What I find fascinating is the total number of numbskulls and cartoon villains, all collected under the Trump banner, and that lunatic mob may very well take government.

What’s the hell wrong with American voters?

Never said he was. The constitution doesn’t have categories of importance.

That excellent quote of the text you provided spells out that any modifications to a gun that allows any more than a single shot is to be prohibited. A court that is very big on textual meaning, as it purports to be, would readily agree, unless bias is in the driver’s seat.

This conservative supreme court despised regulatory agencies . For decades the US government has relied upon such agencies as subject experts and has allowed them to regulate their areas. This court just wants to reverse this common sense and established way of doing things. I might remind you that the bump stock thing wasn’t a democrat initiative, but a bipartisan Trump one.

I disagree with the accuracy of what you just said, but 100% agree with your sentiments.

I actually looked up the legalisation one time. Congress described a machine gun and gave all the definitions that were forbidden to alter it to make it automatic fire. It was pretty comprehensive, particularly given that it was written in the 80s. However this supreme court said that the magic words ‘bump stock’ wasn’t in the legalisation. Words that didn’t even exist until 2003, or thereabouts. The court ignored the legislative text completely.

And I don’t believe that you are a gun nut at all. You seem perfectly reasonable and make a good point.

I think that arresting a Supreme isn’t going to happen. For a start the legal machinations and appeals will take at least two years. But, a subpoena is at least fighting back, and a threat. What is the alternative? Hand wringing?

The Conservatives wake up each and every day actively trying to destroy the American republic. Do you think that overturning Roe was just luck? That was a 25 year process. I’m not advocating violence, but just not taking it when your balls get stomped. There are shocking things that can be done. Boosting the bench to overcome the current bias, bringing in terms limits, and subpoenas for corruption. The subpoena won’t necessarily lead to impeachment or arrest, but it will bring out every little dirty detail in public. Do you think that’s not a threat to a dirty bench?

Not so, I believe that Steve Bannon is going to the lockup for ignoring his in a week or so. I don’t fancy that the supremes will want to risk that. It just takes will to apply the law. That’s it.

Of course, the Dems will huff and puff and do nothing.

I’m not calling the insurrectionists good people, I’m calling the defenders of the constitution who might catch an AR 15 round good people.

Subpoena them one by one and confront them about specific issues. For instance Thomas and all those billionaire friends who keep dropping money in his lap. Congress committees have the power to do this.

Let sunlight into the dirty little acts of corruption and impeach. Hit them instead of just complaining all the damn time. Also, six or seven year term limits. Then every single president will get a chance to appoint a couple and the bench makeup will be more balanced.

I guess my point is not that they’ll necessarily be successful, it’s more that a great many good people won’t go home to their families that night.

They weren’t successful last time and the Republican Congress welcomed the traitor-in-chief back to DC last week as a hero.

The Republicans get away with so much despicable action and each time the Dems get pants by the audacity of the attempt. That’s how we are here now.

The conservatives will try absolutely anything, up to and including armed insurrection. Now with AR15s, and probably with bumpstocks fitted.

Don’t think that it could never happen. The MAGA element love being underestimated.

In a way, he is. He’s now claiming that black people will relate to him now as he is a fellow victim of systemic judicial persecution.

It’s exactly as it sounds. Like she is trying to strangle a rooster.

I’ll be watching with baited breath alright. It will be a show. One of them might actually die on stage. That’s not even the least spectacular thing that could happen.

There are several photos floating around from different angles, whites dominant. Just do a search.

The alternative that you are seemingly trying to avoid is that the Trump organisation is terrible at staging.

Taking your point seriously, are you suggesting that Blacks would do better under Trump and the GOP? I mean, they just spent the last 3.5 years blocking each and every Dem initiative?

The Republicans shove a stick in the spokes and when the bike crashes they blame the Dems?

I’m not even American, so have no skin in the game, but the American Kabuki theatre is open for anyone to watch. Plus, it’s way better than Netflix.

No, it’s more that it is another obvious failed attempt at exploiting an image. Remember all those white folk holding placards saying “Blacks for Trump” at rallies? Or, holding a bible (upsidedown) after he stormed a protest to a church (putting his secret service detail in a sweat).

You need to take a peek at what’s going on beyond the projection. It’s pretty obvious.

I have to inform you that that US has some of the best spy satellite networks on the planet.

People shocked that other countries play the spook game too is amazing.

The country that makes ALL your shit has nothing to fear in a trade war. Unless you want to forgo ALL your shit?

Who would have thought that sending all those jobs overseas to increase company profits and depress wages would have a downside?

Welcome to Marx 101.
