The Emoluments Clause Explained


And BTW, if you support Trump you are either profoundly stupid or profoundly evil. Trump's 666 connections are many. Since most Trump supporters live in the Bible belt and are Baptists it is a proven fact that Trump supporters are evil incarnate. It is no coincidence that the Baptist Hymnal contains exactly 666 hymns. 



There is no getting around it. We patriots know that you Trump supporter are pretty fucking stupid but you are not so stupid that you don't know that in addition to Trump being a traitor and a liar, Trump is also a criminal. 

Watch this video because if you don't my karma will send you a deadly and agonizing form of rectal cancer. 

It is not too late to save yourselves. Call your piece of shit Republican CONgressman and tell that bribe taking pedophile to stand up for America by ridding us of Trump and the rest of his traitorous trash. 

But in the grand scheme of things, it would be better if you pieces of shit simply dropped dead because you are bad for everything. Yep, that's right. You low life scum have absolutely no redeeming value. Some people are just no damn good and goes for Trump supporters. Even your bodies are toxic and the vultures and worms would probably not feed on your rotting corpses. About the only use I can think of for you uncouth slime bags is to load you out on cargo planes and drop your dead bodies on the Kremlin.

The Moral of the Story



Mungo is a living example to the old saying, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." Mungo's real name is Mongkut Munger. Mongkut Munger is the toughest son of a bitch I've ever known. During his high school days Mungo was respected and feared but it didn't start out that way. Mungo was Thia descent. He stood 5'5" tall and he weighed 135 lbs soaking wet. Mungo was a Muay Thia fighter in Thialand who started at the age of 7. When Mungo was 15 his parents were killed in a car accident. They were workers and the US embassy. Mungo was then adopted by an American family who was stationed at the embassy. Mungo's father was a US Marine and security chief there. Mungo's parents the Kitsuwans were close friends with the Mungers. It was there final wish that Mungo be adopted by the Mungers and so it came to be.

There were a lot of bigots in my high school as the county was a Republican stronghold. Not only was Mungo short and Asian, he was also dark complected. They may as well just put a sign on his back that read,"KICK ME." For several months some of the asshole jocks and the popular kids were giving Mungo shit. He was being bullied but his Buddhist training would not allow him to throw a punch in anger. So the bullying continued. The nerds and the artsy kids liked Mungo and they were very welcoming to him but like everyone else, they did not know that Mungo was a skilled fighter.

Kids raised in Republican families are usually assholes and bullies. This was no exception at our school. They often had asshole privilege.

Mungo was friends with a hearing impaired boy named Dominick. Dominick was also picked on by the assholes. Dominick is a skilled and sought after graphic artist today.

During a class change at 3rd period Mungo witnessed some football jocks picking on Dominick. They had him cornered on the 2nd floor landing and they were roughing him up. Mungo and I intervened. The biggest jock focused on Mungo. BIG MISTAKE.  As soon as he his hands on Mungo Mungo attacked with a kick square in the punk's chest. which sent him down the flight of stairs.  Another jock attacked after seeing his jock buddy out cold on the floor and received a knee in the balls for it. I was in awe. Some of the girls clapped. The other two jocks took off running.

After they had licked their wounds, one of them decided to try Mungo again in a more formal fight after school on the soccer field. Mungo tried bowing out of the fight but we talked him into showing up for the fight. Mungo was fearless and the jocks were foolish. The thought Mungo got lucky the first time. They still didn't know what they are up against.

Three camps arrived at the soccer field - the jocks' camp, our camp and some kids that just wanted see a fight. Mungo was up against a kid who was 6'3" tall 225 lbs and full of steroids.  About a second after they squared off Mungo unleashed a powerful leg kick to the jock's knee joint and then smiled and said, "Big target!" The jock was hurting. He took a wild swing at Mungo and missed wildly. Mungo countered with a step in right hook which broke the jock's nose. There was blood everywhere. Mungo said, "You're too slow."

One of the other jock shouted, "Tackle that gook!" but Mungo was too quick and the jock reeling from the busted nose and the slightly dislocated knee, missed the tackle badly. Mung then said, "Stay down fool." The fool did not stay down and as he was getting up Mungo gave him a kick to the head and knocked him out.

