&lt;i&gt;I have learned not to take things personally so long ago that it just comes naturally, now. Maybe it will for you before too long as well. &lt;/i&gt;

You and JL are fine with the double standard. Like I said, why wouldn&#039;t you be? Whereas, I&#039;ll call it out for exactly what it is every time and make no apologies in the doing it. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;Was that necessary? &lt;/i&gt;

Considering Don told JL and Michale they were &quot;being fucking asshole scumbags&quot; and &quot;go fuck yourselves&quot; and then called them &quot;pieces of shit that are responsible for people dying&quot; and then he got redundant (as he does) and again called them &quot;asshole scumbags&quot; and asked the whole of Weigantia: &quot;What the fuck is wrong with all of you that you cannot be anything but be assholes?&quot; Lastly, he told them to &quot;man up or shut up and fuck off.&quot; As if.

Don seems to be under the perpetual mistaken impression that the author and commenters on this blog are somehow required to give lip service to his personal bullshit, and when we all refuse and no one will discuss it... because &quot;been there, done that,&quot;... he cannot stop himself from posting multiple filthy rants and desperate cries for the attention he believes he is owed, which is patently absurd and laughable on its face. 

So, &lt;b&gt;yes&lt;/b&gt;, that was definitely necessary. 

It&#039;s not often that one will find a chance to defend the whole of Weigantia, including Michale (name check) so if you don&#039;t like that I did it, I can assure you that I&#039;ll do it again the first opportunity that presents itself.

Do you think Don will answer my question asking if he knows how stupid he sounds? Probably not since I&#039;ve long since refused to discuss his &quot;demands&quot; and have no plans to ever discuss that bullshit again in the future. Me and CW have that in common. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;I think if you tried as hard as Michale has been trying, life in Weigantia would be much improved! &lt;/i&gt;

Like I said to JL, why wouldn&#039;t you? He licks your ass. Tosses out all the performative &quot;I won&#039;t stoop&quot; bullshit and meanwhile never stopped the routine of his, tossing out the same old disparaging terms like &quot;Party slave&quot; and continuing the same old stale routine of obsessing about me personally and just outright fabricating bullshit about other posters personally... 

AND he knows he&#039;s doing this; he&#039;s neither dumb nor blind. He&#039;s just not doing it to you personally the way he continues to do it to others, and I will definitely be responding accordingly. If he continues the LYING and disparaging routine of discussing me personally versus debating political issues (same shit, different day), I will be calling &quot;balls and strikes&quot; on it every time. The double-standard routine ain&#039;t happening with me. It&#039;s that simple. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;I dunno, Kick ... &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, you are correct; you don&#039;t know. 

&lt;i&gt;that sounds an awful lot like your feelings have been ruffled ... &lt;/i&gt;

Then it&#039;s something you&#039;re reading into it that isn&#039;t there, Elizabeth. It&#039;s the same stale routine of his, Elizabeth; after thousands of times of seeing it performed day in and day out on myself and other posters, I find it odd that anyone who reads this comments section would actually believe it could ruffle anybody here. Calling out the repetitive routine for what it is should not be construed as meaning it could ruffle anybody. 

It&#039;s really no different than Don Harris&#039;s regular routine, and I cannot fathom how anyone who&#039;s seen that repetitive type posting over and over ad nauseam would allow themselves to be &quot;ruffled&quot; by it. Seen it once; seen it a thousand times... and just calling it out for what it is. #SSDD

<p>It's really no different than Don Harris's regular routine, and I cannot fathom how anyone who's seen that repetitive type posting over and over ad nauseam would allow themselves to be "ruffled" by it. Seen it once; seen it a thousand times... and just calling it out for what it is. #SSDD </p>

Unpossible, Russ! Weren&#039;t we assured they would be locking her up... THIS TIME!?

Also, when Michael Flynn lies to the FBI, it is a &quot;process crime.&quot; When Michael Sussmann is accused of doing the same thing, it is LOCK UP HILLARY AND ALL DEMOCRATS!

We tried to warn the Righties about this, did we not, Russ? That it was a single count of lying to the FBI and nothing more, nothing to get lathered up about. It was a weak bullshit case to begin with, and Durham knew it. The right-wingnut propaganda machine blew it up and wound them all up... AGAIN... just like always. It&#039;s a shame they keep falling for the right-wingnut propaganda fantasies, but here we are.

Love you, Russ! :)</description>

Honest question: Do you seriously NOT have a clue how stupid you sound?

You seem infinitely upset that posters won&#039;t discuss your bullshit... as if it&#039;s somehow a requirement that we hash and rehash your personal crusade over and over ad nauseam. Get a clue, Don. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;If that is true then your Party affiliation is determined by how you vote.. &lt;/i&gt;

Then you ARE a Republican!  

&lt;i&gt;And you have made it clear you ALWAYS vote Democrat.. &lt;/i&gt;

No, I have not. No, I do not. Do you ever stop fabricating things about others that you know nothing about? Rhetorical question. 

&lt;i&gt;Ergo, you are a Democrat... &lt;/i&gt;

Ergo, you are full of shit up to your eyeballs. :D

&lt;i&gt;But I DO find it interesting that you are going to such lengths to try and show me you are NOT a Democrat.. That you are so insistent on dis-avowing your Democrat Bona Fides.. &lt;/i&gt;

Not surprisingly, you are confusing my responses to your repetitive and incessant LIES and fabrications about me personally with me going to &quot;such lenghts.&quot; If you could stop yourself from the constant LYING and FABRICATING obsessions and LIES about me personally, there would naturally be no need to respond. This ain&#039;t rocket science. 

&lt;i&gt;It&#039;s like you AGREE with me that being a Democrat and voting Democrat is BAD... :D &lt;/i&gt;

No... it&#039;s like you&#039;re obsessed with LYING and making up BULLSHIT about me personally ALL THE TIME... therefore it&#039;s just indicative of your regular routine that rarely varies wherein you MAKE SHIT UP about others (same as always) and then whine like a victim if anyone responds in kind. 

&lt;i&gt;That&#039;s great that we can find common ground... &lt;/i&gt;

Disingenuous... same LIES, different day. 

&lt;i&gt;I hope we can continue such fruitful discussions.. &lt;/i&gt;

Your LYING routine isn&#039;t fruitful. It&#039;s the same old LYING drivel and spew that is indicative of your regular routine of making up BULLSHIT. You can&#039;t seem to stop yourself from obsessing about me personally and just repeating your LIES. Then you will whine like a toddler and claim you&#039;re being victimized if I respond. Lather, rinse, repeat. Same shit... different day. 

You seem incapable of stopping yourself from lying about me personally. If you&#039;re going to continue to go to &quot;such lengths&quot; to LIE, then it shouldn&#039;t surprise anyone if I continue to correct your obvious and never-ending LIES. If only you could actually stop yourself versus just the obvious and transparent pretending you&#039;ve stopped. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;In Kick&#039;s defense, I have been a tad snarky myself.. &lt;/i&gt;

Correct. 

