Remember, the judge has to work with the legal definition. He absolutely violated the 68 security act, but spying, coersion, and being an agent for a foreign power aren't legally treason if we aren't at war with them.

Until someone proves Turkish involvement in terror. Then forever war rules are in effect.

Yeah, the NRA's obligations lie towards their base, not gun rights.

They were all for banning ARs until they exploded in popularity and even their base started owning them.

the question the manufacturers will have for the NRA is whether offering up stocks as a sacrificial lamb will head off a stronger push and if they think it will they will be fine with it

It's also completely bullshit regardless of the NRA's action because it's the DoJ redefining what a "machine gun" is by fiat and with no legislative action. It *should* be thrown out on those grounds, but we'll see (it won't be).


I highly fuckin' doubt it gets even a double-digit percentage compliance rate.

i mean we should probably take a long, hard look at executive overreach all in itself but that'd require Congress to be willing to do its job again and lol

It may be thrown out, but law interpretation is often murky and politically motivated so this is not so unique a case.

Sorry but bump stocks for semi-auto rifles and "Wrist braces" for AR pistols are literally just horseshit and both should be banned imo.

E: not going to take up another post with it but the only loving reason they legally are allowed at this point is gun lobby dollars from manufacturers, if politicians had the actual interests of the general public in mind they would have been banned a long time ago. See also they would have heavily restricted the sale and transfer of firearms and made it nigh impossible for them to be obtained by people who should not have them to amass loving piles of them, mainly through gun buybacks to get a portion of them off the streets. There should not be a firearm for each loving person in the US (there are somewhere between 89 and 100 firearms per 100 persons in the US), especially when they're most certainly not owned by the majority of the public.

I don't either. I could see Jared and Junior going to prison, I suspect Trump will never see bars, but I also suspect he's going to lose all his businesses and come out of the presidency severely curtailed.

If he lives through the presidency, he's turbofucked afterwards, there was enough in the evidence that came from Cohen's trial. Never mind anything that comes out in the next year. Being as the universe hates us all I'd be almost willing to put a bet on him heart attacking out of life before anyone can do it though.

Dude is pretty old and can't be in great health. Burning as many bridges as possible and being left surrounded by the worst of the grifters and a token Secret Service detail in a gradually flooding Florida villa is fine with me.

Bear in mind, he may be an old "rich" white guy, but he isn't the establishment. They take care of their own and they loving hate him, they're exceedingly likely to gently caress him over. After all, nobody thinks he's one of them.

Watching the Trump stuff work through the legal system feels a bit like MH17 where from the very start it was super loving obvious that a Russian SAM shot down a civilian airliner, but to go through all the proper steps and release an official statement saying as much took years.

I guess I'm holding out hope that all the slowly grinding wheels will lead somewhere eventually.

Noone ever asked him the question "What if you win?"

It's been said before but he and his staff were counting on losing to Hillary and then reaping the reward of nice book deals and speaking circuit time. He was hilariously unready and not planning for winning the election but to back down would be counter to his entire self image because WINNING.

I think one of the papers (WaPo?) said that he looked morose when he walked into the oval office and just stared out the window like he knew he'd hosed up and it was dawning on him how hosed he was.

The only problem is he is doing his level best to drag the country to hell with him.
