That’s corporate socialism, not communism. As someone who lives in the US, I don’t know anyone who would call that communism. #americabad I guess?
You’re the kind of person that will never serve on a jury because you believe that if someone is arrested, they must be guilty. Innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt is the American standard.
I’m a “bad actor” for defending both the Constitution and for expressing an opposing viewpoint? lol, ok then.
FWIF, I don’t know for sure what the percentage of the US population is that supports Trump, I just know that Trump is leading Biden slightly or is toe-to-toe with Biden in almost every single poll. I also know that according to a Gallup poll a couple of years ago, 36% of polled people say they are conservative and only 25% say they are liberal, with another 37% identifying as moderate. Considering that Trump is the moderate candidate at this point (Biden has moved consistently to the far left during his presidency), I’d say that assuming ~50% of the population supports or at least would vote for Trump based solely on policy isn’t the worst reasoning. https://news.gallup.com/poll/388988/political-ideology-steady-conservatives-moderates-tie.aspx
I suppose providing sources for my claims is further proof I’m a “bad actor”, eh?
Calling ~50% of the population “nutjobs” isn’t particularly conducive to productive political discourse. Solely using strawman and ad hominem fallacies just make you look like a partisan hack, not a serious person.
It’s totally off-topic, but I stand by what I said in that other thread. If you can show me that there is a correlation that evidences decreased violent crime and increased firearms regulation, please let me know, I’m eager to read it. FTR, I get my crime stats directly from the FBI.
I consider myself to be a classical liberal, someone who believes in the liberal values that allowed our great nation to be founded in the first place. To that end, I have no compunction calling out hypocrisy whenever I see it. Do I think Trump is a good person? Hell no. But between him and Biden, I believe that Trump makes the better president. The US and the entire World were objectively better off based on the stats under Trump than they are under Biden.
To be fair, the man is traveling constantly right now. I’d be exhausted if I were almost 80 and flying all the time.
What if Israeli government sites were located inside the homes of Israeli civilians? What if Israeli military sites were located underneath Israeli hospitals? Would that grant Israel immunity against Iran? Because your line of reasoning would be that the only way to prevent war is to put civilians in harms way, as Hamas has done repeatedly.
It’s not retaliatory unless Israel has (recently) attacked Iran, which they haven’t. It should be considered revenge, not retaliation.
Presumably Israel will respond in force. I’d hate to be living in Tehran right now.
The linked article is unverifiable: the original “source” has provided no corroborating evidence to support their story (and they are quite clearly biased in all their reporting…), and a google search only returned results which eventually led back to the original “news” organization. Not going to put much stock in that story.
Israel is facilitating the entrance of approximately 1.2 pounds of food per person in Gaza at the moment, and has been since the early days of the war. If civilians in Gaza are starving, which I believe they are based on all available information, then the fault lies squarely with Hamas, who continues to steal virtually all aid that enters the Gaza Strip and use it to further their violent and genocidal agenda.
TL;DR: Link to unverifiable story with no sources, and a blood libel. Great stuff /s

Any gun safe capable of being opened quickly by an authorized user would be able to be opened just as quickly by an unauthorized user, aka a child.
I agree with your assertion though, that keeping a gun handy in the presence of an adult is distinctly different from keeping a gun unsecured and not in the possession of an adult. Good point.
