  1. You know what, I think it's well understood that if you're a double agent against Russia you can assume that someday you'll be walking down the street and feel a slight prick somewhere on your body. They're like the evil counterparts of the jewish forces that hunted down Nazis after the war and even some terrorist attacks. It should not be forgotten that President Putin has a well established history of poisoning UK citizens. Ukrainian politicians, etc. "Alexander Litvinenko was a former officer of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) and KGB, who fled from court prosecution in Russia and received political asylum in the United Kingdom. On 1 November 2006, Litvinenko suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. He died three weeks later, becoming the first confirmed victim of lethal polonium-210-induced acute radiation syndrome.[1] Litvinenko's allegations about the misdeeds of the FSB and his public deathbed accusations that Russian president Vladimir Putin was behind his unusual malady resulted in worldwide media coverage.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_of_Alexander_Litvinenko Now that you mention Jews. There is one thing that separates Putin from the average stupid politician. Putin understands the American people. Putin: Maybe Jews or minorities behind US election interference https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/12/politics/putin-comment-jews-russian-minorities/index.html Clearly Jews including George Soros could have been behind election meddling. The republican house should investigate it. Calling Fox news.
  2. ^^^^^ This is why Nancy Pelosi and democrats are not making headway against the trump base...er.. as much as they should be. Instead of trump bashing let trump dig his own grave. He's doing a great job. Democrats need to step up the national job training agenda. Formulate and idealize a national agenda to train and mobilize American workers to upscale jobs. Higher paying jobs. Export jobs in new economies and industries. Such that the marginalized US worker sees new export trading opportunities as the answer. Rather than tariffs and walls. To steal what used to be the republican ideologies.
  3. "Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Monday slammed Russia over an alleged nerve agent attack in Britain — going further than the White House in directly calling out the Kremlin as “an irresponsible force of instability in the world.” https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/12/tillerson-russia-nerve-gas-attack-457845 "The United States launched a military strike Thursday on a Syrian government airbase in response to a chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of civilians earlier in the week.... Trump said during short remarks to reporters at Mar-a-Lago, where he ordered the strike just hours earlier. "It is in this vital national security of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons." https://www.cnn.com/2017/04/06/politics/donald-trump-syria-military/index.html I have yet to hear a statement directly from trumps normally big mouth. Assad uses banned weapons to cross a "red line". Sixty tomahawks are sent his way. A NATO ally is attacked...crickets from republicans and trump. Oh and for Tillerson's aforementioned statement, he gets fired.
  4. In the highly unlikely event that I ever feel the need of a firearm for home defense, it will be a 12 gauge shotgun. Couldn't agree more. You don't have to aim particularly accurately, there's less chance of ammunition overpenetrating and, in the case of a pump action, just the sound of racking the slide attracts people's undivided attention. Everyone is forgetting the real reason to use a shotgun for home defense. It precludes surgeons success in sewing up the chest cavity. I precludes the intruder testifying that he had surrendered, was merely asking for directions, etc. when he was shot.
  5. Here, here, just for you Kevin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwfuUyTMpVY I recognize that the consequences of Mr. trump seizing guns, then going to court would upset his supporters. That it appears as if Mueller is now into the Erik Prince, Seychelles meeting. As such his report will likely coincide with midterms. That with this weeks new Florida laws, new midterm democrat representatives overseeing a Mueller report. This year may see the end of trump. But I digress. Gun owners should be able to control their emotions, be stable and slow to anger. Thats why concealed carry and road rage is a dangerous combination. I appreciate your illustrative example as to why unlimited second amendment rights can be dangerous. ....so....are...we still friends!!!
  6. SAD, you profess an opinion about a firearm you own. But as usual, you're wrong. The weight of bullet you use has nothing to do with the chambering or its SAAMI dimensions. Please admit your age to these discussions so amendments can be made to exclude yourself. Together with other AR-15 owners who obviously know nothing about their weapons.
