The 2nd was a firearm red flag law allowing the courts to remove guns from individuals who are proven to exhibit signs of wanting to hurt themselves or others. Proof would require to come from police, family or household members. This measure passed.

To be fair they aren't any brighter than the people who elected Dump in the first place. Most of them saw an opportunity for financial gain and the others are so stupid they actually believed taking on their roles would mean they could "stifle the corruption" just to find out they are the corruption

In more ways than one, unfortunately.

My cousin's tell their kids I'm their uncle and my wife is their aunt. When they're old enough to understand family trees we'll tell them we're cousins but I mean if they keep calling us uncle and aunt I won't stop them either.

Can you imagine what would happen if you or me said "I don't know." As often as Johnson, (or really anybody from the current administration does for that matter) at our own jobs? We'd be unemployed.

When are you guys going to stop talking and start working? Y'all could runaway with elections if you spent a fucking second of your time in office catering to your constituents instead of AIPAC

Translation: "How are we going to stay rich and powerful of there's no new people to do the jobs of their parents while we sit here and do nothing off of the backs of every day people!"

I mean, it's the bare fucking minimum, and you know WaPo waited until they saw enough other names on the list before they decided to refuse too. The press has no loyalty to the people, and the bare minimum when it comes to combating tyranny

Why? They get what they vote for, enough pandering to people who don't give a flying fuck about you or anybody who thinks like you... We can't keep taking the high road for people who wouldn't even consider doing it for us. Enough is enough.

OH, SO THEY DO ALWAYS TRAVEL IN THE BACK OF UHAULS.

It begs the question, if it is tyranny and we did stand up, how are we supposed to be viewed as anything but the traitors? Where is the line for the ones who are witnessing these atrocities and choosing to ignore it and support the true aggressors? I fear the only way out is to go all the way in.

At what point are we "allowed" to defend ourselves? ICE can just show up at places of work and rip people from their lives but protesters show up where they work and they are getting beaten? Tear gassed? Even shot? And then MAGA spins it to make it look like the protesters are the aggressors...

Anybody else starting to wonder if Hamas is even real at this point?

That would require Democrats to actually care about their constituents and not just lining their pockets MAGA may be a brain dead cult but they use the system to their advantage to.oush their agenda. Dems in office only care about reelection. Jefferies is a pansy just like Schumer. None of them care

They're just going to stop reporting any of those metrics. If they don't talk about them then they don't exist...

I'm really trying to not have the bleakest outlook possible but history tells us that ignoring the signs only leads to the thing you're hoping to avoid. It's about vigilance at this point.

The other piece of this is that by bending the knee they are assuming Dump won't keep hitting them up for more. It's the mobster model, he's showing them that he can extort them however he pleases. Sending military into cities is extortion in the same way killing JK live is for extorting the media

Yeah I mean, it would be great but they would have to make a choice between doing what's right and making money and right now we're in late stage capitalism. They will always choose money and power over the people.

That's fine, but, if keeping their license means censorship or cherry picking what they choose to speak about or on, what's the point in having them at all? To be an arm for fascism?
