That doesn't make the statement "Every other house has these weapons" true. All you are doing is highlighting the trend going in the other direction. Fewer and fewer homes per capita having firearms in them.

There is no way for you to know that.

--------. Biden spent a year wandering the stage and descending into mumbling. A year. The debate just shined a light on it that was undeniable and people couldn't write it off as Republican talking points anymore.

Again, that's not the stat being talked about.

Now every other house has these weapons.

Yes it is. We're at the fewest % of houses with guns in the lifetimes of everybody that posts here.

there were in fact very few and they were put away

Another one of those completely different versions of history. Besides fewer households having firearms now than ever (they do own more of them on average), people used to store their guns in the open, in glass fronted wood cabinets. What we have now is pretty much the opposite. Storage has moved off to the closet. The display cabinet of the 30s through 80s has gone by the wayside. Locking cases and firearm safes are cheaper and more available than ever. Same with hidden storage solutions and all kinds of other secure storage gadgets.

What changed? The proliferation of guns. Virtually nobody had an AR style gun in the 80s.

That does not seem historically accurate. More households had guns then than they do now. They were also dripping in WW2 surplus. The 1911 pistol was common. The M1 carbine, the precursor to the AR, was common. Garands were cheap and common, and the bullet has double and triple the energy of the AR. The Mini-14 was on the market since 1973, popular, shoots the same ammo as the AR at the same rate using magazines the same size.

#6 this is a very different Beast than that. You have to move a lot of rock to build that ramp. Roman armies we're great because the soldiers were also construction workers but eight to 12 weeks is pretty reasonable for the amount of work they did for that project. You still have to have a perimeter, patrols, forage parties Etc so you can't throw all of your Manpower at it at once and we know about how many Romans were there.

Certainly not a multi-year deal but not a two-week deal either.

Does not actually matter HOW they got Trumpy to pardon them.

How much money changed hands and who got it?

Building the circumvallation and siege ramp alone wouldn't take years, but that's a 2-3 month process.

Yeah, everybody's happier since he announced retirement after his slack jawed debate performance. We'd be further ahead if the holdouts hadn't dragged their feet so badly when it was obvious it was time to change course.

As the OEMs pull back, so do the politics.

"In a lengthy 'fact-check' email last week that covered several issues, a campaign spokesperson included a line saying that Harris 'does not support an electric vehicle mandate,'" report Alex Thompson and Ben Geman of Axios, "suggesting she changed her previous position, without elaborating."

"While it does seem like Dave Rubin, Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and several other Media Personalities on Tenet were fooled into making Pro-Russian Content, and never knew that their Funding and Material was coming from Russian Agents. Everything in the Indictment by the U.S. Justice Department indicates that Lauren Chen and her Husband, who are the Founders of Tenet, knew that they were being funded by the Russian Government and may have even been working directly alongside Russian Agents in order to push their Employees, like Tim and Benny, into making the Content requested by the Russians."

ukraine is corrupt! ukraine is corrupt! ukraine is corrupt!

biiiitch, please. The talking heads are corrupt.

The corny af right wing youtube talking heads all fell inline with Russian propaganda on Ukraine.

This is why. RT paid Tenet Media to do the heavy lifting for them.

Tim Pool on Twitter claiming all of his content is his, it's original, it's not Russian, and also, he's the real victim here.

Statistically if you're hunting gang members in the Marines you're going to get a lot of low-level street gangs like Tango Blast from Houston.

The Houston jail contains a Marine Corps Recruiting Office. That's not a joke.

But going by the other posters suggesting this pardon was bought, I'm sure you can figure out where I was going with that.

Where did Alice get that money if there was money because we definitely know there was money involved right? And we're not just being -------- running on low information?

Yes that's how people got pardons from Trump. You went to him and you personally lobbied for them with a sob story otherwise Trump wouldn't even know their name nor care.

I knew what you meant lol. Text to speech often struggles with my authentic frontier gibberish.

WTF is "Covid lockdown ideology"???

The bitter partisan divide on who and what to lockdown, if everything, or if anything.

Clearly the solution is to roll in a protest about Gaza, while we protest which workers are really essential.

She just wants to be in on everything young people are angry about.

Climate protest? Add Covid lockdown ideology.
Climate protest? Add Ukraine.
Climate protest? Add indigenous rights.
Climate protest? Add Palestine.

Definitely detracts from her message.

How did Kim Kardashian find out about Alice Johnsons plight?

Viral youtube video, so she became an activist and used her fame positively.

His release was personally lobbied for by Alice Johnson, criminal reform activist.

Alice Johnson is the non-violent drug offender that was granted clemency by Trump after he was lobbied by Kim Kardashian.

Does anybody here besides me actually know the name of his opponent?

Colin Alrad. I'm probably spelling the last name wrong but their competing ads, all of it is border related and none of it is abortion related. There might be some abortion access related ads in there but that's not what's getting played Ad nauseam on local news.

You can still get poor whites, but they're disproportionately represented.
