Honestly, I think you’re simply adding to the point being made. There’s places guns aren’t allowed that are super common in every city, and someone still got shot there? This will only lead to more places having gun bans (since we won’t actually do anything meaningful for gun control)… meaning more places that criminals are the only ones carrying guns around shooting people.
… That’s just common sense though.
All I’m saying is, if I was required to spend hours at work without pay, I would be an absolute prick at work as well.
Yep, you’ve landed right where I did by trying to learn the legal loopholes. We’re in for a wild ride no matter what.
Here’s my understanding, though I could have missed something while trying to navigate the law. In order for Trump to be able to pull this with the national guard, he needs the consent and authorization of the Governor. He would never get this from blue states, so I imagine the goal is to have red states hand him free power, then target the blue areas within that state. Once we’ve normalized it a bit, it’s easier to force it on the remaining states.
All my homies vote for Pedro.
The flip side of this coin is, we also get what we want. Devs get paid, and we get games.
I’m not saying it’s ideal, and I understand your point…but it’s better than not paying. This is just a typical transaction with extra steps.
Bipartisan is a bad word now.
Agreed.
I agree. With the major cash infusion ICE received, I imagine they will start to get brave/stupid.
It’s only a matter of time before masked, unidentified people walking around fucking up people’s lives start getting shot on the grounds of self defense.
Bingo!
I love how when it’s just a nobody, this is presented as “accused gang member,” even without evidence. Meanwhile, rich folks are running around getting kid glove headlines with mountains of evidence against them.
Working on both currently.
I have felt this one personally. My account was fraudulently charged for several thousand dollars in two transactions a couple months ago. The bank ruled in the “merchants” favor, and said the charges were legit. When asked for recourse, the bank provided me with the number and website for the merchant, both of which were inactive. I filed a complaint with the CFPB after the bank removed my money. Within two weeks, all they told me was that the ruling stands, case closed.
To answer your question, a ton of the civil rights movements happened in Alabama.
…mainly because of all the other terrible shit happening in Alabama, but there’s no denying the progress that was made!
Sure, go ahead and let them know. I believe in you.
One doesn’t have to be a big deal to stand up for what they believe in.
I have even worse news. The money allotted to fix that sewage problem was considered DEI, and taken back.
If we are suddenly concerned with genocide, there’s much bigger (and legitimate) fish to fry in the world currently.
It’s had me thinking a lot about the tolerance paradox. Where exactly is the line? How should it be handled? Will we get better without violence? Is violence necessary to fight back against dangerous ideas? Who should be the ones holding the line against dangerous ideas? What could we have done differently to ensure we didn’t get here? Will we make any changes or learn anything from this? What duty do we have to protect the marginalized communities that this kind of speech affects?
I’ve certainly drawn some conclusions of my own pondering this, but I still have plenty of unanswered questions.
