I think Iowa needs to be a heartbeat bill requiring that every politician verifies that they do, indeed, have a fucking heart.

My opinion has always been: you don’t want refugees or immigrants? Then don’t fuck with the rest of the world. You want to be the spider in the middle of the web of globalization? Then you have a responsibility to uphold.

Makes sense as milsurps were a dime a dozen up until recently and were beyond cheap until very recently. Hell, my friend’s dad bought an amazing SMLE for $8.50 in the 60s. Hard to compete against that as a manufacturer.

Actions speak louder than words, unless you’re the party of ‘small government’!

Pity Sex was a pretty good band!

It’s very true. But I do think that if anything as drastically and openly tyrannical as what the Nazis did were to happen,  there would be immense pushback from California, New York, etc. Most likely not because the liberal politicians actually care THAT much but because they know that it would be politically…

Oof, this will be interesting to see. But will most likely be torpedoed somewhere down the road, quietly, with deep ramifications.

I’ve never seen such a well reasoned, thought out explanation of one’s economic anxiety!

Good point. After all, the Germans and even some of the Poles and Russians they were fighting against were all too eager to help the Einsatzgruppen advance their plan. And, I know all too well how the international community turned a blind eye to the plight of Jews attempting to flee (my grandmother was one who lucked…

I’d love to see that. Sadly, you just know the National Guard would be called in and it would turn out just like Kent State.

Since the 94 AWB they’ve descended further and further into fearmongering madness. I’m not intimately familiar with the minute ins and outs of the history of the NRA but I think during the Clinton era they made a conscious repositioning of their messaging strategy to be based on personal defense as opposed to…

This is why I always say that gun ownership and shooting would benefit from an influx of POC and other minorities.

No, see, the people who put it out there know that their supporters/readers have appallingly low levels of reading comprehension.

This should be the pilot of an HBO reboot of The Jeffersons.

Yeah, I’m not really seeing the outrage. 200k for a mortgage, at least one car payment, most likely private schools for 2+ kids and THEN an apartment on top of that?

It’s amazing how a party within toenail’s reach of a supermajority, who has the Presidency and an immeasurable amount of wealth behind it can continue, shamelessly, to play the roll of the oppressed and bullied AND rally their supporters behind that idea.

I think it’s because a big chunk of those people saw how the big boom led to a big crash in the 20s and didn’t want to repeat that.

Americans are amazingly willing victims.

Something something ‘law and order’, something something ‘first responders’, something something ‘it’s a hard job and if you don’t trust the cops who put their lives on the line for you then don’t call them’, something something ‘!1!!!11!!!’
