It's one of those scary things really. Christ, look at the reasons used to lobotomize people. Famous and your daughter too wild? Dig around in her brain a bit until she is calmed down. Do you really want someone like Dr. Ben Carson declaring you mentally insane because you don't believe in God or some other insane poo poo? In a vacuum I'm for taking away guns from people that don't deserve them but the idea of Republican's deciding which rights you should or shouldn't have based upon their accessment of your mental health is scary as gently caress.

Similar subject is driving. Should old people who are going senile get their licences taken away? Yeah. But the logistics of living in the US without the ability to drive yourself to get groceries or other basic needs is loving insane if you don't have a support network which a lot of people don't. Your only son died in Vietnam, your wife died five years ago, and now you can't drive yourself anywhere. Congrats on literally never leaving your house until you die and the police check in on the smell a few months later. So it kinda comes down to "do we roll the dice on some old people killing people with a car or do we take away their only agency to be somewhat self sufficient".

Trump met with Tea Party people today to discuss healthcare. It's nothing too surprising, but I'm amused by the stadium rallies part.

I'm not really cool with someone losing any enumerated right on the say-so of a VA doctor or their decision to appoint a fiduciary. The burden of proof should be on the people saying someone is crazy. Personally, I think if someone is determined to be too incompetent to be trusted with guns, they should lose their franchise as well.

Okay, so what's your proposed solution? Mental health courts? That sounds like an even easier way for the South to disenfranchise everyone they don't like.

I understand the legal argument you're making, but at the same time it seeks to establish the false equivalency that a mentally unstable person voting and a mentally unstable person owning firearms carry the same risks to society. To that end, the only way to reconcile that would be to repeal the 2nd Amendment, which solves the problem entirely.

This thread is absolutely amazing and is worth your time.

Democrats are stalling, trying to wait until the CBO score comes out to show how many people will lose insurance (and the costs), by introducing a shitload of amendments.

One alone took 12 hours to actually get voted on (though they're going faster now).

Yeah if anyone's likely to face jail time for the DNC hacks, it's Stone. You know, until he has his sentence commuted by Trump Scooter Libby style.

e: BTW as everyone in here pines for W, I just want to remind y'all that he commuted the sentence of his friend that intentionally outed a CIA officer as an act of political revenge on her husband.
e2: And apparently he was readmitted to the loving DC Bar in November of last year? What the poo poo?

At this point it's pathological for them isn't it? "Don't do what dems did by rushing" just completely ignoring documented, witnessed, factual reality of the year and more they spent cock blocking the original ACA. I would have no problems believing he then went on to say ten seconds later how terrible Dems are for making the process take so long unlike us upright, morally superior Repubs. It's like a game to them. How many lies can they fit into the fewest number of words?

That's a fine British physique.

That guy in front is some bod from LBC which is a right leaning radio talk show that Fromage has a spot on. It's not quite the Radio equivalent of the Daily Mail but it's not far off. They Fromage's discussions do field arguments from most points of view but he likes to shout down more liberal opinions because the person voicing them is usually lacking the same intellect and a volume button.

We still can't get Alex Jones on our radio's though. Just fake news.
