It's all fun and games living in a police state until it's YOU thrown behind bars indefinitely.
Phew - good thing I don’t do things that would put me behind bars!
Weird thing about a police state is that a wide range of conduct can get you thrown behind bars, so I wouldn’t be du sure you’d be safe.

Your conclusion is correct.

Amen. I also hope karmel anthony gets murdered in prison asap. FYI- I'm black
WTF. He was threatened and attacked by a white guy bigger than himself, and defended himself. That said, I don't think he should have stabbed the guy to death. Meanwhile, I guess "stand your ground" only applies when you're white? And having all black jurors disqualified without any coherent rationale other than that they were black threatens to have Karmelo Anthony win an appeal. There are a WHOLE LOT OF PROBLEMS ON BOTH SIDES with the Karmel Anthony case.

"I'd rather lose self-government than see the people I don't like elected" is quite a take as we approach the 250th.
This is how we got in this mess. If y'all are going to be idiots, you'll get the government you deserve. I, for one, do not want a fed takeover.

Home Rule could be revoked by Congress no matter who wins, but I don’t think it will.

Thankfully, we don't live in that state now, so you don't need the police state.
Well, we’re talking about the future…but also https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/crime/12-year-old-arrested-armed-carjacking/65-08fc1f1b-6760-441f-bb86-e2d53b4435a6

Because she's a coward? Dump can't unilaterally declare home rule dead, takes an act of Congress and the GOP won't have Congress after November.

Tell Trump to eat a dick. No one cares about his opinion.
