There's already enough dicks and pricks in politics.
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
Like everything else, the cost of integrity has gone up.
One guy who stand's up will be the one guy who gets run over.
Easy target. (James Traficant)
You need a thousand, ten thousand standing up together.
The Lobby is the biggest prick on earth and despite the occasional appearance of the tinker toys in Congress creating the illusion of substantive debate, the Lobby is the be all end all in politics here and around the world.
The one government on Earth who resisted the covid voodoo was dead within 6 months.
>"Last year, President John Magufuli declared the virus a “satanic myth” propagated by imperialist powers. While his neighbors sealed borders and locked down, his country of 58 million stayed open. His government barred doctors from registering coronavirus as the cause of death and labeled those who wore masks unpatriotic.
Seeking to keep the economy open and rally nationalist sentiment ahead of elections, he blocked foreign journalists from entering the country, rejected vaccines and refused to provide data to the World Health Organization. News organizations reporting on Covid-19 were shut down for “scaremongering,” and reporters threatened with jail.
By this spring, the president was dead, along with six other senior politicians and several of the country’s generals. The official cause of Mr. Magufuli’s death was heart failure. The details remain secret. Diplomats, analysts and opposition leaders say he had Covid-19."

"You Can’t Win If You’re Not Willing To Die For What You Believe In"
"There will come a day very soon when you will have to defend your freedoms and the freedoms of future generations with your life. Embrace the suck and move on."
"Breaking away from the political left and starting fresh is socially and economically possible. It’s not as far fetched as some people believe. But then again, authoritarians usually can;t stand the idea of letting people just walk away and separate. They have a desperate need to micromanage and dominate EVERYONE. I hold out very little hope that leftists or globalists will allow us to live in peace; they will try to force their ideology on us at the barrel of a gun."