&lt;i&gt;I will endeavor to be a little more understanding of her feelings.. &lt;/i&gt;

Having spent decades chewing up fabricating hotshot self-righteous so-called &quot;patriots&quot; on a right regular basis, I can assure you my &quot;feelings&quot; are just fine. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;Awesome that you name checked me again!! :D I love it!! :D &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, I&#039;m still awesome. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;Once again, you respond!! That is soooo awesome!!! :D

~ Michale &lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;i&gt;No, that&#039;s not what I said in this instance..&lt;/i&gt;

Proving beyond doubt that you&#039;re not the only one who can twist around the words of others. 

&lt;i&gt;Many MANY US soldiers are in the service for the money and the job.. &lt;/i&gt;

You still need &quot;for wages&quot; explained to you? Your attempt to obfuscate the debate and move the goal posts is hereby met with a big &quot;NOT RELEVANT.&quot; It&#039;s not relevant to the discussion wherein you keep claiming that all mass murderers are &quot;by definition mentally ill.&quot; Nice try, though. *shakes head*

&lt;i&gt;I can personally attest to that fact. You cannot...&lt;/i&gt;

You&#039;re fabricating AGAIN, and I would especially like to thank you ever so much for being one of the millions of taxpayers who will pay for my TRICARE medical insurance for the remainder of my life. Thank you! 

As we&#039;ve discussed before, you don&#039;t have TRICARE because your career wasn&#039;t lengthy enough to earn that benefit. Tough break for short timers... such are the perils of those who&#039;ve spent more time talking about their military service than the actual time they spent in the service. 

&lt;i&gt;You seem to want to ignore the facts here.. &lt;/i&gt;

Said the guy who INVENTS facts about others. :D

But back to the debate versus the pathetic attempts at goal post moving:

Those who commit mass murders are not necessarily &quot;by definition mentally ill.&quot; Some of them are racists, xenophobes, mercenaries, soldiers, terrorists, etc. 

Racism isn&#039;t mental illness. 
Vengeance/revenge isn&#039;t mental illness. 
Mass murder for wages isn&#039;t mental illness. 
Religious bigotry isn&#039;t mental illness. 

Some people who commit mass shootings aren&#039;t mentally ill. Those are the facts! :D</description>

&lt;i&gt;Michale is doing his solid best to avoid personal attacks, so i don&#039;t think it&#039;s overstepping to ask you to tone down the snark as well. &lt;/i&gt;

Michale is doing his &quot;solid best&quot;!? 

If his &quot;solid best&quot; is to continue to refer to commenters as a &quot;Party slave&quot; and to accuse a commenter of having &quot;lapses&quot; and &quot;reading comprehension issues&quot; and to smugly claim that maybe JL will explain something to me, and continuing to just outright fabricate bullshit about the military service of others and the constant willful ignorance and fabrications about the political Party affiliation of others, then you can ask me to tone it down until the cows come home, and I&#039;ll respond in kind to his regular stale and unvaried routine.

&lt;i&gt;If the manner of request leaves something to be desired, at least the effort must be lauded. &lt;/i&gt;

The effort? Must be lauded? Maybe it seems that way to you because he doesn&#039;t refer to you as a &quot;Party slave&quot; and continue to invent fabrications about you and put words in your mouth that you never said and invent fabrications about your Party affiliation and military service and continue to talk down to you smugly like a misogynistic prig would do. 

Maybe Elizabeth Miller will explain it to you. Yes, kidding. 

&lt;i&gt;That&#039;s how I see it at least. &lt;/i&gt;

Why wouldn&#039;t you? He licks your ass (as per his usual) while continuing to personally insult myself and others in the same regular fashion he always has.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Nypoet, Bashi, Kick- &lt;/i&gt;

What&#039;s this? Do I hear a faint whining coming from Jersey?

&lt;i&gt;The pie trolling is not working for you. &lt;/i&gt;

Your incessant whining and potty mouth stand in direct contradiction to this ridiculous assertion of yours. Duh.

&lt;i&gt;It was designed to marginalize me and in your demented minds marginalize One Demand because you can&#039;t make a rational argument against One Demand. &lt;/i&gt;

You think pie was designed to marginalize you? Narcissist much!? I am not constrained to point out that your failed attempts at political activism needed no one&#039;s help in order to fail... it already had you. 

&lt;i&gt;It was designed to make this place unpleasant for me to try to get me to leave. &lt;/i&gt;

Stay, leave, who really gives a shit? I will say, if I was the poster who hands down had cornered the Weigantian market on trolling for attention, I am quite certain I wouldn&#039;t deign to criticize others... lest I wished to shine a ginormous honking klieg light on my own obviously pathetic modus operandi. 

&lt;i&gt;And I am not leaving. &lt;/i&gt;

Then suck it up and quit whining like an effing victim over pie and learn to deal with pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, Baked Alaska, and/or pie. 

&lt;i&gt;But as the rest of you can violate the rules by trolling, lying and dodging then there is no reason I should have to obey the rules on my behavior. &lt;/i&gt;

Rules? Whose rules? Your rules? You can take your rules and stick them right square into your pie hole.

&lt;i&gt;I am not trolling the author. &lt;/i&gt;

If the author says you are a trolling troll (and he did), you don&#039;t get to claim you&#039;re &quot;not trolling.&quot; Those are the rules of Pie Club. 

&lt;i&gt;I am providing my opinion as in CW&#039;s mission statement where he says he relies on commenters to get him back on track when he is not living up to the rest of his mission statement which says that he will inform citizens about ideas like One Demand and respect the opinions of all commenters. CW ignoring me is not respecting my opinions.&lt;/i&gt;

We are providing our opinion of pie, and you can shove your opinions right square into that pie whole of yours if you don&#039;t like our comments. 

&lt;i&gt;The trolling by the rest of you is like Lucy pulling the football away when Charlie Brown attempts to kick it.&lt;/i&gt;

Your complaints about trolling is like Pigpen whining about somebody travelling in his own personal dust cloud.

&lt;i&gt;I put up with it remaining within the rules while the rest of you continue to ignore the rules repeatedly to give you a chance to do the right thing but you all continued to pull the football away. &lt;/i&gt;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH2w6Oxx0kQ

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see

Dust in the Wind

&lt;i&gt;Typical cult behavior from the assholes that comment here. &lt;/i&gt;

So you&#039;re saying you&#039;re an &quot;asshole&quot;?

&lt;i&gt;But please prove me wrong.&lt;/i&gt;

Been there, done that: Hard pass from me and Russ on that one. :D</description>

<p><i>I am providing my opinion as in CW's mission statement where he says he relies on commenters to get him back on track when he is not living up to the rest of his mission statement which says that he will inform citizens about ideas like One Demand and respect the opinions of all commenters.

<p>Your complaints about trolling is like Pigpen whining about somebody travelling in his own personal dust cloud.</p>
<p><i>I put up with it remaining within the rules while the rest of you continue to ignore the rules repeatedly to give you a chance to do the right thing but you all continued to pull the football away. </i></p>

&lt;i&gt;Pie can and will make a difference. 90% of Americans like pie, a figure unmatched by any politician in history.&lt;/i&gt;

It&#039;s undeniable. I&#039;m enjoying a slice of wonderful chocolate pie right now! 

&lt;i&gt;Pie is loved by Joe Biden and feared by Donald Trump, and those are the stone cold facts. &lt;/i&gt;

With an ass like Trump&#039;s, who wouldn&#039;t fear all manner of various sweets?

