If he has ICE and the Guard play "Ride of the Valkyries" as they come into Chicago, with some Blackhawks flying over head, I may lose my shit LOL. It's also quite possible that move could save millions as half the gang bangers self deport.

What Mexican territory have we conquered lately? We bought most of what we have that used to be Mexico. Except Texas, but we didn't exactly conquer that. Basically, imperialism is a no go since WWII. Very few nations have tried it at all. Saddam tried it, and got his ass kicked by the...

We deal with problems. But we don't claim territory. Putin was planning on establishing an independent government in Donbass when he was done, right ? And if they voted to re-join Ukraine, he'd let them, right ?

Isreal literally tried to give Gaza back to Egypt with the rest of the territory after the war. Egypt accepted the rest but *refused* to take Gaza back. I believe the phrase "those assholes are your problem now" was used. Then Egypt proceeded to build a wall that would make the east Germans...

What is it with Russians and their persecution complex. Nobody wants any of that shithole. If NATO decided to wipe the Russian army in Ukraine out to the last man, they still wouldn't claim any Russian territory.

I understand the allure of isolationism. I'd love nothing more than to be able to do it. But the rest of the world (and especially Europe) seems determined to drag us into their bullshit over and over. So, all the people saying "that's their problem stay out of it" are delusional. It's their...

Nobody wants Russia, any more than they want Gaza. They just want the shitweasels running both places to stop attacking their neighbors.

Class action lawsuit in federal court for actual damages.

Yea, tell me again what the difference between those guys and gangbangers is ?

Need a class action suit by all of these closed shops against NYS.

Following the law in NY is like avoiding wearing the wrong color hat if you live in a gang infested neighborhood. You don't do it because it's right. You do it because criminals will victimize you if you don't. Personally, I'll take the gang bangers, they're more reasonable than the NY...

That's the real problem. They'll all talk about how they're protecting society from the bad guys, right up until the bad guys are in their gang, then it's protecting the bad guys from society. Anyone else would have been face down on the floor with a knee on their neck. But that guy they sit...

Malaria used to be one of the top causes of death. Nobody gets it in the developed world anymore, and it's not because there's a vaccine, and mosquitoes DGAF about your superior hygene. They killed off so many mosquitoes that the disease lost it's distribution vector and is practically extinct...

Yes, and it killed off more than insects, arachnids and many other invertebrates. But, it was *very* good at what it did, just a little bit too indiscriminate. But, the point was it was very safe for mammals, so showing spraying the child with it as a "bad idea" was a bit of fear mongering...

To be fair, DDT worked very well. The only real unfortunate side effects was that it killed all the insects, not just the bad ones.

Implementing this is a terrible idea. But forcing the left to mount the legal fight to prevent it could be genius. Pass the law, then let them spend tons of money running it up to SCOTUS and setting precedents that will prevent anything like it in the future. Specifically structure the...

Intercepting a shipment of chemicals from one country to another doesn't really sound like any of the US's business, to be honest. Imagine if Mexico decided to intercept a shipment of gun parts from Austria to the US because some of the guns would end up illegally in Mexico...

Life is still pretty easy for most people. We have some of the most comfortable lives of any humans who have ever existed. There are plenty of injustices, but people see them as isolated incidents. People will put up with a lot of shit if they get to keep their comfortable lives. But there...

Things need to get a lot worse. But widespread door to door confiscations might do it.

The thing about a modern civil war in the US is that it's not a geographical divide. It's ideological, and at most urbal/rural. That means the divide will run right down the middle of most institutions like police and military.

Nobody needs to agree on anything. Needs no central planning at all. Takes about 3% of the population to successfully accomplish something like this. Basically a couple million people independently decide a line has been crossed, and then they independently pick targets of opportunity...

Why would you fight the cops or the national guard or the military ? You just hunt down the people who sent them, and all the people who voted for those guys. You don't fight when they show up at your door at 3am. You don't even fight when you show up at their door at 3am. You just show up...

My how things have changed. When I was in school we had multiple combat vets as teachers. OfC, we didn't have school shootings then either.

I'm sure they were looking for a better life. Selling a few hundred million dollars in drugs would bring most people a better life.

Which is very ironic, seeing as how you can vote yourself into Marxism, but you'll need to shoot your way out.

They're not pussies. They have giant balls to pull the crap they have. It's not a lack of balls. They don't do it because they're all co-conspirators.

I wonder what real federal crimes were committed in the process of this that Trump's DOJ could prosecute people for. When you uncover fraud, you don't just eliminate it, you need to prosecute it.

We're all trapped on this planet so far. Does the logic change when the city gets big, if it also gets crowded ? Technology is making it small. Look at the urge to get away. Half the people on this board just want to get away from other people and live a quiet life left alone. But that's...

Need doesn't enter into it. It's coming whether you like it or not. The alternative to war isn't peace. It's slavery. And religion is just the excuse. Wars aren't fought over religion. They're fought over control of people and resources. Religion is just the tool used to exercise that...

331 people, but 1172 rapes. What does that tell you about "no cash bail".

Not just humans. All mammals. Nearly all animals. Even the B in LGB that stands for "bisexual" recognizes that there are only 2.

"...attacked a local man with a machete in a previous attack". The blood of this father is on the hands of the people who let this psycho back out after the first attack.

We all know that in the past people would have gotten a pass on many of those crimes if they involved the right speech. This is un-doing that. Threats *should* be punished. You *shouldn't ever* have gotten a pass because you were burning a flag instead of a cross. It has been fashionable on...

What did the EO actually say ? I'm not going to get wound up about what the media claims it says. A quick skim of the actual order doesn't seem to be anywhere near what the media claim it is. It acknowledges that on it's own burning a flag is a protected activity. But when conducted as part...

Unless they are going to compensate him for all he's been through, then the process was the punishment.

There should just be one season. The whole (and only valid) reason for seasons for hunting is to manage the harvest and thus the population. The deer population isn't affected one iota by the method used to harvest a deer. The population dynamics are identical if you have to jump on it's...

The first step is recognizing that not all of the letters of the alphabet are valid genders. In fact, LGB aren't genders at all, and nobody claims they are. They are sexual orientations. Nearly everyone agrees that Lesbians are women. Being a woman is a necessity criteria to be a lesbian...

It *will* be cheaper to make things in the US after this. Cheaper than it used to be to make them in the US anyway. Economies of scale and all, the more stuff we make here, the cheaper it is to make stuff here. Maybe not quite as cheap as it is to make them in China. But, the whole point of...

If he wanted to really protect them, he would take the fact that gun ownership is a federally protected civil right serioualy and have the DOJ prosecute *any* state or local officials who violate it. There's even a special federal statute to use when that is done "under color of law". Don't...

"You'd say that right to my face ?" Al Bundy: "I'd say it behind your back, but my car's only got a half a tank of gas."

So, only a jury of your peers gets to decide, and only after all due process for a criminal conviction. That's about the only thing I would accept. And even then, only for the duration of your incarceration.
