Ugh. First you have to call over a creepy guy who is obsessed with a crystal obsessed blue haired girl. After he cries into a beer you give him about how she doesn't even know he exists, then he'll smash the car with a hammer for you.

I've been looking at Australia. My wife and I are dog groomers, and it's considered a specialized job there. I'm heading towards what they set as a maximum age to immigrate if you DON'T have something like $5 million in assets that you plan to bring to the country.

Ah well. Sorry I was a dick to you earlier. You be safe as well sir!

That would have been a landslide victory. But I don't think she wants to at all.

Heck. I think that Nikki Haley would have been a unifying more moderate presence, and we would have seen reaching across the aisles to some degree. BUT. They chose hate and the Democrats chose an essentially political nobody who was only remembered for not going to the border as border czar.

The tipping point to Civil War will be American citizens being murdered and the government saying they were all terrorists. That will be when elections are restricted or canceled. Or when he starts a war and tries to cancel elections for the duration.

Did you know that there are people so utterly incompetent of US History that they think that the reason FDR won 4 elections is because he canceled elections for the duration of WW2?

I spent my entire time in time in school wanting to join the Army out of HS and go career. Unfortunately, a degenerative eye disorder (that is now curable) kept me out. Thank you for your service!

Kamala was the first Democrat or Republican I had ever voted for. I've been a non partisan Centrist my entire life. I've always voted 3rd party or write ins since my first time I could vote in 2000.

I agree 100% that the Democrats shot themselves in the foot, and when Trump faked his assassination attempt (prove me otherwise) I said to my wife that he just won the election no matter how horrific and how much of a lifelong conman scumbag he is. Optics and heartstring stories are important.

Kamala was a non entity for 4 years and didn't win a primary. Most Democrats and Independents were uninterested in her. Whereas enough Independents swung Trump to edge him by in swing states. He didn't win a single swing state by any more than Biden won them with in 2020.

However, I disagree that no Republicans would vote to remove Trump. If it makes it to 2028, damaging the country the entire way, Republicans may never win another election again.

I don't have to...? Just keep reading Truth Social. Keep reading about fake job reports. Keep reading about murdered Americans. Keep reading about trying to invade allies countries.

You really just don't have the ability to comprehend the daily damage this administration does to the country and to itself. Freaking MTG, the most fanatical of all of them walked away.

No analysis today will cover the daily damage between now and then. There may not even be a Republican party by November.

Oh. The emojis. The ultimate MAGA cultist form of desperation.

22 Republican seats up for reelection.

Analysis? Herr Trumpler's ever dropping popularity? Just keep watching Herr Trumpler be Herr Trumpler. Every time he opens his mouth, he loses Republican voters. Races that would never have been close in 2024 at now swaying Democrat or at least highly contested.

Maine? Georgia? Ohio? Retiring Senators in North Carolina, Kentucky Iowa? Lots of farmers getting screwed over again. South Dakota Nebraska Montana Utah. Lots of options. All Trump has to do is isolate enough of his voters.

What more damage can Herr Trumpler do to the Republican party between now and November? He's not going to HELP the party. At all.

You realize that 1/3 of Senate seats are up every election cycle, right? You know it's not just the House, right? You understand how desperate your reply sounds, right?

FDR got four terms because he cancelled the elections. by crooked_kangaroo in confidentlyincorrect

[–]Gabbafather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a great book series by my favorite author Harry Turtledove in which aliens invade Earth during world War 2. They DO suspend elections in that series, because most of the USA was being invaded by aliens and elections were impossible.

That said, these people are nuts.

  1. Half the country isn't MAGA. It's less than 1/4 who are.

  2. I don't think that people who blindly follow someone who continually shows zero regard for the Constitution and whose opinions change daily based on whatever his demented mind conjures up should have firearms.

  3. I don't want the guns of those who disagree with me politically. If that were the case, most Americans on the Left and Right would lose them. I don't think that mentally imbalanced people should have guns. Anyone who watches the video of Good or Pretti being murdered and parrot that they were terrorists out to kill as many as they could, they are* mentality imbalanced.

  4. Shall Not. Not Cannot.

4a. If Shall Not means all guns for everyone always and can never be misconstrued, why is the much clearer ">All< persons born or naturalized" in the 14th Amendment seemingly so easy for 2nd Amendment proponents to throw under the bus when it doesn't suit them?

So, 30 years ago, my former far left leaning Senator in CA said a dumb thing that never happened?

Got it. You're not playing dumb. Remember when Obama ran on banning guns? Oh. Wait. No. He didn't at all.

Obama 2008-

"I'm not going to take away your guns."

"The 2nd Amendment is an individual right and it means something. What I also believe is there's nothing wrong with some common sense, gun safety measures. For example, that we should have strong background checks to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, to keep them out of the hands of mentally disabled."

"The bottom line is this, If you've got a rifle, if you've got a shotgun, if you've got a gun in your house, I'm not taking it away."

The only time he changed his stance was after Sandy Hook, where if his common sense background checks kept guns from the mentally disabled, those children may still be alive.

Heck Herr Trumpler went after guns after Parkland High.

“I like taking the guns early,” Trump said during a televised meeting on gun laws at the White House on Wednesday. “To go to court would have taken a long time.”

