Sounds like a war crime ...or made up. I don't have much faith in intelligence assests. Their loyalty doesnt tend to rest with The People. I didn't take it. So on the off...

I did. And I didn't count the accidental bombing by the Germans because even at the time it was understood to have been accidental. Regardless, it wasn't used as a...

modernpaladin replied to the thread Russia-paid influencers, trolls step up efforts to influence U.S. election.

Something like 3% of Americans havnt yet made up their mind as to who they'll be voting for yet. I dont see trolls, Russian or otherwise, finally getting them off the fence......

I support not giving them false hope by pushing them to avoid brokering peace. They think we're eventually going to jump in and defeat Russia for them. That's really the only...

modernpaladin replied to the thread The REAL threat to democracy.

The only way to make something constitutional out of something that is unconstitutional is to amend the constitution. So I dunno what else you think he could possibly mean...

modernpaladin liked Bob0627's post in the thread Why is lying worth protecting?.

Off topic but one of the rare things we can agree on. While it is indeed not provable, there is a mountain of circumstantial evidence indicating it was an inside job.

I fully oppose Trump's proposal to criminalize flag burning. However I fully support his proposal to try to amend the constitution ...and I'll be calling my representative to...

modernpaladin replied to the thread Supreme Court Oral argument in 5 days-self made firearms.

Last I checked, guns designed to be used only with black powder are not considered 'firearms' by the ATF.

modernpaladin replied to the thread Tucker Carlson interviews a WW2 revisionist historian..

You seem to be arguing in favor of fighting Russia down to the last Ukrainian. In what sense are we helping them by getting them wiped out? They have lost far more in human,...

modernpaladin replied to the thread Tucker Carlson interviews a WW2 revisionist historian..

What about Ukrainians? Do you expect 0 of them would trade not having their families killed and their country destroyed in exchange for losing control over the ethnic Russian...

the goal is to set precedents for banning so they can whittle away at lawful gun ownership

Some good thoughts.

I listen to Darryl Cooper on Spotify. Good stuff. Coincidentally, I just finished his ~6hr piece on the 1960s New York race riots and Teacher's Union Strike. Very interesting....

modernpaladin replied to the thread Why is MAHA 'right wing'?.

Ya, but its also kindof innevitable. Good times make weak men, weak men make bad times. Bad times make strong men, strong men make good times. And on it goes.

modernpaladin replied to the thread Why is MAHA 'right wing'?.

It goes back a lot further than that. Why does corporate personhood exist as an institution in the first place? That goes all the way back to the Roman Empire, the practical...

The seven corporations who own 99% of the world’s food supply will decide what is/isn’t junk food. Be careful what you wish for.

modernpaladin replied to the thread Why is MAHA 'right wing'?.

Yes they do, and a lot of it comes from regulatory capture.

modernpaladin replied to the thread Supreme Court Oral argument in 5 days-self made firearms.

Such technicalities ignorant of logic are meaningless. In order to bear arms, arms must be made. Are you suggesting you think it would be constitutional to ban all arms...
