  1. Just wait till SCOTUS issues its decision on whether there's a Constitutional right to concealed carry, scheduled for oral argument in November.
  2. It's not like we're the only country in the world whose people suffer from mental illnesses.
  3. Oh, I don't know. Seems to me Flattie has achieved his goal. There's been little to no discussion of how the GQP has gone in on Replacement Theory for pages.
  4. He probably saw Black people at the game. And, well, just assumed they were welfare queens blowing their government checks and selling their Obama phones to see a game.
  5. I think it will be either Mike or Maryanne. Both have hidden immunity idols, so they'll both make Final 4. Then at least one of them will make Final 3--most likely they'll make fire against each other and whoever makes fire will win the whole thing.
  6. In case anyone doubted the cruelty is the point, you'll drive it home with false caricatures of welfare queens to deflect from all the practical realities of the punitive policies you support. Meanwhile, you've deflected for at least an entire page from the party you support propagating Replacement Theory.
  7. No. We're going to talk about how the party you support wants to take away her right to choose, is fine with her five kids not having access to adequate food or healthcare, and wants to gut the education her kids are going to receive.
  8. If the last six years have taught me anything, it's that I know who among my friends and family would have turned me and mine in to the Nazis.
  9. Y'all are panicky for believing we might do what we say we'll do, and I don't support the stuff the people I vote for say they're going to do anyway, but I'll just attack the people who are against the stuff I don't really support.
  10. So you agree the GQP House reps are crazy people? The third highest ranking GQP in the House is pushing replacement theory. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/16/us/politics/elise-stefanik-replacement-theory.html
  11. Every accusation is a confession.
  12. I just found it creepy.
  13. What in the actual fuck. I can't even accept a free drink from an old coworker/friend who happens to be a vendor because of ethics rules. But fake millionaires at the highest levels of government can take million dollar bribes.
  14. Which is the point. The cruelty is the point. As is wrecking government institutions. What better way than to make contracts with the government completely unreliable.
  15. Meanwhile, on the GQP side in PA, And this won't move the needle at all.
  16. The weekend's not over yet.
  17. This is the NY statute on making a terroristic threat. It has to be a specified offense with reasonable expectation of imminent commission of the offense. None of the reporting so far suggests that 11 months ago, he was guilty of making a terroristic threat such that he should have been arrested at that time, and would have been convicted and sitting in prison 11 months later. S 490.20 Making a terroristic threat. 1. A person is guilty of making a terroristic threat when with intent to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion, or affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping, he or she threatens to commit or cause to be committed a specified offense and thereby causes a reasonable expectation or fear of the imminent commission of such offense. 2. It shall be no defense to a prosecution pursuant to this section that the defendant did not have the intent or capability of committing the specified offense or that the threat was not made to a person who was a subject thereof. Making a terroristic threat is a class D felony. I hope he rots in prison. But the solution to gun violence and hate crimes isn't more mass incarceration. And there's nothing to suggest that even had he been arrested 11 months earlier, anything would have been different yesterday. This is a sideshow from the utter lack of reasonable gun control measures and the huge rise in hate crimes in this country, which have been spurred on by the GQP and Fox News, among others. Edit to add: There's also no reason to believe that the Buffalo PD, which threw an elderly man down during a Black Lives Matter protest, would have had any interest in actually trying to prevent white nationalist terrorism anyway.
  18. Vague threats are not a crime. To be convicted of threatening a crime, the threat has to be specific. It's rich that your answer on how to prevent this is that a 17 year old should have been locked up for at least 11 months on a thought crime. But you haven't said anything about him being amped up to commit this crime by white wing media So throwing a 17 year old in prison for years over nonspecific threats is Constitutional, but doing a background check to stop the kid when he turns 18 from possessing weapons is a Second Amendment violation. This country has lost its goddamn mind.
  19. Arrested on what charges? We aren't in Minority Report yet.
  20. From a neighboring district:
  21. A million times this. I think my ignore list consists of Ana and Sack. Ana adds nothing to the conversation and feels the need to spam the board with pointless responses to every single post.
