“Clip taken from DarkHorse Podcast Livestream #94 (originally streamed live on August 28, 2021)”

One of the biggest problems I have with conservatives, is that so many of them have a worldview which sets themselves up as “proper authorities” to lord over everybody else…and as such, they wont leave everybody else the hell alone…constantly creeping into and threatening the private lives of millions of people.

One of the biggest problems I have with progressives, is that so many of them hold fanatical contempt towards the basic rights and freedoms, of those they judge “not on their team”…You’ve heard the term “Democracy is one sheep and two wolves voting on what’s for dinner”?…Well…Many progressives are the type of wolves, who will band together, vote away and deny the voices and participation of people they don’t like, and dance on the graves of said people once they’ve been banished from “the polite society of the beautiful people”.

I cannot stand the notion of either of these extremes being in power…even if I do share some common social goals, which they claim to fight for.

We need a humane, balanced system, that loves and respects the people…all of the people…all of the time.

“The Supreme Court has upheld Texas’s controversial abortion ban–at least for now. And by upheld, that means it didn’t block it from taking effect. The aftermath of Hurricane Ida hasn’t been pretty—it’s left behind death, destruction, and massive power outages that are affecting hundreds of thousands of people.”

“This video answers the question: Can the dark triad traits be detected in someone’s face?
The dark triad comprises three traits that can appear together and they’re usually subclinical, meaning they don’t have anything to do with mental health treatment or psychopathology. the three traits are psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism. With all three of these traits we see manipulation of different types and then specifically with psychopathy, we see traits like being callous/unemotional, pathological lying, and having a lack of empathy, remorse, or guilt. Narcissism has arrogance, a sense of entitlement, being envious, having fantasies of success and power, feeling special or unique, and it also has a lack of empathy component. With Machiavellianism, we see someone who’s ruthless, has a cynical view, and disregards conventional morality. There’s quite a bit of overlap between these dark triad traits.

“Jacob Anthony Chansley, who has been known as the “QAnon Shaman,” has plead guilty in a federal court for a charge of obstructing congressional proceedings during the Capitol riot on January 6.”

“QAnon Shaman” REJECTS Conspiracy In DESPERATE Plea Deal:

“Jacob Chansley, also known as the “QAnon Shaman,” has entered into a plea deal with prosecutors regarding the charges against him for his alleged actions during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Chansley’s unusual appearance during the insurrection — shirtless, wearing face paint, a fur hat with large horns, carrying a spear — made him somewhat of an unintentional mascot for the day’s events, with the Getty Images photograph at the top of this article among the many viral images of Chansley inside the Capitol complex.
