Calvin and Hobbes reruns are in the colander brain helmet arc this past week, note:
I don’t get the willingness to just keep digging a hole. Even as a teenager being treated poorly by police (nothing major, speeding ticket kinda stuff) I knew to keep my trap shut and say, “Yes officer, thank you officer.” Any lip from me would only make my situation worse.
Prosecutors recommended a four-month prison stint for Giustino. They had initially requested a 21-day sentence but pursued a longer term of incarceration after the massage therapist defiantly disrupted a June 23 court hearing. During that proceeding, Giustino dubbed his case “an absolute clown show of a prosecution,” used language that appeared to reference the sovereign citizen extremist movement’s believe that the U.S. government is illegitimate, and said, “Why don’t I issue a warrant for your arrest?” after the judge threatened to order one against him because of his courtroom conduct.
What you describe of your behavior of old is what’s known as rationale, albeit a bit rebellious. The sovcits are simply irrational. The prime indicator that is they buy into the sovcit nonsense.
I getcha. Just seems to me you be nice to the people with the (proverbial) gun to your head. No matter how unfair or wrong you “think” it is you still say, “Yes sir/ma’am/officer/your honor. Thank you.” Your very future depends on how you behave.
This is next level stupid.
They certainly do seem to be quite mimsy.
Yep. And that level is called irrational. The real worry, though, is these irrational jerks are dangerous.
Y’know, I’m beginning to regret coming to work for the Tyrell Corporation.
Don’t worry about it. This moment will disappear like tears in the rain.
Yep. Definitely time to head Offworld.
Musk is taking volunteers for the early Mars missions.
Not with that guy, thanks.
No way he’d make the trip himself. He knows he’ll be killed and eaten.
In space no one can see your cosplaying manchild X-tweet.
Idle Thoughts, if you have time on your hands, read the Meads decision from the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench. More than you will likely ever need to know about the SovCits.

Being an old retired guy, I read it. Kudos to that judge - brilliant!
I wouldn’t eat that. Nope. Not gonna happen. Huh uh.
What if he had an apple stuck in his mouth?
They are certainly SovCit adjacent, using the same kind of arguments, but there’s one key difference. A sheriff has actual power under the current system, so these guys are just asserting that they have more power than they actually do. They still fundamentally support the notion that “government has power”, they’re just disagreeing with which bits have the most power. SovCits would deny the existence of any such power, period.
Great, now apples are also ruined.
Thanks a lot Coach.
Getting back to the topic. “Bullshit and gobbledygook” says the judge to a January 6 defendant and self-described sovereign citizen, and I say amen
Queen Romana has apparently returned to Richmound, Saskatchewan!
Romana’s back and you’re gonna be sorry
Hey la, hey la, the Queen is back
"Her vehicles, entourage, and dogs are there,” one local wrote VICE News early Tuesday morning. “Whether the little weasel is there physically or at a follower’s home I cannot say for certain.”
No, I cannot forget from where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
The Queen brings harmony and tranquillity to any town blessed by her benficent presence, even if at times it seems that Canadian “nice” is being tested.
"…it’s creating an atmosphere where they’re at each other’s throats. These conflicting viewpoints came to a boiling point at a town hall last week which ended with several townsfolk telling each other to “fuck off.”
