@CynicalPublius Yeah, I defended Bush and have come to regret it. 2 problems I had in real time were not firing Rumsfeld and not pardoning Scooter Libby.
It doesn't. But it does cancel the assumption that a couple marrying in a neighboring state are going to bear children that will someday become your surgeon or barber, lawyer or landscaper.
Justice Kennedy waking up on the left side of the bed one morning in 2015 is a bit casual to determine a basic human right. Attempting to reverse it would be unnecessary and foolish for social cohesion but that's the context.
I received my first gun at 10 years old. Bolt action single shot .22 LR. I needed no introduction to it, I had been around rifles all along. I was trusted to operate it independently because of the real and demonstrated threat of severe corporal punishment if I did something stupid and dangerous.
Be honest with me, Americans 🇺🇸
Do you actually own a gun?
In Japan, I have never seen a real one. Not once.
Not at a friend's house. Not in a drawer. Never.
But online, every American just goes
"oh, mine's in the nightstand"
like it's a phone charger 🔌
So now I'm genuinely curious:
What's YOUR gun? The very first one you ever got?
Is this normal everywhere in the US?
Or just some states?
@CynicalPublius Irish Republicans and Ulster Loyalists having common cause after battling each other throughout the Troubles. The UK government may have a difficult time suppressing reprisals, it was a lifestyle for 30 years.
@LeighWolf@FreddyLA7 now zoom out so @time can update current totals to "more than half of the worlds guns" , and "more than 4.5 trillion rounds of of privately held ammunition"
😊
@wil_da_beast630 There's a range of human decency that extends from 6 to 13 weeks of a normal pregnancy. Anything outside that is extreme for a healthy mom and child. The debate always degenerates to zero weeks or daylight in the birth canal. Fucksake.
@MOA_Official1 Job training, depending on the job. The majority of American military enlisted do their 4 or 6 year hitch and get out. It may be a better option than attending university without a goal or major set on entry.
@mehdirhasan@ConorLambPA@malcolmkenyatta You were wrong twice then. The first was that at the time he was elected, he was unfit for office. Now, he is a moderate Democrat, the last of his kind. His views are mainstream and his policies are to the left of where I vote.
@lpnyofficial Libertarians have great elocution.
Too divided to make revolution.
. but they love to rave.
. 'bout things that enslave.
like gambling, drugs and prostitution.
@CynicalPublius Musk maybe the greatest entrepreneur of all time. The team is that good but I could do without SecDef saying the word "lethal". It would be nice if Victor Davis Hanson could do the voice over for the President's pressers as well. Merely stylistic suggestions.
I've seen neither but I'll take the opportunity to criticize the artistic neglect of the Pacific campaign. It takes nothing away from the D-Day to remind Americans that in the summer of 1944 there were 9 Amphib assaults, 8 of them in the Pacific, from Saipan to Peleliu. Imagining the hell that awaits on that beach takes courage. Knowing what awaits from personal experience and proceeding is another level.
@HistoryBoomer Left and Right are relative to region and timestamp. Radical, reactionary. Hitler's anti-Marxism didn't make him a Crown and Cross reactionary. It is an exercise in foolishness to attempt to sanitize one's current political view by an aberration.
