That it hasn’t been stabilizing in fact is a matter of the record. You’re conflating the rules of the Senate (cloture, filibuster) as they stand today with the structure of the senate. But more importantly, stability wasn’t the point or purpose. The point was, explicitly, to mix proportional representation in the house with equal representation in the Senate to recognize what sovereignty remained to the states.

The weeping you hear is just watering the Tree of Liberty

Uh, Federalist 62?

They absolutely understood this. Giving South Carolina (for example) equal representation in the Senate to Massachusetts despite was absolutely required for constitutional adoption, despite SC only having half as many residents, nearly half of whom were African slaves.

No. That’s ahistorical nonsense. And it has never facilitated stability, and it was not implemented for that purpose either. I happen to like the historic filibuster, and the structure of the Senate, but our current reality is a spectacular example of how it can imperil the Republic when the minority party effectively controls a majority or plurality of states and seeks to impose its will nationally. The other example was the 1850’s.

Securing their firearms from improper use is the obligation of every gun owner and I am 100% comfortable with civil and criminal penalties for those whose irresponsibility leads to mayhem and death.

Particularly not the rights of a minor who was worrisome enough to be known to the FBI at age 13. Who amongst us, right?

Why do you hate freedom

TRIPLE FREEDOM C-C-COMBO:

Love a dutch baby - my recipe 3 eggs 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup milk some honey, some salt, some nutmeg Mix it all in the blender. cut up 1/2 stick of butter in a 10" cast iron skillet, and put it in a cold oven, then preheat to 425 When the oven reaches 425, the butter should be melted and then some. Pour the batter in, return to the oven and bake for about 20-25 mins.

Thank you

Two of my uncles committed suicide, both with handguns, and while I take your point I assure you the witnesses would have counted them as violent gun deaths. They also owned assault rifles. Do you know what they didn't have? Quality mental healthcare. Would that have helped? I don't know, they were married to my aunt. But what I do know is that the assault rifles they owned didn't factor into their deaths. Dude. I hear you, but at the Federal level the bolded line above is simply not true. * blue states and Florida, where gun death rates are lower than Oregon, Pa, and Illinois.

My prediction: the triple Freedom Combo: 1) Student known to be dealing with mental health or anger issues 2) Student had access to unlocked/unsecured weapons 3) Police have visited the house before/are aware of violence or mental health issues in the home

Oh no, my man. We are SO much worse than this. A thousand times worse. Our depravity and indifference are so complete that we ONLY pretend to care about shootings that involve schools and public places now. Thats a few hundred deaths a year. But around 40-50k people a year will die from gunshot. A little over half of those will be suicide which we don't care about, and all but a tiny fraction of the rest will be regular, non active shooter murder, which we we also don't care about. Oh, and only around 3% of the gun deaths will be from an assault rifle, but assault rifles will be involved in about 2/3 of active shooter incidents, which gives us the McGuffin we need for our play about caring. Everyone agrees that mental health issues and domestic violence are deeply involved in gun homicide and that the vast majority of all it could be either mitigated or avoided altogether with a combination of red flag laws, waiting periods, age restrictions, safe storage requirements, and (dare I even mention it) a modicum of first-world mental health treatment. But WE DON'T CARE! So let's all gather around and watch "progressives" and "conservatives" jerk each other off about AR-15s. Beats giving a fuck, right? Thoughts and prayers, though. The shooter was WOKE

He backtraced it! Consequences will never be the same!

Goddamn this is so much better as a day game.

Jamie Davidson is also at least one of the founding fathers of Reggaeton.

The person who tagged me in that fb post voted for Obama, then Hillary Clinton, then Biden. It was a combination of inflation, the border, and the moral panics about trans athletes and CRT that put him over. Curiously, despite voting for Biden and Democrats in Texas until recently they also became convinced that Biden and Democrats stole the 2020 election. This is a retired person who is otherwise quite smart, very accomplished, a dedicated conservationist and a good old guy, but he and his peer group are vulnerable to social media and cable news propaganda techniques, and his brain has been poisoned.
