  1. I agree with all this. The NRA wouldn't let any of it happen.
  2. I don't think it's necessary to repeal the second amendment to do the first one. You can do a lot of bans, magazine and ammo limits, licensing and buybacks under the second amendment. I also question the premise that the assault weapon ban did nothing because it was technically silly. It may have at least provided a cultural signal on those types of guns that limited their availability. That's speculation though but laws do more than what they say.
  3. Holy shit. The lack of self awareness. Unbelievable. They've spent two decades manipulating the system to preserve minority rule and now dare to criticize Dems for wanting to make things more democratic. My god .
  4. You'd have to pay them but worth every penny. Maybe keep New Orleans for the tits, food and music.
  5. Here's a good Atlantic article on just how bad the Denmark thing really is. It's not just some funny thing Trump did. He is doing real and serious damage to our foreign relations. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/08/trump-defects-autocrats/596518/
  6. Put me in the turning point camp. There's blood in the water. Pelosi needs to put her heel to his throat. And hold all the republicans who enabled this accountable. Every single one.
  7. I posted in democracy dying thread. Should go in every Trump-related thread. Jesus Christ.
  8. Yep. But really glad the corporations and super rich got all that money the last go around to stimulate the economy. Just think how bad it would be if we didn't have those revenue increasing/selffunding tax cuts. I'm ready to repeal the 22nd amendment and let Liz have a nice FDR run. Fuck this shit. Soak em all to pay for this mess.
  9. Answer to the OP. Like this:
  10. This is despicable. Every person who reviewed to condemn Trump should be banished from public life. Don't forgive them for this.
  11. Beto did this in his Senate race and I think still does. It's a good move cause everyone makes it their profile picture.
  12. Should wait until Trump puts us into Chapter 11. Quite a deal.
  13. I'm in one of those places right now where I'm legitimately scared society is going to fall apart or Trump will accidentally start a nuclear war. I live a few miles from the Pentagon. It feels like when I was kid in the 80s with cold war hysteria still pretty strong and lyng in ber thinking about a nuclear attack. We lived in Abilene where they had the B1 bombers, then solely used for nukes. I don't like feeling this way. If fear motivates people to vote hopefully this fear will get people to vote Trump out of office. We need some "Daisy" ads this cycle.
  14. Anyone seen speculation on a price for Greenland? Considering the strategic value and potential natural resources, I'd have to think it would be yuge. Like tree fiddy billion.
  15. Gradually and then all at once. We're nearing phase two. That said, that ruling is more complex than this case. Isn't part of the motivation behind the litigation to allow the possibility of following the national popular vote?
  16. Multiple semi-serious candidates considering a primary challenge. I'd file in the rise turning category: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-critics-eye-gop-primary-race-even-if-defeating-him-seems-preposterous/2019/08/20/4382f3dc-c360-11e9-b72f-b31dfaa77212_story.html
  17. That pesky liberal Wall Street Journal creating a recession. Worst leader ever.
  18. All of that's the Dems fault. Don't you know nothing? I think what you have to watch for is 1) members of his core base actually hurting due to Trump policies, 2) the willingness of the rich and traditional conservatives to continue the deal with the devil. I'm not sure if either have changed much in the last few weeks but people in 1), think farmers, Midwestern working class whites, seem to be questioning him.
  19. Bad teammate, I think you should try to understand the concern with collecting info about neighbors without their knowledge or knowledge that it's for a campaign. That's what the Bern app launch email implied and the difference between OFA and Warrens app that people are expressing concern about. I have extensive organizing experience, including working at a high paid position on a congressional campaign, for a Governor campaign and volunteered extensively for Obama in 08, among other campaign activity. The use I described above is not the norm. Maybe that's not what the Bernie campaign intended but youre not responding to it by claiming everyone does it
  20. I got a nice gubment not job and my wife has a nice dependent on gubment job. I will also vote for Elizabeth Warren who is the most capable in cleaning up the mess the Dotard will leave.
  21. Having seen buying Greenland become an international incident, you have to think about how Trump would respond to a real crisis. Imagine Trump on 9/11 or during the financial crisis. God help us.
  22. Wow. You know, Trump has been terrible for the economy, environment, rule of law, human rights, belief in government, foreign relations, national security, the press and many other things. But on the whole, I think the laughter I've had from his proposal to buy Greenland may have made it all worth it. Maybe.
