    I got as far as Sean Spicer's song and dance show and had to stop reading due to a coughing fit.

    I was only joking

      There should be no federal, state or local involvement here. We must let the social experiment play out.

      Yes, but without water, sewer, electricity provided free of charge to a foreign country. I do not approve of supplying them portable toilets, water or food. You want independence? You got it. Let them sit in their own filth.

      Just don't go in with force. Worst possible idea.

          And that argument scales up with respect to states that want to secede from the union - Texas, California and others come to mind.

            This whole “let it play our” scenario forgets about the folks that lived there before all this and want nothing to do with it. They are deserving of protection by their elected officials.

                Scott Adams (paraphrased):

                You know the first thing they learned? "We need a police force."

                The second thing they learned? "We need a border."

                The third thing they learned? "Hey, food would be nice."

                They are re-creating all the systems they oppose.

                I tried to get my house declared an independent free zone, and I applied to the United Nations. Sadly, "Scottland" was already taken.

                  I would invite anybody to go down the list of progressive people you know and try to think of a single one who at this moment, if part of a city had been taken over in an armed insurrection by a right-leaning group, would not be absolutely losing their mind. (Meanwhile, conservatives appear to be watching this with vague amusement.)

                  Education is extremely important.

                    The conservatives remember Woodstock.

                    They know how stupid these people are going to look.

                      I say just dig a large pit and dangle a Birkenstock, flute, and a joint over it. Problem solved.

                            We are so much more racist than we were 10-15 years ago and it’s getting worse, just not in the way these fools think.
