  1. Even setting Billy aside for a minute - this has already been researched and well proven to be far more likely than any valid defensive use will ever be, but the pro gun lobby will always choose (tragically) to ignore this.
  2. That's not true in any way. However, if it stops you guys using such ridiculous vehicles and moves you more in line with the rest of the world, then its a win win.
  3. You’re not even pretending it’s not propaganda now. That’s progress I guess.
  4. Yeah - people viewing climate change as a "concept" is revealing as to their IQ. In addition - the concept of "woke" i'd say was very much initiated from the right. They can't (or won't) define it, but they use it to parcel up all the boogeymen they want their faithful to be scared of. It's this year's "socialist"
  5. https://orangebeanindiana.com/2022/05/22/pastor-of-indiana-church-admits-to-adultery-with-16-year-old/ Blows the mind. I’d put money on him wanting the US to be a theocracy so people like him can run the show as well.
  6. All the current GOP talking points rely on their listeners being pretty much unaware of anything outside US borders.
  7. Course he voted republican. He's like all these other assholes saying things like "I used to vote democrat but they lost me and Trump just resonated" - basically as republican as you can get.
  8. That's your choice. I'm sure you are ignoring the fact that they are far more likely to do you harm than good. You doubtless think you are an exception, same as everyone else.
  9. This mental fallacy is why the US will always be unable to solve this problem.

    Ukraine

    (found on another forum - seems about right!) So, vlad the poisoner has; Borked the already partially borked Russian economy; showed the world that soviet arms aren’t all that (India has quit contracts for more sukhois and is looking at leopards to replace its newish t90s) degraded his military, and demonstrated its inability against non crazy motivated forces; motivated non nato holdouts to join nato; and successfully motivated Europe to ditch Russian natural gas, reducing a major foreign policy lever. Well played. And this is the guy who has easily conned the american right
  11. considerably fewer than 70 million functioning brains though....
  12. Probably not incorrect. The millions that loudly and vocally label themselves as "Patriots" and are anything but.
  13. To be fair, the fact that they found it and punishment means that their preventative measures work. It does however shine a light on the general republican "if you can't win, cheat" mindset.
  14. Agreed. His/her name seems to be overcompensatory
  15. If only cars of the same SIZE crashed into each other, you'd have a point. As it stands, you don't.
  16. Since when has anyone ever cared about that? If they did, the enormous super duallys and so on wouldn't exist. If an F450 or whatever hits, say, a miata, it pretty much won't even feel the bump, and a lot of people who drive those trucks see that as a point of pride. It's a bit late to get worried about vehicle weight. I saw a review of the new Hummer Electric truck last night - no-one has learnt any lessons about energy consumption.
  17. You keep telling yourself that.
  18. Kinda why the right wing platforms are struggling - the trolls only like it when there are people to troll https://www.techdirt.com/2022/03/28/trumpists-admit-that-their-own-social-media-platforms-arent-much-fun-when-they-cant-use-them-to-own-the-libs/
  19. "Founded on" is true, "world leader in" - not so much. Increasingly tending back towards a middle eastern style theocracy, at least in some areas. Doubtless that will get some people upset, but look at some of the legislation being proposed/ pushed through/ approved in some places for the crime of allowing someone to be transgender - or some of the comments by sitting senators and members of congress re. repealing the ability for interracial marriage, or banning books..... the list goes on.
  20. He doesn't seem to have got the message yet that discovery can show up all sorts of interesting information on both sides of the fence.
  21. These ones in particular are the ones that make me fear for the US. There is a big chunk of the country (a minority, but a decent sized, and increasingly powerful one) that would be totally OK with all of this. Sadly, that seems to include some posters here.
  22. What - you mean Hunter should be given a job in the administration by his dad?
