I know who voted for Trump. The hayseeds, the people that are ignorant of history, the people who are ignorant political science, the racists, the American Nazis, the Russians and now we know how the Russians paid for Trump’s election.
It seems the massive amount of money the NRA spent to get Trump elected that at least part of the money came from Russia. The NRA was Trump’s biggest campaign contributor.
It seems like a Russian banker is a lifetime member of the NRA and has set up a chapter in Russia. Meet the Press Daily broke the story today that the NRA is being investigated as a Russian stooge. A good deal of the money to elect Trump came from Russia.
Most politicians have what they call a home state advantage not Trump. His home town, the people that knew him best, New York. Trump only got 39.5% of the vote in New York City.
Home school children are not socialized with their peer group
. Socialization is as important as other subjects in school.
This sets up recipe for a mass murder since most mass murders are loners.
The Sandy Hook mass murder, Adam Lanza, was home schooled.
Religion is no more than imagination you might as well believe in the ninja turtles. Imagine a world where the main religion was ninja turtles and their followers wanted to make laws according to the ninja turtles stories. Come to think of it, it might be better.
Public education is what made America great it not only offered and education but required children to get an education.
My sister is a teacher in a southern Republican state with no union but the schools are pretty much the same union or not.
When you eliminate a $4,000 personal exemption for a child and replace with an exemption for $10,000 that most parents can't afford it just takes the $4,050 exemption.
Private school tuition it is meaningless for the middle class who could never afford it in the first place.
The Republican tax scam takes from poorest to fund Trump’s personal $100,000 million tax cuts.
Keep pushing this BS narrative.
The intent of the original 1913 income tax law was to tax only income in excess $3,000 ($75,526.88 in today’s dollars.) Income tax was never ever intended to be a tax on the working man.
Now the ungodly greedy are jumping up and down because the poor are not pay a tax levied on them.
There are many different sources for those facts including Wikipedia: “Taxation History of the United States” There are many sites that will give you the same information.
It is a big deal because the tax on that $700 would be $70. It is just another bold face lie by Trump.
You still have no concept of how the tax system works. The first tax bracket the 10% bracket is paid by everybody, including Donald Trump, Warren Buffet, and the people working at McDonalds. The first $19,050 of everybody income is taxed at 10%.
It was the fact that he was fired because he called the Republicans on their tax scam. Ryan took so much heat he had to reverse himself. Don’t get me wrong he should not be there because of the separation of church and state. Ryan wanted to replace him with one of the super ignorant evangelicals.
I am sure the woman overwhelmed knowing she got a whole $1.50 tax cut a week. Since there was absolutely no cut in the 10% tax bracket she will be lucky to get that $1.50. But Ryan was tickled pink she got that big a tax cut. He was so impressed he posted on Twitter. there are no addition cut in taxes in 2019 so she will continue to get her $1.50.
The source was Paul Ryan himself and he was crowing about the $1.50. Here is another source: Paul Ryan tweet celebrating a woman’s 1’50 a week raise tied to the GOP tax bill”
TBC. I ran 15K trail race through the pouring rain this evening and I got a late stat.
I listed the source on Ryan but Trump lies so much and refuses to release his tax returns you can only estimate.
What we do know of the six major tax cuts in Republican Tax Scam everyone of them is a major tax cut for Trump. If you take Trump’s financial disclosure he reported an income of $288,000,000 and you apply the 2.6% cut in the top bracket to his income that one tax cut will give him a $7,488,000 cut in his taxes but the big cuts were over 15% on his real-estate holding and 100% write off for business upgrades. Trump got at least a $100 million in tax cuts. Monkeys are much smarter than humans because when one monkey is given a better reward for doing a task the other monkey refuses to do the task. A national strike to overturn the Republican tax scam a few days before the general election would be an excellent idea. A $1.50 for one monkey and a $100 million for another would cause a riot.
The 50% that believed they are not getting a tax cut simply looked at their pay check when they found they are paying more in taxes or getting a $1.50 they saw the Republican tax scam for what it actually is.
When they look at the actual fact that a family with children has to pay more tax not less they realized it was a tax scam. You have no idea how many people are going to pay more taxes under the Republican tax scam. Do you have any idea how many people in American have children and make under $50,000? All of those people will pay higher taxes. It is not hard to calculate if you have children and make less than $50,000 you are going to pay more in taxes.
I can see you’re speechless again and your occupation is firing your AR-15.
There is a posted speed limit and a enforced speed limit the state constitutions are like the posted speed limit everyone knows they are there but they are unlikely to be enforced and if they are they are likely to be overruled by federal law.