&lt;i&gt;It&#039;s high time we all finally give pie the recognition it deserves. &lt;/i&gt;

I have respect for pie! :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;Senility... Dementia... Stone cold incompetence... &lt;/i&gt;

Sounds like the big loser, former President Donald Trump.

&lt;i&gt;That&#039;s the Democrat pick for POTUS.. :^/ &lt;/i&gt;

The &quot;pick&quot;? Unpossible! 

You assured us all in 1000+ whiny comment boxes that Biden was toast! :D</description>

&lt;i&gt;Elon Musk’s Ultimatum to Tesla Execs: Return to the Office or Get Out &lt;/i&gt;

The owner makes the rules, does he not? This ain&#039;t rocket science, is it? If Musk wants the Tesla CEOs to return to the office and work in-house versus continuing to work from home, he dang sure gets to make that determination. 

&lt;i&gt;What a novel concept..

WORK OR BE FIRED &lt;/i&gt;

More like &quot;return to work in-house&quot; or be fired, but yeah, owners all across America are the ones who call the balls and strikes at their privately owned ventures (within legal confines), as is their right. 

&lt;i&gt;Democrats should take note of this.. &lt;/i&gt;

Democrats! I would wager without a scintilla of hesitation that the vast majority of Tesla&#039;s fat-cat CEOs are Republicans, and it&#039;s hysterical how you somehow manage to twist every headline into a rant about Democrats without even a hint of an attempt on your part to connect the ginormous honking dots. Heh.

&lt;i&gt;Their &quot;feelings&quot; do not trump jack shit... &lt;/i&gt;

I know, right! Exactly like those righty sniveling whining wingnuts still butthurt over decisions by Jack Dorsey and &quot;the media&quot; regarding what they&#039;ll report. No privately owned company was required to run Rudy Giuliani&#039;s bullshit Hunter Biden unverifiable story being shopped around just before the election that even the Fox News regular anchors wouldn&#039;t run because it smelled like &quot;same shit, different day&quot; election interference involving conspiracy (again) with foreign agents in yet another attempt to smear his political opponents in violation of multiple federal statutes including FARA.

Too damn bad, Righties! It is hysterical to watch their repetitive whining sniveling shedding of tears, but that &quot;privately owned knife&quot; cuts all kinds of ways notwithstanding their incessant pissy fits and pathetic attempts to enact laws that undermine the freedom of privately owned companies in America. 

&lt;b&gt;So, to recap:&lt;/b&gt;

Righty sniveling rants also will NOT &quot;trump jack shit&quot; no matter how much they collectively snivel and cry in their perpetual grievance and whining victimhood! :D</description>

		<description>Michale,

Making small amounts of some hard drugs illegal is killing people. So those laws aren&#039;t working, either. Time for something different. We&#039;ll see how it goes.

This has nothing to do with &quot;lazy&quot; law enforcement officials. :(</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;So in conclusion… all of your excuses that banning certain guns won’t prevent criminals from using them is bogus!

But thanks for admitting that Florida’s “anti-grooming law” (that you already admitted doesn’t say or do anything about grooming) is a law meant to prevent something that NEVER HAPPENS!&lt;/I&gt;

Of course, I never conceded nothing of the sort..

I simply pointed out that THAT is what YOU are claiming..</description>

And there has NEVER... let me repeat that for those who still drink the Democrat koolaid.... **NEVER** been an instance where that .1% was used in a Crowd Based Mass Shooting...

*** NEVER ***

Ya&#039;all go all hysterical about GOP putting up laws against something that is never done..

		<description>&lt;B&gt;B.C. to decriminalize possession of small amounts of ‘hard’ drugs such as cocaine, fentanyl and heroin&lt;/B&gt;

It&#039;s still as I said it was..


Lazy people don&#039;t want to put effort into enforcing the law, so they decriminalize instead..

Making illegal drugs legal doesn&#039;t do SQUAT to solve any addition  problems..


It exacerbates them..</description>

WTF?

Answer: My Poker Stars handle! :) But, I don&#039;t play anymore, not since they changed the format and it is no longer any fun. Ahem.

The acronym actually stood for, ah, Win The Future. Remember that short-lived Obama/Biden adminstration slogan? Heh.</description>

		<description>JL,

I would be happy to debate you on this..

But one thing to keep in mind..

Do we have Birthday Pies??  Do we have Wedding Pies??  Of course not..  We have Birthday CAKES...  We have Wedding CAKES...

ANY event of any significance is celebrated with CAKE... 

Pie is the red-headed step-child of the dessert world..  Tolerated, but never really welcome..

&lt;B&gt;The first cakes were very different from what we eat today. They were more bread-like and sweetened with honey. Nuts and dried fruits were often added. According to the food historians, the ancient Egyptians (2700 - 1100 B.C.E) were the first culture to show evidence of advanced baking skills.&lt;/B&gt;

Now PIE, on th other hand, is a relative newcomer..

&lt;B&gt; In medieval England, they were called pyes, and instead of being predominantly sweet, they were most often filled with meat — beef, lamb, wild duck, magpie pigeon — spiced with pepper, currants or dates.&lt;/B&gt;

Bleech...   Pies are the WORST!!!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;When a person registers to vote in Texas, they do not register with any kind of party affiliation.&lt;/I&gt;

If that is true then your Party affiliation is determined by how you vote..

And you have made it clear you ALWAYS vote Democrat..

Ergo, you are a Democrat...

Your own claims prove that beyond any doubt..

Thanx for making that clear to all..  :D

But I DO find it interesting that you are going to such lengths to try and show me you are NOT a Democrat..  That you are so insistent on dis-avowing your Democrat Bona Fides..

It&#039;s like you AGREE with me that being a Democrat and voting Democrat is BAD...  :D

That&#039;s great that we can find common ground...

I hope we can continue such fruitful discussions..  It&#039;s awesome!!  :D</description>

		<description>Michale
63

&lt;i&gt;Thank you soo much for your response.. It&#039;s always awesome to see you name-check me.. :D &lt;/i&gt;

Direct responses to comments versus just being name checked by somebody in the middle of a post that isn&#039;t in response to one of their comments are two slightly different things, but you&#039;re welcome anyway. Yes, I am still awesome!

&lt;i&gt;Let&#039;s me know yer thinking of me.. Awwwww how sweet.. :D &lt;/i&gt;

As I said, a response to your comments versus the name checking in a post that isn&#039;t a direct response to me personally (like you did on the post at issue) are slightly different. If I talk about you outside of a response to you, that is more of a name check versus a response to your incorrect propaganda/information. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;I&#039;m not a Democrat,

~ Kick &lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;i&gt;A claim as yet unsupported by any facts.. &lt;/i&gt;

*Buzzer* Incorrect AGAIN. Your forgetfulness is a feature and a bug. Heh. As I&#039;ve explained before, including links: 

&lt;b&gt;When a person registers to vote in Texas, they do not register with any kind of party affiliation. &lt;/b&gt;

This is (still) basic stuff. Texas (still) has open primaries too. 

