What's the deal with old men trying to make the world into the horrible place it was when they were younger?

People who support Roe, I think, are more pro-choice than they are pro-abortion

What do you mean by "pro-abortion"? Is there some big movement calling for mandatory abortion for all pregnant women?

"The police came out and tells us, it'll work itself out since he moving soon."
"local law enforcement told them the boy is too young to face any criminal penalties"

When they went to the boy's home to talk to the parents about the incident and the damage done to the car instead of addressing the boy's behavior the father came outside with a gun and almost shot his own daughter with it.

I'm glad the father is being charged with a felony for his behavior but how about instead of the police shrugging off the boy's behavior they work with other state resources and investigate what is going on inside the home? Is there abuse from the violent father? Get that kid some counseling.

You mean the one that would have allowed the purchase if he had a hunting license? reason.com

My understanding is that an 18-20 year old would have been to purchase a shotgun, bolt action, etc if they had a hunting license but semi-auto centerfire rifles but now they will be able to purchase semi-auto's too.

You mean like these "common sense" federal and state laws, New York in particular, regarding mental health and firearms?
I don't think the Court has opined on such laws.

I mean laws like the one that that a Federal Court, relying heavily on the Heller decision, just overturned in California this past week that had it been in place nationwide would have stopped this shooter from legally purchasing the rifle.

Rolling stone should be shut down for printing this garbage.
You want to find the real division in our society, look no further than this --------.

You are an insurrection supporting America hating traitor so it is no surprise that you would call for Rolling Stone's 1st amendment rights to be stripped.

Shoot back.

That didn't work out so well for Aaron Salter, the man who was killed after returning fire and hit the shooter at least once in his armored vest.

Shooter was investigated by New York State Police last year for threatening to carry out a shooting last summer while he was still a minor. He should never have been allowed to purchase a gun but unfortunately the Supreme Court has decided America is no place for common sense gun laws.

"It is inconceivable that either Congress or voters in 1964 understood discrimination because of sex to mean..."

It is inconceivable that either a Congress or voters in 1791 understood the right to bear arms to mean everyone has the right to a weapon that can fire one round every 1.25 seconds accurate up to 600 yards but Alito supports the crazy idea.

"would ban federal judges from trading individual stocks to avoid conflicts of interest and tighten restrictions on gifts they can receive and privately funded events they can attend"

Sounds good. Let's apply that to Congress too.

"I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down"

He'll just never tell you what he's measuring, or how it relates to the economy.

whatever he is measuring looks like a tiny mushroom.

Economy/energy- a deregulatory push as well as taking the governments foot off the neck of our energy production contributed to a booming economy as well as us being a net exporter of energy.

Booming economy? LOL! The economy grew at an annualized average rate of 1.0% under Trump, the slowest growth under any President since WW2. 2 years after the Trump corporate giveaway economic growth was 2.9%, exactly the same as before except job growth had slowed, the budget deficit skyrocketed due and tax revenue was way down. We never came anywhere close to the annual growth of 4-6% that Trump promised.

And since healthcare is interwoven with the economy, let's not forget that the number of uninsured grew under Trump and we never got the promised healthcare plan proposal from him.

Economics? Neutral. He rode a wave and did nothing noteworthy.

He was horrible on economics. His lies on covid wrecked the economy and led to the greatest job losses we've ever seen. His immigration and tariffs policies are big reasons for the inflation we are seeing today. The reduced immigration has harmed long term economic growth opportunity. His tax cuts, just as every gop president since Reagan, failed to lead to the growth he promised, showed that tax cuts don't pay for themselves and once again proved the entire GOP economic platform is based on the lie that it is good for everyone if you make rich people richer.

A rich, white Trump supporter with a history of infidelity and sending unwanted lewd photos who thinks he is above the law and free to steal from those in need? Am I shocked? Not in the slightest. This is exactly the type of behavior they try to get away with every day.

Silence is violence. Censorship is no different than a firebomb on your church.
Same ends.

No one censored Winston Marshall. He was not prohibited from saying whatever he wants to say. That some people no longer wanted to associate or that he felt he could no longer associate with others is not censorship, it is just the consequence of free speech. So tired of magats crying when they realize others don't share their support for authoritarians and have no interest in helping them spread their lies.

"Moments like this reset. People will calm down. People will say, 'I don't want to be associated with that. This is a group within a group. What this does, there will be a rallying effect for a while, (then) the country says, 'We're better than this."

Not only did the GOP not say they don't want to be associated, they doubled down and denied it ever happened. They tried to block investigations. And they are not better than what they showed to the world on Jan 6. If anything they have proven they are far worse. They are party of traitors and Graham is one of the worst among them.

No experience. It's a story straight out of fiction. Incredible job by the passenger and control!

Meanwhile the GOP also resists ditching child marriage laws and strengthening marital assault laws. They want to be able to marry them when they are too young to know anything, take away their right to resist and then bar them from terminating unwanted pregnancies.

Speech has consequences? Who knew?

This guy should definitely have the right to own a gun. Nothing bad will ever come from that.

Jill Biden visits a war zone. Trump was afraid to visit a cemetery because his hair might get wet.

Yes, you are the only one. What is your major malfunction?

For those who have it available to them, I switched to t-mobile 5g home broadband last fall. $50+tax/month, no fees or equipment costs, not contract, no caps, no installation. I'm saving $25 a month over what I was paying spectrum and getting about 10x average download speeds.

This is not an ad. I was not compensated in any way for posting this. I have no affiliation with t-mobile other than being a happy customer who wanted to share my experience with the rest of you.

There's not much else you could statistically squeeze out of the rich.

Sure there is. For starters we could tax earned income at the same rates we charge wages. We could also institute a estate tax so the descendants of the wealthiest Americans can't just get away with living off the fortune earned by dead relatives for generations to come.
