Slaves were 3/5ths of a person until they weren't. The people hiding Anne Frank were criminals. The people who sent her to the death camp were just doing their job enforcing the law.

None of that is any more constitutional than FDRs internment of citizens with Japanese ancestors, or his confiscation of gold. Just because the government gets away with violating the constitution doesn't change what it means and says. Robbing a bank is still a crime, even if you get away with...

Ranching, not mining. It's one giant moron ranch. They fleece them once a year for votes.

Blocked by YouTube, but here's a YouTube link to it ?

Because while there is a general exodus from the state, there is an even greater exodus from NYC. So there are net people moving out of NYC and moving upstate.

They do have the English bill of rights from 1689 that guarantees an RKBA (limited to protestants, and weapons suitable to self defense, but an RKBA none the less), ours was derived from that. Bill of Rights 1689 - Wikipedia Bill of Rights 1689 - Wikipedia

Too little, too late. They're cooked at this point, they've got a generation, 2 at the most before they're just north Iran.

You spelled "embezzle" wrong.

AI might upend the entire apple cart in the next 10 or 20 years. Things might go *very* sideways depending on how that shakes out. You could have a situation where productivity goes through the roof, so prices plummet all over the place, but at the same time most people won't be able to find...

The trick is I don't think I'll see the "get better" side of that in my lifetime, so I'd prefer the "get worse" side proceed as slowly as possible. But, for sure, it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

I have a few I plan on filing. Which reminds me, I need to order my 10" PS90 barrel before the Christmas rush hits.

That's what the controversy is about here. Trump's DOJ is pursuing the argument that it's still a tax even at $0. And since SCOTUS already upheld a tax that you're not allowed to pay at all in the '86 shenanigans, it's not clear that they will reach the only logical conclusion here. Maybe...

To be fair, the site sitting idle is going to cost them a shitload of money. So, this isn't as good as arrests, but it's something.

Corollary: it's Saturday.

The problem there is that if you create a system where we *need* to know what that church was teaching in order to reach a conclusion, then the conclusion will be subject to the whims of fashion. Now, I agree, if it's causing actual physical harm to the child, then that's actionable abuse. But...

What Trump could have done would have been to simply not defend the indefensible before SCOTUS. He doesn't have the power to remove the NFA, true. But what people were asking in this case is when people brought the challenge to SCOTUS, just don't fight them. When GOA et. al argued before...

The constitution cannot be suspended, only violated.

It's like inflation. Nothing is actually going to get better until we burn the whole place to the ground. The best you can hope for is 4 years where it doesn't get much worse.

These days just not actively pushing to turn us all into criminals is about the best we can get.

I'd take the Ar pistol over nothing for self defense, but I've literally got a dozen or more better choices. Probably anyone with a toy like that does too. I'd take that 50bmg pistol over nothing too. If I was down to choosing one or the other of them for self defense, I'd go for the AR...

I've never fired a .50bmg pistol, but from what I know about the interior ballistics, I'll not sure it *would* have massive recoil. More than a 9mm for sure, but might not be too much worse than a .44mag. It would be a very heavy pistol, no doubt about that. That would help with the recoil...

It's a toy. I have some guns that also fall into that category. I can't complain about a .50bmg pistol when I have a 5.56 pistol with a 7.5" barrel. Neither of them have a practical use other than bringing a smile to your face when you pull the trigger.

He's got the time. I doubt he has the money. You forget in the US you get all the justice you can afford.

Yes, they are essentially at the mercy of the Isreaiis who would dog walk them in an actual war. I was just pointing out that if that idea keeps them up at night, they should bear in mind what happens if the US decides they are too much of a detriment to our interests. Sort of a "don't think...

I don't disagree. But do we really want the government deciding what topics are dangerous brainwashing ? What if it's the father who is trying to trans the kid here and the "dangerous brainwashing" from the church is just that there are only 2 genders, and you don't get to pick yours ? There...

I fire my carry gun often enough that I feel reasonably proficient with it. But I would not shoot it anywhere near as much as some of my other guns. So the shooting I do with the other guns also raises my proficiency with the LCP. You are way better off shooting 30 rounds with the LCP and 500...

2 ? I have like 20. My carry gun is optimized for ease of carry. But I don't just own guns for defense. I own them for fun too. Just like I have 4 registered vehicles with only 2 drivers in the house. I don't want to drive the Deuce to Tucson for dinner, and I don't want to try to haul...

