It should be "no tyrants" rather than "no kings": Napoleon removed more than one king, replacing them with members of his own family.

The ICE gestapo is already following in the footsteps of the German "brownshirts" of the 1930's.

We entered the "sit down" phase in 2016, with a brief respite during Biden's term.

This is why all but one of our vehicles have been "pre-owned", and why we favor brands that tend to last. We drive a lot: Most of our vehicles have about 300,000 miles when we finally retire them.
