I don't care if they're putting stuff under museum glass to the detriment of their budget, maladaptive obsessive behavior has a term: "maladaptive obsessive behavior." Hmmm....how many operable NES systems, Simons and unopened Boba-Fett action figures do you own? Sorry, just trying to steer us out of gun chat, even though I contributed to it.

Madkal posted:Reminder that Trump Jr said he was also talking about adoptions before he confessed. Yes, exactly. Him making GBS threads on Jeff Sessions and implying Comey was trying to blackmail seem to dominate initial coverage of this but it's amazing that, after the entire last week of 'adoptions' being this bullshit pretext that was thoroughly debunked, Trump went straight back to it again.

Maybe there is some grumpy oligarch in Russia who was making bank off the adoption thing (I could believe it - adoptions are ludicrously expensive) and is annoying Putin about it still being shut down?

'adoptions' is code word for this.

As am I. there's really no reason to be. any revolution would require the military to join it to have success. not to mention tunisia overthrew its dictatorship while having the lowest gun ownership rate in the world. there's no reason to be "pro-gun". it's not what the second amendment was written for and there's really no factual defense for it. the only defense is "i like guns".

They murdered a Russian forensic accoutnant named Magnitsky. He was hired by an investor some Russian oligarchs ripped off. Magnitsky uncovered massive graft fraud and theft, and then Russian government imprisoned him and beat him to death. The act is a series of targeted sanctions against individual Russian oligarchs. Putin retaliated by freezing American parents who sought to adopt Russian orphans, because he and his are genuinely awful trash people. Hence, adoptions.

PneumonicBook posted:To affect change you need to work within the accepted framework. The far lefts 'ban them all forever' is a non starter. There are legitimate effective ways the country could start handling it's gun problem but when both sides are too busy screaming at each other like it's Facebook it will never happen. LOL you think that like 3 people on facebook are a problem when congress can't even pass basic common sense gun control in the wake of a bunch of kids being murdered and a mass shooting happening every single day of the year. The reason that gun control doesn't get passed is because people like you bring up "lefties want to take them all forever!" everytime anyone suggests any sort of legislation no matter how mild. You're the problem, not leftists.

Lost my grandmother to brain cancer years ago after watching her slowly... then quickly... completely lose her loving mind (literally). McCain has been through a lot of poo poo, and he's a generic old white man with old white man thoughts that are going to be further and further removed from reality. I feel bad for him and his family.

The sad thing is that Trump could easily fix healthcare and has already demonstrated that he has ideas that work. During an interview a few months ago, he suggested Medicare Part D negotiating prices of drugs. Drug company stock prices TANKED before Kellyanne got on the TV to say that Trump didn't mean it. He could also do a Medicaid / Medicare buy in for areas that do not have a single insurer. Make the price comparable in cost to a similar area in the state with the same cost of living. <-- This program would never be used btw because insurance companies would take the hit in those areas before ever seceding coverage to Medicaid, unless Medicaid is run by those companies. Fund the risk pools. If he wants to get fancy, raise the income and cap gains tax to an even 40% from 39.6% and drop the device tax as a bone to the device companies. Make the Medicaid expansion 100% federal and have it paid for with the 0.4% increase. Now states have 0 reason to not take the medicaid expansion. This requires 0 effort on his part and would be hugely popular. It would reduce the uninsured down to single digits. The Medicare drug price negotiations would show that he's a Serious Businessman.

Yep, after his "sunset moment" in front of the cameras this was totally expected. One of the most common symptoms of brain tumors is that the person starts talking absolute gibberish all of a sudden. Happened to my grandmother - that's how we found out.
