    Did Nancy Pelosi sell her stock as well, or did she not?

    Don't forget that the Dem Party senate darling Diane Feinstein also did the same thing; so save a little bit of that political lynching rope for her neck as well.

    I suspect more Senators/representatives did the same, but just aren't reported. It's time for a full audit of Congress. Like with auditing the Fed. The racketeer criminals call themselves our politicians.

    Well, great! Lock her up too!

    Although she does have an actual, legal blind trust, unlike the utterly fake and fraudulent "blind trust" handled by Trump's kids and checked over by Trump himself every month (by his own admission!)!

    But let's check them all out, and lock them up!

    Oh? Trump and Republicans have no time for that? Yeah, we'll wait.....

    Yes, in 96 hours, over what has a high probability of being a staged event.

    Of course civilization is a thin veneer; with great effort it took so long to bake it, and we'll never have the recipe again.

    It is a Universally Accepted FACT, that Trump's Election as President (with his Politics of Division) has thoroughly destroyed any vestige of "Social Fabric" or "Civility".

    ^That is a Given (and Indisputable).

    As far as Toilet Paper?
    It has been like that for about a week here (already).

    Multiple "Cart Rage" incidents (much worse than an Old School.Black Friday).

    They tried limit people to One Multi-Pack (sized between 12 and 24 Rolls).

    So entire families (8 or more) show up at opening time (and as soon as the doors open) and they run to the back like it was Black Friday 2013.

    Many stores are now putting toilet paper behind the counter at the service desk, to ration supply and prevent hoarding.

    And of course, as is already a well-known phenomena, many of the hoarders are trading toilet paper for sex.

    But yes, insane for sure.

    Welcome to Trump's America.:smh:

    Thanks Alot,Trump!

    This is you believing that your opinions validate what is and isnt civilised. The height of arrogance. As if your agenda is the factual datum for which civilization is to be judged.

    Get over yourself

    Do you want me to believe that institutionalized torture is a sign of civility? That punishing the innocent by way of sanctions is civilized?

    I don't know if you're arrogant or not, but you're sure as hell not civilized if advocate and support the belligerent behavior of your elected officials.

    Exactly what so-called "wiping away of human rights" is being referred to? Explain such.

    Sadly, you are probably correct.

    But I think that I would probably prefer straightforward barbarity to a pretend civilization.

    (The former, at least, contains the virtue of honesty, rather than the--quite serious--vice of dishonor...)

    As usual, the left finds a way to blame President Trump for just about anything...

    You definition of torture, innocence, etc. Are subjective terms not founded in the reality of facts but rather opinions. It would benefit you to understand the difference.

    I'm a natural born killer. But my mother reigned me in, then the traditions and rules inculcated into me in grade school got me under control, and that continued in high school, then I was drafted and the killer in me was encouraged and let loose. It was just so very easy.

    Then I came back to the world and sought religion for the first time, and that was inculcated into me and reigned me in.

    But yeah, sometimes I am almost overwhelmed by the mechanistic animal in me and by the desire to go berserk and shed blood and kill for the sheer joy of it. Hunting animals cannot give you joy like that.

    It's in everyone, but they are afraid to acknowledge it.

    I accept that quarantine measures are a rational way to contain, or attempt to contain, infectious disease. Mankind has practiced that since early times.

    IMO we are rather over-doing it in this case, but maybe I'm wrong. With no meaningful testing systems available, we are and have been shooting in the dark.

    Constitutional rights, if you consider them human rights, have been suppressed by way of USA Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act and other illegitimate legislation since the War On Terror was delivered to us by our leaders. Anthrax biowarfare was instrumental in delivering those.

    It is you who are in denial sir. If someone denied your sleep, would you object? In my town, disturbing the peace is a crime.

    You can trick yourself into believing that torture is good, but when it happens to you things will change.

    You are able to rationalize torture as good. I cannot. You can live in a state of denial, believing your government does no harm and only good. I cannot.