  7. Not quite sure what you mean by that. Shkreli bought the rights to an AIDS drug, and then jacked up the price to the point many could no longer afford it. Not sure how that constitutes "providing". I'd call it 'price gouging.' You know, like the title of the thread. There is a show on TV now titled "Intervention". It deals with addicts and those family members that to a lessor extent enable the addictions. Essentially a meeting takes place and the entire circle of family and friends. Make the case to the addict that if they don't go to treatment, i.e. cold turkey. They will be cut off permanently. Here is a better grasp as to Mr. Shkreli's enablers. The US healthcare industry. Trademark, Pharma, law and profit. https://hbr.org/2016/07/price-gouging-and-the-dangerous-new-breed-of-pharma-companies According to this Mr. Shkreli is merely part of a growing industry. One created by the poor drafting of law by congress and likely lots of pharma lobbying cash. Is there a difference between the greed of the industry, its lobbyists, political enablers and Mr. Shkreli? His crime wasn't the price gouging. Neither trump nor congress has even looked at these issues. Although trump promised: Trump’s abandoned promise to bring down drug prices, explained https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/1/30/16896434/trump-drug-prices-year-one
  8. Everything You Know About Martin Shkreli Is Wrong—or Is It? https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/12/martin-shkreli-pharmaceuticals-ceo-interview Named the most hated man in America. But Hollywood made a movie of stock promoters and boiler room operations. Everyone loved it. Isn't it just how free enterprise is supposed to work? Mr.Jerry Falwell, a leading US televangelist opined that AIDS was ‘God’s judgment on promiscuity.’ That "AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals." Now his son: Evangelical Jerry Falwell Jr. defends Trump: Jesus “never told Caesar how to run Rome” https://www.vox.com/2018/1/26/16936010/evangelicals-jerry-falwell-trump-caesar-rome One man provides drugs to better the lives of AIDS patients and make a profit. The other two men, father and son. Invokes the name of GOD and calls the consequences of AIDS, just and fair punishment. By the way. Jerry Falwell used God's name and teachings from the pulpit as aforementioned. To a net worth of ten billion dollars. A bit unfair?
  9. Maybe so. But in this case he used his lawyers to take advance of her basic human greed, not to bully her. She did not have to take his money. And I'm sure she was handsomely rewarded for her original services as well. There is no reason at all to feel sorry for Stormy. Just as there is no reason to feel sorry for Melania. They both knew what they were getting into. That said, I hope they both find a way to screw him over! 100% Oh come on! There is just a dirty, 65 year old(now 70), pussy grabbing man, who likes blonds with big boobs. He had a contract with Melania, another with Stormy. They both got "considerations!!!". Now more porn stars are coming out and they are pissed because they got kissed, chased by trump in his "tighty whities" and never got any contract, any considerations. Imagine trump under oath, Cohen under oath having to swear to the representations he used his own money. The horror of the presiding judge having to keep a straight face. Stormy's lawyer brings in all the other porn stars to testify about what they heard and saw trump do. The knees of the evangelicals will develop calluses from all the praying on the hard oak pews. Praying for trump! Heck the evangelicals knees will begin to look like the knees of the porn stars...er... those are the lines from the movie. Coming soon.
  10. Its looking to be litigated because Stormy now realized that book and movie rights could be worth some real cash. Her lawyer is likely on contingency. He knows that this is a game to play. IMO Stormy and his lawyer are trying to shake trump down for more cash. The story below illustrates how shakedowns operate. In trump's case a reverse shakedown. "If you've been to California, you've almost certainly seen the Proposition 65 warning. The signs ominously warn, "This area contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm," and they can be found just about everywhere, including airports and Disneyland. According to Bloomberg, "the Council for Education and Research on Toxics needed only to allege that coffee contains trace amounts of one of almost 1,000 Proposition 65 chemicals to pursue its lawsuit." Then, as is so often the case, unscrupulous lawyers use well-intentioned but overly broad laws to shake down innocent companies. Last year alone, Wall Street Journal reports that $25.6 million in cash and prizes were handed out in 681 settlements. Lawyers took home 75% of it. 7-Eleven has already surrendered and forked over $900,000. Starbucks has placed Proposition 65 signs in its store, but they might be required to place the warning directly on cups. If they don't comply, "[f]ines can run up to $2,500 for each cup sold without a proper warning," says Bloomberg." https://www.acsh.org/news/2018/01/29/california-coffee-causes-cancer-and-lawyers-collect-fee-12494
  11. I also thought that would invalidate the contract. However there is a clip on CNN in which Mouth of Sauron II (Trump's former divorce attorney) explains that it doesn't matter, when Stormy Daniels took the $130,000 she accepted the contract as is. Apparently there is a large amount of case law that says you can't have it both ways, taking the money and claiming the contract isn't valid. Only thing I know for sure is the lawyers will make a ton of money off this, and if the objective was to sweep Mango Mussolini's indiscretions under the carpet they have failed spectacularly. I doubt it will make the slightest difference to his "true believers", but at least I have hope that Cohen will be convicted of a felony (illegal campaign donation) and lose his licence to use the law to beat up on non-rich people. Don I watched the same interview. BUT normally a contract is between two, or more parties. Each party is usually identified by name, address and contact numbers. Such that each party to a contract is easily identified. Acceptance of consideration is one argument to fulfillment of a contract. Concealing the identity of contracting parties is a factor to deny that one even exists. In addition the courts won't enforce either unlawful contracts, or ones specifically crafted to violate the law.