A constitution is a constitution or in some cases a city charter. The city’s constitution determines the type of city government. City manager or Mayor for instance. There is pretty much a defined pecking order. City laws don’t supersede state laws, and state laws do not supersede federal laws.
In America the supreme court has the last word if it rules your state constitution is in conflict with the federal constitution that is the end of the argument.
I wasn’t worried about taking the gun state line as much as transporting it. I called the WV authorities not the Ohio authorities.
The example of what states did in the hundred years after the Civil War would make anybody doubt that states should have the right to abuse the population.
The Federal has three branches for a reason. The executive branch enforces laws, the legislative branch makes the laws and the supreme court interprets those laws. You can’t be both the enforcer and the granter of rights. If the executive branch oversteps it authority and violates someone’s rights the remedy is to bring suit in court. I do not remember the supreme court decision or a good way to search for it.
You are the one who wants to basically eliminate government or claim that government has no right to put limits on rights.
So you are a big believer in alternative facts because you refuse to believe the real facts.
You can check the trail records, the news accounts of the time or Whitaker Chambers himself. The cold war meant the communist could no longer be communists so they started the modern conservative movement.
You don’t get Norquist’s point he wants to destroy the American government once the conservatives destroy the American government the Russians are waiting in the wings. When Norquist says “He wants to shrink the American government to the point he can drag it in the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub” the meaning is very clear. Krushchev said, “That Russia would take over America without firing a shot.”
The supreme court justice in the case was Oliver Wendell Homes 0ne of the most famous justices of all time. If he was overturned I would be surprised. Your link did not work it just said “Bad title.” The case you cite did not overturn Schenck V United States the article said “doubt was cast on Schenck v United States.” Even under Brandenburg v Ohio unless that speech is directed to inducing or producing imminent lawless action. Do you have any idea what happens when people try to escape fire in a big public building? They run over top of one another. They trample people under foot. There is not a better description “imminent lawless action.”
WV is a rural state with a relative small population of only about a million so that would have little effect on a country of 330 million.
A supreme court decision is either overturned or not. Schenck V United States still stands casting doubt is not the same as overturned.
You have a right to have sex but you do not have a right to have sex with a 5-year hold. All rights have limits.
Rand was a communist she came from a communist country. She was educated by the communists.
Have you read any of her books that lay out her political philosophy?
I have read every word of
“Atlas Shrugged” 1146 pages and carefully marked every passage of Rand’s political philosophy. I have also read her biography.
I assume you know the theory behind Judeo. You use your opponent’s own force against them.
When you talk about never meeting a communist they didn’t like the Republicans not only like communists like Whitaker Chambers they gave him the Presidential medal of Freedom and openly worship not only a communist but a communist spy. If Reagan wasn’t a communist he openly admired a man that gave our top secrets plans for a bombing site that made are bombers far more accurate. Why would Reagan admire this communist spy so much? Isn’t it funny that so many communists landed on the right? It seems the right absolutely loved communists not only Chambers but many more.
If you were to count cars but then subtract all the cars currently in garages that figure would not tell you how many cars there are.
It is the same way with mass shootings if you want an accurate count it is not the place they take place at that we are counting it is simply the mass shootings.
A mass shooting is a mass shooting if a party is going on at a house and a shooter shows up at the party with his AR-15 and kills 20 people it is the same as if he had stopped and the grade school and killed 20 people. Just because he was 200 feet down the street we shouldn’t count it?
I wish I could remember the first time I encountered that study because it was treated more widely. I am sure it was a psychology book but I have hundred of psychology books in my library. The other book I read recently did not list in the index meaning it will take hours to go back thru it and reread it. I will get there but it may be a while.
A mass murder may also be a mass shooting but not every mass shooting is a mass murder but they are both a problem.
You might as well admit it to yourself those assault weapons serve no other purpose other than masculinity symbols.
If any of the mass murders or serial killers were NRA members I doubt the NRA would tell the truth.
You said you did a search of what? The NRA membership roles? I doubt that the NRA membership is public so it would be hard to search. Past mass murders membership would have expired any search would need to be current.
WV is a rural state with a relative small population of only about a million so that would have little effect on a country of 330 million.
It looks like Kucinich lost but he may be the first major candidate to run on banning assault weapons as his platform. I doubt he will be the last. If he had run in FL he would have won.
What we do know for sure is that the more difficult we make something the less likely it is to happen.
These mass murders would be done with fully automatic weapons and no doubt that M-16 are stolen from the army but they are far more difficult to find.
The mass murders can simply go to the corner gun store and buy an AR-15 not because that is what they really want but because it is easy to get. An illegal arms dealer could not advertise on E-bay making him harder to find.