&lt;i&gt;Much like you Democrats and their &quot;useless prattling&quot; about revoking or altering the 2nd Amendment, eh? :D &lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;m (still) not a Democrat, and I&#039;ve heard of no Democrats that are actually prattling on and on incessantly regarding repealing any of the amendments contained in the Bill of Rights. You don&#039;t have to alter anything in the Second Amendment to enact gun safety measures; anyone making that claim is either misinformed or lying or both. 

The prattling I&#039;ve heard recently that concerns the Bill of Rights is regarding Ron DeSantis and his failed attempts to control social media:

&lt;blockquote&gt;A three-judge panel of the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously concluded that it was overreach for DeSantis and the Republican-led Florida Legislature to tell the social media companies how to conduct their work under the Constitution&#039;s free speech guarantee.

“Put simply, with minor exceptions, the government can&#039;t tell a private person or entity what to say or how to say it,” said Circuit Judge Kevin Newsom, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, in the opinion. “We hold that it is substantially likely that social media companies — even the biggest ones — are private actors whose rights the First Amendment protects.”

https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2022-05-23/appeals-court-florida-law-on-social-media-unconstitutional &lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;i&gt;So, we are in agreement.. &lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;d say that&#039;s a longshot. 

&lt;i&gt;Altering or revoking the 2nd that you and your Democrats push is nothing but useless prattling.. &lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;m not a Democrat; anyone on this forum continuing to assert repeatedly that I am at this point in time is either:

(1) new to the comments section
(2) willfully ignorant of facts
(3) unable to retain repetitive concepts
(4) bereft of a genuine argument so falls back repeatedly on that lie
(5) most of the above
(6) I&#039;m sure there are more

&lt;i&gt;Always nice ta have common ground with ya.. :D &lt;/i&gt;

(7) Disingenuous. :)</description>

		<description>@m,

How about it, if cw okays a guest column would you be willing to faithfully debate with me the merits of insurgent pie versus the big cake hegemony? I think we can at least agree that desserts are baked into the American political process, and any attempt to make some sort of joke out of it is completely tasteless and inaccurate.</description>

This claim has been REPEATEDLY debunked as a completely and utterly false claim..

		<description>@kick,
Michale is doing his solid best to avoid personal attacks, so i don&#039;t think it&#039;s overstepping to ask you to tone down the snark as well. If the manner of request leaves something to be desired, at least the effort must be lauded. That&#039;s how I see it at least.</description>

*
Your invented fabrications about me (and others) and your repetitive insistence of people&#039;s &quot;ignorance&quot; speaks volumes about &quot;Weigantia&#039;s Flame War past.&quot;

As for FACTS, the FACT is, I just proved you wrong AGAIN with FACTS when you pointed out that &quot;.45 is considered a high caliber weapon..&quot; and I provided a link proving that any ammunition under .50 is considered small caliber. What you are claiming as high caliber actually is considered small caliber. This is basic Army stuff, yet you don&#039;t seem to have a grasp of it... AT... ALL. 

You should be thanking me for laying to rest all those hysterical repetitive theories of yours about &quot;wearing the uniform.&quot; You have to be able to retain knowledge; there&#039;s nothing magical about &quot;wearing the uniform&quot; like you seem to keep inferring there is. 

You&#039;re welcome!

&lt;i&gt;Always trying to bring back the flame wars that she is so at home in.. &lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;m seeing a pattern developing with you lately wherein when you are proven wrong by FACTS, you are resorting to accusing the commenter of flame wars. It&#039;s so cute! Yet equally transparent! :D 

&lt;i&gt;Sorry, Kick.. Not going to let you drag me down to your pitiful level of flame wars... &lt;/i&gt;

You should be sorry... for all kinds of obvious reasons. That victim routine of yours is hysterical... yet equally transparent. Heh.

&lt;i&gt;That&#039;s your bailiwick and yours alone.. &lt;/i&gt;

Nice try; you gave it your all. Maybe JL will explain it to you.

		<description>I think an article could well help draw the contrast between pie and cake in the political system. There could of course be other options, such as tortes, croissants, or even the non pastry affiliated. I doubt there would be room for anything unproven or lacking in taste, however.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Pie is the most American of desserts, and disparagement of it ought to be punishable by pie facials. It&#039;s just downright unpatriotic.&lt;/I&gt;


Pie is UN-AMERICAN..  It is flaky and runny... Just like Democrats..

Cake is firm and upstanding!!</description>

&lt;I&gt;}}}Once again, you respond!! That is soooo awesome!!! :D{{{

Yes, I am awesome.&lt;/I&gt;

No, that&#039;s not what I said in this instance..

&lt;I&gt;What part of &quot;for wages&quot; is confusing to you? Actually, you&#039;re asking a non-serious question that is irrelevant to the discussion.&lt;/I&gt;

Many MANY US soldiers are in the service for the money and the job..

I can personally attest to that fact.  You cannot...

But they are not mercenaries..

You seem to want to ignore the facts here..  Something you do very prolifically..


The rest is just nothing but more personal attacks which I will not respond to..

You seem to be insistent on bringing back Flame Wars to Weigantia..

I will not be a party to that... 

NO MORE FLAME WARS!!

Liz and JL can back me up on that point..
 

But, by all means.. Continue to name-check me..  It shows me how much I am a part of you..  :D</description>

&lt;i&gt;Once again, you respond!! That is soooo awesome!!! :D&lt;/i&gt;

Yes, I am awesome.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Paid mercenaries and soldiers commit mass murder for wages and are not necessarily mentally ill... just hired to do a job.

~ Kick &lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Ahhhh.. So US Soldiers don&#039;t get paid?? &lt;/i&gt;

Reading is fundamental. What part of &quot;for wages&quot; is confusing to you? Actually, you&#039;re asking a non-serious question that is irrelevant to the discussion. 

Let&#039;s review: 

&lt;blockquote&gt;
A person who kills multiple people in a mass murder incident is mentally ill..

~ Michale &lt;/blockquote&gt;
*
&lt;blockquote&gt;
Or a paid mercenary, officer/enlisted soldier, religious bigot, scumbag terrorist, or any number of other things not indicative whatsoever of being necessarily mentally ill.

~ Kick &lt;/blockquote&gt;
* 
You claimed that a person who committed mass murder was &quot;by definition mentally ill&quot; and that my statement quoted above was factually inaccurate. I proved you wrong by giving you multiple examples that matched my descriptions. 

We now come to the part of your regular routine wherein you (as usual) hysterically attempt to move the goal posts and/or put words in a commenter&#039;s mouth that they never said. You&#039;re wasting your time. I proved you were wrong and gave examples.

Mercenaries and soldiers of many nations -- including America -- who commit mass murders of civilians are not necessarily mentally ill. You need me to explain war crimes again, Jack Reacher? Heh. You want more examples? Google it.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
A person who kills multiple people in a mass murder incident is mentally ill..

~ Michale &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Incorrect. 

* Xenophobia and religious bigotry aren&#039;t mental illnesses. 
* Racism isn&#039;t a mental illness. 
* Misogyny isn&#039;t a mental illness. 
* Vengeance and revenge aren&#039;t mental illnesses. 

You don&#039;t have to be mentally ill to commit a mass murder involving a hate crime or a war crime. 

