And it's important to take the time to digest and think on them in small doses

Yep. And O/T, but I simultaneously chuckle and throw up a little every time I see your handle...

Because she's a woman

I was not nearly as nice on mine....lol

This one made me sick to my stomach. Every single one of those fuckers involved should have been waterboarded with bleach until they died.

"Hick-hop." Perfect

You probably won't convince the leftist you're debating, but you may convince some of those who witness it.

It varies wildly from what I understand. I'm in a Constitutional Carry state, so I don't have a CCL. My two background checks each took about 15 minutes apiece.

Moose knuckle doesn't even cover it.

Wooly bully?

This is exactly right.

My brother in law was a tank mechanic (a relatively safe job on deployment in a war zone) during the first Gulf War, and they had an incident where their base was attacked. He had to lead his guys in fighting their way to safety. I think he even earned a medal for it.

Even the paper pushers in the rear with the gear need to be able to handle themselves.

Haha

Without thinking too much about it, I'd posit a couple things.

One, they saw the legitimate grassroots groundswell of people pushing back against big government and globalism as evidenced by the Tea Party. While that movement kinda left the spotlight, the people were still out there, increasing in numbers and getting increasingly pissed/motivated, as evidenced by the support for Trump in '16. The elites had to nip it in the bud to usher in their utopia before too many people woke up. They failed in that election, and had to throw everything at the wall in '20 to "succeed".

Two, which is related to the first point, is that the "progressive" movement was so close to achieving the goals they'd been inching toward for 100 years, I think they figured it was now or never, due to the success and increasing support of Trump's policies. They couldn't let us turn the tide and shine the light on the truth of leftism.

I think that's exactly right

Good God, he got slayed. On Reddit. One year ago.

Kinda hard to believe, honestly. I'd pretty much given up on Reddit at that point

Still waiting on mine

Ah yes, the "conservative" Californians who keep voting for the same bullshit policies they ran from.

Some of them are surely conservative, but definitely not the majority.

Not saying spray painting a car is ok, but there's a reason we don't like the massive influx of Californians into (what used to be) deep red counties in our state.

Yep. The 17th completely destroyed the power balance between state governments and the federal government.

Enough of them. Seems like even conservatives from California have liberal tendencies.

Sounds like the same ones out of Spokane stations.

"Folks" must score high on focus-group testing

North Idaho has been getting flooded for 20 years. Coeur d'Alene alone has gone from a population around 20k to north of 50k in that time.

California and Kootenaifornia license plates all over the roads

It's been that way and getting exponentially worse for 25 years

Coronaviruses mutate all the time. It's why we haven't eliminated the common cold.

Precisely. That's where so many people who argue about this lose the plot. Even many pro life people hedge and rail against 3rd trimester abortion because they think compromising will earn them a win. And to be fair, in some cases, it works out that way.

But logically, all it does is undermine their entire argument. It shifts the scope to completely arbitrary hurdles (heartbeat, viability outside the womb, etc.) instead of focusing on concrete science and putting the ball in the pro-abort's court.

Science says abortion kills a unique human being. Period. That is the premise to argue/debate from.

99.7% is low. They have no idea how many millions of us have had it and never knew. I suspect the number is enormous.

Agreed
