The only thing noteworthy about this thread is, given the current state of American gun culture that this even needs to be pointed out to anyone in the first place.

Next year Junior gets a howitzer.

This... is CNN.

Always loved how he said that.

Hey numbnuts, nobody on the left is high fiving neocons. Idiot. It is simply being pointed out that even a horrible monster of a person such as Dick Cheney can clearly see what a dangerous crazy ---- Trump and his cult have become. It seems that if it is obvious even to him, the rest of you right wing pieces of ---- should also be able to clearly see it. The fact that your right wing partisanship is so strong that it blinds you to the threat to our nation that is right in front of us speaks horrifying volumes about the mental state of most Trumpers.

From the perspective of corporate insurers, requiring them to cover the costs of mental health on a standard health insurance plan is like opening Pandora's Box. The costs metastasize.

I'm sorry, but I just cannot imagine any father buying his 14 year old kid an AR rifle. Beyond 'bonding' or trying to improve 'self esteem', from where I sit (far away from the world of guns and the accompanying culture and mind--set) the idea of buying any 14 year old kid a weapon of that strength and lethality is mind blowing. It makes me want to scream, "are you ------- crazy?".

Yes, I meant "trashed". Carry on.

When Trump rtradhed Liz it all became very personal for dick. Politics no longer haas anything to do with it for him.

I think movies like this piss a lot of fence-sitters off, and make them want to vote for Trump. Almost as if it comes across as if the liberal Hollywood elite left wing media machine is ganging up unfairly on Trump.

Well sure, if you want to shoot people and don't mind lots of other mostly innocent people getting shot. We hear you.

Judicial mediocrity and judicial partisanship almost always seem to go hand in hand. Though I do acknowledge that both Thurgood Marshall and Antolin Scalia were w exceptions in so far as they both were intellectual giants.

I always love it when a right winger rags on FDR. In one fell swoop it tells me everything I need to know about that person and can henceforth disregard any political views that they may express.

Alienated twerps with access to high powered weaponry. There was no way our Founding Fathers could have known the violent curse they were pacing on America (even after the end of slavery) by enacting the 2nd Amendment. We are a sick and depraved nation because of it. And worse, it is who we are now as a People.

At this point I do not believe anything either of the political parties or any mainstream media reports on the subject of what current polls actually predict. Everybody is playing games with the numbers for their own ends. The media wants to keep it close to attract more viewers. The Parties have different agendas such as fund raising and motivating people to actually go out and vote. My personal suspicion is that Kamala is leading by a lot.

Christian Nationalists are the least educated voters in America. It should be no surprise that they are overwhelmingly in support of Trump.

NC is more purple than blue at this juncture. Times have changed.

I believe Nicki Haley would have handily beat Harris. I think Trump only helps Harris by keeping Haley at a far distance from him. Trump is a person without a single obvious positive redeeming quality. Nicki Haley has many. In fact, I have heard many Republicans already say that they cannot wait to vote for her in 2028.

China is knowingly and willingly pushing envelopes that should not be pushed unless there is an actual good reason.

The only reason I think closed mics are a better idea is because with open mics the Orange Puddin' Pie is never going to stop talking or interrupting. He obviously will make a fool of himself in the process, but finally the rest of us would get to hear Kamala Harris answer direct questions put to her by journalists.