&lt;i&gt;WOW... Things must have changed considerably since I wore the uniform of TWO of our branches of service... &lt;/i&gt;

Everything (still) isn&#039;t about you. 

&lt;i&gt;As to the rest.. It&#039;s nothing but personal attacks and outright BS and, as such, it is simply going to be not responded to.. &lt;/i&gt;

As for the rest, I proved you were wrong. 

&lt;i&gt;You still live in the Weigantia of old where flame wars are the order of the day.. &lt;/i&gt;

You&#039;re still referring to posters as Party slaves. You also accused me of having &quot;lapses&quot; and problems with &quot;reading comprehension&quot; on multiple occasions in the post at issue. You also suggested smugly that JL might explain it to me. You also have claimed that &quot;not wearing the uniform&quot; was the cause of my ignorance (fabricating nonsense on your part and incorrect). 

So you can spare all the self-righteous prattling BS because I obviously have no trouble whatsoever comprehending your simple English words; I have that in common with the majority of posters on this forum. 

&lt;i&gt;I refuse to return to that sad and best-to-be-forgotten era.. &lt;/i&gt;

See above.

&lt;i&gt;I am mystified why you insist on trying to start flame wars to this day.. &lt;/i&gt;

You are mystified about a lot of things and wholly incorrect about a boatload of other things. If you&#039;re still referring to commenters as Party slaves and fabricating BS about their &quot;wearing the uniform&quot; and &quot;ignorance&quot; and &quot;lapses&quot; and suggesting that other commenters might explain thigs to them (as if your simple routine needed it), then it shouldn&#039;t be mystifying in the least as to why they would respond to you in the same manner.

You insist on a double standard wherein you are free to denigrate ad infinitum for comment after comment, and then you act like a victim if anyone responds in kind. Boo effin&#039; hoo. :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Big cake certainly has battered our political system, but it need not always be so. Pie can and will make a difference. 90% of Americans like pie, a figure unmatched by any politician in history. &lt;/I&gt;

Statistics show that 90% of all statistics quoted are made up on the spot...

&lt;I&gt;Pie is loved by Joe Biden&lt;/I&gt;

Which is a PRIME example of why PIE should be thrown on the trash heap of history...

Pie is nothing but empty calories..  Cake is great tasting and less filling..  

Matter of fact, cake has NO pie filling, which is another plus..

Pie is the Edsel of desserts...</description>

		<description>I whole-heartedly support the idea of Red Flag laws, as they are mental health laws and not anti gun laws..

But, as I said.. Any law created should allow for a VIGOROUS defense of the person being red flagged...

There *MUST* be hard and firm protections to prevent the abuse of red flag laws by vindictive &quot;woke&quot; persons and agencies...

In other words, if there is even a HINT of an ulterior motive by persons or agencies, then the red flag case should be dismissed..</description>

Pie is loved by Joe Biden and feared by Donald Trump, and those are the stone cold facts. 

It&#039;s high time we all finally give pie the recognition it deserves.</description>

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gun-congrol-red-flag-laws-bipartisan-progress-graham-blumenthal/

I support red flag laws as long as there are strict and punishing punitive measures when those laws are fraudulently used..

If a red flag is imposed in good faith, then that&#039;s fine..

But if there is ANY red flag law that is imposed and it is determined that the complainant or agency acted in bad faith, then there should be HEFTY fines and HEFTY jail time for the bad faith actors..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Rx for teens: military stints 
Reader Pat Torrance offers an idea about what young Americans need. He writes that it should be mandatory “for boys and girls at age 18 to serve 2 years in the military service of their choice. Your new ‘daddy’ (if you didn’t have one growing up) is your new Drill Sergeant. 

“My brothers went in as boys and came out as men! If you love your guns, you will find lots of them in the service. If mental issues arrive, the military is better equipped to handle them.”&lt;/B&gt;

Now THERE is an idea worth exploring!

2 years MANDATORY Military service..

THAT will go an infinitely long way to cure the problem of crowd based mass shootings.. 

Much more so than any tool ban....</description>

		<description>&lt;Blockquote&gt;It is a poor worker who blames his tools, though apparently that wisdom hasn’t reached the Oval Office. That’s where widdle Joey Biden is crying about his predicament and blaming the help. 

He believes his aides are failing him and it’s their fault he’s as popular as poison ivy. NBC News says he’s upset the slugs can’t dream up a winning message for Democrats this fall and are undercutting his image of being a straight-shooter by cleaning up things he says. 

The blame game is pathetic, but the last item is especially a howler, given Biden’s long career as a fabulist. His Friday claim to Naval Academy grads that he was “appointed” to the Academy out of high school is the latest example of how he makes things up that are provably false. 

For the big picture, NBC offers a compelling portrait of the internal disaster it calls a “White House adrift.”&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

Get that people???  Joe Biden was &quot;appointed to the Naval Academy out of high school.&quot;  

A blatantly bullshit lie..

Funny how ya&#039;all seem to be against lies..

Except the lies that DEMOCRATS spew...  :eyeroll:</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Bigger is better? Are you REALLY sure you want to go there? By that rationale the Democratic party is therefore better than the GOP solely due to its size. Retract your big cake comment immediately or accept its rational correlary.&lt;/I&gt;

But *MY* Party (Independent) is bigger and better than Democrats AND Republicans...

Sorry, JL... Cake still wins..  :D</description>

		<description>Kick,

Thank you soo much for your response.. It&#039;s always awesome to see you name-check me.. :D

Let&#039;s me know yer thinking of me.. Awwwww how sweet.. :D

&lt;I&gt;I&#039;m not a Democrat, &lt;/I&gt;

A claim as yet unsupported by any facts..

&lt;I&gt;You also seem to have forgotten that it would require a constitutional amendment that would become valid only when ratified by the legislatures of 38 of 50 states and therefore the idea is basically the equivalent of useless prattling.&lt;/I&gt;

Much like you Democrats and their &quot;useless prattling&quot; about revoking or altering the 2nd Amendment, eh?  :D

So, we are in agreement..  

Altering or revoking the 2nd that you and your Democrats push is nothing but useless prattling..

Always nice ta have common ground with ya.. :D</description>

&lt;i&gt;I posed the question earlier.. Surprise, Surprise, no one answered it... &lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;m not a Democrat, but I thought it is/was a hysterical question considering it would require a constitutional amendment... as if. 

&lt;i&gt;No?? Ahhh.. That&#039;s right.. I forgot.. Democrats REFUSE to compromise on THEIR agenda.. :eyeroll: &lt;/i&gt;

You also seem to have forgotten that it would require a constitutional amendment that would become valid only when ratified by the legislatures of 38 of 50 states and therefore the idea is basically the equivalent of useless prattling.</description>

		<description>The simple fact is, humans who are mentally ill and WANT to commit mass murder will find a way to do so..  

Taking away one tool will simply cause them to move on to a DIFFERENT tool..

Australia&#039;s gun ban proved that beyond ANY doubt..

The ONLY common denominator in these crowd based mass shootings is mental illness..

Until Democrats get off their Privacy kick, the idea that an individual&#039;s personal privacy is more important than an innocent life....  

These crowd based mass shootings will continue to occur...

