Uh yes that's exactly what I said.

I mean depending on the context it may be accurate to a degree. The Secret Service can't stop people from legally carrying weapons outside of a perimeter that they've set. But once someone presents as a threat all of the normal police rules of engagement apply: objective reasonableness and the like. It is objectively reasonable for a federal agent to fire on somebody who has assumed a prone position with a rifle with a clear view of a protectee, "jurisdiction" notwithstanding.

It's a fine line because he needs to not alienate boomercons upset with his "tone" and looking for just one more excuse to not vote but also make sure that his VP is solid assassination insurance. Party-approved, GOPe guys like Rubio and Haley virtually guarantee his death inside of six months.

About five minutes after you said this you probably thought again, with no sense of self-awareness, about how America almost fell on January 6, 2021.

And the Vietcong didn’t have access to military shot callers’ names, addresses, wives, children…

God explains what Adam did wrong. There’s some good relationship advice in there for free too. 😂

What does “all authority” mean? And where does the Bible state that humans operate with free will?

You fail to grasp even the basics of this. Condition on the “authority” that the tempter offered was what? To worship the tempter. Jesus refused not because he rules a “greater domain” but because his dominion is greater than that of the tempter’s. Properly understood, Christianity teaches that Jesus rules both heaven and earth as God and Christ.

Also leftists ITT for some reason:

All leftists think that it’s “too perfect” because they have no mental framework for human courage. And Tim Wise’s head on a pike is going to be my thanksgiving centerpiece when our guys win.

Don’t forget Shinzo Abe. Maybe that was more than a year ago though. If anybody takes anything away from today (let it be after watching the videos of the female secret service agents) it should be that women don’t belong within 100 miles of any law enforcement career.

They all have a choice. You’re essentially saying a woman should have no agency until and unless it’s time to kill her baby. Then she is basically god.

Every study on the topic shows that American whites have the lowest in-group bias of any race in America. Wonder if that has a cause. Or if it may have an effect on suicide rates.

Any theories as to why white men may be committing suicide at higher rates, Tibs?

Gotcha. I have no idea what the work culture there is like. HSI guys seem pretty happy. USSS seems like ***** gig since a lot of those guys dip after their three years is up. Especially since that mandatory rotation to DC kicks in after 3-5. Once you're an 1811 seems like you can pretty much take it anywhere in the G so retention is an issue for the bad/boring jobs.

As an aside, since it's adjacent to my world, I've noticed that they're in full-on open recruitment for criminal investigators. Interested to see 1. how many they're actually able to recruit and retain beyond, say, three years and 2. how that ends up effecting their numbers for prosecutions related to financial crimes and narcotics income.

But again, you want to play the per capita games (66% vs 88%!) until it no longer suits you (now, or for crime, or any number of things). You latched onto incomplete data, obviously never actually looking at the source material that you recommended I look at thinking you had a solid snarky retort, because it painted a picture that you thought looked good for *your guys*. The claim is that there is all this uncollected tax from rich folks and the IRS needs shitloads more money to capture it. Either the IRS doesn't believe that, or they don't care. If the rich are illegally withholding tax money from the G at an astounding rate you'd think that they'd audit more than 0.4% of returns reporting income of $10M or more in 2021.

Your assertion was that 66% of audits were levied on 88% of the population, which is demonstrably false by simply thinking for five seconds. But I'll do your homework for you. Number of individual returns examined (audits) 2023: 518,607 Individual returns examined for positive incomes $0 - $200,000: 474,127 For a 91.4% figure. It's even simpler than I thought. Thanks for the link.

I gave my heart so easily I cast aside my pride But when you fell for someone else, baby I broke up all inside And it looks like I'm never gonna fall in love again That's why I'm a-singin' it Fall in love, no, I'm never gonna fall in love Please don't make me Fall in love again

What portion of that 88 percent pays zero income tax and/or is not required to file?

Nice of them to bury this tidbit way down deep:

“The Framers did not write the Second Amendment in order to protect a private right of armed self defense." - Sonia Sotomayor

tl;dr the “natives (lol)” are sore losers whose way of life and “cultural heritage” got exactly what was coming to them. The land was conquered, just like your ancestors conquered it (and did nothing with it) from the prior occupants, and on and on back to when humans first crossed over from Asia. The “average descendants of the colonists” served in several brother wars and spilled their blood on this and foreign soil for the sake of the American people. And yes, every American Indian who claims to be part of a sovereign nation should be denaturalized and deported. Enough is enough. No reservation, no sovereign nation.
