Well, the good news is, this may save a few Gen Z idiots’ lives, if they are unable to participate in the “Tide Pod Challenge.”

I weep for America. We are going to have to go through a HUGE process of correction and restoration. It’s going to be bloody and awful before we reclaim our freedom and our Republic.

RE: reclaiming our Republic....

One glimmer of hope I have is that common people casually expect freedom and independence even if they vote Dem. They don’t like it being taken away.

During the 1967 Detroit Riots a friend of my mother was used to crossing from the suburbs onto the Detroit side of the boulevard Eight Mile Road to go to a liquor store and then turn around to go back. Cops stopped him. He said “I’m just going here and then going back to the other side after I buy some stuff at this store.” They harshly told him to get out now. “Hey, fellas, I’m not a rioter. I’m just a regular guy.” He smiled. Two more police came over and pointed weapons in his face and didn’t return his smile. He left, shaking.
“They knew I’m not a threat to anybody. I’m just a normal person, not a rioter.”
After that he was resentful of police authority.

That's not to say that we will. Civilizations do fall - either to outside invaders, or to their own decadence. We're succumbing to both.

When I read years ago about Bloomberg’s attempt to ban the Big Gulp, I never dreamed it would lead to banning gulping down Tide Pods.
