  1. Of course Republicans are going to lie and make baseless unfounded claims . Its bullshiit. The Republicans voted FOR this bill just a month ago. No new or unrelated money was snuck in this time. I’ll let Jon Stewart do the talking again Show everyone where in the Pact Act is this 400 billion dollars blank check or unrelated spending that was added/snuck in…OR show section 805 c of the actual bill that explicitly states what the Toxic Exposure Fund can be used for. Next Show everyone what was added/snuck into the Pact Act that YOU voted for on June 16, that made you change to No in July. Be specific. Or were you for the bill before you were against it Senator Kerry…I mean Cruz. Next No one is playing politics with the Pact Act but you, Toomey and your band of merry monsters. Stop fucking around and pass the bill you already had passed. Thank you for coming to my TedCruz talk.
  2. As usual you don’t know what you’re talking about. The 2nd amendment clearly references “a well-regulated militia”. And it was only the controversial 5-4 decision that Scalia wrote in 2008 District of Columbia v. Heller that first ruled that the reference to militias was completely irrelevant “decorative” language that had nothing to do with an individuals right to bear arms.
  3. Republican senators fist-bump after defeating a bill to provide medical treatment for military personnel and veterans who got sick from exposure to cancer-causing toxic fumes while on duty. The Republicans had actually already passed this bill with bipartisan support but had to vote on it a second time due to a minor technical correction with the language Why the sudden Republican reversal? To own the Dems who sponsored the bill and get “payback” for the Dems having recently passed another totally unrelated bill they didn’t like So the Republicans sacrificed seriously ill military members and veterans, some of whom will probably now die as a result, on their alter of extremist hyper-partisanship. And they then openly gloated and celebrated on the senate chamber floor As Jon Stewart said sarcastically: “They celebrated their victory over veterans with cancer. Way to go, guys! You finally handed it to ‘big veteran with cancer.’ Well done!” Republicans are Disgusting.
  4. Nope not wrong. What you posted was just the 2008 conservative reimagining of the second amendment, not a fact.
  5. True True news. As evidenced by the facts and statistics
  6. Only the right for “well-regulateed militias” to bear arms is a right…everything else is interpretive
  7. Down in Missouri Republicans are getting convicted for COVID scams Missouri Republican lawmaker resigns after $900K COVID medical clinic fraud scheme conviction A Missouri Republican state representative has resigned days after being convicted of 22 federal charges, the majority of those offenses being linked to a $900,000 COVID-19 fraud scheme operated through medical clinics and a non-profit at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. State Rep. Tricia Derges stepped down Friday from her seat representing Christian County (District 140) in the Missouri House of Representatives, KOLR reported. Her resignation came four days after she was convicted on June 28 by a federal trial jury for what prosecutors described as a nearly $900,000 COVID-19 fraud scheme, as well as a separate $200,000 fraud scheme in which she made false claims about a fake stem cell treatment marketed through her clinics in southern Missouri, and for illegally providing prescription drugs to clients of those clinics. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/missouri-republican-resigns-900k-covid-fraud-scheme-conviction.amp
  8. Thia time in Maryland, another day, another Republican crook is bagged Baltimore County Republican accused of theft, misconduct in office State Del. Rick Impallaria has been charged with several counts of theft and misconduct in office. The Baltimore County Republican used $92,800 in state funds to pay rent on a space where he stored personal belongings, according to the Office of the State Prosecutor. His district also includes parts of Harford county. Though Impallaria said the rent was for a “district office,” the space was outside his district and adjacent to his personal cottage. It also shared a landlord with his personal cottage. ….Impallaria also allegedly spent $2,405.30 in state funds on campaign fundraising letters. Prosecutors say he facilitated the creation of an invoice that made it appear those funds were paying for office furniture, but he never actually bought the furniture https://www.wypr.org/wypr-news/2022-07-27/baltimore-county-republican-accused-of-theft-misconduct-in-office
  9. Meanwhile over on the Republican perverts file, Republicans continue to give Saudi sheiks a run foe their money on the conservative sexual predator front: Oklahoma College Republicans chairman arrested OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – The Chairman of Oklahoma College Republicans has been arrested on serious charges. Officials say Jonathan Hernandez faces charges of lewd or indecent proposals or acts to a minor, and sodomy...Ethics records show he was paid to work for Oklahoma Education Secretary Ryan Walters’ campaign. https://kfor.com/news/local/oklahoma-college-republicans-chairman-arrested/amp/
  10. Republican senate candidate running for election under a fake name amd who works in am adult bookstore is arrested for false child trafficking accusations made up to get publicity Because the GOP is just that batshit these days GOP Senate candidate arrested for allegedly making false child trafficking report A Maryland Republican running for U.S. Senate was arrested Friday on allegations of falsely claiming to have information about child sex trafficking, according to a releasefrom the Harford County Sheriff’s Office. Ryan Dark White, 54, running for Senate as “Dr. Jon McGreevey,” told police that a man at the Edgewood, Md., adult bookstore where he works was forcing a young girl to perform sex acts on male customers. “It is shameful that a candidate for public office would make up such a story and use it to further his own political agenda,” Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler said in the statement. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3563540-gop-senate-candidate-arrested-for-allegedly-making-false-child-trafficking-report/amp/
  11. Yet Another Republican crook faces justice for his crime of rapacious greed. The list never ends. Oh and look his $1.5 Million dollar scheme also involved his mistress and his cheated-on wife, just like the convicted Republican felon Dinesh D’Souza. Former GOP Rep. Stephen Buyer charged with insider trading by federal prosecutors, SEC PUBLISHED MON, JUL 25 2022 11:01 AM EDTUPDATED MON, JUL 25 2022 8:52 PM EDT The criminal and civil actions both allege that Buyer used multiple investment accounts owned or co-owned by his wife, a former mistress, his son and his cousin for stock transactions he executed after obtaining nonpublic information while working as a consultant for two different companies after leaving Congress in 2011 Buyer also allegedly engaged in elaborate schemes to cover up the source of his information, according to the criminal indictment issued against him by a grand jury in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. That indictment charges him with four counts of securities fraud. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/07/25/sec-charges-former-gop-rep-stephen-buyer-with-insider-trading-.html https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/07/25/sec-charges-former-gop-rep-stephen-buyer-with-insider-trading-.html https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/07/25/sec-charges-former-gop-rep-stephen-buyer-with-i
  12. But you’ve stated that decisions are best left to states. If that’s the case, Why not have “activist judges” “invent” an interpretation that gives the power to the states just like they did with abortion? Its only recent right wing interpretations of the second amendment that have granted such broad constitutional protections.
