Would you have him pencil the rating, too? I couldn't advise that and maintain my standards.

Believing he said it wasn't the hard part, after all, it's Gohmert. The hard bit was not believing that somewhere someone heard him and thought: goddamn liberals, enough's enough. Where's my gun?

20 hours of tunnel, pencil the jumps, and get any rating to clean up the books.

You crack me up.

Nothing broke down nor will anything much change. We're simply not the inherently nice, collaborative species we pretend to be.

There it is. Away from the convention their security details will allow them to believe they are safe. The private school their kids attend are secure, so that's all good too. So really this is just a parenting problem. If those mothers in Ulvade cared more for their kids they would have provided a security detail. We do not need a nanny state, we need more personal responsibility.

As you have mentioned previously, we have 100 years of "cheap" fossil fuels in the ground and AGW is an anti-food, anti-salubrious, anti-poor person farce. Let's give you all of that and promise to quit pointing out that you don't have a job. So, then what? It's 2122 and we are out of oil and shit out of luck. Is your plan to find another 100 years of salubrium?

Multnomah Falls? So that's a thing organized by a bunch of commies. Guy I know sells the buckets to the ex-Rajneeshie bucket brigade that totes the water to the top. It's always the simplest and most obvious explanation.

Yep, couple of Oregon boy's exercised their second amendment rights, and their right to choose, by atomizing themselves in a WWII armored vehicle. All for the low, low price of $200 for a stamp. The system is working.

Because they were smart enough to recognize that energy from coal is actually power from Solar! Black is the new Green.

Moreover, I stand by my point that believing you need to buy one or two AR-15's and a crate of ammo, and a dozen high capacity mags and walk out the door with your new arsenal, should be seen, as a default condition, as evidence of mental instability. If you can prove otherwise then come back in two weeks after your successful psychological exam and pick up your guns. Why? Well, because just like your pit bull that never bit anyone before some things simply can not be trusted based on biased assertion.

Agreed.

Another AR-15. Bought on the same day. More thoughts and prayers. We just can not live this way and consider ourselves civilized.

The Liberty alliance has issued it's new 'Anti-Woke Map". All 12 spots are schools. https://libertyallianceusa.com/woke-heat-map/ If the evolution of humanity is the norm for all sentient life in the universe it makes perfect sense that there appears to be no one else out there.

What goes down must have previously gone up.

You’d never see a chick do something as boneheaded thoughtless as flipping off an enemy drone. There should be a rule: above Major, no dudes.

You’d be better off leaving those alone and banning poutine. Christ, I’d rather have a bowl of that foul Slovakian Halusky.

You can't? So then what's the engineering secret behind water fountains?

Yes, it's available, but the second coming moves at a faster pace and the process would make the Byzantine blush.

Nope. The cop who saved me is a TI here. In fact, he's a real life hero. He's the cop, it's a famous thing, who in full riot gear at a protest walked up to a little black kid who was holding a sign offering free hugs and asked if he could have one. He then talked to the kid at his level about what was bothering him about the police and gave him agreement and support. Talk about being incredible and knowing how to do your job.

If you are someone who needs to believe it's not the guns but it's something else like healthcare, that is to say, uncared for mental derangement, you have a few hurdles to leap. The first hurdle is the constant exclamation that there was no prior indication of derangement by the perpetrators of these gun killings followed up by the assertion that even if there were heretofore unknown indications none would have been discovered by a common background check. So let's give you all of that but, to be fair, we'll assume that you would be keen on finding those unknown indications so we might prevent at least one mass shooting in the future. Great. You still have an empty bag. So what about this potential indication: an 18 year old kid wants to buy two AR-15 style weapons, 1800 rounds of ammunition and a dozen or so high capacity magazines. Is that an indication of potential mental instability? Is that something that should be halted until a little more investigation happens? Is that something a gun shop owner should deny by law or be held responsible for allowing? Is that a reason to have gun control laws? That's the problem. Either you believe mental instability is the issue and can be seen or you just want to use it as a trope so you can ignore the horror of these mass shooting events. Which one are you?

You sir, even if you are 100, are wise beyond your years.

Except for me on gopher patrol, No. I only recall once when some dumb ass showed up with a holstered gun and a Crocodile Dundee knife on his hip and he was told that he's on private property and it needs to be put away. Fortunately, one of our staff is a cop so he drew the duty.

As long as we're safe at the gun store buying our AR-15, 1000 rounds of ammo, and 13 banana clips there isn't a problem. In fairness, the gun gonzos are correct, it is a mental health issue; apparently holding an AR-15 with a 30 round magazine can make you insane. It must be true because, as we're incessantly told by the gun strokers, the child murderers showed no signs of illness beforehand.

Which is why my only war focused charity these days is "Walkers for Ukrainian Patriots". A guy I know who knows this other guy who has a friend continues to claim that these short term contract soldiers are ready to bolt. Maybe.
