I’d never had a gun before I joined the army After I got out I was shocked to learn gun without a safety were a thing. Still just seems insane to me even though I get why they don’t.

Well…said

The apparatus should face justice as well as be evaluated. I could argue the electoral college system had one useful trait and that was to be a hedge against populist politicians. In this event that system has been shown the be ineffective. A political party has been able to weaponize stupidity against our nation.

lol listening to NPR news talk about this was fascinating. They only provided the facts, but they definitely were emphasizing words. The reaction to this tid bit from the interviewer had so much in it “Really, Fascinating” but she somehow said that in a tone that really said “oh! he’s fucked”. The announcement of the indictment was “Trump has been indicted, AGAIN” in a tone that basically said, “really dude how many laws did you fucking break?”

He absolutely would not have a point here. She would not face these sorts of consequences regardless for the same reason Pence, Biden, Bush, and numerous others have not. When it was discovered they may have had confidential information they and were asked and they immediately began cooperating with officials. Not so for Trump. In addition the type and scale of that classified information is in a class all its own in this case. You cannot use an past events for comparison in this case because it is completely unprecedented the disregard for law and the norms is on a whole different level from anything that has come before it.

Why don’t you tell me what communism means to you. You can’t really communicate ideas if you don’t speak a common language.

Boris Epshteyn

This is prime example of my point.

Just so you know, we like communists (mostly, we are communists), we’re generally OK with socialists

Your statement reveals you have no knowledge of the subject or ideals you claim to believe in. Communism is a process in which to establish a Socialist utopia. It was conceived by Marx based on the Machiavellian quote “The ends justify the means.” and was laid out in the Communist Manifesto. It is a militant process in which to implement SOCIALISM by force. I am guessing you are a fan of how things worked out in China?

I think they are failing to emphasize the novel method Ukraine used to attack. Using submersible drones. Ukraine has been trying to build a drone navy.

They simultaneously love and hate communists, socialists, fascists, “the left”, “The FAR Left”, nationalist, and liberals. While simultaneously seeming to not know what any of those things actually are. They do seem to be steadfast in their unity as far as using America as a scapegoat for all the worlds problems including all of Americas problems as though all of America is a single entity running the world both with ruthless efficiency and complete incompetence at the same time.
