I think Musk and DOGE were the last chance to fix the deep state without violence. At this point it's just a matter of waiting to see whether I die before we see what an American version of the French revolution looks like, or we just end up in an Orwell novel.

He thinks his high school geography teacher is full of shit, let alone the FBI. Not that *I* trust the FBI as far as I can throw them. Have you seen the people openly admitting they're directly defying Trump's lawful orders.

You cannot solve the problem of assholes at your range by adding stupid rules. The only correct solution is to remove the assholes and keep the rules reasonable.

I always assumed midnight hammer happened because there was credible intelligence that Iran was going to finish the enrichment and build a bomb soon. Once that happens a lot of options for containing them permanently close, so that is absolutely something you need to prevent. I think Midnight...

The Jews killed Charlie to keep him from exposing the location of the secret staircase to the bottom side where they secretly run the world from.

History will not remember him kindly for that. Ironically by concentrating on his legacy, he is guaranteeing it will be seen very badly.

The line between a drone and a cruise missile is *very* blurry.

You need a better range.

But when you leave the agency to investigate itself, it doesn't matter what evidence there is. They need an agency who's sole jurisdiction is investigating government employees, and who does that with the zeal of the DEA eyeing asset forfeiture.

They're all either incompetent or feigning incompetence. It's hard to embezzle money from a well run enterprise, incompetence is the white collar criminals best friend.

So, the complete net worth of all the billionaires in the world is about $20T, and the US national debt is almost $40T today. But we can tax our way out of that, I'm sure.

I'm with you. But without *some* mechanism to enforce voting eligibility that doesn't rely on basically a pinky swear the integrity of the election can't be trusted either.

I still want to see a conservative state adopt the NY pistol permit process verbatim, but swap it for voter registration. Then let the left spend themselves silly getting it overturned, and then throw their arguments back at them in NY for the pistol permits.

I don't believe it allows for minimal regulation. I think it's quite clear, it doesn't allow for any regulation at all. "Minimal" regulation is still an infringement. And we all know that "minimal" is the camels nose in the tent. The definition of "minimal" will always be "slightly more...

So, an IRGC command post then ? It's not like civilians would be in charge of a nuclear plant in Iran.

Next thing you know they'll talk about the xenophobia in War of the World's, because America wouldn't accept the asylum seekers who just wanted a new life.

Or, NJ doesn't appeal it because they know they'll lose and they don't want to make that ruling apply nationwide.

IIRC the feature based bans got started because the named weapons bans were already ruled against because they were arbitrary. "This gun is banned if these guys make it, but this other company can make an identical one and it's not banned" was not defensible even without a 2A argument.

Hamas uses child soldiers. That means children will get killed. They hide their war material and troops in with children and that gets more of them killed. Launching your missiles from the roof of an occupied hospital is a war crime. Bombing that missile launcher is not. Hamas hides in...

If they are not just another wing of the Iranian military, then where do they get all their weapons and funding ?

I was hopeful that we might be done by mid July, but far from confident. The clock is ticking for the midterms, and it looks now like there's no way this will be wrapped up in time to not have a detrimental effect there. Time will tell where and when this ends. I think one thing that *is*...

If it's really a forever war, you'd have a point. But a couple months is a bit early to declare that. And in some sense, this might be the beginning of end of a forever war that's been going on sonce 1979. If that works out, it'll be a very good thing. It does look like it's going to drag on...

Texas ? By that theory, NY is British. The other stuff ? It's been American a lot longer than it was ever Mexican. Mexico took it from Spain and only held it for a couple decades themselves before it was ours. Spain took most of Mexico from the Aztecs, who themselves slaughtered a bunch...

NY too apparently

Their society is borderline communist (in the commune way, not the totalitarian state way), they have very little respect for the idea of ownership.

That's because the rest are trying to get rich. Musk's already there.

Seems like felony perjury at least is a slam dunk. Nail him on that and work on more charges once he's behind bars. It will, in the very least scare the other roaches shitless and make them easier to identify.

