"I can't name any policies that you would agree harmed America, because you refuse to look at anything objectively."

I look at things pretty objectively. I didn't think Hillary or Kamala or any woman could win, for example.

You could at least try to name a liberal policy that hurt America, and of course you'll be expected to show how the Republican fix has actually made things better.

Your non-answer reinforces my earlier answer being pretty accurate here: You're referring to right-wing propaganda painting the left policies as harmful to America, and that's why you don't want to name them, because you know most of that stuff will get torn down by an informed person.

"You see a gun yell it out, and suddenly a shot is fired"

And suddenly your partner starts shooting because you yelled gun.

And this is how one hand washes the other.

How many people did you shoot in your law end career? Answering that question will speak to your credibility as an expert witness.

And now you think you or your partners are taking fire.

This happened to you, or are you playing make-believe?

"Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, traditional Native Americans, etc."

In this country, I've never encountered anyone in those groups of people to be so tone deaf as to not have an awareness and an understanding of what that symbol means in American culture.

Shit, even the White House has walked back their story. You're still trying to sell it.

"This in no way excuses the shooting, you should always be sure of your threat. But it goes a long way in explaining what happened and why."

We gave morons guns and badges is the ONLY reason this happened.

You not being able to just come out and say that is ridiculous. It strains whatever credibility you think you have.

"100% there was a spontaneous discharge."

Is this 100% of your evidence or is there more?

I'm not here to say Capitalism doesn't victimize poor people, Tor.

Regardless of why the South is deeply racist, deeply racist it is.

The gun discharged spontaneously which likely directly led to the shooting.

You're saying the other ICE shooter's gun discharged spontaneously?

"Think about most of these newly hired ICE agents. They perceive themselves as patriots serving their country."

Think for two more seconds. If they still think that after being trained to ignore the Constitution, then they're using their patriotism as a cover story to be thugs.

"the important thing to remember is that while rich people owned slaves a clear majority of white house holds in the old south didn't"

Slaves are expensive. That's like saying 1930s rich people owned cars, but a majority of households didn't.

"and didn't benefit from slavery either since slave labor was their competition."

They didn't have the economic wherewithal to benefit from slavery.
You're taking an economic reality and building a moral judgment off of it.
I will demonstrate by way of example.
How many Southern Baptists owned slaves, when the Southern Baptist schism occurred over the issue of slavery?
If the non-slave-owning Christians in the South didn't support slavery, the schism wouldn't have given rise to a new church called the Southern Baptists. That sect would have been called the Slaver Baptists or something like that.
But that's not what happened. The Baptist church split over the issue of racial slavery, and the pro-slavery church called itself the Southern Baptists.

(this kind of thing = ICE terrorizing and executing civilians)

What would Charlie Kirk do?

Charlie was raising a fuss about IDF doing exactly this kind of thing to Palestinians, in the weeks and months before his death.

That's why Nick Fuentes ordered Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Trump Says Americans 'Can't Have Guns' At Protests.

Funny.
There were guns at the Cliven Bundy protests.
There were guns at the Michigan State House protests.
There were guns at the Unite The Right March in Charlottesville.
Kyle Rittenhouse brought a gun to a protest and became a Hero Of The Crybaby Right.

Now our Republican President says We The People can't have guns at protests.

Hey Republicans.
Is it fascism yet?

"Then he put himself in the mix helping a woman when clearly he was out of place and creating a problem which cost him his life."

Like when white people take a wrong turn, and end up in the ghetto, and get murdered.

That white person was clearly out of place, creating a problem which cost him his life.

"Think of it this way: an intruder breaks into your home and you get in a fight with him even though you have a gun."

Who's the intruder here, ICE?
The man was in public, where everyone has a right to be.
Very much unlike a person breaking into your home.

While I appreciate the issue that is being raised here, if you are in physical possession of the hard drive, you can physically bypass BitLocker.

virtually all of the court's six Republican appointees seemed to agree with the challengers that the law, which requires the gun owners to obtain express permission from the property owner, violates the Second Amendment's right to bear arms.

Hawaii's position is supported by the MAGA created new (ridiculous) requirements under Bruen.
Under Bruen, for a gun law to be legal, it must align with our "historical tradition of firearm regulation."
And there is ample historical precedent of guns being banned from establishments.
There's a write-up about it in Reason or some other left-center source.

Corky, you don't think any of the lefts policies pushed moderates away from the left and to the right during the election?

I think right-wing propaganda painting the left policies as harmful to America could have done that.

The actual policies of the left don't harm America, and the reason I know that's the case is you can't name any left policies that harmed America.

I don't mean all the left, I mean the extremes have gotten more extreme. The problem is they have gotten more vocal, and therefore garner more attention/blame than their parties deserve.

I can't imagine you can identify any "extremes" on the left.
EXCEPT FOR
Trans people existing and demanding to be given the same rights that black people and women and gays had to fight for.

What's really changed is these people are now routinely demonized by the right-wing media. Their existence hasn't changed, their demands haven't ever changed, and it's the same demands women, blacks, and gays used to have.

Maybe you think it's a "left wing phenomenon" that there are more openly trans people than when we were kids. Hey, there's more openly gay people than when we were kids too. Is that the result of leftism or is that a nation centering itself around the reality that gay people exist and gay people's existence is only a left vs right issue because the right wants gays to be second class citizens.
