my plan to eliminate gun violence is to destroy the economy, destroy agricultural capacity w climate change, and limit the amount of support we could receive w protectionist garbage laws to prevent food imports + making enough of the world hate us so that aid offers would be limited anyway

after all of that imma introduce a "guns for beans and flour" exchange program and melt all the guns to slay

im donald j trump and im a strategic thinker

beans and flour?

If he does go along, he's going to be the one writing it as a condition of that. Hopefully it doesn't end up as yet another Kennedy "Good Outcome, but complete mess of a ruling" case if it comes to pass.

Holy rolling shitballs. Police responding to an active shooter is not a loving "miracle" (didn't it take them 2 hrs to get to the shooter's room only to find the guy dead already?). I mean, like, kudos for them doing their job and all, but there is nothing miraculous about a mass shooting where 59 people end up dead and 500 injured.

quote:

House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady discussed options at a dinner Monday night with several GOP members who have defended the break. They talked about measures including capping the deduction for top earners, and allowing individuals to choose between deducting mortgage interest or property taxes -- but not both -- when calculating their taxes, according to several dinner attendees.

“So if somebody’s got a $10 million home, they can only deduct on the first million,” said Representative Chris Collins of New York, describing how one of the changes might work. Collins, an ally of President Donald Trump, said he attended the dinner.

Collins said the purpose of the meeting with Brady was to find “a way to get the California, New York and New Jersey Republicans on board for tax reform.”

quote:

Senator Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican who says a tax bill mustn’t add to the deficit, said Monday he’s concerned the White House is showing "softness" on the state and local break, arguing that it’s "the easiest one" politically for Republicans to eliminate. High-tax states tend to lean Democratic, and GOP leaders are not counting on their support for a tax overhaul.

yes, people go crazy with the russian stuff at times.

however, the political capital used to point it out is almost always wasted because holy poo poo they literally wrote lame loving "coded" emails back and forth talking about "black caviar" because we live in a fmv from red alert 3 that was deleted for being "too broad"

Look at what happened with the recall elections in Colorado a few years ago. Most Americans support at least 'common sense' gun regulation but it's far from their top concern. The 10% or whatever that oppose it have their entire identity centered on guns and will do everything in their power politically to ensure gun laws stay the same or are weakened.
