All the anti-2a people have accomplished is to help the fascists into power and render themselves helpless against them.

Fascism is here, and the Second Amendment has never once been restricted in any practical fashion. That means that fascism rose to power while everyone was fuckin strapped. Nobody has done shit so far except that one kid in Butler who was a bad shot.

What do you still need so that you'd have been a genuine threat to the world's global military hedgemon? A personal F-15 Eagle?

I dunno if this is anyone else but me, but, in the US this weekend, I heard a radio advertisement on our local Clear Channel / CBS station that was just a guy without music, forcefully stating that "tariffs are a matter of national security."

That was honestly so surreal that I wasn't sure if I had imagined it.

Honestly I am thankful all the time that people are able to find jobs that suit them best. I am a graphic designer by trade, and working from home has basically been the greatest creative boon I've ever had in my life, lol. The routine, access to nature, and just general lack of distractions has been incredible.

My understanding is that he never actually paid out any of that money he promised to voters.

Sadly, the "concept of a plan" line was from last year. :/

I have to admit, if Trump changed opinions about him via destroying the economy, I have yet to see it. All the dipshits in my world are crowing about how they had been preparing for this for decades.

It's never too late to enter carpentry. I know quite a few programmers who do carpentry as their main hobby. Something about the math and the amount of careful planning is highly transferrable, I guess.

Me, Local Fact Checker (who is also very tired and lazy): "seems fine"
