  1. LOL. I get a few of those cases every year, if not more.
  2. I wonder why Obama didn’t “do anything” to deal with mass shootings... Except the background check legislation blocked by the GOP despite wide popular support. * And the mental health refs related to guns that Trump removed once in office.
  3. The restrictions apply to everyone. When did this “new rule” start? Wouldn’t it also silence the “libs”? Also, maybe, just maybe, comments get disabled ALL OVER THE INTERNET once shit crosses some pretty simple lines. But by all means, keep playing the victim card. Bless your heart.
  4. The distinction is that Trump is President so he has a duty to not violate the 1st Amendment. Twitter is just a company, as other have pointed out. I agree though that he won’t get banned from twitter, but it won’t be litigation fears that cause them to back down.
  5. Regarding the new “suggestion that an executive agency propose a law, to then go to Congress” involving the death penalty: Ummm...the vast majority of these shooters die while committing these atrocities. Potential murderers are aware and accept death as a consequence. I mean, most people would assume the death penalty was already the punishment for these acts.
  6. Of course they CAN be taxed, but there is a line at which the tax becomes infringement. ETA: There already is a separate additional federal tax on firearms/ammo sales. It’s the “tax the F out of them” that becomes an issue at some point. Where the line is, who knows?

  8. I mean, first of all, Chicago’s murder rate, per capita, in 2018 ranked 25th. Also, I don’t believe that the killers in Chicago recently left racist, xenophobic manifestos which mirrored the rhetoric of a significant political faction of the country. There was a drive by in Cedar Park last night, yet NOTHING on CNN...no shit.
  9. Basically all rights can be regulated but not prohibited, so that’s not a distinction. I’m bailing on this now though before I end up getting a bunch of green rep from posters I generally loathe.
  10. The answer is that your FB friend is a dumb motherfucker.
  11. Look man, I’m on “your side”, but you can’t use a heavy tax to make an end run around the Constitution. “Poll tax out front should have told ya.”
  12. That and it ignores the whole “racists love trump” concept that is, in and of itself, telling.
  13. True, but generally, cartels prefer to drag their murder/violent activities back into Juarez, instead of anywhere on the US side. It’s unnecessary risk for them, regardless of any leadership vacuum (which is definitely a thing).
  14. Wait. In this, the AOC thread, you make a post that consists of zero content other than a tweet about someone else getting a divorce? Ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Yes, because currently, you can meme your way into office at any level.
  16. Did that article mention ANYTHING that could be construed as some basis for calling Cummings a racist? I didn’t see it, but I must be wrong because if I’m right, that would mean that EMAW made some bullshit non-responsive troll post that added nothing to the discussion. Surely that can’t be the case.
  17. Wait. Next you’re going to tell me that Donald Sterling was racist too?!?!
  18. Lol. In this city, the answer is always “wrecking ball”.
  19. Yeah, the lifting of the zoning restriction of a maximum (3?) stories for buildings in WC, just ruined that shit beyond recognition.
  20. Really? The ENTIRE dossier was PROVEN false? I’m going to need a link or a cite for that.
  21. I’ll always remember that place as “Pronto Market”.
  22. I didn’t read the entire lawsuit, but were the words “because he’s under audit” ever used? I didn’t see them.
  23. Just buy ghee. Doesn’t have to be refrigerated, lasts forever at room temp after opening, AND it doesn’t burn as easy, because it’s clarified.
  24. John Brotherton says you are wrong, but it’s ok. Sammiches defy rules.
