Ah, yes, the call for "common sense" gun laws. That phrase would carry more weight were most of the National stage politicians that liberals / progressives support not nut cases themselves. And the "other side completely refuses to discuss the issue.".

Katrina was earlier than that.

This in large part. There are enough on the "stronger gun control" movement side that have admitted that their goal is a total gun ban in the past that there is extremely little trust of them from the other side. Perhaps, if that side proposed actual legislation that ONLY included items such as better gun safety education and we saw how that actually got enforced and whether that was effective, then we might have a basis for deciding how / whether to bring additional modifications to existing gun laws. It also might help build trust across the sides if new legislation proposals weren't reflexively in reaction to a hyped shooting &/or if there was an acknowledgement that there are a lot of gun laws already on the books. IMHO, the biggest impediments to solving the problem of mass shootings is a lack of trust from both sides and an insistence of looking for major sweeping changes to one aspect of a multifaceted problem primarily when emotions are raw eroding even more trust.

Hadn't been to any of the other practices, but had read all the reports that Allen was looking good this camp, and was really looking forward to seeing how he'd improved. He looked good in the 1v1 drills, but was very underwhelming in the 11v11 portion. And was glad to read that people who were at all 5 or 6 other practices said he looked much worse today than he had previously. Because today was not good. So am more hopeful for the season now than when walking out of Polisini Stadium. At least 90% of the 11v11 drills were from inside the 10, so almost any completion was going to be a TD. (And pretty sure 3 of those 5 TDs were little 2 yard crossing routes that the receiver ( at least twice Beasley) took the 6 yards himself. But Oliver was dominant. And Poyer had a serious hit on a "welcome to the NFL kid" shot on Singletary. 'Pads, we don't need no stinking pads.' Ray Ray was pretty noticeable too. And Singletary will be a good one.

Russia doesn't have access to an open warm water port. Thus not questioning your contention about Russia. But, China ...

China's landlocked? Since when?

Well, in fairness, if the people pushing their children towards transgenderism are perfectly successful, at least THEIR own children won't be breeding. Which, in the grand scheme, is probably for the best.

OK. The Magellanic Clouds and the Andromeda Galaxy sure. But how will fossil fuel consumption on Earth effect anything further out? That seems a wee tad preposterous. ?

He clearly told you to have STUPID arguments about QBs, not to recreate the most monumental argument since "tastes great" / "less filling." ?

Should he actually leave, quite certain that his replacement will be identified as being the closest thing to an actual Hitler since Ratcliffe, who was the closest thing to Hitler since Barr, who was the closest thing to Hitler since ...

Not being able to access more than simply the 1st page of that paper, so this is likely answered, but WTF are these Dr's smoking? (This certainly won't be the right answer because how can somebody's perceptions be incorrect ) but how about rather than wanting to permanently incapacitate these people they discuss in the paper, they actually treat their mental illnesses successfully enough that the patients don't want to be crippled?

But the smugness is worth every cent to many.

Must be "fake news." Everybody KNOWS that 45 & his administration luvs them some white supremacists. Couldn't possibly be true.

Considering that even ABC and CNN were saying the hearings did not go well for the Impeach Trump crowd, it would appear that Nadler was correct and the hearings were an inflection point. Pretty sure though, he won't like the new direction of events should he be correct that an inflection point was reached.

About time. Sincerely hope that they don't just go after D's that are dirty, but not expecting much on that front. No way were there only 40 or so dirty R's down in the swamp.

IF they truly believe he committed high crimes and misdemeanors then they have a duty to the country to impeach him. If they truly believe he is in Putin's back pocket, they owe it to us to stop him by legal means. But, they aren't going to do so. So, are they full of Schiff or are they in Putin's back pocket as well?

Yep. Also, if he were colluding with Russia wouldn't it make sense that at least 1 other person that wasn't President, and thus indictable, would have been colluding with him? So, where are those indictments? Yep. At a minimum he should've been able to recommend impeachment hearings had he found evidence of conspiring with the Russian govenment.

Does Australia have an equivalent of SouthWest Airlines? 'Cause that driver would be perfect for the "wanna get away" commercials.

Thought those were usually called AK-47's by his ilk. ?

Little doubt of that. But really didn't expect 44 to have a Super Majority (short lived as it was). So, would prefer to not see what sort of damage they could work with Pelosi & Shummer not what Executive Orders either would come up with.

Really believe that changes above represent the progressive politicians' views. Should they get their Christmas list ever enacted, this country doesn't exist as we know it. Don't expect they ever will get it, but they only don't by us staying vigilant. Do not believe that is how the rank and file think of it. Your original paragraph is spot on towards their views IMHO. And really believe that the rank and file see these as good things as they don't see all the other changes that need to happen to allow all that laundry list come to pass. And that is frustrating. Agree with your 2nd paragraph.

You know what kind of a person makes a blanket condemnation of half the country as being racist simply because they hold a different view than themself? Yep. A racist. Here's your tag. Wear it with pride.

To the 1st bolded, at least 2 of "the squad" and likely 3-4 of them reference fairly often a pride in their heritage. They ALL like to decry the direction 45 is trying to take the country. (It's politics; that's what Congress Critters do when the President doesn't have their letter after his name.) He said, quite ineloquently, the countries (territory in AOC's case) that these ladies come from ( how ever many generations ago) have a lot of problems; rather than complaining (& doing nothing but complain) about this country, he told them ( or at least some of them, he never identified which he was referring to, but yet they and everybody else assumed it was all 4) to go fix your country of pride and then once you've helped fix there, then show us how to fix here. Is that boorish and crass. Yup. Like most everything he tweets. But is it racist. Not really, IMHO. Though would have a much harder time arguing it weren't xenophobic. As to not telling Sanders to go back to where he's from, where is it Bernie's roots come from? He's Jewish, but no data on where his ancestors emigrated from, and haven't heard him wax poetic about his homeland. 45 has given him flack for honeymooning in Russia. Pretty sure he's also mocked liberals that have threatened to move to France but didn't move there. Is that him being racist or just his typical in your face annoy those that don't agree with him. As to the 2nd bolded, that seems very plausible.

And AOC also said 'we don't run away from a land we love' which inadvertently says Omar doesn't love Somalia as she sure as heck got out of there. Might that be because it is a ###hole?