  13. Not true gun control works in every country that uses it.
  14. So for USA, the standard is Middle Eastern dictatorships where terrorist attacks are common. But that measure everything is fine amd compares favourably. Gotcha And even in the ME it’s organized terror cells working towards a purpose and not random disgruntled citizens with a few screws loose who just go on a killing spree one day
  15. Sure sure. Any day now…it’s only coming up on 2 years and you still have jack but keep hope alive! Care to place another $100 wager? ?
  16. You nee government regulation to REQUIRE you to be well trained an educated, genius.
  17. Bullshit. Most mass shooters use legally owned guns. Most mass shooters are law-abiding citizens whose mental health deteriorates until they do something crazy The recent mass shooters all used legally purchased firearms In Canada it’s almost impossible for anyone who’s not already a criminal with criminal connections to buy a gun illegally. I have no idea where to buy am illegal gun….do you
  18. Locking people up for a cough never happened. Thanks t just more of your made up nonsense. The rest of what you describe has been Republican standard operating procedure for decades, it’s hilarious that you would try to put that on anyone else USA is the only country in the world with regular mass shootings. The only things that set them apart is their ridiculous gun laws and the high prevalence of right wing extremists.
  19. 1. The US “instant background check” is heavily flawed and full of loopholes thanks to Republican interference. It only checks criminal convictions and court orders and doesn’t apply to private sales or gun show sales. Multiple mass shooters have been able to purchase firearms despite having criminal concoctions that the Instant background check didn’t detect: including right wing extremist Dylan Roof and the Sutherland Springs shooter. In Switzerland the local police actually come out and conduct interviews with the applicant and people who know them, its not just an automated check of convictions. Given that this week’s mass shooter legally purchased his guns despite having a history of posting disturbing content online and was a known weirdo loner it’s likely he wouldn’t have been allowed to do so in Switzerland. Funny none of America’s many many mass shooters and school shooters had anything to do with cartels or illegal immigration. Stop inventing distractions and stop pretending Democrats are somehow to blame for the weather. If anything it was Republicans Iran-Contra cocaine smuggling enterprise that turned Central and South American drug smuggling from a tiny cottage industry for local small-time criminals into a major worldwide criminal operation. And then Reagan’s “war on drugs” to try and offset a problem they created which was carried forward by every Republican and Democrat since only poured gasoline on the fire. 2. False, True but so what, and False 3. So what. Like I said the Swiss are trained and educated and guns are throughly regulated. Exactly the opposite of USA.
  20. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Switzerland actually has very strict gun control rules that are more similar to Canada than the US: the Swiss require ownership permits and thorough background checks, firearms are registered with law enforcement and owners even have to pass a practical competency test where they demonstrate they know how to load and operate the firearm before they’re allowed to get a license which is something not even Canada has. You’re confused by conservative propaganda that tries to distort the fact that the Swiss simply have a very high gun ownership participation rate, but just as widespread automobile ownership doesn’t prove a country has lax automobile laws, widespread gun ownership doesn’t mean lax gun laws. The Swiss require mandatory full-time military service from all males, followed in most cases by mandatory part-time reserve duty for most of their adult life. Swiss citizens can purchase their service weapon after their full-time duty and keep their firearms at home. Half of all privately owned firearms in Switzerland are former military issue. So most Swiss gun owners are actually trained professionals who take firearms seriously, not unskilled rednecks wanting a cool toy to make up for a small dick and lack of success with women. By the way, Switzerland still has one of the worst gun crime rates in Europe. It’s not correlation its causation.
  21. And yet by all objective evidence everything you say is false. USA is the crime-ridden country where innocent people and schoolchildren are regularly massacred, including today’s July 4 massacre. These regular American events happen rarely or even never in Canada, European countries and elsewhere in the developed world.
  22. No I’m a university educated professional while you’re a lonely shit-shoveler with grade school education who is so emotionally invested in his political identity you can’t even use your limited knowledge to grasp basic concepts ONE MORE TIME FOR THE DROPOUTS IN THE CHEAP SEATS 1) As I’ve said several times already and none of you righties can grasp: Just because something isn’t explicitly banned under criminal laws doesn’t mean it’s allowed and permitted. FOR EXAMPLE:There a no criminal laws that specifically say a doctor can’t amputate your arm to treat a paper cut on your finger…do you think that means such a thing happens, or that doctors wouldn’t face consequences if they did so? ANSWER THE QUESTION 2) There are no abortions performed 1 minute before crowning or any such nonsense. In fact abortions after 20 weeks while perfectly legal in Canada are so rare and only medically acceptable in such exceptionally extreme situations that patients often have to be referred to the US because there just aren’t enough clinics with experience given the extreme rarity of it.
  23. So then why not return gun rights to the states too then if they’re so much better at deciding what’s best?
