Nah, it means that people should be allowed to provide for their own defense where they see fit since the state is unable to guarantee constant safety. The kind of person that would kill indiscriminately doesn’t care about gun free zone signs, they care about whether or not their targets are going to shoot back.

Now, which of those things would have stopped any shooting, ever?

You’re probably right. But it’s also not like being one of the best writers here is Pullitzer worthy writing the vast majority of the time either. It’s like being the best kid on your little league team.

I would posit, that like everything else Trump has “accomplished” during his presidency, it doesn’t matter what the end result is, as long as he can say he “did” it. As far as his base is concerned, he’s delivering on all his campaign promises and the ones he hasn’t yet is because of the evil Democrats who hate…

I was wondering if it was supposed to be some subtle commentary about the Uighurs, but they’re Turkic, not Persian, so it doesn’t really make sense.

Did... did you sneak a Letterkenny reference in there?

Well now I feel in honored company that we’re both gonna be harassed by the same nutjob. Get ready for him to comb through every comment you’ve ever starred and make the case that it means you implicitly support all the views any of them have ever had.

Magary is probably one of if not the best writer on GMG. Some of the folks on Jalopnik might come close, but if you made me pick who was overall best, it would be him.

Oh yeah, I forgot he did those! I really liked them too!

Good luck Nick. As I said on the other post by your colleagues, I might not have always agreed with what you wrote, but I appreciated the effort you put into it and the way in which you wrote it. You certainly informed me more about Native American issues than probably anything else in my life, and I thank you for…

I mean, according to your quote from the Daily Beast, the title is blatantly wrong. But it got me to click and read it, so I guess good on you.

It’s weird to say this, but I think Nick was actually one of the better writers here? 10,000 word diatribes aside, more often than not even if I disagreed with the premise he presented in whole or in part, I at least respected the way in which he took it and how he crafted it.

We aren’t that lucky.

Yeah, it never fails to amaze me how many people fail to see the long game.

I mean, given that she’s been on the court longer than any of us have, combined, maybe she’s right? But nahhhh, obviously all the progressive geniuses around here know much better and court packing will not in any way backfire horribly and turn the Supreme Court into an complete clown show.

The debt ceiling isn’t bad. Ignoring the debt ceiling and not doing anything to decrease spending,or actually paying down our debts, is bad. Everyone seems to think that the world economy will crash if we hit the debt ceiling, but what will happen if we take on more debt than our economy can possibly bear? The problem…

Sure, because that certainly won’t cause any other problems, like virtually guaranteeing that small businesses close up overnight, rampant inflation, and giant megacorps controlling everything on a scale that would make Jeff Bezos cream in his pants. It’s like you’re disappointed that it’s 2019 and we’re not already…

You mean the paradigm that creates a functioning economy? Yeah, no thanks. I’m not looking for bread lines any time soon.

Anyone want to lay odds that they’ll negotiate a higher salary but they’ll be expected to put in even more hours, staff will be cut, or the most likely answer, both?

Yeah, they want receipts, and can you really fault them for it? With Teflon Don in the White House who can literally say racist stuff on a daily basis and suffer little effect other than the left rage stroking over it, I don’t think you can settle for anything less.
