Recap of Day 3 of the Jan 6 Hearings
SoCal Deek replied to ChiGoose's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Thanks! In short, Trump and his legal team were looking at options available to them as a remedy for what they perceived was an injustice that had been done to them leading up to, during, and following the election ….and in the end they chose to do none of them. The end. -
Well since you’re clearly afraid to answer….I will. I believe Nancy miscalculated and got this thing rolling when she thought everything would be humming right along in the country with Uncle Joe at the helm. The plan was to milk this all the way until late 2023 when candidates were starting to position themselves for the next presidential primary season. With the country now a total mess, and viewership for the hearings a predictable flop, they’re simply stuck.

The real question is whether Turkey's tentacles can reach across the ocean to cite those on this Message Board. Everyone knows it's a treasure trove of disinformation! BillsTime alone will be in a Turkish prison for many lifetimes to come. (Kidding Billsy....keep up the good work you're doing.....we need you on that wall!)

Recap of the 2nd Day of January 6th Hearings

Tibs....have you ever been deposed? -
He’s going to have resist the urge to jump offside at least once a game.

I hear an awful lot about oil companies making record profits but a deeper dive into that generalized statement is most definitely required. Oil companies don’t make oil. They refine it into other products, like gasoline. So I’m guessing that their profit margin hasn’t changed all that much. But when the price they pay to buy crude oil goes up, their total profit does as well. The same is true for almost every industry. Again, I don’t know this for a fact, but I’d hesitate to make the blanket statements Biden likes to make. And…if Exxon makes even a 10% profit, how much impact does that really have on your price at the pump? Answer….50 cents…maximum!

Recap of the 2nd Day of January 6th Hearings
SoCal Deek replied to ChiGoose's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Once again….there is only one side presenting evidence here…so let’s not get too carried away with drawing conclusions. I know, I know, it’s not a trial! Tibs was closest when calling it a grand jury hearing, but I’ll caution him and others to remember that a grand jury is not televised and is not intended to taint the eventual national jury pool. So watch the hearings if you’d like, but don’t get drawn into making any statements of guilt. If you’ve ever been deposed in a court proceeding you’ll know why….I have. -
It takes a significant amount of specific desensitization to ‘train’ soldiers to kill even armed enemy combatants let alone innocent unarmed civilians. The same is true for police officers. And all of these trained professionals carry guns. Most people think the training is all about teaching them who NOT to shoot, but in reality the training is just as much about fighting against the god given instinct to NOT kill other people. So…how or why do untrained people let go of that instinct and open fire in an elementary school? Mental illness? Possibly. But it’s more specific than that generalization. Mental hospitals are filled with people who pose no threat to attacking anyone but themselves. The urge to NOT harm other people is very very strong to overcome. But somehow these mass shooters become completely desensitized to committing extreme violence. Want to hazard a guess?

What is better, no guns, or more guns?

Huh? -

Raise the age to 21 And Require a training/gun safety class every three years after purchase. It won’t solve everything but it’s better than doing nothing and really shouldn’t bother anyone who’s a responsible owner. -

Bob…I agree. I see nothing wrong with people having to take a safety test every so many years. If nothing else it puts more emphasis on gun responsibility. And in my opinion it doesn’t negate the 2nd Amendment.
