lol, The Comet is just starting to roll

Correct, Rand was all about Capitalism and those that understand put that on our list of things to conserve; but what pisses me off is when people that truly don't get it and even some that do, (if they thought about it) jump on the Sacrifice/non sacrifice bandwagon.
I like to put it this way using Rand's own words, just spelled correctly (laughing): It's Not "Selfishness". It's CELFishness. Every cell in the body is totally responsible for it's own survival and Happiness and once those needs and desires are met, the value is automatically passed on. Much like bending over backwards to share the food you made with someone that drops in at supper time. That, in my observation is a part of being Human as apposed to being Humanoid, (Human-Void).
That is not to say that anyone can't sacrifice what ever they want (so long as it does not harm others). That, just like free speech should be conserved as a right and not a requirement>

As much as I like Trump, Thoritsu's right.
This just reopens a can of worms again.

LMAO!

Hmmm, I'll have to give that a try!

😂. Several chuckles to start the year!

I’ve got to read 1984 again. Orwell is a concise version of Ms. Rand.

One can be both conservative and libertarian without being Objectivist. Donway's essay outlines Ayn Rand's moral case for capitalism succinctly. For a more complete treatment of the moral case for capitalism, I recommend dbhalling's Pendulum of Justice (https://www.amazon.com/Pendulum-Justi.... It makes me realize how long it has been since we saw dbhalling and khalling in the Gulch.

Trump 28 doesn't have to be Don Sr. Wouldn't it be ironic if the first female president was Ivanka?

Kayfabe.

Those two words "paralyzing stupidity" do a fine job of expressing word economy. It is sad to think that so many elected / installed bureaucrats can be characterized by those words.
Just a spoonful of sprinkles help the feces go down, in the most delightful way.
Thank you OUC. And wishing all readers well on what should be an interesting year.

Many probably are genetically incapable of Mindful introspection.
That observation caused me to write: The Fight for Conscious Human Life . . .

Eggnog is a lot like pancake batter.

That would be worth the waist of sweet atop of it.

IFF the states were ever to get together - is there any limit as to the money that would be spent or the articles of the constitution that would be brought?

There would be so much money from all over the world - just thinking about all of the monies that would be brought to bear to bring down the only country/system/compassion that has brought more of the WORLD out of poverty than any other...

And that is what so many of them want.. We need to keep our constitution intact (and keep the jackass's hands off of it) and I for one am very concerned that if there ever was a constitutional convention it would end up ... badly

So what do all think that the Jackass's will learn from the next few years? Or are they beyond learning (or as they say in MN learing)?

I agree, and If it aint broken, don't try to fix it. I do my politics in jesture, in fun, especially since the politicians have destryed everything about it. But for real, I agree too on Term Liimits for con-gress.

Thanks!

I owe you dinner dear!

R I G H T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JFC, knock it off. This is EXACTLY the kind of line of thinking that fuels arguments about MAGA totalitarianism. They are the totalitarians. Give them no basis for their Trump 3rd term argument.

No, because he is incapable of being second fiddle.
I'm not sure he is qualified since he can not perform in the Presidents stead, or if the progression would just skip over him to the speaker of the house. You really want Corey Booker to take over? Perhaps another, get your head out of... moment.
Trump. Do your second term. Then go home, relax and M A Y B E help from the sidelines.

Exactly, and I might even hope they (the left) get an opportunity to do so, go berserk, and further prove thier worthlessness..

The left's argument if in favor of Trump would be, "It's only FAIR that Trump can run for VP. After all, Vance has held a term as VP and still has the opportunity to run for two more terms as president. Why should the sequence have any say?" I guess they could also say that Trump can not run for Congress, he might make Speaker some day, third in line for an office he can't hold.

Too funny! What a way to start the new year! Still snorting tea out of my nose after the sprinkles, and sharing a bunch with the friends and relatives who are still in contact with me🤣

Term limits for presidents are fine as they are. Term limits for con-gress need to be put in place asap. This country won't survive midterm Democrat takeovers much longer, if at all.