Mungo then said to the other jocks, "Who's next?" and when none of them stepped forward Mungo shouted, "Cowards!" Show the grace and humility common among Thais, Mungo checked on his badly defeated foe while he was regaining consciousness. Mungo told the punk that he had taken it easy on him and that he would be wise to have his jock buddies to stop fucking with our friends.

The jock spent two days in the hospital for a concussion. He showed up to school on Monday with with two black eyes, and wearing a knee brace.  Mungo was arrested for assault and released to his parents. It turns out that the jock's uncle was an assistant DA. At the preliminary hearing the judge threw out the case because they were both minors and it was mutual combat. We later found out that one of our teachers had filled the judge in what an asshole the jock and his jock buddies had been to Mungo and his friends. The judge looked at the charges and the photos of the jock. Then he looked at 5'5" Mungo and then the 6'3" jock. The judge asked the prosecutor, "Are you saying that little fella did all that damage to this big lug in a fair fight. It looks to me like justice was done." and before the prosecutor could utter word the judge said, "Case dismissed. And don't clutter my court with anything like this again."

The Moral Of The Story

Don't take shit from anyone and the only surefire way to stop a punk and a bully is by beating the shit out of them.

Corporate gangs are comprised of shameless amoral and immoral punks and bullies who will never do the right thing out of a sense of morality.  You can't shame the shameless but you can keep them in fear by shining the light of day on them and that will keep them in a virtual prison. The more the truth is known about corporate gangsters the more fearful they will become.

We need to think of legal ways on how to take these bastards down. I say this because I am lawful good, but if you are chaotic good I will not force my type of morality on to you.

Flag Desecration: The Blue Line Flag

See the source image

Citizens have the right to desecrate the American flag but the real question is, do government agencies have the right to desecrate the American flag? I don't like it when anyone desecrates old glory but I respect their right to do it. There was a time when American police proudly displayed old glory in the shoulders of their uniforms.  That has changed. 

See the source image

This flag is unAmerican, tyrannical and treasonous. It does not belong in America. It should not be displayed by any governmental agency. 

The Supreme Court has found laws banning desecration of the American flag to be unconstitutional. The court ruled that it falls under the First Amendment protection of free speech in the Constitution. Despite this, the majority of states continue to have desecration laws on the books. 

What State Laws on Flag Desecration Include

State laws vary though in some form they deal with the misuse, abuse, and desecration of flags. It extends beyond the American flag to include state flags and, in some states, the as well as the treasonous Confederate flag.
Though they vary, the laws prohibit defiling, defacing, casting contempt upon, and sometimes even satirizing these flags. Most laws specify actions, but some criminalize words as well. A few include other venerated objects in their protections.
You will even find many state laws that prohibit the use of the image of the American flag. In most cases, these refer to commercial products such as a law in Maryland that has since been removed. Others, like that in Alaska, have banned trademark registrations that disparage national symbols.

Are State Laws Enforceable?

The 1989 Supreme Court case, Texas v. Johnson put flag desecration to the test. It was through this dispute over flag burning that laws banning desecration of the flag were found to be unconstitutional. This was backed up a year later in United States v. Eichman. Since that time, the state laws have, essentially, been void.
However, numerous people have been arrested in the years since for violating one of the states' laws. In most cases, the charges were dropped as prosecutors familiar with constitutional law realize that they are impossible to prosecute.
While you can be arrested for burning or otherwise desecrating the flag, it is unlikely that the charges will stand. And yet, it should also be noted that any other results from that action may result in other criminal charges. 

Why Do the States Still Have These Laws?

If the state flag desecration laws are illegal, then why are they not removed? It is a good question which many asked once again when then-President-elect Donald Trump mentioned punishing flag burners on Twitter in November 2016.
The ABC News article regarding this issue brings up a logical point. In it, writers James King and Geneva Sands point out that removing desecration laws is not popular, despite their conflict with the Constitution. Many state lawmakers find it difficult to even approach the issue in their respective legislatures and with their constituents. Many choose to simply ignore the matter.

