The United States is a Third World Country

Posted by Mitch45 on Wed May 18 11:27:55 2022

Look at the evidence.

1) Goods needed by the general public on a daily basis are either sky-high in price or not available at all.

2) High inflation with either no will or no ability to alleviate by the party controlling the government (the Democrats control the three houses of Congress, hence they are controlling the government.) Prices are so high that money is becoming worthless. $200 worth of groceries will maybe last a family of five for one week.

3) A biased media in bed with the party controlling the government, providing cover for virtually every aspect of obvious malfeasance and corruption.

4) Mob rule over the Courts, threatening the safety and welfare of judges who do not agree with the views of the mob. Fear of mob violence intimidating free speech.

5) General disdain for the rule of law.

1. Like they are in other parts of the world. So how does this make the United States part of the Third World? In any case, the US is by definition part of the First World, regardless of how shitty conditions might become.

2. Just like in the rest of the First World. I’ll grant you that inflation here is worse thanks to higher government stimulus than in Europe. Given that the stimulus has exacerbated inflation, what on Earth do you think the government ought to do?

And Democrats don’t really control the Senate, Joe Manchin does.

3. LOL!

4. LOL!

5. WTF?

4. Chuck Schumer points out that people have been protesting outside his home for years. Did you object to that?

When I go to a store about half mile away, the shortest route directly passes an abortion clinic. That clinic needs a ARMED guard present whenever it's open. The Supreme Court has ruled the protests there are legal. So it looks like they disagree with you about the right to peaceful protest.

SCOTUS ruled that people can protest outside the HOMES of abortion providers. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

No he is not wrong. He is fully aware that 18 USC §1507 exists, but believes it should be declared unconstitutional in part because the Supreme Court has said protesting outside other people's homes is acceptable.

Yes, why should it be allowed to demonstrate in front of Schumer's house* but not in front of Alito's?

Violence and threats are obviously not allowed and the protest must not cause risk to the safety of the occupant. But peaceful protests - what's the difference?

* And also Biden's.

People other than judges don't issue trial decisions that may be swayed by protestors.

What kind of incompetent judge would be swayed by peaceful protestors? (Sure, if their families' lives were threatened they might be swayed, but that's obviously a serious crime.)

Senators vote on matters of massive consequence as well.

And finally, who says the protestors have the intent to influence the judges' decisions? Perhaps they are trying to influence the public and legislatures in their future votes. Protesting in front of a jsuge's home is a good way to get heard on the news media.

Maybe the person(s) who wrote that into law? Why else would they be there? Whether or not they are successful is besides the point.

O finally see the wisdom of the bidenistas. If they destroy the middle class and put 80% of the population into poverty then there will be no incentive for the rest of the world to emigrate here.

no.

NYC is still the greatest city on the planet.

Queens the greatest county on Earth.

The food. The people. Elevated rail lines. Abandoned rail lines. The women at Woodhaven House.

Nope. The law says the protestor must have intent. So that's an item that has to be proved in court, not an automatic assumption.

Proved in court for conviction. For arrest all you need is probable cause.

OK, fine.

I suppose you can get probable cause of intent from what a protestor is shouting. But I would suggest that someone shouting "F you, Alito" is not actually showing probable cause that they are trying to influence Alito's decision.