This is one of the few things where NY is better than AZ. Deer are sparse out here compared to NY, and the demand by hunters is high enough that they have to do a lottery for deer tags. It's not terrible where I am, but you're not guaranteed a tag (or 3) like we were in NY.

I'm not sure you want the filibuster gone. But it absolutely needs to not be the casual bullshit it has become. When I was a kid a filibuster meant an actual senator had to stand up in chambers and talk 24/7 and nothing else got done until it was over. It doesn't need to be gone, but it...

Yea, low background steel has been a thing for several decades now. Basically it's cheaper to salvage a shipwreck from WWII than it is to make "clean" steel now. In certain processes it's absolutely critical. Eventually they'll run out of old steel, and then someone's going to have to make a...

I'm guessing that means the plan is proceeding as expected.

And the Sunnis hate the Shias and they fight like cats and dogs. Doesn't mean they're not both Muslims who's beliefs overlap 99.99%.

Ahh, if it doesn't support your thesis and come from a flat earther website then it's "paid shills". But when it's written in Beijing and handed down to your favored propagandists then it's the gospel truth. Got it. So, what I don't get is how you can see so clearly when the media lies about...

You don't actually know what a war crime is do you ? Hint: The rules are not the same as civilian self defense. Even if you are the loser it's not a crime. The Germans weren't prosecuted for bombing London.

They do it because it works. If people like you didn't buy it hook line and sinker and basically lobby for Hamas, then they wouldn't use the innocents as human shields. Quite literally it's your mentality that's causing many of the civilian casualties.

That's how you win a war. You keep killing the enemy until they stop fighting. That doesn't change just because the enemy tries to camouflage themselves with civilians. Or, do you think we won WWII by singing Kumbaya and forming a drum circle ?

You said it.

Yea, anything that conflicts with your dogma must be lie. It's like a religion with you. https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/11/01/hamas-officials-admit-its-strategy-is-to-use-palestinian-civilians-as-human-shields/

Congratulations, the militant just grabbed the hidden rifle and shot you in the back.

Hamas admits it freely, why wouldn't you believe them ?

So, they just get to attack Isreal all they want and Isreal can't do anything back because Hamas don't wear uniforms ? How would you deal with them if you were in charge in Isreal ? Just commit mass suicide so as not to offend the Palestinians ?

And you think Hamas wear uniforms so you can identify them ? They intentionally force their own civilians into danger because it gets sympathy from morons in the west when they get killed. So, congratulations, *you* are the reason innocents are killed in Gaza in such large numbers. So, tell...

It's a war. Tens of thousands are going to die. That's not a crime. It's only a crime if you target civilians, not if they are merely collateral damage from a legitimate military target. The rampant perfidity from Hamas makes basically every structure in Gaza a legitimate target. But, when...

OK, now do it for a radar guided MK19. Throw that on top of a tank and I dare a drone to try to get close LoL.

Don't ask where the Aztecs got it. There's a reason that every other tribe in the area sided with the Spanish. "These new guys want to force us to convert to their religion !!!" "Sure, but at least they don't demand we turn over our children for them to sacrifice every year".

When IDF soldiers commit crimes they are prosecuted and imprisoned if found guilty. Hamas holds literal parades where their rape squads display the naked bodies of their victims like trophies. They are not the same. Has an IDF Soldier Ever Been Convicted of Manslaughter? - The Israel...

Isreal literally tried to give Gaza back to Egypt at the end of the 6 day war along with the rest of the territory they had taken. Egypt took the rest but *refused* to take Gaza back. *Nobody* wants Gaza. If it was a radioactive wasteland it would be more desirable property than it is...

Why is it always Isreal that's blamed when they had as nearly as long of a border with Egypt ? And is it unreasonable to stop them from shipping in rockets and components when their stated goal is to kill everyone in your country, and they prove they mean it daily ?

Maybe because everyone who's ever offered to take palestinian refugees has regretted it. Here's a quick list, just off the top of my head. Jordan took some. They murdered the king and tried to overthrow the government. Kuwait took some. They sided with Iraq during the invasion. Egypt took...
