Sent that out to PF.

was told 'ooh guns; so scary.'

well ya know, my 78 yo step mother, uncles, aunts, in laws are from the hills in Carter county. A group of folks with guns comes up to them, being scary enough for her to call police. hell yeah i'm scared. vigilantes.

Pray for this Nation and our volunteers.

Don't care a bit that they are armed. I'm armed. I care that the climate is so politicized that a single X posting can become the seed of a mob (armed or not), particularly since it's well-established that disinfo ops from unfriendly foreign nations are intent on sowing division. When the perceived threat becomes real enough (que: "It's real to me!!") to justify violence, then violence will happen. The rhetoric is becoming angrier by the day and eventually somebody is gonna flinch.

As a well-armed conservative I've been guilty of joking that we'd win easily, but the truth is that America doesn't win when Americans shoot Americans.

Guns just raise the stakes. An angry nut job without a gun is a fist fight. Same crazy nut job with a gun is a lot more serious. We’ve always had a lot of guns, but it seems like the number of people thinking about using them against their countrymen has increased a ton. Like you said, it’s not a good mix.

Has anyone viewed any statements by FEMA if you lost your house during the flooding they will pay your rent for 18 months at another home?🤔

Yes.

The hole, originally meant to be to China, needed reinforced. So, the Insitutia por los Thinking engineered those steel buckets of dirt. Looks like they're replacing older buckets, with newer lighter material. Cannot have that grassy area to left burdened by a sudden movement or shift in other dirt.

That's some very deep thinking. May be over my head but I'll entertain it given I have no other answers.