Without a universal background check you might as well not bother and let every convicted mass murder and serial killer buy whatever guns they want to slaughter thousands.
It is very much like the woman that called to complain that her dog was getting out of her yard after she had a fence put up. The problem she only had a fence put along the front of her yard. There was no fence on either side. The dog was a whole lot smarter than the woman. He simply walked out where there was no fence. That is the type of background check we have. The criminals are a whole lot smarter than the people who designed the background check.
The NRA offers the same argument if every law is not enforced 100% than no new laws should be made. Perfect is an impossible standard using this as a standard is just a road block to stop reasonable gun control laws. Gun laws are simple. Assault weapons bans are reasonable.
In a number of recent mass-murder they released the fact that the mass murder bought his gun legally.
The crooked politicians who work for the gun manufacturer made it illegal for the CDC to gather meaningful statistics that could be used for gun control.
It would be impossible to remember which mass murderers got their AR-15 legally and which didn't. Since it is so easy to get one legally there is really no need to buy one illegally.
Mass murders and murders done where the motive is jealousy are two completely different animals. Someone that is jealous will kill only the people involved in the love triangle. His pistol was no don't empty when the cop shot him in the back as he was leaving. If the shooter had an AR-15 and was killing everyone in sight the cop would have went the other direction along with the other gun nuts in the area. He would have waited for the Swat Team like they do at other shooting. A shooter with a pistol is not near as lethal.
The particular statistic I came across I thought was for mass murders but when I looked up the second time the statistic it was for mass shootings instead of mass murders but statistic was alarming all the same and deserves to be part of the discussion. That statistic strongly makes a case for stiffer gun control laws.
America's mass murder problem is relatively new as new as the wide spread availability of assault weapons on the streets.
As the country tries to deal with the problem we will have to have new terminology to classify the mass murders. Mass murderers have got so much more efficient they keep breaking records. Please list the mass murders of over 50 people done with pistols.
A mass murder is defined as one where four or more people are killed but when 59 people are killed the term mass murder seems wholly inadequate.
I am not biased against organized religion I am just not taken in by it. A priest tried to talk my parents in to sending me to Catholic school and said that if they did I would be his for life. I luckily escaped who knows what. It might have been interesting though when I started shooting their fantasies down.
The hardcore anti-abortionist claim life begins at conception and fought the day after pill just as if it were abortionist.
The earliest premature baby to survive was 5 months one week and you can bet that was a million-dollar baby that took many people and every advance of medical science in the last 100 years to keep it alive.
You didn’t know that god is responsible for everything?
Surely you don’t think zygotes have free will?
No, I have not been to church service in 50 years but the anti-abortionist use religion as a justification for taking control of women’s bodies.
I think your afraid that somebody will take your AR-15 imagine if someone could dictate what you could do with your internal organs.
What term a mother uses is irrelevant because the factual name is fetus.
Americans have always prided themselves on their freedom but give them a chance and they will band together to take the freedom of others
. Nobody is going to make the anti-abortionist get an abortion so why take the basic right of control over one’s body from others?
Where would you draw the line where the antiabortionist take control of women’s bodies?
There are arguments that you can’t answer and it is easier to avoid them.
Sperm is not only alive it is mobile. It is alive is the corner stone of their argument but yet they ignore the poor sperm which is alive and they kill millions with birth control.
If it is alive and that is the definition they count then all life is sacred and deserves the same respect.
It is hard for discussions to stay right on track but I simply reply to what you have posted.
The most basic right in the world is the right to control your own body that the Republicans are trying hard to take away. Many abortions were done at home and they were not medical procedures. So many women died by illegal abortions so abortions were made legal to keep all these women from dying.
Some abortions are medical procedures there is always the trusty coat hanger.
Yes and Christian still treats women as property because it is based on the structure of society 2,000 years ago and what it does is keep those 2,000 year old ides a live and mainstream them.
No there is absolutely no comparison between female teachers and preachers who molest.
Molesters are overwhelmingly male. Ninety-six of the sexual assault reported in 1999 involved male predators. (Female offenders Driven by More Than Sex.”) I have a book about the investigation into the sex scandal in the Catholic sex scandal in one instance a juvenile bed was surrounded by six catholic priests each with their tool in hand. What goes on in religious cults is hard to believe this book was based on grand jury investigation.
I can understand that if you are racists you might be bigot. Disliking black people simply because they are black and they have done nothing wrong is one thing. But if you dislike a black Catholic Priest because he was a child molester you would not be a bigot. Likewise, if you have a group of ignorant cultists who were spreading their ignorance across America it has nothing to do bigotry and everything to do with their ignorance.