A Finer Look at State Flag Desecration Laws

Again, states vary greatly in their flag desecration laws. It's also likely that some of these points may become obsolete in the near future. However, it's important to understand what may be part of these laws and the reasoning behind them.
Publicity. It's rarely a crime to deface, burn, or desecrate an American flag if you do so in the privacy of your home. It's only a crime to do it in public or take a flag so altered and display it in public. If the crime is the action, though, why does it have to be public? This suggests that the law exists to protect people's sensibilities rather than flags.
Outraged Sensibilities. Many laws specify that a crime only occurs if the action outrages the sensibilities of those who see or even merely learn of it. Desecrating a flag is not a crime in and of itself; it only becomes a crime when people get upset. Once again, the purpose appears to be protecting people's feelings.
Intent. Most state laws specify that flag desecration is only a crime if the person intentionally or knowingly does it. If the point is to protect flags, however, why aren't there provisions for a lesser charge of negligence?
Perhaps it's because the point is to suppress the communication of ideas. This is something that occurs when one intentionally defaces a flag but doesn't occur when one accidentally defaces a flag.
Casting Contempt. The clearest evidence that the point of a law is to suppress speech is when the crime is to "cast contempt" or otherwise "insult" the flag. In this case, the defacing or defiling are merely examples of how the crime might occur.
As the Supreme Court stated in Smith v Goguen, however, to treat something contemptuously means to express contempt. That is undeniably the expression of attitudes or ideas which are protected by the Constitution.
By Word or Act. The most extreme examples of suppressing speech are those state laws which explicitly ban casting contempt on the flag "by word" as well as "by act."
States which do or have done this include Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada (which additionally makes it a crime to speak "evilly" about the flag), New Mexico (which prohibits insulting the flag), New York, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Vermont. 
Any Part of the Flag. Most states define "flag" very broadly to include any part of a flag. It may also include any representation of a flag or anything which anyone might immediately perceive as a flag. So burning a piece of a flag or a picture of a flag would also be crimes.
Venerated Objects. A couple of states connect the protection of flags with more general protections for religious objects. In Kentucky, for example, the desecration of flags is found alongside desecration of churches and "venerated objects."
In the case of Alabama, flag burning is classified with cross burning. Both are illegal if the intent is to intimidate another person.
Advertisements. In some states, the use of flags for advertising is also banned. This makes it illegal to sell things with flags on them (for the purpose of drawing attention) or to put ads on flags themselves. 
Personal Property: Most state laws make no distinction between personal property and the property of others. Some that do say that it doesn't matter if the flag is personal property — desecration is still a crime. Kansas and New Hampshire have banned desecration just in the context of flags that a person doesn't own.
Felony vs. Misdemeanor. In most cases, flag desecration is considered only a misdemeanor. Yet, in a state like Illinois, flag desecration is a felony. Wisconsin used to make it a felony, but the entire provision on flag desecration was struck down in 1998. 
Inciting of Violence. A few states limit the crime of flag desecration to those cases where the act might incite violence in others. This appears to acknowledge that people have a free speech right to burn or deface the flag, but then makes the person a criminal if others get so upset that they act violently in response.

Confederate Flags. Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina have all protected Confederate flags on an equal basis with American and state flags. Thus, burning a Confederate flag is the same crime as burning an American flag.

Why should I use DuckDuckGo instead of Google?

See the source image
The Guillotine: Striking fear in the black hearts of the filthy rich for centuries.


If I were king of the world a lot of sleazy bastards would be thrown into dungeons, anti-trust laws would be strictly enforced and liars would be tortured to death. One of the sleaziest bastard corporations is Google. Google has been fined in the EU for its chronic criminal behavior. Unfortunately fine don't work on corporate gangsters because the fines are not paid by the gangsters breaking the law. Gangsters are not motivated by honor. Gangsters are motivated by fear.



Why should I use DuckDuckGo instead of Google?

100+ Answers

Gabriel Weinberg, CEO & Founder at DuckDuckGo (2008-present)


