That’s completely false. If your version of history were actually correct, D.C. would have never had to pass the ordinance that led to the Heller decision in the first place.

Odds are, though, that the same people that are careless around firearms are careless when they drive, operate heavy machinery, etc.

It’s too big now. That’s what blew up in 2016. You can’t go out of your way to appease parts of the base - trans people, blacks - without driving others - poor whites - out of the party.

So let me get this straight. You think that the 1A should protect perjury? What happened to you to make you this way?

The Nazis want you to “counterprotest” because it gives them air time.

You realize you’re arguing with a guy that posts here all the time that’s imprisoned, right? He literally does this all the time. He’ll eventually accuse you of being either (a) a fast food employee; (b) unemployed; or (c) working in retail.

Don’t be an idiot every day of your life. Here’s a Supreme Court opinion you should read to get a bit of education about what is, and is not, protected by 1A.

That is you doing everyone else on this board a great service. David Puddy is a moron.

When did “false statements” become speech outside of 1A? The NYT posts false statements in virtually every issue, issues corrections to fix them, and is fully protected by the First Amendment in all of that.

“They’re invariably met by groups of counter-protesters and police, and things quickly descend into chaos. There are beatings, sometimes shootings, a media circus ensues.”

In the US, news works like this. You have 30 to 60 minutes to fill. You are competing with tons of other outlets in a fragmented market.

Winning the Gov’s Mansion is NJ is a legitimate victory that Democrats have every reason to be happy about. The great turnout in Virginia is an encouraging sign and, if it carries over to all mid-terms (my money’s on it won’t) that’d be great.

Is he bringing his own power grid to run it?

I’m not sure I’d rely on that. In 2014 there was an Independent that ran, but I think he pulled votes from LePage and Michaud. It would be interesting to see what would have happened without him but I think LePage would have won.

Do you call Politico “The Politico” for any particular reason?

“Fuck all those horrible, miserable, lousy pieces of shit. They’re terrible!”

These people look truly intimidating. I’m sure that we’ll sign back up to the Paris Climate Accords lickety-split.

And, unfortunately for you, you’ll never have much in the way of reading comprehension skills, either.

Maybe if you read shit before you tried to convince us all how clever you are, you wouldn’t be so confused. I just cut-and-pasted the comment I responded to and if you think it’s complimentary, you should get your dictionary out again.

So if I say every old person is evil, what conduct have I engaged in? Vilification or ageism because it can only be one, right?
