Frontal lobe development is just then starting to complete.

This is a popular falsity that is intended to push back the age one is considered an adult.

In truth, the brain continues to develop for the entirety of a person's lifecycle; creating new pathways and severing old pathways continuously until the electro-chemical processes we call "life" cease.

Repeating braindead thoughts like the one quoted above, is the neurological equivalent to repeating the myth of swallowing spiders in our sleep.

FIFY:

Let's get this out of the way: He looks synthetic, vampire young, head up his own arse as he reads from a teleprompter. "When I'm President...,"admits California governor Gavin Newsom, "secret police, businesses raided, windows smashed, citizens detained, citizens shot, masked men snatching people in broad daylight...oh yeah, that's gonna feel so good to have that kind of power," his tone is desperately aroused, the words almost glistening with sweat drenching the State Capitol's Assembly chamber, a strange venue for his fantasies. “Lining the pockets of the rich; crony capitalism at an unimaginable scale,” he whispers raggedly. “Rolling back rights…. Rewriting history.” Newsom barely resists squeezing a nipple, seeming horny and angry. Seeming, yes, presidential. “None of this is normal.”

It probably grosses everyone out. Newsom: emaciated, impassioned, frenzied, a glimmer of Shinigami in his eye; Mr. Hyde-esque. Add to this his Harvey Weinstein wife and four passable kids, and the cocky strut of the nepo baby that spend a lifetime avoiding his own labor and outsourcing big, complex, and tedious thinking to others. Then there's the stuff that Newsom has been doing. Banning church services, flying down to Mexico after issuing a travel ban, Parrying video evidence of he and his friends partying maskless while arresting beachgoers. Those tweets, or whatever you call this verbal diarrhea, "CNN HATES THAT EVERYONE STILL DISLIKES ME DESPITE MY ALL OUT MEDIA BLITZ - NEVER CHECK MY DONOR LIST AND ALWAYS AVOID THE EARLY LIFE SECTIONS ON WIKIPEDIA!!!... THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. - GCN." There's a video that does the online rounds now and then, a shot of the governor on a black guy's podcast, slouching low. Terrbile posture, like Hey buddy, I eat mac n cheese like a brother. It has seemed at times, this past year, that the only thing standing between Gavin Newsom and likability is Gavin Newsom. He makes good mac n cheese: for real. Both a master of basketball, and in his own way, knows how to impress paid actors on a podcast.

The state of Minnesota says otherwise. Therefore it is a statutory tight and thus a privilege.

---

The State of Minnesota has no say in the matter by agreeing to abide by the U.S. Constitution in order to be granted admittance into the Union.

If you think it's "gotcha" to pay attention to language, then no wonder you don't understand law.

quote:

---

in that the privilege is a statutory right granted to an individual

---

And yet the Constitution labels it an inalienable right granted by the creator and intended to not be infringed... by like statutes or something.

I understand that these are complicated ideas, but you should be able to keep up.

They don't want to have to do this.

Actually, they do want it to be like this. They are amplifying the narrative. The brutality is a feature not a bug.

Governance is difficult, but there are good ways and bad ways to govern. When the people are ungovernable, then perhaps the government is doing something terribly wrong.

quote:

---

Agreed. And I'd imagine they're doing some of the things in the good government list.

---

They've done all of the things on the good government list and that's good and should be acknowledged as such.

I have to ask, are you against the government/law enforcement removing illegals from the country?

---

No, not at all. It's unfortunate that we've gotten to this point.
