That poor poor dog.

2028 is a long ways out. She may be aiming for that, but there's a lot of stuff that will happen between now and then to think anyone is anything more than another contestant.

Sounds like my sister, but she stayed in NY. My father mainlines CNN and votes the way you would expect after that, but he's lived here in AZ for 50 years.

We can hope.

EOs can't make law. But they do tell federal agencies how to interpret and enforce them. An EO stating that the ATF, FBI, DOJ, etc are interpret the federal laws appropriately would mean that they would take the narrowest possible interpretation (as opposed to the widest). That also means...

AZ does not follow the pattern of other states. Phoenix is our largest city, and it went for Trump. Tucson is more "old hippies" and votes accordingly, but still not like a Rochester, Buffalo, or Syracuse. You're not wrong that national pain will be felt here, but it's amazing how much less...

It's true, but they are largely conservatives escaping. Just like I came from NY and am not about to start voting Dem, lots of the CA escapees are well aware of what they are running from too. But, it *is* slowly dragging us leftward.

She may be waiting him out from Levanworth

He could throw is a bone with something vague. Even a "you should expect to start seeing some arrests by July" would go a long way.

You're not wrong, but if moving buys be a couple decades more freedom then it was easily worth it. And whether NY is eventually forced kicking and screaming to drop their totalitarian shtick, or if they eventually "California my Arizona", either way I will probably get a decade or two of...

We can only hope that it is a giant wake up call for the people here.

Many of us did. The most expedient solution was to GTFONY.

This is why prices are complicated. The recession fears are fueling a drop in oil prices. Cheaper oil will lower the price of nearly everything.

FWIW, checked back and this seems like it's still percolating through the system. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68262309/united-states-v-emmanuel-ayala/

Doesn't matter where the actual oil goes. As many have pointed out, it's a fungible resource. Even if Russia can only sell oil to China, that's less oil China will buy from someone else, so it *still* affects the global price. That's why Trump is proposing to tariff anyone who even buys...

They should tell all the employees that they need to figure out if they're useful or not. Then resign if they aren't, and if they guess wrong they'll be prosecuted. Just like they do for us with taxes.

The problem is that's easy to say. But "don't let anyone hit you" is a lot harder.

Who was it that said "There is nothing so permanent as a temporary government program" ?

My truck identifies as a low flying aircraft. Speed limits don't apply to aircraft.

Either jail them for driving without it. Or eliminate the entire system. Quit pretending.

JFK wasn't wrong. But what when that obligation doesn't comport with the "success of liberty" ? Are you arguing that we should have opened a can of whup-ass on Russia in eastern Ukraine to honor our Budapest memorandum obligations ? I thought you were of the opposite opinion there ?

Yes, and absolutely everyone saw the cold war coming from a decade away. That's just how that stuff works. It's just like partnerships with mega corporations. They aren't friends, they don't trust each other. Everyone knows the partnership lasts just as long as it benefits everyone. You...

I'm sure they murdered it for it's own safety.

We've tried that, many times. Sometimes you need to go to the sledge hammer.

They could have kept it all legal and still pocketed billions. But, I bet after decades of getting away with it they will have gotten sloppy and they will have moved from merely unethical into blatantly illegal for a lot of it. They will have forged some progress report, or lied about a...

Nothing short of indictments and convictions will do.

The communists currently in control invaded *China* in just the last century. They also invaded Vietnam Korea Tibet Burma India And Russia They're not *good* at invading their neighbors, but it's not for a lack of trying. Seriously, what ridiculous sources do you get your history from ?

And they want to raise corporate taxes so that they "pay their fair share", and they swear that will come out of profits and not be passed on to consumers. When you point out that tarrifs *are* corporate taxes, because nearly everything that get imported is imported by a corporation, suddenly...

The singular for allies is ally. And you are assuming that any countries are just "trusting" you if you are allies. Remember, we have spies in the governent if every ally we have right now, and everyone knows it, and they all have spies here too. And we interfere in their elections and they...

OP, please correct the title. There is a world of difference between Adam Baldwin and Alec Baldwin.

Since the squirrel was a youtube star the owners should sue over the lost wages....

Lol, countries are not friends. Alliances only last as long as both sides see a benefit.

Whichever is in our interest to back.

No, they just plan to buy everything. There are more ways to build an empire than just martial conquest.

Damn, I went to check the auction prices to see if they might be better. Who the hell is paying this much ? https://cmpauction.thecmp.org/detail.asp?id=9142&n=Remington-Model-700-S6528439

Let me know when they include M2s or MK19s

Both Russia and Iran have imperialist ambitions. China too. All are held in check by the presence of US power. And it would be absolutely a disaster for US interests if any of them were able to get what they want. One of Trump's greatest strengths as POTUS is that our enemies fear him. He...

All of life is a balance. You need to balance the risk of getting caught with a gun you're not allowed to have against the risk of needing a gun you left behind.

We have a long history of attempting an isolationist policy. It never ends well. Because imperialist regimes never stop. and eventually they will take something you can't ignore.

It shouldn't, but you hear all the time about government officials resigning after getting caught, and then the prosecutors just forget about the crime. Everyone from individual police officers up to governors.

Nobody should be allowed to retire their way out of an indictment.

How about Isreal ? You don't think Iran would nuke Isreal? You think we can just sit back and ignore it if *that* happens ? You need to look a few steps ahead. There are things they very well might do that will set in motion a chain of events that absolutely *will* drag us into a shit show...

You think there are no consequences to the US if Iran gets nukes ? The country who's national slogan is "death to America" gets nukes, and you don't think that could present a problem for us ? How short sighted can you be ?

Politicians like to drag out wars as long as possible by trying to keep everything "proportional". They look at war as diplomacy by other means. They look at the fighting itself as a goal by which they can gain personal power and riches. And that always turns into a shit show. See Vietnam...

What could we lose if Iran gets nukes ? Preventing that is what we gain.

There's an entire century and two world wars that prove we can't just "not my circus" our way out of the European shit show.

Can you just stay in a hotel outside of DC and leave the guns in the hotel safe while you are sightseeing ? DC is very small, doesn't seem like you should actually have to stay *in* the city just to see it. Unless you are actually staying with someone who lives in DC, that would be my plan.

Unless you're in the bottom 40%. Then you likely got a "refund" of money you never paid.

Whatever you tax you discourage. Taxing income discourages prosperity. We should only tax things we want to reduce.

The solution to that is to realize that "common use" doesn't exclude police or military either. If every cop carries them, then they are in common use, even if nobody else does.
