    I guess then Trump supporters are copycats, of a fraud.

    Sandy Hook families reach $73 million settlement with gun manufacturer Remington

    The only "how" of it is that Heller does not disallow gun control law. In some detail, the SC held that " Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example...

    Sandy Hook families reach $73 million settlement with gun manufacturer Remington

    I said, in so many words, that I believe the current makeup of the SC would be unlikely to approve a gun control law. Even though Heller said such isn't disallowed. If you can't respect an honest and forthright reply that respects your own post/question, I see no reason to continue debate.

    Sandy Hook families reach $73 million settlement with gun manufacturer Remington

    If responding to incessant statement, then redundant reply would be expected. Otherwise, I could refer the poster to past reply of the same nature and no further comment is necessary. Like I said, "...the SC doesn't have to respect any law, new or historical, and can decide whatever it wants."

    Fox News is MSM.

    Gun applicants in NY will have to hand over social accounts

    I would support a direct national pop vote as well as a representative one. Nonetheless, the EC is a fed system. The requirement of states to award EC votes based on proportional pop vote would be a national/fed requirement. As would dissolution of the EC. The result, intent and point of it...

    US Secret Service Assistant Director Tony Ornato leaves agency

    the DOJ needs to investigate Ornato for possible wrongdoing and if he should be prosecuted. However, does anybody think Ornato will ever spend a day in jail/prison or be fined any significant amount? Anything to the full extent of the law? Our legal system is showing you can get away with an...

    What Americans Think about Politics

    Unless you live in CA, you have no say in the matter in terms of a vote. Do you want it to be a nationwide requirement of a limit on state constitution that disallows such as CA? If not, you should protect the right of CA to have the constitution it does. States' rights.

    The Swedish experiment of doing remarkably little about Covid-19

    I wouldn't call better than avg "...among the lowest in Europe". Especially when it's the worst of all fellow Nordic countries, incl the Faeroe Islands. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

    Gun applicants in NY will have to hand over social accounts

    It's the same roadblock to eliminating the EC. I'm just pointing out electing the prez by pop vote can be accomplished without having to eliminate the EC.

    Biden's Job Rating Rises to 44%, Highest in a Year

    The Dems need to play this up and jawbone the accomplishments. Better than running away like they did with Obama in his midterms, when his popularity was about the same as Biden's. https://news.gallup.com/poll/202742/obama-averages-job-approval-president.aspx The diff is Biden's pop is on...

    Sen. Lindsey Graham said if Trump is prosecuted for mishandling classified information 'there will be riots in the streets'

    I hope what happens with Trump will be an exercise and demonstration of democracy that makes up for the Ford-Nixon mishap. I might be disappointed as I have been the last 48 yrs. as of this Sep 8.
  15. B

    Arrest Trump and as many trump insiders as possible most certainly Lindsey Graham. Get them off the streets and off the air.

    Such attitude reflects that of the Trump cult. The action is no diff than what sensible people decry of the extremist MAGA. Or it's just SNARK.
