    Bundy 1 occurred by the Bundy Family Ranch
    and some cowboys taking back Bundy cattle from
    Federal cattle thieves. Only the Federals had guns.

    Bundy 2 was in the Northwest in support of the Hammond Family Ranch.
    Although Obama & baby Bush persecuted the Hammond Family
    Trump gave them pardons after facing illegal, "double jeopardy".
    The Hammond Family disavowed them and their violent tactics.
    I do not believe Cliven or any Bundy was there.
    The Bundy name was used thus, Bundy 2.

    BLM Now Hopes Hammond’s Cattle Can Reduce Fire Risk
    (by grazing Hammond cattle on BLM land. )

    In a most ironic twist in a western saga that has featured more than a few twists, the Bureau of Land Management hopes cattle from Dwight and Steven Hammond – ranchers the U.S. government prosecuted for starting range fires – can reduce a fire risk on the high desert of eastern Oregon.


    The Hammond’s long-running dispute with the federal government ended with (TWO for the same trial and incident) prison sentences for arson — and later inspired the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation. President Trump pardoned the Hammonds in July of last year. . . .

    Another BRAVO Trump :applause:


    GET THE FEDERALS OFF LAND THAT IS RIGHTFULLY, STATE LAND!



    Moi :oldman:
    STOP Federal persecution of rural people.




    No :flagcanada:

    That photo is not an indication of anything.

    You can fnd empty store fronts in every city in the US. There are probably sitest that measure stuff like that.

    So, get a count of the empty store fronts in NYC and divide by the population.

    Then, do the same for somewhere else.

    Then, let us know.

    You should have watched the video. Manhattan, like many of our DP run urban Hell Holes, is becoming a ghost town for the rich DP elites.

    Those areas did not look anything similar to other pictures you've posted.

    And, I really don't see your point here. This is pure capitalism - supply and demand, changing strategies, more options for customers, etc.

    If some owner decides not to lower their rent and thus has more vacancy, that's THEIR decision - NOT the decision of he government. No conservative can possibly disagree with that.

    I'll have to tell you it seems you are trying pretty hard to suggest DP bad, RP good. But, this is a total fail at that.

    Ain't that swell? Kinda works out then, doesn't it? We, the 15%, do not have whatever it is that compels the 85% to live all squished together like that, but we are sincerely grateful that they do.

    I consider the idea that 'contentment without ambition is complacency' to be a description of complacency that best highlights the aspect of complacency that is statistically most likely to trip up young people. Do you want me to explain why I consider complacency to be a detriment and contentment to be an benefit?

    If you are interested in a strong economy, a high standard of living, a competitive and influencial America, it would be important to YOU that the ideas and direction seen as important by these centers of benefit to all America are respected.

    Actually I'd rather you answered my first questions...
    In reference to the part that's underlined, you seem to think it's important for "for the young ones".
    I'm asking how you came to that conclusion and by what criteria do you validate it's importance?
    Is it simply your own idea and opinion?
    And if so...what makes it so "important"?

    All I am asking is if this..."contentment without any ambition is just complacency."
    is simply your own idea, that you wish to teach young people,
    or does it come from another source? I can't find this info anywhere.
    Do you have a link? Or is it just you.

    The anti fascists only come out when violent right wing gangs come to town. But since the police have been arresting members of the violent right wing gangs, they haven't been coming around.

    The Hammond's committed crimes. The Bundy gang spent close to year in jail in Oregon after illegally trying to commandeer public land.

    As a regular user of public lands, it sounds kind of out of the loop, to think that state control of land would make it easier for those who exploit the land. It is rather shortsighted as states tend to have more restrictions on land use than does the Federal government.

    In Oregon, it was the state that made the Pacific Coast all public land. It is the state that controls logging on public lands.

    The Bundys are deadbeats in Nevada. If all the land was turned over to the state, the Bundys would be stealing from the state rather than the Feds. It is a lot easier to go after deadbeats in state and local courts than in Federal courts.

    I'm continually amazed at the level of criminality that those on the right advocate and defend. Like with Trump, a known criminal.

    I can’t help it that you refuse to grasp basic constitutional law.

    Blah, blah, blah. As long as they keep doing what they're doing where they're doing it, I'm all good with it. Cool?

    Not following. I explained why I phrase it the way I phrase it. In my experience, the phraseology I employ highlights the statistically most likely aspect of complacency that might encumber youth. There are a number of things that comprise complacency. Complacency is a complex of a number of things. It's not simple. Included among the characteristics attributable to complacency is a dearth of ambition. Contentment is a complex that includes ambition. Sometimes, not all of the time but sometimes, the only difference between complacency and contentment is the absence or presence of ambition.

    I hope that answers your question.

    Texas vs White is the biggest hurdle.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_v._White

    It's not treaty, but rather a decision which needs to be undone. Maybe it's possible, and I hope so. The union really should have been dissolved before the civil war was fought, but Lincoln thought otherwise.

    Not at all.
    I'm asking you a simple yes or no question....
    If..."contentment without any ambition is just complacency." is just your own idea...your own opinion..say "Yes"
    If the..."contentment without any ambition is just complacency." comes from some other source (besides yourself)
    then please post a link.

    No, it's Big Bad Government in action favoring its wealthy crony capitalist donors over the "little people".

    And it gets worse everyday.

    "These days, walking through parts of Manhattan feels like occupying two worlds at the same time. In a theoretical universe, you are standing in the nation’s capital of business, commerce, and culture. In the physical universe, the stores are closed, the lights are off, and the windows are plastered with for-lease signs. Long stretches of famous thoroughfares—like Bleecker Street in the West Village and Fifth Avenue in the East 40s—are filled with vacant storefronts. Their dark windows serve as daytime mirrors for rich pedestrians."
    CITY LAB, How Manhattan Became a Rich Ghost Town, New York’s empty storefronts are a dark omen for the future of cities., BY DEREK THOMPSON OCT 15, 2018.