If it's not criminally endangering the kid, then the judge has no business interfering. Let's say it's a real fire and brimstone church, and they're preaching that some aspect of the father's life is sinful and he's headed for eternal damnation. Is that really something the government should...

Fuck diplomacy. It has it's place, but not here. If it brings down a friendly foreign government, then so be it. If it utterly destroys some allies, then so be it. If it causes a fucking War, then cry havoc. Because the problem is a lot bigger than just a few kids. The fact that those type...

Hunter Biden's laptop ?

If the church is really a danger to kids, just telling one mother she can't take her one kid there is *not* the answer. So, either this is bullshit, or the Judge is OK endangering dozens of other kids. This needs to be either nothing, or a full blown criminal investigation. There is no...

That is literally what Epstein meant in the email when he referred to Trump as "the dog that wouldn't bark". It's also likely why Trump's name was mentioned so many times. Epstein was trying *very* hard to suck Trump into that scheme, but he would never take the bait.

The real question people need to ask is why would exposing any of the pedophiles on epstein island be a national security concern to the US ? And if it is, WTF are people doing in the name of our national security ? There is *zero* room in the law to allow any part of our national security...

Shooting blind is never a good plan, for a lot of reasons. It wouldn't become a good plan in the absence of legal consequences either.

I'm sure they're scared of that. But the fact that we carried out our strikes from within *our* borders on the other side of the world has to have them absolutely terrified. They have missiles they can lob at Telaviv. They can't even attempt an attack on Montana. And the fact that we blew up...

It's NY, they can make whatever ridiculous rulings they want and get away with it. I could see a dipshit prosecutor arguing the bathroom isn't part of the dwelling because there's a door between that and the bed. But the plain language of the statute says the entire structure is a dwelling if...

Perhaps a citation of the precedent of "shoot, shovel, and shut up" would be in order. Depending on the jurisdiction, and assuming the "shoot" part is justified, that might not even be technically illegal. I would not want to have to defend that last point in court though.

Right, the structure is occupied in part (the house), but that makes the entire structure a dwelling if even part of it is occupied. As long as the garage and the house are the same structure it's all one dwelling. To say otherwise would be to say my kitchen isn't part of the dwelling, because...

'"dwelling" shall mean any building or structure or portion thereof...' House itself is clearly a dwelling. An attached garage is certainly a portion thereof of that structure.

That depends greatly on what county you live in. The laws may be identical, but the application varies drastically. Which is a sign of a failed justice system IMHO.

Well, they've given up on trying to further enrich their uranium. I would say at least for the remainder of Trump's term. Probably because they know they can't hide it, and they could spend a year or two building a new enrichment facility, and we could just destroy it in a day again. Seems...

Looks like the attack was pretty damned successful. All of the posters here suggesting that it was only a minor setback appear to be very very wrong.

Just enough to be legally a pistol LOL. OfC, it's a round designed for a 45" barrel, so you're lucky if 10% of the powder has even burned before the bullet is on it's own. Must be a really impressive fireball at the muzzle though. Actual velocity, less impressive.

We *know* Fauci was funding activities at Wuhan. That's officially acknowledged public information. When you're providing the funding you have at least some measure of control. This isnt even a probable supposition, it's a logical conclusion.

Well, anal sex spreads it about 100x faster than anything else, and they're the one demographic where that's their go to. Plus, they've got the same male "fuck anything that moves" drive as the rest of us, but so does their target demographic, is it any wonder that they're mostly man whores ...

Tarrifs are also a diplomatic tool, and that has always been thier primary purpose. Revenue generation was always secondary. That is why the head of state (POTUS) can impose them unilaterally, whereas Revenue based taxes are the purvue of congress. If you want that to be explicitly clear...

Turns out gay men have the lowest divorce rate, then heterosexual marriages, then lesbians. It appears that the stability of a relationship is strongly correlated with the number of women involved. Who would have guessed....

It should just be treated like a business partnership as far as the government is concerned. I wouldn't even be opposed to the standard being to basically form a corporation that holds all marital assets. Streamline that process, and tell everyone to just use it. Makes divorce real easy too...

Everyone fighting about gay marriage is completely missing the point. Government shouldn't be involved in marriage at all. Once you fix that, then it's just between you and your clergy, whatever their opinion might be. As for civil unions, a partnership has been a recognized way to organize a...