  12. Yes, it's left of right-wing extremists. That doesn't make it liberal, any more than being less biased than Brietbart makes FoxNews liberal. Currently about 25% of Americans would ban all guns. Republicans control all branches of government. With those concepts in mind why don't you suggest actual policy rather than Rushmc type responses?
  13. No, it actually isn't. You failed to include the most obvious and necessary step, i.e., reinstating the AWB, and you proposed arming teachers. You're still well right of center. I disagree. Most of those proposals would never fly with hard core NRA loving gun owners. NEVER. Rural America is a long way from accepting anything close to that. I think of farmers and ranchers who teach their kids to hunt and shoot. New gun manufactures would have a Sh**fit.
  14. That could be true. Its certainly part of salesmanship. But for the political leader of any country there is a simpler more direct standard at play. No leader of any other country is going to be shoved around by the USA bully. Just look at Mexico, the meeting this month was cancelled. Enrique Peña Nieto had a "tense" call and the second planned meeting was turfed in less than a year. The Mexican president wouldn't even meet with trump if the wall was up for discussion. Cohen, the Koch editorial, the US FED, all state tariffs are bad.
  15. Ah come-on if you pardon the pun. Even evangelicals are secretly cheering him on. He's doing stuff they only dream about when doing Evangelical business. Away from their wives, watching the pay channels at Motel 6.
  16. Or stealing from a more senior lawyer. That would be a new one. When lawyers can steal from clients with impunity why steal from another lawyer? Likely they would just laugh it off. When there are so many clients to steal from why get sidetracked with distraction? When layers get caught stealing from clients, trust accounts, etc. It typically gets sent off to Law Society disciplinary committees. So a half dozen lawyers sit around a table drinking expensive whiskies all at the expense of sheepish lawyer who was caught. Elaborate stories are concocted, marital problems, gambling addiction, alcoholism,etc. The lawyer is punished by having to repay the stolen funds!! Then he has to repay the law society's disciplinary commentates investigation expenses, i.e. liquor bills. Obviously rehab is needed so the victim, er lawyer gets a 10-20 day suspension of practice. Which coincides with rehab in the Cayman islands. Which coincidentally allows him to check his offshore bank accounts and offshore corporations. When the rehabilitated and now tanned lawyer returns to "practice". The senior partner gives him a bootleg copy of the latest billing software for tracking billable hours. One that automatically adds .25 of an hour, to every hour billed for coffee, bathroom breaks. One that adds .25 of an hour of billable time for each photocopy made. For travel expenses! Now if its a black man, a native Indian,etc. Its off to prison for them. The prosecutors office obviously can't be bothered tying up valuable court time with prosecuting lawyers when 10 grams of weed needs punishment.
  17. Some hunters have whats called trophy rooms. Basically a man cave where all of the mounted trophy's are displayed. About 25 years ago I was in the house of a dentist who had a trophy room. In it was a full size mount of a grizzly bear he had shot. It was about 4' tall. A cub. Absolutely disgraceful. Disgraceful that his guide had allowed him to shoot it. Disgraceful that he had shot it. That a taxidermist had mounted it. That he displayed it.
  18. In the debate on gun control the point is being missed that some gun owners love guns. Ron AFAIK has a concealed carry permit. So he has gone through life without any serious,or any brushes with the law. By the sounds of it he practices with guns. Gun owners like him will not be persuaded by argument relating to his lack of need. A guns danger to others. In addition magazine size restrictions have little sway. The School Shooting Solutions thread is a good start. But the NRA needs to be sat down with. When democrats hold a majority. Then tough deals reached. Many gun owners say that they won't register guns because criminals will still have access to them. The gun regulations and restrictions issue is complex. Furthermore using prisons to solve this issue is short sighted. Marginalized gunmen with grievances need to be identified. But not all will be.
