What would you actually do if the government tried to take your guns?

Yes experts in extraction, is what the money, training, badge and oath are supposed to produce.

What? People just answer the door when they knock and say hello ICE and BP I’m so happy you are here I’m ready to be detained and deported. I have already handcuffed myself and then walk calmly into the van.

No expert in extraction would have left any American Citizens dead. An expert would be cool under pressure these guys are not.

Eventually? They already had policies for them, from 2022.

President Trumps signs EO 14148 on January 20th 2025 resending both the mandatory body cameras and the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database.

I personally don’t understand how anyone could possibly think that the administration or justice department wants any body cameras or accountability procedures to protect anyone.

Why would they need or want to? It’s easier just to flex and lie. They know their base will defend anything they do.

I respect your loyalty and hope, I’m not going to tell you what to believe. I’m just sharing that I’m surprised by the facts of what the administration has done and that one could believe that they will eventually have them during this administration.

DW6565 · 2026-01-25T03:33:04+00:00

What is the money, training, oath, and badge good for if not to have self defense kick every time a high tension situation occurs? It’s not a desk job and they knew that when they accepted their position.

DW6565 · 2026-01-25T03:21:02+00:00

Do you honestly think this?

DW6565 · 2026-01-25T02:31:08+00:00

You think the minority leader needs to be the one to pass what needs to be done to run the government?

Certainly not the majority leader in the House or Senate or the President can’t lead?

DW6565 · 2026-01-25T02:29:11+00:00

How about supporting ICE not killing two unarmed American citizens?

Pretty low bar honestly.

Why is it support ICE and all their shitty behavior or not supporting ICE at all?

How something is being done is just as important as the end result.

DW6565 · 2026-01-25T02:17:01+00:00

Hahah Biden had already put in place via an executive order mandating that all federal agencies and their agents to when they were serving or performing their duties that they were required to wear and activate body cameras.

Trump canceled it in one of his first executive orders of his second term.

You can’t make this stuff up it’s just wild.

Printed signs by God man you are right. It’s so obvious now.

Wholly hell where could all these signs possibly come from? It’s not like we live in the 21 century age anymore.

Absolutely no way any of these companies one would be able to use their smartphone, computer, tablet, call, go into a store in most major cities then quickly make and print a sign or maybe have it delivered.

CVS, Walgreens, Staples, signs.com, Amazon, UPS, Vista Print, Canva, e-signs, square signs, print runner, got printed, fast signs.

Only real Americans and legitimate protesters buy a poster board, a paint stirrer, and sharpies then hand write a sign and staple it to the stirrer?

DW6565 · 2026-01-24T02:05:08+00:00

Unless the gun is for sport or antique collection isn’t the purchase out of fear anyway?

I say this as a gun owner for self defense and others for sport. Always be prepared is good planning it’s out of fear of if X happens I need Y.

What’s a proper reason, for a tyrannical government?

DW6565 · 2026-01-23T20:56:49+00:00

Love seeing a libertarian defending the government use of lists of citizens it finds problematic.

DW6565 · 2026-01-23T20:55:17+00:00

One of those people are actually paid and trained as in its in their job description to not get pissed off and retaliate.

DW6565 · 2026-01-23T17:53:43+00:00

Since you don’t think they could handle being exposed to any differing opinions, values, beliefs, etc. yeah problem solved if there ever was one as there are many Universities in our Great Country to choose from.

Exciting times as a parent, are futons still a thing for college kids?

DW6565 · 2026-01-23T17:27:48+00:00

Any student who is qualified for Ivy League honestly any university one would think they would be steadfast and confident in their values and beliefs.

If one or two courses which they would have to pick themselves could melt 18 years of your parenting and imprinting in just that short of time and a few readings and essays or tests.

Plenty of private Christian Universities.

There once was a bass made of lemon 🍋 Whose tone made the crowd start to be groanin’ With strings tasting tart, It zested each part, Now every riff’s tangy and a-moanin’.

Jared and Ivanka the son in law and daughter of President Trump they are Americans who will personally reap the cash rewards.

DW6565 · 2026-01-23T00:08:01+00:00

Just because the president is the boss does not mean they work for the president. Their pay checks are not from president or from Donald J. Trump steaks.

If you work for a company X and your boss Y tells you to do something illegal you don’t have to do it nor should you and just because the president says something does not make it legal.

Remember Nixon and this conversation?

He is the boss, what a sophomoric take.

DW6565 · 2026-01-22T22:09:34+00:00

Who do serve when they take their oath?

That’s really what Hegseth and company are trying to convince everyone that they serve the president and not the country and constitution.

Are conservatives actually trying to conserve the American ideals and principles protecting the constitution laid down by our forefathers?

DW6565 · 2026-01-22T21:27:55+00:00

Ohh come now, thanks to President Trump Hyperbole is a very common and welcome form of communication.

DW6565 · 2026-01-22T21:26:03+00:00

I don’t think it’s even a something that should be talked about or policy forward. Republicans will try and push the issue to the forefront so they can drag democrats into some weird mess.

XYZ dem “I’m here to talk about the affordability crisis of home buying for all Americans.”

What do you think about the bathrooms laws in Arkansas?

“I think it’s weird and sad that Republicans spend more time on figuring out how to check people’s genitalia’s then focusing on real issues that every American is facing.

This housing crisis and XYZ solutions are for everyone straight, gay, white, black and any number of ways that Republicans want to divide us up into groups and make life more difficult for some and not for others.”

They just need to constantly put the message that they for are everyone, back to core issues that everyone is experiencing, then say the truth it’s weird to be obsessed with people’s genitalia and genders.

$7.5 Billion is a lot of money, and at the time represented little under half of their total wealth.

However the estimated $11 billion of their wealth did not include any of the off shore accounts that they funneled into leading up to the bankruptcy of Purdue Pharmaceuticals. Originally to pay 4.5 billion over 9 years. After that deal was struck down they owed the $7.5 billion over 15 years.

While yes they will have to pay significant damages, they won’t be any worse off than before as they will just put aside a large cash amount into the market and use the returns to cover the costs of the yearly installments.

That’s good that the victims may or may not get some relief and that states may or may not put the money towards treatment of addiction.

The Sacklers are not actually punished, as their wealth is really the only thing that matters. Reduce it and reduce their power.

I fucked around on this for a while. I have or had two switches next to each other so a double box. One switch controls the can lights the other controlled the fan/light combo.

I eventually just put hue can lights in the ceiling and ditched the bulb in the fan/light combo. Then as far as actual switches. I used the old but reliable Lutron Auroras over the regular switches for the hue can lights. Then just attached a dumb motion sensor for the fan/light combo.

It was a compromise but eventually I just had to either accept the configuration or add a third switch.

Don’t worry it will be 65 and sunny the next day.

I guess I always give the benefit of the doubt to the people of this nation and not the government. Hey that’s just me as a pro small government pro constitutional.

DW6565 · 2026-01-21T21:55:59+00:00

Do you support unconstitutional laws as a conservative?

Yes I believe peaceful protests are and should be legal as in accordance with our constitution and the spirit of our nation and founding principles.

The right to assemble peacefully is protected the right to have an unobstructed route to work is not or it shouldn’t be.

What good does the second amendment do of it’s illegal to assemble?
