In Remembrance of the First Emperor and Protector of Mexico Joshua Norton.
He served honorably from 1859 to his untimely death in 1880.
Although we differ in leadership style and ideas for the future, I happily will continue the legacy as your 2nd United States Emperor.
@emzanotti
As an Emperor myself, all it takes is literally making the claim.
It's the best way to get a prestigious title. The best part is that I don't have to do anything extra once I have it!
@JoJoFromJerz
Ever been in a bad relationship with someone that you trusted, and they took that trust and used it against you?
Only this time its not a spouse but an armed government. To often the proletariat have been serfs.
Even if they die fighting, they cannot be abused anymore.
@CharlieJGardner
Weird the picture of the article is of a nuke plant, which emits water vapor. You wonder why the American people think there is dishonesty in the argument?
@bennyjohnson
Maybe we can finally get rid of this whole credit score scheme and go back to negotiating with banks directly?
I have almost zero debt and plenty in liquid assets and a low credit score, but I know people who owe tens of thousands and have high 700s.

I know what I would do if they got their fantasy.
Draw my borders and create varied tax incentives for trained and skilled men, business and land owners. Find a weapons market and begin reclaiming lost territory in the name of reaffirming unalienable rights.

It doesn't help that "left and right" is completely senseless as a way of describing political thought and theory. It comes from a specific historical context that was already simplified. Napoleon was a "left wing" Jacobin.
Try as I might to avoid using the terms, it seems

People like him are incredibly dangerous. He is well funded and doesn't see violence against his opponents to be wrong.
Keep a very close eye on him and his associates.
@michaelmalice
It isn't that they are helping him up, it's that his power and authority is so great that no one man is strong enough to carry his burdens.
@whatifalthist
Just imagine for a moment, if you will, that 2000 years from now some bored history student will be writing a paper on our time, and he will probably be wrong.
That always seems to make me feel better when I think about it.
@archeohistories
Before my current status, I worked in government, and I would see these often in people's houses. Sometimes with bright colors and textures. Some with batteries even.
@RepLorenaGarcia
That's fine, I'll just make my phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range, and sell it. Totally unregulated, because it isn't even a firearm.
@Resist_05
I'm actually quite impressed he was able to say 2SLGBTQI+ without stuttering. I can't even think it that fast.
How much practice would it take to say that so quickly? He must practice speech very often.
@rangermonk1
This is a philosophical take, not a practical one. All people have irrevocable human qualities that allows them to act within the bounds of nature.
A legal protection is utterly meaningless with nature. It is government that codifies it into a "right".
@RandPaul
I remember when we "declared war on terror". Everyone in my circle knew that because there was no clear defined goal (like unconditional surrender) that it was a going to be a war with no end in sight.
It is time to bring this chapter in our history to a close.
