Sigh, if little doesn’t run I’ll have to vote for bundy. At least he just seems like he’s stupid evil, and has some grand ideas about things not deliberate premeditated evil just fir the sake of fucking people over for petty and venal hate based gain.

Bundy’s entire agenda is based on “government is bad.” Like you say, he’s not hateful, he’s not motivated by the idea of owning the libs. He just wants to destroy any form of government control, with no analysis of what benefits it might be providing.

Unfortunately, the end result is much the same: the more vulnerable population gets fucked over. I don’t envy you the choice. (Maybe we can work a trade - you can join Greater Oregon when all the idiot dipshits here secede to Greater Idaho.)

True, but I feel that with bundy, there is a small modicum of humanity there that you can appeal too, possibly with some sort of success. Half a slice of bread is better than the big fat nothing I forsee with the crazy in the lt gov office

Moving is already in the formulating plans stage. I’m desperately trying to convince my parents, but at some point, well they’ve been adulting longer than I have so…

Well, there is a [Goyim Squad](https://dissentpins.com/collections/secret-jewish-space-laser/products/secret-jewish-space-laser-corps-goyim-squad-enamel-pin) version, which I wish I’d known about before I ordered. (Confession: I’m 100% Western European _goy_, though in this matter I choose to be Jewish.)

I suspect you all know that Ammon (an anagram of that is “no mam”; it’s also mamon, which is a false object of worship with one less “m”) Bundy is running for Idaho’s governor spot. He’s also supposed to be doing public service in payment for his crimes. So his lawyer sent in his campaigning hours and labeled them as “community service”. The state is not really all that amused.

Sure, count campaigning time toward his community service hours – if he manages to get elected. If not, _increase_ his required community service hours by the number of hours he’s spent campaigining.

If he gets elected, he can just pardon himself and make the whole thing go away.

Mom lives in Boise and I’m in Arizona. We both watch our respective embarrassments and tease each other about them. At least mine is a snazzy dresser with an advanced sense of fashion. The best the Bundys got is their cowboy boots.

Dipshit Ammon Bundy is arrested again, this time for trespassing at a hospital. He refused to leave, instead taking the stance that parents have an absolute, unassailable right to starve their 10 month old child to death.

It’s entirely unclear to me why the child was losing weight. Was it due to improper feeding, or to an illness? What was the disagreement about the treatment?

– and the OP article either has just disappeared, or one’s only allowed to read it once. I closed the tab and then tried to go back to it, but I keep getting “access denied.”