#1 — Google tracks you. We don’t.
You share your most intimate secrets with your search engine without even thinking: medical, financial and personal issues, along with all the day to day things that make you, well, you. All of that personal information should be private, but on Google it’s not. On Google, your searches are tracked, mined, and packaged up into a data profile for advertisers to follow you around the Internet through those intrusive and annoying ever-present banner ads, using Google’s massive ad networks, embedded across millions of sites and apps.
In fact, it’s a myth that you need to track people to make money in web search. When you search ‘car’ we can show you a car ad without knowing anything about you. That’s how we make money and it doesn't involve tracking because it is based on the keyword and not the person. Google could do this too; they just choose not to— all that tracking is to power their ad networks so that ads can follow you around the Internet using your search history and other information they have on you.
So-called incognito mode won’t protect you either. That’s another myth. “Incognito” mode isn’t really incognito at all. It’s an extremely misleading name and in my opinion should be changed. All it does is delete your local browsing history after your session on your device, but does nothing from stopping any website you visit, including Google, from tracking you via your IP address and other tracking mechanisms like browser fingerprinting. Here’s the fine print:
To keep your searches private and out of data profiles, the government, and other legal requests, you need to use DuckDuckGo. We don’t track you at all, regardless what browsing mode you are in.
Each time you search on DuckDuckGo, it’s as if you’ve never been there before. We simply don’t store anything that can tie your searches to you personally, or even tie them together into a search history that could later be tied back to you. For more details, check out our privacy policy.
#2 — Block Google trackers lurking everywhere.
Google tracks you on more than just their search engine. You may realize they also track you on YouTube, Gmail, Chrome, Android, Gmaps, and all the other services they run. For those, we recommend using private alternatives like DuckDuckGo for search. Yes, you can live Google-free. I’ve been doing it for many years.
What you may not realize, though, is Google trackers are actually lurking behind the scenes on 75% of the top million websites. To give you a sense of how large that is, Facebook is the next closest with 25%. It’s a good bet that any random site you land on the Internet will have a Google tracker hiding on it. Between the two of them, they are truly dominating online advertising, by some measures literally making up 74%+ of all its growth. A key component of how they have managed to do that is through all these hidden trackers.
Google Analytics is installed on most sites, tracking you behind the scenes, letting website owners know who is visiting their sites, but also feeding that information back to Google. Same for the ads themselves, with Google running three of the largest non-search ad networks installed on millions of sites and apps: Adsense, Admob, and DoubleClick.
You know those ads that creepily follow you around everywhere? Most of those are actually run through these Google ad networks, where they let advertisers target you against your search history, browsing history, location history and other personal information they collect. Even less well known is they also enable advertisers like airlines to charge you different prices based upon your personal information.
These ads are not only annoying — they are literally designed to manipulate you through targeting to make you buy more things, and just showing them to you is an act of Google profiting off of your personal information.
At DuckDuckGo, we’ve expanded beyond our roots in search, to protect you no matter where you go on the Internet. Our DuckDuckGo browser extension and mobile app is available for all major browsers and devices, and blocks these Google trackers, along with the ones from Facebook and countless other data brokers. It does even more to protect you as well like providing smarter encryption.
#3 — Get unbiased results, outside the Filter Bubble.
When you search, you expect unbiased results, but that’s not what you get on Google. On Google, you get results tailored to what they think you’re likely to click on, based on the data profile they’ve built on you over time from all that tracking I described above.
That may appear at first blush to be a good thing, but when most people say they want personalization in a search context they actually want localization. They want local weather and restaurants, which can actually be provided without tracking, like we do at DuckDuckGo. That’s because approximate location info is automatically embedded by your computer in the search request, which we can use to serve you local results and immediately throw away without tracking you.
Beyond localization, personalized results are dangerous because to show you results they think you’ll click on, they must filter results they think you’ll skip. That’s why it’s called the Filter Bubble.
So if you have political leanings one way or another, you’re more likely to get results you already agree with, and less likely to ever see opposing viewpoints. In the aggregate this leads to increased echo chambers that are significantly contributing to our increasingly polarized society.
This Filter Bubble is especially pernicious in a search context because you have the expectation that you’re seeing what others are seeing, that you’re seeing the “results.” We’ve done studies over the years where we have people search for the same topics on Google at the same time and in “Incognito” mode, and found they are significantly tailored.
