No, it's not. But it is irrational to believe that any limits or regulations on guns will always and ultimately lead to confiscation of all guns followed by serfdom in a world where liberal elites jam their ill conceived socialist agenda down our throats. I have no problem being denied AR-15's with high capacity magazines that I can convert to full automatic. I have no need for one and further believe the reason I don't need one is because they'll never need me for the militia as long as we have our fancy Trillion Dollar a year Army. I also don't believe that limitation will further develop into a situation where my shotguns are confiscated and the gophers get the upper hand. I have zero problem with people like you who are trained and have vast experience with military weapons owning what you want. You're only a part of the problem because you fear the camels nose.

Nope. It speaks to the excellence of irrational fear as a marketing tool.

With this: "That said, with rights come duties. If one is going to own boomsticks, I believe that one must demonstrate the ability to handle them safely and responsibly." you effectively place yourself left of center on guns. With this: "Unfortunately, I see an eerie parallel between the championing of gun-owner's rights with those of illegal aliens." You once again peg the WTF-o-meter on number 9. With this: "Obammy's" you simply once again confirm a very sad fact.

And this speaks to what?

Where have all the Trumpies gone, long time passing Where have all the Trumpies gone, long time ago Where have all the Trumpies gone? Trump has scammed them them, everyone. Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn?

Really, that's the sort of dance routine for which he's used to receiving acclaim. Here is different, apparently.

You're right. I hereby volunteer my 12 year old niece for Secretary of Education. Time for a kids eye view there. I don't think TriGirl should be given the option. I think she should be captured and forced to work for the greater glory of the state. Time and a half on weekends, of course.

Yes, and look what we got. I'm a Mayor Pete fan but I think, especially given what a clusterfuck Trump is making of the transition, Biden is better served by installing as much experience in his cabinet as possible.

In fairness at no time did he call anyone a no good fucktard liberal snowflake butt licker who should be chopped into fish food with the amazing ginzu knife. So progress is being made here.

Mayor Pete is cool but was only a mayor. He has his uses but is yet to play on a statewide stage much less a national stage. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are tagged and proud "socialists" in the minds of 70 million voters. Unless we want Biden/Harris to be one and done they'll need to create a centrist political image. Like it or not they, and AOC and the squad for that matter, need to be quieted if we're serious about peeling voters in middle America away from the right. They're building a super diversified cabinet which should be a selling point in the next elections so I think they recognize it's about appearances and focusing on 2022 and 2024.

Thanks. I was being an unclear comedian.

I'm aware. The thing is we're just starting to get to the bottom of things here. Rocket Scientist, Nuclear Aerialist, who knows what he's been up to at this point. Inquiring minds, right?

Were you the "O" ring guy?

Yes, well, I'm not a Rocket Scientist. I'm an unmanned scientist.

Maybe if we were being bombarded by V-1 Rockets instead of lies and intentional misinformation things would be different.

There is a person I trust implicitly who is a Trump supporter. Multiple 6 figure deals on a hand shake or less. I know where he is coming from and he knows where I'm coming from. We don't dance around it. Trust follows truth.

nwt, you, lippy and mrcwood are turning into our own Squad here. I'm liking it.

Solid and diversified group. And considering how nicely we feller's have F'd things up it's encouraging that he's putting women in charge of things.

Alright, maybe I pressed my point a touch too far. I agree that there are a lot of racist, homophobic, misogynistic, isolationist, conspiracy theory believing and generally not too bright people who love him for their own personal reasons, whatever those reasons may be. I also believe each and every one of them is for sale for a small handful of coins.

I disagree. More money would have caused them to look straight past any issue you raised. Just to look at one, I don't think any of them would give a rat's ass about immigration if they though illegals put more money in their pockets. Like Trump, they are transactional at their very cores. That's why his take what you can get and fuck everyone else schtick resonates with them.

I believe airdvr, and others here, are skirting the truth. By that I mean saying out loud why they were willing to inflict 4 more years of Trump on the nation: short term monetary gain for themselves. They figured Trumps policies would put more coin in their pockets. I don't buy for a silly second any other reasons.

Seriously? Then you believe the guy you knew, and wanted to be President, is either crazy or capable of self delusion to a point that is indistinguishable from crazy. Knowing that you voted for him anyway?

Great. But what about Trumps outrageous behavior post election.

Close. He's mad.

Thanks. Who'd have guessed that Northern Quebec wouldn't be a covid hot spot?
