on building death star's solely for roaming the universe, driven by their leaded VIP Darth and VIP Pence, to blast away every sign of happiness and adorableness they might happen upon.

I just don't know what it is with them, republicans, where they must build death stars, elect Darth Vader's, and then by using the two go after anything and everything that loves happiness, freedom, lush forests and giant jungles.
Oh, and they also refuse to accept the science of climate change.
So not only do they insist on middle class Wookiee annihilation, they must also annihilate the lush forest and giant jungles as well.
Surely they can think of better, positive, more productive things to do, having been given such power?
I just don't get it... The dark side. Go figure.

But good sir I submit that we already parallel those movies. Our military is the death star equivalent on this world roaming the 7 seas in search of conflict, either real,imaginary or concocted for the purposes of justifying the existence of our death star. Money that could be spent on urban renewal and infrastructure is blown up every day in the name of pseudo freedom to support our death star's military industrial complex.

Darth Vader would be proud of the common law interpretation of our constitution that has allowed modern terminology and understandings to be applied to alter the meaning of the constitution to suit our intelligence community. You might wrongfully believe that it protects your right to privacy but you would be wrong. There are no express terms within the document that guarantee your right to privacy in any way allowing the government at any level to listen to you by whatever means they wish to employ and they already have a system in place independent of your telephone and cell phone to do this with.

Would you feel uncomfortable if you knew that you didn't have any privacy to speak freely in your own home right now without the possibility of being listened to at random intervals or constantly if they so desired? You should feel uncomfortable right now then because its already in your home and has been for decades and you just didn't know it. The thing is that you have been conditioned to accept the unit as a required safety device when it operates as a surveillance device the overwhelming majority of its life. The police use it to listen in on people to gain information without a wiretap and the associated warrant which is not required with this system and often do so to learn about things when they want to harass you without you realizing it. You have also been conditioned by Hollywood to think in express terms that wiretapping and eavesdropping require bugging like in the movies which is not true nor has it been true since the 60's thanks to this technology if you worked for the federal government who used it first. Those massive DHS threat fusion centers didn't go up in large population centers just because they wanted to provide jobs in those areas.

Do you know anyone who's been harassed by the police and they couldn't understand how they knew so much about them? Do you see any cops in your neighborhood that seem to be spending an unordinary amount of time at home and have been over the past several years? Did their patrol cars disappear but their POV's seem to stay home a lot? Open your eyes people to the new reality that you live in right now. It's been 1984 for a long time but you were asleep while it transpired around you. Between this system and your smart meter telling on your power usage you have zero privacy at home and couldn't try to hide out there if you wanted to. This system has expanded in recent years now offering dual wire/wireless capability adding to their abilities. I've already filtered mine out because I understand the nature of the threat and they cannot do a damn thing about it.

Darth Vader found redemption.

Also Wookie's are not adorable. They are known to rip the arms out of people's sockets when they lose after all.

Try again Jar Jar.

Also, interesting to note that the Dark Side was able to win by exploiting the Jedi's arrogance and Senate's corruption.

Sportage, your posts are way too long. I'd try to get them to one smallish paragraph.
I think it would do you well to not post anything about Trump until after the new year. I'd avoid P&N too. I don't think it's making you happy and I believe its bringing you down.
