[00:25] IsambardPrince Starting in 2020 I think. [00:25] IsambardPrince They're still trying to further restrict FOID cards, and they don't seem to understand what sort of danger our State is in. We have a hostile federal government that's threatening us in court. We have an Indiana government next door doing weird and creepy stuff like threatening to just "take" 35 of our counties away. [00:25] IsambardPrince They claim there's some sort of legal process for that, there's not going to be any legal process, but I am somewhat concerned that Trump and Braun could try to invade and topple the State and hand it over to Indiana. It probably won't happen for a while, but it's disturbing they're even talking about the "taking" of part of a State. [00:25] IsambardPrince This is basically Putin's tactics. He invaded Ukraine, claimed that part of it was "Russia anyway and here's a bunch of alternative history supporting that", and they've been at war for years now. [00:25] IsambardPrince I don't want this to end in a Constitutional Crisis where the Illinois National Guard is getting conflicting orders to either arrest Governor Pritzker or defend us from an incursion. [00:25] IsambardPrince I know it sounds crazy and paranoid, but given how many really strange things are happening I would not put it in the "completely impossible" category. [00:25] IsambardPrince And I just don't know why the State of Illinois is getting in the way of citizens arming themselves to defend themselves and the State if we get there. The State Constitution literally says it's the right of Citizens to bear arms for the security of themselves "and the defense of the State". [00:25] IsambardPrince Certainly I do not want a fight but there are reasons why oaths include "from all enemies foreign and domestic". An invasion would mean we have "an enemy from within"." [00:27] IsambardPrince Some States have a "State Defense Force". It's typically a volunteer thing. I think we definitely should be considering at least that.

[02:22] *x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) [02:22] IsambardPrince MinceR, The National Guard Act and the State Constitution and the US Constitution say that the Governor can declare an invasion, insurrection, or rebellion, and declare martial law and use the military forces of the State to put it down. [02:23] IsambardPrince So in theory if Indiana did try to invade, we could legally declare war on Indiana and repel the invasion. [02:23] IsambardPrince The Constitution is silent on what "declare war" when a State is "being invaded" means. [02:23] IsambardPrince So if Indiana did invade, we could declare war on another State. [02:24] MinceR extern int war; [02:24] IsambardPrince Because the Constitution has no language in it that says anything about one State invading. It just says States can't declare war except when there is an "invasion".

[02:33] IsambardPrince I'm hearing too many stories about people saying "I voted for him but I didn't think I would suffer too!", to offer an unqualified statement of sympathy. [02:33] IsambardPrince Voting for Trump as a US citizen spouse of an immigrant is the worst thing you can do as a spouse other than beating them, in my opinion.

[22:22] ZedHedTed also, protein milk is really filling when you mix it yourself. [22:24] *lxo has quit (Quit: later) [22:52] psydruid I hope he got one with more RAM [22:52] psydruid but yeah, Orange Pi RV2 comes with 8 GB of RAM max [22:52] psydruid for less than 60 [22:53] *oarion7 has quit (Quit: Running IRC on a charmed medieval abacus.) [22:53] psydruid so you must really be an Apple fan to spend so much money for merely 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage [22:54] MinceR i'm not sure if crApple fans have a concept of what RAM or storage are [22:54] ZedHedTed the screens on the M1 airs are kind of fragile too [22:54] *IsambardPrince (~isambardprince@ggq4vsky9tccu.irc) has joined #techrights [22:54] MinceR it has the logo, and that's enough for them [22:54] ZedHedTed apple, my favorite fashion brand :P [22:54] MinceR this is also why crApple's bullshit about 8GB RAM being enough was accepted by them [22:54] MinceR yeah [22:58] IsambardPrince The judge is already getting pissed. If it was me, I'd have ordered the court officers to throw the DOJ lawyers in prison on contempt of court until such time as they felt like answering my questions, and set a $5,000 per day civil contempt fine. [22:58] IsambardPrince The DOJ has no role on contempt charges. The judge issues them and decides immediately whether you are in contempt. When you flout a court order, mock the judge, and refuse to answer questions and say "What will you do about it?" [22:58] IsambardPrince The answer is "You're in contempt!" "Take him away!" [22:59] *lxo (~lxo@zj26zv4kdh4g2.irc) has joined #techrights [22:59] IsambardPrince The judge can put them in prison for 6 months or until they agree to answer questions, and there's no limit on the fines. ● Mar 17 [23:01] IsambardPrince I wish I was a judge. "I hear one more thing out of your mouth that isn't 'YES SIR I UNDERSTAND!' and you're going to prison! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!?" [23:04] IsambardPrince MinceR, "If it was up to me, and I was not bound by the strictures the law, we would reach back into a time of a purer, sterner form of justice and have you BURNED AT THE STAKE!!!" [23:04] IsambardPrince :) [23:04] IsambardPrince I loved that movie.

[23:39] IsambardPrince "The Trouble With Teslas" [23:39] IsambardPrince I decided to play on the Star Trek episode "The Trouble With Tribbles". [23:40] IsambardPrince Practically the only thing Tribbles do is eat all the food and multiply. They're a nuisance and eventually they become such a huge pest that even though all they do is sit there and coo, people will do most anything to try to exterminate them.

The place crawls with Nazis. Most are cops. They're scum. [23:59] IsambardPrince Over 70% of the ICE 287(g) agreements are either in Florida or Texas. [23:59] IsambardPrince I just wouldn't go to a State that hates immigrants that much even if you have a Green Card. [23:59] IsambardPrince You can tell how hostile a State is to immigrants by looking at how many locals participate in 287(g). It's a proxy for anti-immigrant sentiment in law enforcement, which is a reflection of the voters (elected Sheriffs). [23:59] IsambardPrince The safest States are the ones that have opted out via State law."
