  1. Context matters. My comment about members of each party calling each other insane liars was in the context of drumming up a partisan staff petition is not a big deal. You could probably gin up its equivalent in any state house in this country right now against some member or another.
  2. lol get the fuck out of here with your dimestore psychoanalysis what a fucking joke, in addition to being unbelievably smug and condescending I'm fully aware of what I am and am not saying, and I never drew any sort of false equivalence. This place is such a circle jerk echo chamber, to the point where you don't even read what people say, you just assume they're running a play out of some playbook and you jump to the end.
  3. There isn't. It should be done frequently. Obviously I need to clarify what I was saying. I made the following incontrovertibly true statement: 1. The parties call each other liars. I did not make the following statement, which appears to have been assumed by the posters in this thread: 1. Republicans do not lie Relying on a petition from partisan dweebs does not make a strong point. It is stupid. There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of Boebert, including the fact that she appears to be at least mildly retarded, and then whatever issues you may have with her politics.
  4. No I didn't. Show me where I went further than that. I literally said both parties call the other liars all the time.
  5. Assuming your last sentence is an actual and not rhetorical question, it depends on the race and it depends on who is running. I voted for Obama the first time, then Romney. I voted for Trump twice because first time I would not vote for HRC no matter what (I was a White House intern during the Clinton administration and I hate them). I liked most of Trump's policies and think Biden is a moron so I voted for Trump the second time. I voted for Doug Jones for senate every time he ran. He's probably the only person I've voted for without feelings of frustration or doubt.
  6. I made the mistake of weighing in at all. That's my fault. I did it because the idea that people signed some petition means anything at all in today's political climate is silly. That was my only point. I'm not going to defend every GOP politician as a paragon of truth and integrity, because they are not. I cannot think of any federal-level politician I trust or admire, on either side of the aisle. I was challenged with providing evidence of people on the left calling people on the right "liars." That's what I did. I am not defending one party, or attacking the other. They are both dogshit as far as I am concerned.
  7. Who are "my people"? Swalwell - Cawthorn is a liar: https://www.businessinsider.com/eric-swalwell-mocks-madison-cawthorn-lying-about-getting-into-the-naval-academy-2021-10 Schumer - Trump is a liar: AOC - Yoho is a liar: https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/24/politics/aoc-ted-yoho-latest/index.html Ilhan Omar: McCarthy is a "liar and a coward": https://www.businessinsider.com/omar-mccarthy-liar-coward-gop-condones-bigotry-2021-12 Need I go on? I don't need to list the Republicans saying the same thing because we all know they do. The parties are constantly calling the other side liars.
  8. I can't believe I wrote "unlocked." I meant "unloaded in a safe"
  9. Their potato salad slams
  10. You're just repeating yourself without pointing to anything that the NRA actually does. The NRA advocates that mentally ill people should have guns, as should criminals and whatever a violent bully is that is somehow different than a criminal, and that straw purchases should be legal? Where are you getting this from?
  11. I don't really disagree with any of this
  12. Okay I obviously don't get the vibe of this place, or at least this thread. I got neg rep from somebody for saying the parties call each other liars all the time. Somebody else wants me to prove that (even though it's obvious and there's examples of it happening every day). So let's agree she's a nutbag and I'm out.
  13. fair observation look she's obviously a dipshit
  14. you've got to be kidding
  15. I respectfully disagree. I think both parties are constantly calling the other side insane liars.
  16. Actually Parkland and Sutherland Springs probably could have been stopped by simple application of existing laws. Who would have red flagged the Sandy Hook shooter? The psycho POS mom who bought her kid guns and got murdered for it?
  17. Yes she sucks but having 400 dem staffers complain about anything a republican does is not a heavy lift. How would you feel about 400 republican staffers complaining about Eric Swalwell? If your response would be anything other than "who cares?" then something is wrong with you.
  18. What is it that the NRA works against that you and most gun owners want? Please explain.
  19. I'm all for people buying whatever they want to defend themselves and I'm sorry dumb laws prevent that in some situations. I keep all my guns unlocked in a safe because I have kids and live in a nice neighborhood (few if any recent Jussie Smollet sightings) so the cost/benefit analysis works that way for me. But if people feel the need or desire to be fully armed, that's cool with me.
  20. I was already in Delta II Carry Pattern Alpha or whatever the gun weirdos say these days.
  21. Agreed. I was relatively careful about ear protection growing up and I still have considerable damage.
  22. Yes I agree. And suppressors are good for people who don't want to damage their hearing and for hunting. And sawed off shotguns may very well be good for self defense. I'm not arguing that these laws are correct, just that I don't care all that much.
  23. I think it's a dumb law but it does not bother me because it has no real impact on the core right embodied in the Second Amendment, which is the right to keep and bear arms that are commonly possessed for lawful purposes. I think use of suppressors should be legal and should be encouraged, and that the law (which was rational when it was passed because at that point only bad guys were using them) should be reevaluated. But I don't really care one way or the other. There are plenty of dumb laws that don't accomplish anything and I'm not trying to be a dogmatic libertarian.
  24. I'm cool if you're cool
  25. This whole attack on abortion will have disastrous collateral consequences.
