I just want to know, are these flags made in the USA?
How are you going to double upvote any "Fuck Mcconnell by pardoning Assange" posts?
Once upon a time in Philadelphia, a crackhead followed me to my car. I got in the car and locked the doors. He stood behind my car, and tried to block me from leaving. Because I'm very willing to be frustrating, I pulled out my laptop for work, setup a hotspot, and started writing some code.
He came to the window, and yelled at me that I owed him money for the parking spot or something. At that point he was no longer behind my car, so I backed out of the space, drove out of the city, and I haven't been back since.
If anyone ever tells you white people can't be crackheads, I want to assure you: Hunter Biden is white.
The militia at the time was every man from 16 until he is too frail to be of service to his state (often the number 60 was put on this, but history is replete with counter examples). Arguably, children, women, and very old men aren't guaranteed the right to own guns.
At the signing of the constitution the only punishment for felony offense was death, so the idea that felons can have their gun ownership removed might be defensible. I've heard good arguments each way, but the extension of felony offense into everything and anything might end that debate by its practical effects.
Bearable arms must be able to be safely held, transported, and used by a single, healthy, trained male of fighting age. Elephant guns are questionable, mortars, artillery, WMDs, and bombs are out.
There is a pretty solid case for requiring training in gun use of the aforementioned militia, but only when required of the entire group. If Congress or the state wants to pay for nearly 40% of the population to go out and shoot targets until they're good at it, there may be nothing stopping them.
Guns can be taxed differently than other items, but probably only up to reasonable limits (which, given gas, cigarettes, and alcohol probably means they can double the price if they want to).
Finally, the regulation of interstate commerce might allow manufacturing, testing, or other standards to be applied to guns sold across state lines.
There's an awful lot they are allowed to do, but despite that they ran well past the line, and now we have to push to regain the ground lost (and more. Why should only the guns the Constitution requires be allowed? Our forefathers had cannons. That'd be dandy.).
All of the swamp wants him punished endlessly for revealing their crimes when the MSM wouldn't. He was a real journalist, and has paid dearly for that.
Given the number of people missing that it's packs of 100 in the comments, it's not implausible that the person ordering missed it too, and meant to get 250,000 forms. As they say, you cannot overestimate the incompetence of government.
160 years ago, an armed and organized group (hundreds of thousands strong) of men from Republican states marched into Democrat states, overthrew their governments, and ended racially aware policies that had stood to protect their institutions for nearly 100 years before that.
Also, there was a Proud Boy that was arrested for provoking a fist fight.
I wasn't deleted in this purge. Didn't have an account for them to delete, but now I feel I missed out.
If Pence had been honest about his stance on contested votes long before the votes were counted (at least a month before when people started talking about the possibility), this could've been a principled action. I think there's a legitimate case that the VP counting the standby electors would've looked more sketchy than counting the electors produced by not following the rules, and with illegally limited oversight.
Instead, he waited until literally the last minute, hoping he wouldn't need to answer the question or something, hoping that everyone on one side would think he thought one way, and everyone on the other side, the opposite. Now this action is marred by the idea that he's acting only in support of his own political future, rather than trying to judiciously and vigorously uphold the Constitution and its ideals.
Article 1, Section 6, Clause 1: "The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."
The members of Congress literally are above these laws when conducting official duty, or traveling on order to enact their official duty.
A micro SD card full of shit posting, spicy memes, real news, and info dumps, delivered daily by pigeon carrier. I can think of no greater purpose a pigeon (or a micro SD card) could have in life.
I have a friend that buys into media hype every time, even though it almost always turns out not to be a fair portrayal. I'm glad the pedes that could make it to DC represented us properly.
4 years is quick. How long do you think it's taken to descend this far?
If we can slog through 8 years of Obummer, we can make it through 4 years of Obummer Junior. America isn't a take-one-hit-and-never-come-back kind of country. This isn't the beginning, and it's not the end.
Pay attention to who lied to you throughout this. Turn them off, and never come back.
Pay attention to which states election laws worked best. Ask your state to mimic them. Fund efforts to change them, then volunteer. Be the poll watcher.
There's more history to make in the future.
If I could give up seafood sensation on italian herbs and cheese I would've done it long ago. Now I've got severe chemical dependence issues.
While it's true that China is the single largest debt holder, they own 1.1 trillion of it, or approximately 5%, which is ultimately not that much. There are major problems with China (intellectual property theft, aggression towards smaller neighbors, abuse of their people, the cultural war with the West, harvesting organs from political prisoners, the one party system, severe punishments for party personnel that admit issues, and extreme rewards for those that hide issues... I could go on, but that seems like a solid start), but the primary reason they buy US debt is to make their retirees feel comfortable with their ability to continue payments.
It looks like there's 23 others alive in 2011 that were famous enough to make Wikipedia's list: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Roberts_(disambiguation)
We should give every child range time so they can discover for themselves what kind of firearm they like best.
Impeach the 7.
Scotus won't be willing to change the way the electors go, but might declare the election improper, and drop the four states from consideration. That would leave both candidates without enough votes, and result in an election in the House, by state delegation. At that point, it depends how confident the house members are in Trump's victory, though they could actually elect anyone they want to.
Article III section 2 gives SCOTUS original jurisdiction in cases in which a state shall be a party (at the federal level), and SCOTUS has ruled that one state's court does not have jurisdiction over another state, so any time one state sues another, SCOTUS acts as the trial court.
That spelling of "centered" is just because they're speaking British instead of 'Murican. Still wrong, but that's why they're wrong.
Trump likes cucumbers.
"Wow, this dude hasn't been paying any attention, he's missed... Wow, I haven't been paying any attention, I missed the post."
Because people spend so much time on the internet, they choose their friends and acquaintances far more than any previous generation. The convenience of this means there are people that know and interact on a daily basis with 0 people that have major political disagreements with them.
In this circumstance, it is possible to believe that the political opposition must be insane, or evil, or deluded, and just be people with different life experience, values, and habits. This leads to a further decline in discussion.
Multiple times in the last few years I've shared my political position (I posted about it here when I told my family), and been accused of racism, bigotry, evil, or insanity. Without facing, dispelling, and overcoming the illusions that drive the divide, it will grow wider until it is no longer possible to repair.