On DuckDuckGo, we are committed to not putting you in the Filter Bubble. We don’t even force people into a local country index unless they explicitly opt-in.
#4 — We listen.
Google is notoriously hard to get a hold of. Locked out of your Gmail account? Sorry, we can’t help you. The Knowledge Graph says you’re dead? That’s unfortunate. Unless you’re a journalist or influencer of some kind, good luck getting anyone at Google to listen.
Meanwhile at DuckDuckGo we read every piece of feedback we get. We respond on social media. In short, we listen. My DMs are open and I read all the email sent to me personally. Feel free to reach out.
#5 — We don’t try to trap you in our “ecosystem.”
It used to be that you search on Google and then you click off to the top result. Over time, Google bought more and more companies and launched more and more of their own competing services, favoring them over others in their search results. Google Places instead of Yelp, TripAdvisor, etc. Google Products instead of Amazon, Target, etc. They’re in travel, health, and soon jobs. Anywhere there is money to be made, you can expect them to get into it eventually.
Even when you do click off, Google AMP tries to still trap you in Google. And these tactics are not just on the search engine.
On Android on many implementations there is immovable Google search widget and you can’t even change its search engine if you want to. By just installing it by default, this behavior is a direct analogue to Microsoft putting IE on Windows in the 1990s, but worse since it takes up more of the smaller screen. The same is true for other Google services on Android as well, forcing carriers to bundle and promote them. We personally have similar issues with Chrome search engine integration.
At DuckDuckGo, we aren’t trying to take over the world. We don’t have an “ecosystem” to trap you in. We just want to help you get to where you want to go as fast as possible, and protect you as much as we can in that process.
#6 — We have !bangs.
To further this point, we have a built-in feature called bangs that enables you to search other sites directly, completely skipping DuckDuckGo if you like (But remember, you’ll be subject to those other sites’ privacy policies, including their data collection practices). Here’s how it works. Let’s say you know you want to go to the Wikipedia article for ducks. You can just search for “!w duck” and we will take you right there.
The ! tells DuckDuckGo you want to use a bang shortcut, and the w is an abbreviation for Wikipedia. You can use the full name, though we have a lot of shortcuts such as !a for Amazon, !r for Reddit, etc. There are literally thousands of sites that this feature works with, and so most sites you think of will probably work. It also works with our autocomplete so you can see what’s there easily.
If you routinely search a particular site, like Stack Overflow for coding answers or Baseball Reference for stats or All Recipes for something to make, you can just go right there.
If DuckDuckGo is your default search engine, you can just type this right into your browser's address bar, and skip loading our search engine altogether. We will just route you to the right place!
#7 — We strive for a world where you have control over your personal information.
Our vision is to raise the standard of trust online. If you share this vision, supporting DuckDuckGo helps us make progress towards it. For the past seven years, we’ve been donating a substantial portion of our profits to organizations that also work towards the Internet we want — an open Internet where you can take control of your personal information.
We believe that privacy policies shouldn’t be default “collect it all," but instead offer a clear and compelling case as to what benefits you get by giving up your personal information. If you share this view for the future of data privacy, you can vote with your feet.
#8 — Our search results aren’t loaded up with ads.
For many Google searches, most of the entire first page is ads. On mobile it can be even worse.
Not so on DuckDuckGo. We keep ads to a minimum, and naturally they're non-tracking ads, based only on search keywords and not on a personal profile or search history. In fact, as stated above, it’s a myth that you need to track people to make money in web search. When you search ‘car’ we can show you a car ad without knowing anything about you, based on the keywords you type in.
#9 — Search without fear.
When people know they are being watched, they change their behavior. It's a well-documented behavior called the chilling effect, and it happens on Google. For example, an MIT study showed that people started doing fewer health searches on Google after the Snowden revelations, fearing that their personal ailments might get out.
“Suppressing health information searches potentially harms the health of search engine users and… In general, our results suggest that there is a chilling effect on search behavior from government surveillance on the Internet.”
Your searches are your business, and you should feel free to search whatever you want, whenever you want. You can easily escape this chilling effect on DuckDuckGo where you are anonymous.
#10 — Google is simply too big, and too powerful.
Google is GIANT, the epitome of Silicon Valley big tech, with a market cap of around 750 Billion dollars (at the time of writing), 75,000 employees, dominating search, browsing, online advertising, and more, with tentacles in everything tech, online and offline. Last year they outspent every other company on lobbying Washington.
By comparison, DuckDuckGo is tiny. We’re currently a team of about 45 people, scattered across the globe; I’m in Pennsylvania. We have a very narrow focus: helping you take control of your personal information online.
The world could use more competition, less focus on ad tracking, fewer eggs in one basket.