I can&#039;t make it any plainer than that...</description>

		<description>Liz,

&lt;I&gt;Forget about age ... just ban assault rifles like as already been done in the past.&lt;/I&gt;


As has been explained...  Democrats cannot even DEFINE &quot;assault rifle&quot; that doesn&#039;t include a myriad of other rifles that are legitimately and near exclusively hunting rifles.

It was a different time back then with Biden&#039;s Crime Bill and the Assault Weapon Ban etc etc...  Even given this fact, the ban had a minimal effect.  While crimes and murders with that particular style of weapon, crimes and murders with OTHER weapons increased more than the other crimes and murders declined...

A semi-automatic rifle ban, which is what Democrats are pushing now, simply WILL NOT HAPPEN with a 6-3 AMERICAN SCOTUS...

It&#039;s another wet dream of Democrats that WILL NOT come to pass...

It&#039;s time to move on...</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;FBI releases new details on police use of force as public grapples with distrust

The agency also recently released additional details on the 73 officers were feloniously killed in the line of duty in 2021 — nearly half of whom did not engage with their assailants before being attacked.&lt;/b&gt;
https://www.foxnews.com/us/fbi-police-use-of-force-public-distrust

In other words, cops were ambushed and EXECUTED!

Who could have POSSIBLY foreseen that Democrats&#039; &lt;B&gt;DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE&lt;/B&gt; policies would lead to a RECORD number of cops being killed??

Who could have POSSIBLY predicted this!!??

Oh... Wait...  :eyeroll:

The blood of THOUSANDS OF COPS are on Democrats&#039; hands..</description>

&lt;i&gt;You pie &quot;idea&quot; has not caught traction with the public because it is not an idea like One Demand is. (This comments section does not count as the public) &lt;/i&gt;

If &quot;this comments section does not count as the public,&quot; then you really have no need to keep trolling the author to present your idea or continue the constant prattling on and on of yours about your own personal shit to the NOT public. 

&lt;i&gt;Your pie comments are just you being an asshole to agitate which makes you a worthless fucking asshole of a troll. &lt;/i&gt;

Say there, you&#039;re making a really good argument as to why so many of us here in Weigantia (including CW) have referred to you as a troll. 

&lt;i&gt;Fuck off. &lt;/i&gt;

Your demonstration is eagerly anticipated. 

&lt;i&gt;You know what the reaction to your comments will be and you keep doing it to try and make a mockery of this comments section. &lt;/i&gt;

You could really do yourself a favor and ponder upon why that statement I&#039;ve quoted directly above resembles yourself so perfectly... but not before you perform that demonstration for us all. 

&lt;i&gt;Get lost you piece of shit. &lt;/i&gt;

May we assume that will be included as part of your upcoming demonstration? 

&lt;i&gt;What the fuck is wrong with the rest of you that you allow this bullshit from this asshole to go on without speaking up about it? &lt;/i&gt;

I won&#039;t presume to speak for anybody except Russ -- since he did give me permission, and I love him dearly -- but there is nothing wrong with us that a nice slice of chocolate pie wouldn&#039;t cure. As far as your insinuation that we &quot;allow this bullshit from this asshole to go on without speaking up about it,&quot; we are not constrained to point out the FACT that we&#039;ve complained about you on many and multiple occasions. 

Now that we&#039;ve honestly answered your question, you needn&#039;t put off that demonstration we&#039;re been eagerly awaiting for years. Chop chop, skippy. :)</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;If you&#039;re not ok with 18-20 year olds being second class adults, how can you possibly accept the status of pie as a lesser dessert? For shame!&lt;/I&gt;

Because pie *IS* a lesser dessert...  :D

Everyone knows that CAKE is better...  

Simply in volume alone, cake is bigger.. Therefore better..</description>

<p>Simply in volume alone, cake is bigger.. Therefore better..</p>

&lt;i&gt;Nypoet-
Fuck off, asshole. &lt;/i&gt;

That is some good advice (for you), Don; why don&#039;t you perform a demonstration of that for everybody?

&lt;i&gt;Your pie comments show no class at all.&lt;/i&gt;

*Buzzer* Incorrect. The pie comments show a restraint that is the epitome of class. Too bad you can&#039;t see it and emulate it because you&#039;re too busy prattling on and on about your own personal pity party. 

&lt;i&gt;You are a scumbag and a coward that just posts bullshit trolling to agitate and add nothing of value to this comments section. &lt;/i&gt;

*Buzzer* Incorrect. You are clearly agitated by his comments about (wonderful) pie, and that obviously provides valuable insights for the entire group. 

&lt;i&gt;If there was any justice in the world you would be one of the victims of the next mass shooter so at least that time there wouldn&#039;t be all innocent victims. &lt;/i&gt;

*Buzzer* You are advocating violence in the comments section... a ginormous violation of board rules. Kindly perform the demonstration now. :)</description>

		<description>&lt;Blockquote&gt;Now, on a personal level, the moral value of your position isn’t predicated on its popularity. The problem is that the entire national conversation has been skewed in a way that rarely reflects reality. Maybe the left can fool the public from time to time, but these days it seems like they fool themselves into a false sense of political security.

If you only got your news from major outlets you wouldn’t even know anyone but murderers owned firearms. At some point, after the emotionalism and opaque do-somethingism, voters are confronted with the specifics of Democrat policy goals. And those specifics are always far less popular than the fantastical version offered by their allies.  &lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Let&#039;s brass some tacks here.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Metatron, SUPERNATURAL

The vast majority of Americans DO NOT support Democrat policies on guns..

The vast majority of Americans DO NOT support Democrat policies on voting..

The vast majority of Americans DO NOT support Democrat policies on baby killing..

In short...

The vast majority of Americans DO NOT support Democrat policies..  PERIOD... FULL STOP... END TRANS....

And this FACT will be made PERFECTLY CLEAR to Democrats in 160 days...

I hope ya&#039;all will stick around so we can celebrate that momentous day together..  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;Blockquote&gt;Monday, the president came out in support of banning most semi-automatic handguns in the country. Why aren’t pollsters clamoring to query voters to see if they agree with Joe Biden’s position? Because it wouldn’t be unhelpful. Longitudinal studies show that support for gun control has diminished. Support for a handgun ban is probably quite small. Things can change. Right now, however, it is unlikely that David Hogg’s views are more popular than the NRA’s.&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

		<description>Now let&#039;s turn back to guns..

&lt;Blockquote&gt;Democrats have pulled this trick with socialized medicine, welfare expansion, and climate change efforts. And it’s no different on guns.

Pollsters gauge largely useless policy efforts like “universal background checks” because Democrats have made them the centerpiece of their agenda. How many people polled appreciate that a mere sliver of gun crimes are committed by those who evaded a background check (usually by breaking the law)? One suspects that most non-gun owners don’t understand that virtually every firearm sold in the United States today has featured a background check on its owner. Why would they? Gun control advocates have been telling Americans that getting your hand on a firearm is easier than buying books or groceries or voting.&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

Once again.. FACTS vs Democrat bullshit..

99.9% of all sales of firearms are background checked AND registered...

And there has NEVER... let me repeat that for those who still drink the Democrat koolaid.... **NEVER** been an instance where that .1% was used in a Crowd Based Mass Shooting...

