Hobbes believed that without a sovereign power to enforce laws and maintain order, individuals would live in a state of constant fear and insecurity, driven by their self-preservation instincts. To escape this chaotic state, Hobbes argued that people enter into a social contract, agreeing to submit to a sovereign power in exchange for protection and stability

I guess they no longer teach Hobbes in Political Science at Universities

Democrats are astonishingly clueless and actually are agitators and instigators

Open borders begats chaos

Chaos begats chaos

Derp derp.

Then tell me, what does that chart of money prove?

Not my chart. I copied it from another thread. Go find and read the explanation yourself. I did. It doesn't seem that complicated to me.

I'm not going to argue with you about it. You already sent me on a wild goose chase lying about what you said about the money for the No Kings deal.

You're like Tanq, trying to tell me what to do. I'm not obligated to do your research for you. If you don't like what I post, tough sh!t. Just ignore it.

Or say it sucks. I don't care.

That's just it, there is NO explanation. Just a chart supposedly showing money moving from one non-profit to another...supposedly originating from federal funds.

But if you don't understand how non-profits work and/or fund accounting, you may idiotically believe that this proves something. It doesn't.

Think of it as buckets, fund accounting. You put money into one fund and that money can ONLY be used for certain things. So you have a bucket with federal funds that can only be used for things federal funds can be used for. Then you have another bucket of funds...say donations from individuals or funds raised by the organization from private sources...and any money that maybe was donated or spent on setting up the No Kings operation, or funding it, comes from the public, NOT the government.

And newsflash, yes, it takes money to coordinate a country-wide protest. Nobody disputes that.

Again, I didn't understand that you were trying to insinuate that this was nefarious or that it was done with government funding. I was only stating that the people going to them weren't paid or compensated for their travel...as specious as that is since most will have to travel a few minutes to attend one.

lol The resident leftists calling these riots "peaceful protests"is hilarious. (Sorry. "Mostly peaceful.")

That's what OPINIONS are, Clarence.

As people keep telling you, this is a freaking message board, not a courtroom. And I don't care whether you agree with what I post, or consider it valid, or not.

Especially since I disagree with almost everything you post, and the manner in which you post it.

I'm not going to waste my time debating you or Tom about anything. It's ridiculous. You never acknowledge you're wrong, you always denigrate anyone who disagrees with you, and if someone makes a valid point, you ignore it.

Now come on back with your third grade howler monkey comments, like you always do.

You need new material. Seriously.

Right...moments just after saying I was mistaken about what I posted.

Because when they do it, it's a-ok. If a right wing group so much as holds signs on street corners, the left's foot soliders mob them and beat them to a bloody pulp.

Dumbest. President. Ever.

He STILL thinks that water we wasted to flood the countryside after the fires were already out actually did something.

What does Tanq never admitting he is wrong have to do with you being wrong and me questioning you about it?

I said I never posted it.

Then I found that I had.

So I admitted my mistake.

And I've admitted DOZENS of mistakes here over the years. Stop assuming so much.

WTH are you even talking about? I was talking to Tanq, not you. I only said I wasn't debating you. The never wrong comment was to Tanq. Yes, we all know you admit when you're wrong.

Now get some cream for that rash.

No, dad, I'm not all "riled" up.

You're reading way too much into strongly worded posts.

Tom keeps saying Trump is the dumbest potus ever. Tom also voted for Biden. Compare and contrast which one appeared smarter during the debate that ended Biden’s political career and you can see just what a low IQ tard that Tom is

He probably voted for Obama as well, and he probably still thinks that Obama was the greatest President ever.
