How to get people on their side: besiege and possibly kill them with Federal troops.

Well, Obama's term is almost up. So why not wait until after the next President is sworn in to bust them.
“We’re here for the natives,” he said. “The federal government has been their biggest oppressor.”
Then give them their shit note back!

i think on his last day Obama should sign an executive order declaring the Sovrign Citizens a terrorist organisation, one last give no shtis moment.
Obama after November could be fun, he won't even have the worry of keeping the part out of the mud, he could go wild.

If the Bundy lot continue on their current path I could see them going for big time terrorist attacks, IE Ds and everything.

When I type in "Jeb Bush is" on Google, the first four suggestions are "done", "toast", "weak" and "in trouble".
Is it wrong that I feel kinda sorry for him at this point? I mean, he's not someone I'd like to see as POTUS, but at the same time it's a bit sad how one of the few Republican candidates who's not a total asshole is getting so thoroughly shredded by what their party has become.
I love the comment "No More Shrubbery in the WH"
Can we make that a Hashtag? #No More Shrubbery

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.I turned off the Democratic debate after about an hour because it was getting boring. I've heard it all before, and this just seemed like everyone trying to get a word in edgewise and ignoring the format. No debate discipline at all. Frankly, I was disappointed.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"@Dr Dougsh There's a moment in the last R debate where Trump just randomly insults Jeb! out of nowhere, and he gives the most pathetic "oh come on man." with this hurt expression on his face. When I saw it in a highlights video I genuinely felt pity for the guy.

I'd like to see some more independent scoring of Bernie's healthcare plan, but I think it sounds workable on the face.