&lt;B&gt;*** NEVER ***&lt;/B&gt;

Ya&#039;all go all hysterical about GOP putting up laws against something that is never done..

And yet, that is *EXACTLY* what ya&#039;all are doing here... Trying to make a law to prevent something that ***NEVER*** happens...

&lt;B&gt;Hypocrisy.. It&#039;s not a bug in Democrat programming.  It&#039;s a feature.&lt;/B&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;Blockquote&gt;Big majorities of Americans also support “voting rights.” But do they support Democrats’ efforts to nationalize elections and ban photo ID requirements in all states? Do they support the federal government compelling states to count ballots 10 days after Election Day? Do they believe that Washington should force states to enfranchise felons? These are real-life components of the Democrats’ efforts to take over elections. Do they support illegal immigrants voting? Because that’s another position, unlike, say, “Jim Crow 2.0,” that is growing in popularity.&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s funny how you people went all hysterical about Georgia&#039;s Voter Integrity laws.. Ya&#039;all said it was &#039;Jim Crow 2.0&#039; and there would be a dearth of voters and voting..  There was even an entire Weigantian commentary that stated how bad things were going to be for Georgia...

And yet, when the vote finally happened, there was RECORD VOTER TURNOUT...

Now reality has proven how completely and utterly wrong Democrats were and NOW ya&#039;all are silent about it..

Why is that??  What&#039;s so hard about admitting that ya&#039;all were wrong?? 

Once again, we see a perfect example of Democrat hysteria and emotionalism on the one side....

And the FACTS and the REALITY on the other side that PROVES Democrats are full of kaa kaa...</description>

		<description>&lt;Blockquote&gt;A strong majority of Americans also oppose overturning Roe v. Wade. (And I’m sure they have exceptional legal arguments for the position.) Why not ask those voters if they believe states should be empowered to decide their own abortion policies? We know why. The polling would look completely different. A Morning Consult poll found that 41 percent of voters claim it is “very important” for them to vote for a candidate in the 2022 midterms who supports “abortion access.” Do they also believe unfettered access in the third trimester should be legal? That’s the Democrats’ operational policy position right now. Might be worth asking voters about bills that exist, as they exist.&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

Once again, the FACTS win out..

Democrat policy on baby killing is completely unrestricted..  Democrats want to allow the mother to kill her baby up to and including the moment of birth..

I am willing to wager if THAT were polled, if the REALITY of what Democrats actually WANT was polled..

Near 100% of Americans would oppose that Democrat Baby Killing policy...</description>

		<description>&lt;Blockquote&gt;American voters, for instance, overwhelmingly back “loan forgiveness.” But do these voters believe that taxpayers — many of whom have either never attended college or paid their students loans or worked their way through college or graduated from less prestigious institutions to save money — should be on the hook for another $1.7 trillion? Because no one is “forgiving” any loans. The government is bailing out (mostly) middle- and upper-class kids who will have the means to pay their debt. If not, they’re being fleeced or borrowing money for the wrong kinds of degrees. Of course, if the underlying idea was popular as leftists claim, the president wouldn’t need to unconstitutionally enforce the policy by fiat.&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

Yep, yep, yep..

Once patriotic Americans find out the FACTS about Democrat policies, Americans completely and utterly are against Democrat policies..

Americans found that out the hard way with the Democrat &lt;B&gt;DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE&lt;/B&gt; policies..

Democrat polices simply DO NOT work for America and are Anti-America in the extreme..</description>

		<description>&lt;Blockquote&gt;&lt;B&gt;Democrats Are Fooling Themselves On Guns
… among many other issues.&lt;/B&gt;

Did you know that 76 percent of voters support the Democrat’s “Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022?” What kind of depraved fascist wouldn’t want to prevent domestic terrorism or the prosecution of domestic terrorists, right? Now, how many of those voters would support the bill if they knew the FBI had recently investigated law-abiding parents as “domestic terrorists” for protesting against identitarian curriculums and lockdowns in their schools? I suspect the numbers might look quite different.

Time and time again we see the same process play out. First, legacy media adopts the Democratic Party’s favored euphemisms or language to mislead the public — think, “Don’t Say Gay.” Pollsters then wrap their questions in ambiguous, disingenuous, or misleading terms to get the answers they seek from voters. Once pollsters reinforce their priors, the media reports on the results. After their rhetoric has been laundered, Democrats claim their agenda is widely popular and thus, democracy is being undermined by those who won’t support these preferred policies.
https://thefederalist.com/2022/05/31/democrats-are-fooling-themselves-on-guns/
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Let&#039;s make one thing perfectly clear..

When Democrats claim &lt;B&gt;&quot;The majority of Americans support our policies&quot;&lt;/B&gt; they are 1000% full of kaa kaa... 

Because Democrats, with media assistance, blatantly LIE to the American people...

&quot;Don&#039;t Say Gay&quot; is a PERFECT example of this..</description>

<p>Time and time again we see the same process play out. First, legacy media adopts the Democratic Party’s favored euphemisms or language to mislead the public — think, “Don’t Say Gay.” Pollsters then wrap their questions in ambiguous, disingenuous, or misleading terms to get the answers they seek from voters. Once pollsters reinforce their priors, the media reports on the results. After their rhetoric has been laundered, Democrats claim their agenda is widely popular and thus, democracy is being undermined by those who won’t support these preferred policies.<br />

</p></blockquote>
<p>Let's make one thing perfectly clear..</p>
<p>When Democrats claim <b>"The majority of Americans support our policies"</b> they are 1000% full of kaa kaa... </p>
<p>Because Democrats, with media assistance, blatantly LIE to the American people...</p>
<p>"Don't Say Gay" is a PERFECT example of this..</p>

&lt;i&gt;NO ONE who knows anything about firearms would think that a 9mm is a &quot;high caliber&quot; weapon.. &lt;/i&gt;

Correct. It&#039;s equally correct that NO ONE who knows anything about firearms would make the asinine claim of an existence of (and I quote) &quot;an automatic rifle at the time of the US Constitution&quot; and supply a link to a 1718 patent of a manually-operated flintlock revolver as proof, but you actually did that in a &lt;b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chrisweigant.com/2022/05/27/friday-talking-points-this-is-shameful/#comment-193011&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;response to Russ.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/b&gt;

Love you, Russ! :)

&lt;i&gt;As I pointed out, .45 is considered a high caliber weapon.. &lt;/i&gt;

I wouldn&#039;t think I would have to explain this to the self-proclaimed Jack Reacher combat Army super cop, but that is *buzzer* incorrect. But don&#039;t take my word for it, Jack, take the word of the United States Army that you keep claiming repeatedly you&#039;re the &quot;been there and done that&quot; expert:

&lt;b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://asc.army.mil/web/portfolio-item/small-caliber-ammunition/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Small caliber ammunition is .50 caliber and below. &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;40mm is considered a decent caliber weapon.. &lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s hysterical. So you think a 40mm caliber weapon is considered &quot;decent,&quot; Jack? NO ONE who knows anything about firearms would think that a 40mm caliber weapon is simply &quot;decent&quot; since a 40mm caliber weapon would be a grenade launcher or an anti-aircraft autocannon like a Bofors gun circa World War II. Google it. 