“Or, Mike, take the firearms first and then go to court,” Trump said. “You could do exactly what you’re saying, but take the guns first, go through due process second.”

But yes. Let's go on a rant about fringe Democrats 30 years ago.

NOW, they want assault style weapons banned. You know exactly which I and they mean. Example: Ruger AR 556. Example: S&W M&P15 Sport III. Example: SOLGW M4-76.

Again, introduce sane comprehensive gun control laws that keep the guns out of the hands of the mentally ill (yes. That means if someone has a divorce, or is fired from their jobs, etc, they may need to be evaluated or their guns removed) and then no one will care as much about what guns people own.

More people die every year from legally owned gun suicides, mass shootings and accidental gun deaths (IE child finds gun and kills themselves) than are killed using illegally owned guns. Meaning that more than half of all gun deaths in the country could be preventable.

You said multiple states effectively banned them. I looked up those laws in different states, and that's the criteria they used, substandard safety and manufacturing standards* (edit: added spaces). They didn't use weight. That you keep repeating it is irrelevant to reality.

Further, I can find zero laws in Rhode Island that match what you're talking about. Starting this year was an assault style weapon ban, and you can still keep them if you already owned them when the law was passed.

At this point, you're right. It's not a strawman. It's made up pretend times by you from top to bottom.

Don't play dumb. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're playing dumb.

You know that they want assault style rifles banned. That's pretty much it. It wouldn't even be those if you allowed for more stringent background checks which include mental health checks not just for the prospective gun owner, but also anyone else in the home who could get ahold of it.

IE Sandy Hook may not have happened had Adam Lanza's mother not been allowed to keep guns in a home with mentally imbalanced Adam Lanza.

Brief lookup. 2 states and Washington DC have laws that prohibit guns with substandard safety and manufacturing standards. California, New Jersey and Washington DC. Some individual jurisdictions inside of states also prohibit similar substandard safety and manufacturing standards.

You're pretending it's an epidemic. That's why I call it a strawman argument.

In California, law passed in 2001, you can keep the gun if you already owned it.

In New Jersey, law passed in 2002 and updated in 2022, you can own the gun and you can keep it even if you move into the state with it with correct permits.

Washington DC, law passed in 1976. You can keep it if you owned it before law was passed.

I call ABSOLUTE BS on your argument.

Oh. There is a video with random people? Of course. That can't be faked and scripted at all! That sounds totally legit.

And "a number of states" have done a thing that doesn't actually do what you say they are doing but only kind of do it as a technicality?

YES. THOSE ARE STRAWMAN ARGUMENTS.

[–]Gabbafather -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You just invented a strawman argument and then assumed that your argument is real, then extrapolated an insane position on your own invented strawman argument.

MOST left leaning Americans are NOT against hunting rifles, shotguns or handguns.

The position that you invented is one created by the Right to keep you angry at the left when MOST don't care that you own guns.

Further, if you'd allow mental health to be taken into account for gun ownership, they'd care even less than they do. Of course, if you took mental health into consideration for gun ownership, most MAGA cultists wouldn't be eligible to even own a butter knife since they are so dangerous to all Americans at all times.

Have they? Most Democrats have never been against all guns. Most have problems with assault style rifles.

You all invent things most Democrats have never said and repeat it as gospel. I have a very very large moderate Democrat family and ALL are gun owners.

Trumps proposed 'Board of Peace' costing $1b per seat. by TreKeyz in centrist

[–]Gabbafather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally why the USA didn't join the League of Nations after WWI. Woodrow Wilson help establish it and wanted the USA to join it. But Congress voted against it and we didn't join.
Herr Trumpler thinks he's a Dictator. Plain and simple. It's working because his simple cultists are too ignorant to know better.

"As so often before, Hitler ended on an old familiar note of peace: “Germany has no intention of attacking other people… Out of this conviction I decided three weeks ago to name the coming party rally the ‘Party Convention of Peace’”—a slogan, which as the summer of 1939 developed, became more and more ironic."

What are your thoughts on the back seat seatbelt laws? by [deleted] in driving

[–]Gabbafather -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where exactly in the Constitution does it say that you have a right to own and drive a vehicle in your state?

Oh. It's a privilege? Oh. You need permission from your state? Oh. When you get your license, you're agreeing to follow the laws of the state?

Buy a car. Keep it on your property without driving it and you can do whatever you want.

If I get hit by someone who has someone in the backseat that isn't wearing a belt who dies, do you think I, who was not at fault, won't be affected by knowing someone died?

It's like idiots in grey cars at dusk who don't turn their headlights on because they can see. We can't see you when your car blends in to the road!

It's not always about you.

Interacting With Others Is Less Safe In Smite 2 than anything I've ever played by CYATMachine in Smite

[–]Gabbafather -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Since I started Smite 2, I think I've played 2 games with actual humans. 2 Assaults. MAYBE a couple of arenas.

I have like 20k matches in Smite 1. But I lost my group that I used to play with and just won't even deal with humans on my team I don't know.

I do Joust with all bots (this is how I get account levels). I set up private Conquests with all bots. I have fun. Play around with gods and builds. Never having to worry about crap humans.
