It’s long island and they most likely will, my pop’s a retired cop and they took his gun away for saying something dumb to the wrong person until he went to court and proved himself in court, and then they still made him go through anger management. However the supreme Court just struck down a bunch of rulings that may let him fight it more than my dad could at the time.

Of all the states in terms of gun control NY is one of the strictest, and growing up on Long Island and in and around the city, there’s nothing like the gun culture that is pervasive in the American South and West, there is virtually no gun culture in NYC, it’s hidden and quiet, or at least it was when I was growing up there.

Dan Akroyd doing a Schwarzenegger impression: “We come from Gaul!”

“Trump on acid?”

“No, I said ‘Trump in acid.’”

He’s still a shit head, he just probably thinks this will limit corporate money to Dems, plus most of the Republican party takes donations from shady or compromised sources like the NRA, so it doesn’t hurt them as much to limit corporate contributions.

Because kings have to have serfs and slaves, and all the yokels think they’re going to wind up the kings, they’re wrong.

All the worst people seem to be friends these days.

No dummy, this type of shit is exactly what increases domestic violence, spousal rape, and spousal murder.

Time to grow the fuck up and realize a wife isn’t a sex doll combined with a domestic servant.

If this is your religion telling you this then fuck your religion, and any other religion that offers abusive lines of thinking like this.

So kidnapping and imprisonment is what marriage is to you?

Marriage is a pact based on love and partnership, what you’re suggesting is slavery.

You got some major incel vibes going on bro, time to take yourself to a licensed mental health professional.

People shouldn’t be forced to be trapped in their shitty marriages if they don’t want to be, and not everyone needs a reason to fall out of love, or to realize they were never in love, sometimes it just happens, love is just brain chemistry and the focus of that love tends to change over your lifetime, so divorces shouldn’t need to be proven, all a divorce should need is one side calling it quits on the marriage, and we all should learn to respect that.

That’s some real “using a sharpy to correct a hurricanes path” energy Puty…

These fuckers want their Gilead.

I now owe my soul to the company store…

In the context of my post wouldn’t that make her a bit ahead of her time, considering she was raised in a politically conservative Illinois family?

I mean by all means get triggered by Hillary Clinton because she lives rent free in your head but realistically Hillary had nothing to do with this post, and in this context being a “Goldwater girl” isn’t a negative, especially when you remember that we’re taking about the 60’s here.

Exactly, Al Jazeera is owned by the Qatari royal family, guess where the heads of Hammas have been hiding? Qatar. So there’s no question Al Jazeera is a propaganda outlet at all.

However, still doesn’t excuse blowing up media representatives, even propagandists.

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.

What a dickhead response, real humanitarian right there.

I’ve got a raging clue!

What you’re asking about is a much larger issue than even the MAGAts have anything to do with, but the people behind the MAGAts are definitely responsible for, overall the country is a mess because of internal and external forces working together to make it so, and decades of planning by the American Right wing, as well as the worsening conditions that these people have ignored, such as climate change, income inequality, and many other issues that are the culmination of decades of ignorance and exploitation.

Also a lot of the problem has nothing to do with Trump’s Qult and everything to do with the class warfare being waged on us by the greedy upper class, we’re battling through inflation, shrinkflation, enshittification, and a whole variety of other things that are ultimately the fault of the wealthy and their political and corporate proxies.

Ultimately Trump may be part of the wealthy class but he’s their tool, their shepherd to the racist ultra conservative Libertarian land that they’ve dreamed of ever since the first time they imagined themselves as John Galt after reading Atlas Shrugged, this is why Trump is funded by Ruzzia, but more importantly by the Mercers and other conservative American billionaires.

But has it really tho?

Just seems like a bunch of shit headed children fucking around and finding out.

I get the differences, but there are similarities, microfinance is just the banking world’s version of the gig economy, still predatory in nature, still exploiting the poor under the guise of helping the poor.