I think you might have meant to say that a .40mm caliber weapon is considered decent. I don&#039;t agree that it&#039;s decent, but then again, what I consider a gun actually requires a 120mm round that weighs about 40 pounds. 

&lt;i&gt;9mm??? That&#039;s the women&#039;s caliber of choice.. Less recoil.. Less kick.. (MUCH less Kick :D) &lt;/i&gt;

Keep name checking me in your comments; that way everyone in Weigantia will know for sure who it is that lives rent free in your tiny little head, and you&#039;ll also never need wonder why I took the time to respond to your latest hysterical display of obvious ignorance. 

&lt;i&gt;Ol Senile/Dementia riddled Biden spews inane fact-less comments once again... &lt;/i&gt;

A person of your advanced age would not generally be likely to refer to anyone as &quot;Ol Senile/Dementia riddled&quot; if they also had a tendency to contradict themselves all the time and spew hysterically ridiculous factless comments himself. Just saying. :D</description>

		<description>&lt;Blockquote&gt;He’s still seen favorably by black voters overwhelmingly (75/17) and barely by Hispanic voters (48/45), but that’s it. Majorities in every age demo see Biden unfavorably on a personal basis. So do college and non-college voters except for post-grads, who still rank him slightly unfavorably too (46/48). A plurality of women (44/49) see Biden unfavorably, a death knell for Democrats in the midterms and in 2024 if Biden runs again. And again, only five states give Biden a favorable ranking, one of which — New York — is only 47/46 on Biden personally.&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

Why are ya&#039;all so quiet on Biden&#039;s abysmal poll numbers??

Ya&#039;all were quite animated when President Trump had those numbers...

Now yer silent when YER guy has those numbers.. 

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Gee!! I wonder why that is!!?&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;Blockquote&gt;&lt;B&gt;Biden Is Furious That He&#039;s Below Trump in Polls but It Just Got Even Worse&lt;/B&gt;

As we noted earlier, Joe Biden is in a quandary as to how to change his sliding numbers. He’s frustrated even that his numbers are worse than those of President Donald Trump. As NBC noted, “He’s now lower than Trump, and he’s really twisted about it,” another person close to the White House said. He also thinks Democrats aren’t defending him enough.


Biden is supposedly upset that his people are undercutting him, but his people respond, “We don’t say anything that the president doesn’t want us to say.” In other words, what Biden is saying now — or what NBC is spreading out there to try to make him look better — just doesn’t add up.

That’s the problem when it comes to Biden; that’s why the polls are continuing to crash: because no one believes that Joe Biden knows what he is doing and they believe all the issues that we are having to deal with can be laid right in the lap of his confusion.

It isn’t getting any better for him.

		<description>But getting back to the morons up in Canada... 

As an aside to Liz, the morons are ya&#039;all&#039;s leadership.. Not everyday Canadians..

Anyways, someone explain to me exactly HOW de-criminalizing something would address abuse issues??

I mean, thinking logically and rationally about it, if you decriminalize something, it makes it would EXCACERBATE abuse of said something...

That&#039;s a REAL smart idea, Adolph Trudeau...

Decriminalize the drugs so that they can kill MORE people..   :eyeroll:</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;biologically, the human brain is not fully developed until age 25. even back in 1789 when life expectancy was much lower and people didn&#039;t know how the brain worked or developed, they didn&#039;t let anyone join congress who was younger than 25. coincidence?

the age at which different people are developmentally ready for different things is pretty variable. sometimes the law needs to be one size fits all, but that doesn&#039;t mean all 18 year olds are necessarily ready for the responsibility of carrying a firearm around civilians.

basic fairness is not always compatible with human development.&lt;/I&gt;

I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with raising the age of adulthood to 25...

As long as it&#039;s applied fairly across the board..

Drinking, Smoking, Driving, Gun Ownership, VOTING, etc etc etc..

NO PROBLEM with that whatsoever..

Of course, if I was UNDER 25, I would likely feel different..  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;i disagree. the president is ultimately the last word, no matter what his staff says.&lt;/I&gt;

Except Joe Biden&#039;s &quot;last word&quot; is invariably followed by a walk back from his staff...

This has happened WAY TOO MANY TIMES to be anything BUT proof that Joe Biden is not in charge..

Hell, it&#039;s been, whaa?? 3 or 4 times in the last couple weeks alone???

Com&#039;on JL..  How do you explain ALL of the multitude of walk-backs???


&lt;I&gt;if he becomes displeased enough with their performance, he can fire them.&lt;/I&gt;

Unless he is not really in charge...

You can&#039;t fire anyone if you are just a Handle-ee...

&lt;I&gt;also, you&#039;re instituting a major double standard here. just a few short years ago, there was a president whose staff routinely ignored his illegal orders. who was that guy again?&lt;/I&gt;

Even if it occurred (which it didn&#039;t) that&#039;s a lot different than PUBLICLY walking back the Biden&#039;s words oft time within MINUTES of him uttering the words.. On a WEEKLY basis..

And, com&#039;on!!  You can make MANY slams against President Trump.. A few are actually legitimate slams.

But that he was HANDLED??? 

There are simply NO FACTS to support the outlandish claim that President Trump was handled..

As a matter of fact, MUCH of ya&#039;all&#039;s claims about President Trump during his awesome administration was that he was &quot;out of control&quot;...

DEFINITELY not handled in ANY sense of the term...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Economic Pessimism Growing in U.S.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Gallup&#039;s Economic Confidence Index measured -45 in May, down from -39 in each of the previous two months. It is the lowest reading in Gallup&#039;s trend during the coronavirus pandemic, and likely the lowest confidence has been since the tail end of the Great Recession in early 2009.&lt;/B&gt;
https://news.gallup.com/poll/393176/economic-pessimism-growing.aspx

Democrats are pushing this country into another recession...

JUST IN TIME for the mid-terms..  

It&#039;s like Democrats are TRYING to lose hugely!!!   :D</description>

It is the lowest reading in Gallup's trend during the coronavirus pandemic, and likely the lowest confidence has been since the tail end of the Great Recession in early 2009.</b><br />

		<description>i disagree. the president is ultimately the last word, no matter what his staff says. if he becomes displeased enough with their performance, he can fire them.

also, you&#039;re instituting a major double standard here. just a few short years ago, there was a president whose staff routinely ignored his illegal orders. who was that guy again?

wasn&#039;t obama...

wasn&#039;t bush...

wasn&#039;t clinton...

hmmmmmmm.....</description>

		<description>On Monday, I reported that Biden (or Biden&#039;s Handlers) refused to send advanced weapons systems to Ukraine..

Biden (or Biden&#039;s Handlers) were afraid that they could be used to attack targets in Russia...  Which would be seen as an escalation...

Flash forward to today.  Biden (or Biden&#039;s Handlers) have done a 180 and decided that escalation ain&#039;t such a bad thing and is now sending the advanced weapons systems to Ukraine after all..

Given all the other facts of Biden&#039;s senility/dementia, it&#039;s logical to presume that the FIRST decision was Biden&#039;s decision and the follow-up 180 OPPOSITE decision was Biden&#039;s Handlers..

Which is simply MORE PROOF that Biden simply ain&#039;t in charge anymore..

As if anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together would NEED any more proof, eh?   :D</description>
