"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...
The only way to assure individual liberty is to hand unprecedented governmental power to the guy engaged in blatant democratic backsliding
Kavanaugh: Broad delegations to unaccountable agencies are dangerous for individual liberty! We have used the major questions doctrine to prevent agencies from overreaching.

None of these people ever really meant anything to me. Stallone, perhaps for a minute but the whole "Rambo" schtick grew wearisome.

Sylvester Stallone
Members of the rock band KISS.
Gloria Gaynor

I just saw a Youtube pre-roll ad for a magnetic target that was demoed on a kitchen fridge. It comes with a bullet sized laser that you load into YOUR ACTUAL HANDGUN to dry fire in your house.
Does this seem like a really bad idea to anyone else?
