  1. Meaning the Trailside? Had a bad rep for durability, but it's a bullseye/target pistol, not a truck gun. Along the same line. Current production is said to be less than great, but the old ones are lovely.
  2. You seriously contend that American diet doesn't have an outsized effect on BMI and obesity? And "safe space" and "bigot"? Thought you'd be a big RFK fan.
  3. I think you mean iron lung.
  4. Well I do know that the DoD IG is now at risk, that's for damn sure.
  5. Yeah, contrary to current popular belief, an organization can encourage or at least welcome religion by not endorsing any single brand or flavor of it.
  6. First comment: Hegseth's "fog" comes in a 750ml bottle
  7. RIP
  8. And that the congress would be so starved for votes to go right along with it.
  9. Also fun thing. From what I can glean, the article they were supposed to comment on was about bullying of transgender or gender dysphoric teens. And nowhere does this little brainwashed cunt giving her biblically informed personal opinion say anything that might condemn bullying for any reason. Y'know, like Jesus would do.
  10. Yeah, the first one is problematic for basically all administrations now that Congress has abdicated the power to declare war. All of our "wars" are now suspect and "individualized" strikes potential war crimes or murder. At least until now, most of those were at least colorable exercises of the 9/11 AUMF. The "double tap" is really extra though. Here's what I see as problematic for kegbreath. Even if he didn't explicitly give the order to make the second strike, the soldier/sailor that did was operating under general orders that made it clear that's what was to happen.
  11. Where does he write anymore?
  12. For core constitutional functions, yes. The only remedy for presidential criminality is impeachment, which can presumably be followed by prosecution. Under this scheme then, using pardons as an example of an undoubtedly core constitutional function, POTUS could profit to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars for pardons granted toward the end of a term when there is insufficient time to impeach. This would have been a much better hypothetical horrible than "Seal Team 6 killing political enemies," that was dismissed as hysterical. One problem with all this is, outside of Trump, it never comes up or has not in the last 250 years. Congress could speed it up by enacting some Presidential crimes, though, and get a more sane Court to oveturn/revise the ruling. After consideration, all presidential immunity should be presumptive, only, the presumption overcome by balancing the "chilling effect" against other considerations.
  13. I think I knew that. He's been pretty quiet though.
  14. Not sure whether I agree with Will on anything anymore, but I'll give him props for that. He could always turn a phrase.