  19. I especially like the bit about Cohen facing disbarment if he claims Trump didn't know about the contract In order to be disbarred a lawyer must be witnessed of child molestation, homicide and treason all on the same occasion.
  20. The Trump administration has quietly decided once again to allow Americans to import the body parts of African elephants shot for sport.... despite presidential tweets decrying the practice as a "horror show."... Trump's two adult sons are trophy hunters. A photo of Donald Trump Jr. holding a knife and the bloody severed tail of an elephant he reportedly killed in Zimbabwe in 2011 has sparked outrage among animal rights activists.... Zinke is also an avid hunter who after arriving at Interior last year ordered the arcade game "Big Buck Hunter Pro" to be installed in the employee cafeteria at the agency's Washington headquarters, a move he said would promote wildlife and habitat conservation. In June, the department removed longstanding protections for grizzly bears near Yellowstone National Park, a step to potentially allow them to be hunted. The Fish and Wildlife Service also quietly began issuing permits in October allowing African lions killed in Zimbabwe and Zambia to be imported.... The world's largest land mammal, the African elephant has been classified as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act since 1979.... demand for elephant ivory has led to devastating losses from illegal poaching as the natural habitat available for the animals to roam has also dwindled by more than half. As a result, the number of African elephants has shrunk from about 5 million a century ago to about 400,000 remaining. And that number continues to decline each year. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/07/trump-administration-once-again-lifts-ban-on-importing-elephant-trophies.html Picture(attachment) of Donald Trump Jr. Holding a trophy souvenir of his hunt.
  21. Problems 1. Privacy and limits to the disclosures of personal, medical, educational records to anyone. 2. Money. The senate and the president have agreed there is a national opioid crisis. Yet not budgeted a cent. They have both stated that guns are not the problem. Neither has stated that school shootings is a problem. 3. Removing weapons from a home, from anyone who has not committed a crime. Flies in the face of the second amendment. In addition the actions of a child or relative could certainly not inhibit a constitutional right of a separate party. Parent or otherwise. Otherwise IMO everything else is on point as stated in OP.
  22. Sold by assassinbug-usa. 100% positive feedback. Oh look, feedback from Mr. Kim c/o North Korean Embassy Washington D.C.
  23. Sometimes I think people should pass a test before they can reproduce. BINGO, unfortunately thats a non starter. A major advantage of a higher age restriction of gun purchases. Is more time to identify dangerous propensities, ideologies of prospective purchasers.
  24. As usual some of the sources of information you frequent change the facts to support a position. These are the FACTS "During his Feb. 22 class, students said, Locke was discussing the debate over teachers carrying guns in schools and two students said he wrote “I have the gun on a board. ” Still, one student became visibly upset by that morning’s class and Locke was called to principal Dennis Perry’s office later that day, where he said his bag was searched. He was placed on administrative leave and ordered to undergo a physical and psychiatric evaluation. http://www.philly.com/philly/education/cherry-hill-east-teacher-timothy-locke-school-shooting-comments-suspension-student-connection-20180303.html So neither he nor his lawyer deny that during the course of a debate in class on arming teachers he wrote that statement on the blackboard. That he is armed.
  25. I'm 100% with you on this. There is so little understanding in the general population as to what mental health is about. For example, how many have heard anyone but politicians talking about solving gun crimes via mental health evaluations? There are schools being built with better entrance and movement control but that doesn't help the other 9 out of 10 and remember that the money needs to come from the locality so any additional work needs to get federal dollars. But not to kick the concept out, remember that the assailant are also students much of the time and know exactly what the school does in a lockdown situation. Right now schools are operating by the big sky concept because there's very little that at school can do if the assailant knows who the security staff is, where they'll be, and where the students will be. These things are over in a 5-10 minutes span and one classroom holds around 25 students. There is no perfect solution. I think you could probably stuff 100 kids into a classroom designed to seat 30. I'm seeing bullet resistant doors for $1500 online. Not sure what else needs to be done for installation or what the costs would be but i'm certain at this point that there needs to be a space where the shooter can't access. Not interested in hearing about how it can't be afforded. It can be part of some federal budget somewhere. What about the time just before class starts, when class lets out, recess, etc.
