I am beyond tired of “live and let live” when it comes to the religious right, when its influence negatively impacts the world so clearly, and its hunger for complete global subservience seems to never end.

These people are FREAKS! It is literally a death cult, and its cultists are in charge of more than half the country! They belong in communes in the wilderness of Montana, not ruling the most powerful culture in human history. Not with their hands on the nuclear football and giving orders to 11 Carrier Battle Groups.

Everyone should sever all ties with bible-thumpers. They need to either give up their delusions or be excised from civilization.

It’s not about shame, it’s about being able to hurt people they don’t like under any pretense and get away with it.

I don’t want politics to be a 4chan-esque game of trolling. “Orange man bad” “lolcow” Are you even old enough to vote?

This is a foot in the door for using the mechanisms of criminal psychiatry to brutalize opposition, not a joke.

Openly using prisoners as slave labor (more flagrantly and abusively than is already normal practice) is part of a later phase. They don’t have the political capital for it yet. They don’t care about the waste, it’s our money they’re squandering, not theirs.

That ruling is about forced reset triggers, which absolutely replicate automatic fire in all but our pedantic definition of machine gun. I got dragged a bit on another thread for suggesting that they are effectively machine gun conversion devices the same as a DIAS or a Glock switch. People saying that these triggers “only help you shoot slightly faster and aren’t even close to what a machine gun can do.”

See for yourself and be your own judge.

The Heritage Foundation and its members are “effectively” agents of Israeli foreign intelligence and should be treated as the spies they are.

FRTs and Super Safeties make the gun go cyclic or very close to it, period. If I’m being generous that rifle was shooting at ~600 RPM, most shooters can only maintain 200-250 on semi auto.

You are either seeing something completely different to what I am seeing or you are lying.

just let you pull the trigger slightly faster

No.

For those that don’t know, forced reset triggers (and the later “super safeties”) are quite essentially machine gun conversion devices in all but our narrow techno-legal definition of a machine gun. Much more straightforward to use than bump stocks or crank triggers are. Any sane government would have pulled these off the market immediately and arrested anyone who distributed them. Instead the ATF approved them for sale and then walked it back after the fact, hence this legal battle.

Militia prepper types are basically saying the use case for these is for squad-level fire support, the same way militaries use machine guns. But then they’ll gaslight you and say it isn’t a machine gun, but also all machine guns should be unregulated.

If this were a Democrat as President, we’d be seeing impeachment, and not just “critics say”

A Democratic president would be facing impeachment votes at every opportunity regardless of what they did. The MAGA party (formerly the Republican party) is no longer a legitimate political movement in the confines of rules and norms. They are a rogue fascist element that seeks the seizure of total power as quickly as possible. They are at war with all of us and they are winning, in part because the mainstream refuses to act like we are at war.

I looked up my example afterwards. It was actually x-ray based, so they wouldn’t actually need to expose the device for it to work, and it would have feasibly fit in a van.

The two accomplices were also KKK members and they seemed more focused on killing random Muslims with it and going for Obama was more of an aspiration. But as delusional morons do, they overextended and got multiple undercover agents involved in their plot before they actually did any harm.

Fun fact they actually foiled a plot on Obama where the guy was building some sort of microwave-based “death ray.” He was going to mount it inside a panel van.

Yes field offices are a thing, but DC likely houses the most senior analysts and leadership. When Kash says that the JEH office “isn’t safe” I’m inclined to believe he isn’t strictly lying, but that he’s omitting what he’s trying to keep his goons safe from.

And the deportation effort desperately needs bodies. The FBI is already waist deep in that. If you’ve ever seen photos or footage of these immigration arrests it’s alphabet soup: FBI, ATF, DEA…

1. He wants them spread out so it’s harder to hold them physically accountable.
2. Why keep them in a DC office when they could be beating the pavement and hurting brown people with ICE?

Many Americans will simply go without and let their teeth rot due to the cost.

In the absence of legal protections, there is still no benefit of talking to police, even in the face of torture. Thugs have already made the decision to hurt you by the time they pull you off the street, nothing you say will convince them otherwise, and everything you say will be twisted to justify their behavior.

His responses were brilliant - and I’m taking note

No. Never talk to police.

Fleeing to a non-extradition country like Assad did.

Countries like Qatar, Brazil want to host the games for the prestige and the affinity for the sport.

US Republicans don’t give a shit about “soccer.” Being the brilliant dealmakers they are, they probably want FIFA to pay them.
