□ [“Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts Blocks Handover of Trump Tax Forms to House Democrats"]

Definitely a surprise, who would have expected Roberts of all people to stop the government harassment of Trump?  If they can't actually beat him, the tyrants will at least harass and pester Trump 24/7.

The only info I see is that a lower court approved seizing Trump's tax forms, which is why he went to the Supreme Court.  No clue what's good, bad or otherwise.  I'm just amazed that anyone on the court refused to obey our rulers demands.

□ [“Brazilian President Plans Presser Tonight – Will Announce Military Audit of Controversial Election, May Arrest Criminal Judges"]

You know, I was just thinking there aren't enough problems in the world, so maybe we should give Brazil something to fight about.  So a socialist steals the elections and now they get to fight over it too.  Yay!

One thing I remember from Trump's final weeks was when we were told about the complexity of the war being fought around the world.  That's why something like this sticks out to me.  As Americans, naturally we all think America is the only place that matters.  To an extent, we're absolutely right about that because hey, we're Americans.

But there are people and nations who aren't American, sad as that may sound.  I've also noticed that some details on regional conflicts going on elsewhere often don't make any sense.  As an American, I'm baffled, 'why are they fighting about that and not something else?'  But to them it really is important and whether or not we understand is irrelevant.

This is one of the aspects of individualism vs. collectivism that I'm trying to figure out and explain.  A collectivist will pretend to understand what they're fighting about and why and demand we get involved.  An individualist will say 'it's their problem, let them handle it.'  There's only 24 hours in the day so you can't actually focus on everything and every second you spend focusing on one problem - yours or someone else's - is one less second to spend on anything else whatsoever.

At some level, collectivists recognize that, they just somehow manage to delude themselves that they've got the answer.  They'll send someone else to solve the problem, someone who agrees with them on everything.  You can see this delusion with the adoration they have for the rulers which is the opposite of the equality they claim to have for everyone.

They could complain about Joe Biden babbling nonsense and still support him, they could demand Syria and Palestine expand their abortion facilities along with the support we send, they could demand Ukraine draft trans-genders to fight Russia as much as they draft men.  They sure spend a lot of time talking about all these things, they just always avoid any subject that shows the problems with collectivism.

□ [“Biden says His Son Beau Died of Cancer Minutes After He Said His Son Died in Iraq War"]

What the hell are they doing?  I can get that Biden has very little to think about but who's writing these speeches for him?  It's easy to google where Beau died and it's not remotely near Iraq in time or distance.

Maybe he was told that Beau died in Iraq and he's never bothered to question it?  That sounds ludicrous, I know, but at this point can you say it's totally unbelievable, Biden would have to be given accurate information on his son's death?  Or he'd at least be interested enough to check what happened to the son he ostensibly cared about?  Or maybe Beau really was deployed to Iraq at the time of his death and the government flat-out lied to us about it?

We did invade Iraq not too long before Beau died, that much is true.  [Father's Day 2014, ah, memories...]  We know that sons of politicians do get somewhere in the military regardless of their ability.  Is it impossible?  No.  Is it unlikely?  Probably, but this means Biden is giving out information he shouldn't.  Or else he's just a mindless idiot who has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth.  What's more likely?

I'm a little more hopeful, but then I was much more hopeful in 2020 and look what happened there.  Maybe I'm just deluded.

He's probably just encouraging his people to cheat more.  They aren't going to learn.

It's been pointed out for quite a while that our rulers are behaving like the abusive party in a relationship.  Since unfortunately, I have no experience with abusive relationships - I blame women for that - I've been trying to think of how it works.  Isn't there a point where the abuser promises to change and do better next time?  Their behavior was for our own good because they care?

The best I can find on the internet is Four Stages:  Tension-building, Incident of abuse, Reconciliation and Calm stages at which point is starts again.  So right now this would clearly be Reconciliation.

They're trying to make up to us for the last two years of tyranny.  Some are even admitting that imposing things that don't work against viruses was a bad idea.  They don't actually say they were wrong, they don't offer to repay us for the time, energy and money they stole, they just want a mass amnesty.

Fuck.  That.

I'm at the point where I think there's only two kinds of amnesty, 5.56 and 9mm.  In a clinch there can be a rope which is helpfully reusable for more amnesty.

Maybe that's a little too far.  Maybe not, but just as back-up plan, since they appreciate vaccines, we can inject them in the forehead with a healthy pigment to make a nice big letter "X."

No matter what happens, I think next week's elections are the end of the road.  Even if Republicans massively win, the rulers have already prepared and will just move on to the next step of destroying everything.  And I expect them to steal many elections, if not all.  There's also the leftists who self-identify as "Republicans" to deal with.

Beyond that, there's the collapse of supply, logistics, fuel and the economy awaiting us this winter.  Then there's the actual wars going on around the world.  For all I know, none of us will be around by New Years.
