@mail_american @Victorshi2020 The ‘War of the Worlds’ broadcast was a hoax. This is not a hoax because it clearly happened

And there is no proof he declassified anything which is problematic for any number of reasons ranging from illegally stealing docs to dereliction of duty

@LemieuxLGM A way to test this theory could be to contrast how the teams approached the expansion draft with the Kraken.

Did they use a different assessment model to define their protection logic, or did they use the same model but applied a different logic?

@LynnInChicago2 @Marxistin513 @MrDelightful2 War is politics by other means and so too economics. West Point is to a hot war as the LSE is to economic policy.

It would take too much time and effort to highlight why what you wrote is not accurate so I'll just leave it there.

@NPomerantzeff @mattliptoncomic @MattWalshBlog Red Herring (incite vs threaten).

OK, this man threatened people...in what way, shape, or form is killing him justified? Pre-emptive attack, choking him for 15 minutes over multiple stops, told the guy was dying.

Hard to claim self-defense or accidental. That's murder.

@MarkJacob16 @djrothkopf And while I appreciate him giving his base a built-in excuse for why they didn’t get into Cal, don’t be runnin down my Bears.

@edroso This seems like an excellent opportunity to amend whistleblower statutes given this fear for life

Perhaps our friends in the GOP can tell us the specific issues here and work to fix it.

I mean, if it’s so important this should be a priority

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@_EthanGrey @SnarkedUpLawyer I don’t believe they think they are above it so much as they are it’s true embodiment which is how they can justify extrajudicial violence (your point about imposing it)

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@therecount Proud alum, thank you.

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@semaforben @daveweigel @maxwelltani Is that payable to Virtue in US Dollars or hypocrisy?

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@whatscrackinfam @shannoninves @Marxistin513 @Yeti1181 And it didn’t work.

Don’t lose the plot

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@CollinRugg Republicans have zero interest is working with Ds on this issue partly because it’s an issue they use to gin up anger, fear in the base.

Partly because their base would eat them alive for anything that treated immigrants as anything other than sub-human (remember Rubio?)

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@LynnInChicago2 @Marxistin513 @MrDelightful2 Interesting thought.

Economic philosophy is, effectively, government policy.

I do think ‘capitalism’ and ‘socialism’ have been deliberately abstracted so people can yell the latter as a scare word without having to explain horrible policies they want to enact or enable

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@shannoninves @Marxistin513 @Yeti1181 I was going to say there is no way this sort of behavior could survive legal challenge. If it did, it would make any and all liability laws moot which seems like something the courts would take an incredibly dim (to put it mildly) view of.

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@apokerplayer @tzimmer_history I have no idea what the killer’s motives were. The incident, however, has laid bare the right wing fetish for extrajudicial violence in response to what they see as a failing social structure (law & order)

I just described an on-ramp to authoritarianism BTW.

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@FredricMorenius @tzimmer_history @NickCohen4 The correct term is ‘autogolpe’ except it was Jan 6 and it failed

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@GCapital_LLC @nickelkeep @krassenstein Heller is horrible law. Just flat out invented a right of ownership for self defense.

Shows the lie of Originalism

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@CarrilloSigrid @Vanislebabe @krassenstein The reality is that the person who that gun kills is most likely someone in your family

Not a lot of focus on that data set regrettably. Suicide (enables impulsive action), accident, or used by a criminal against the owner

The good guy w/a gun line is a complete myth/lie

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@TeslaAndDoge @krassenstein No. Like, just amazingly ahistorical

The militia is controlled by the gov’t and one of its uses is to put down insurrection.

Given the 2A is inextricably tethered to enabling a militia, it is logically impossible it is also meant to enable armed revolution

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@truthmattersla @krassenstein Trump was only POTUS for 4 years

[SeattleSlew @RunawayServer]

@Jules31415 @krassenstein Bear arms is a military context which makes a ton of sense considering the militia being an animating need for the 2A.

There is a strong argument to be made the 2A is dead letter law given the militia is the NG and that is armed by the gov’t which wasn’t a thing at founding
