Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.
Government: Let's try not dying en masse.
Most people: Yeah, sounds good.
The "good times" crowd: Tyrannical Oppression!!!
Pete Hegseth should be banned from Europe.
What sort of vile cunt goes to a D-Day commemoration and starts spouting Fascist rhetoric?
He lacks all qualifications.
He lacks any intelligence.
He lacks any class.
Stupid. Alcoholic. Twat.
@T_Whiz@ArchMonkFritz@USCons_Amend_II I'm talking about the original intent, and how it was enforced. Yes, modern Federal law is completely broken, and in many cases violates the Constitution on a fairly regular basis.
Whether he's pardoning men who smuggled 400 tons of cocaine into the United States, men who defrauded Medicare for billions, or men who were convicted of insider trading, Trump has made a mockery of the presidential pardon, and future laws will have to change because of him.
If you think I’m trashing MAGA (whatever that is now) I really am sorry. I know for certain there are millions of Americans who voted for Donald Trump that love this country and love their neighbors and love their families and struggle and succeed and fail just like me and you and everyone. And I don’t begrudge them their political affiliation in any way. I just abhor the hate. The meanness for the sake of being mean. No matter where it’s coming from. I’m not your enemy man. I’m really not. They’re trying to get us to fight among ourselves while they pick our pockets and piss on our legs and tell us it’s raining. I’m not doing that to you and I sure as hell know you’re not doing that to me. What could we possibly gain by hating each other as they walk off with all the food on the table. We can disagree with each other without hating each other. We just all need to break the algorithm man. It’s so much more fun finding a reason to love someone than it is finding a reason to hate them.
The Christianity being put on display by Erika Kirk, Franklin Graham, William Wolfe, etc., is not the Christianity of Jesus.
It’s White cultural power dressed up as faith.
Don’t let them fool you.
@ArchMonkFritz@USCons_Amend_II Federal inspections were for the organized militia, the disorganized militia (IE volunteers) was inspected by state and local officials.
MAGA Republicans claim that electronic ballots are hackable, and thus rigged while simultaneously complaining that paper ballots are too slow to count, and thus rigged.
They just don't like elections.
@ArchMonkFritz@USCons_Amend_II Nope, it's significantly smaller than most people realize, being as most people believe it's "Everyone, moron" when it isn't, and never has been.
"Lots of laws" no, but regular inspections were required, not just of the weapons, powder, and shot but also the location it's stored.
@WarHorseTac@USCons_Amend_II I will admit to having no personal knowledge of owning firearms in California. I don't trust the Rockies, they're still in their rebellious phase.
That being said, I've handled grenade launchers, and full-auto weapons of most common calibres.
I knew a guy who did the paperwork.
Trump has just destroyed the US beef industry. No country in their right mind is going to import US beef.
After Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs, the dangerous flesh-eating parasite has been found in US cattle for the first time since 1966.
@ArchMonkFritz@USCons_Amend_II "Nope. Even Congress agreed, it's everyone. Moron."
Then proceeds to post US codes clearly classifying that it is in fact not everyone.
Cool story bro.
@WarHorseTac@USCons_Amend_II Oh, agreed, but that's why most militias aren't formed. You actually have to do paperwork, and prove your militia is well regulated, which is beyond what most are willing to do.
@WarHorseTac@USCons_Amend_II State and National Guards are not, nor have they ever been, a replacement for the militia. The reason militias fail to form is quite simple, people attempting it refuse to be regulated in any form. I know people who have all the toys, they just file the correct paperwork.
