Re: Portland Riots Continue

Can't blame this on the Orange Man anymore. Does Kamala think they should stop now? Wasn't the election of Uncle Joe (at the Junction) supposed to make all this go away? Rioters vandalized several buildings in downtown Portland, Ore., on Saturday night in one of the largest protests in weeks, accor...

Shot Fired

Naming McConnell a "dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack," Trump said that the GOP would "never again be respected or strong" with McConnell at its helm. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-trashes-mitch-mcconnell-in-searing-new-statement McConnell is a lot of things but “political hack” i...

Re: Orange Woman's Coworker Resigns After Threating Reporter

Trump and associates daily threatened reporters of all types with no recrimination, including calling many media members "enemies of the people". The Biden staffer was found out and out the door within a few days. ALSO, both the WH staffer and the Politico reporter informed their respective employer...

Re: If not blocked from running again, does Trump run?

I'm fascinated by the "Biden vs. Trump" obsession on this board. 81 people didn't vote for Biden. Many of them voted for "the person chosen to represent their views..." whoever that turned out to be. They would have preferred Sanders, or maybe Elizabeth Warren. I know a number of former Republicans ...

It is a complete waste of my time to try to lay out the legal argument for you, so I won't even bother. You've already tried and convicted him in your mind, so why even bother with a trial?

the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. As far as government is concerned, there you go. That pesky Constitution always seems to get in the way of people who want to restrict gun ownership. But what does that amendment actually mean? "Bear arms" in the 18th century me...

Bryce, you seem like a smart person. Is this an all or nothing thing? Should people on the street have access to a gun that shoot bullets that pierce flak jackets? There are a lot of resources to stop 17 yr olds from texting while driving or smoking or drinking. I see no efforts to keep 17 yr olds f...

We are wasting our time

The world has broken down into two factions, neither of which can even agree on one set of facts. The "election was stolen" crowd will never believe that their guy lost and never concede, just like their leader. The "he was a Russian Double Agent" crowd will always believe that the 2016 election was...

Re: Biden on executive orders in October, 2020

Are you saying the Government of the State of Wyoming is not sovereign? Not empowered to make it's own unique laws? Govern differently from neighboring states? If so, you are mistaken. Case in point. Compare the speed limits of Wyoming to New York. How about their gun laws? So we can't even agree t...

Re: Biden on executive orders in October, 2020

Because the two Senator's represent the sovereign state of Wyoming, not the citizens of Wyoming. And now we get to the crux of the matter. A sovereign state is a political entity that is represented by one centralized government that has sovereignty over a geographic area. ... It is also normally u...
