First, that’s a lot of words to admit you compared burning Teslas to OBL. Second, you described a hate crime, not a terrorist attack.

And what is an analogy?

Terrorism by it’s definition needs to be calculated because it’s required to be in the furtherance of a specific outcome. You can’t have that without it being calculated.

Once people are pissed off on this level rational legitimacy no longer applies.

That’s what the anti government militias would like to believe. In reality when the country was founded they had a discussion about State Militias versus a Standing Army. The Federalists believed a standing army was a requirement and argued the state militias would be enough of a deterrent to the standing army doing oppressive stuff. The Anti Federalists did not want to risk it and argued we could easily make do with state militias and a standing Navy. The Anti Federalists and Federalists compromised with an amendment protecting the right to have militias and giving Congress the power to raise an Army in a time of war.

Really it’s a miracle we even have an Army and not just a giant Marine Corps under the Navy…

But yeah all the self defense, tyranny, and sporting shit didn’t come around until much much later. For example the shoot out at the OK Corral was an attempt by local law enforcement to disarm suspicious people in town. There wasn’t a concept of an uninhibited individual right to carry. Guns were tools required for frontier living and militia participation and laws reflected that.

If you want to define it as a political takeover then it’s legitimate action to protect the state from an unelected and ineligible person conducting a coup. After all words have meaning right?

Oh they’re including the people holding signs.

Buddy. This is pure rage. Terrorism is calculated. And comparing burning a Tesla to Osama Bin Laden is fucking laughable.

Not necessarily. Sinema did her bullshit impression of McCain at the very beginning of her term. She was toast from that moment on, AZ dems froze her out and started working to replace her from that moment on.

Thank god for your hindsight, without you we’d never realize what Trump is doing!

Shit if Biden had engaged with the 25th amendment in good faith and we’d had President Harris for a year already it would have been totally different.

ME1 had more political messages in it than people realize.

Schumer’s argument is shit. They’re going to go after government agencies with or without the funding bill. With the finding bill they get to choose. Without it they have to shut down everything. Passing that bill means they get more maneuvering room, not less.

Yeah I’m not worried about being a jerk to a jerk.

You mean the guy who said

Not everybody has the same shitty taste as you.

Yeah I kind of thought that deserved mockery.

That was kind of my point but apparently IPAs are a protected species.

The fact that you immediately went to IPAs… Ugh.

Yup

Honestly, that is a route it could go. More like Vietnam than Iraq. We just keep building up “advisors” until suddenly it’s a whole war.

It’s exactly like Collins and Manchin. They put up a big show of fighting and then just vote for it anyways.

The DNC must be abolished if this is their version of opposing the destruction of our civil service.

They were hoping the Republicans wouldn’t be able to pass a bill in the house.
