At this point anyone willingly identifying as a liberal is a centrist who says the right progressive things (student debt! Medicare for all! Gay marriage!) but when push comes to shove they'll always fold every time or go on some rant about the poors or browns making the neighborhood less safe and driving down property values

I've never known such a person irl.

I don't even know what the gently caress. If you are on the side with the spree killing racist and the Nazis, how can you not consider that what you are supporting is nuts?

They know where these guys hang out, our every internet step is recorded forever, why aren't these dudes getting rolled up on by the FBI?

gently caress I know where these dudes hang out and I'm not extremely online or anything.

He's 21. If they wanted to save some money, the cops could just push him out the door and he would be torn to shreds.

Or maybe focus enforcement on Domestic, Right Wing groups. We have an intelligebce apparatus that can track down the single individuals who shot down Extortion 17. We can track down and kill two nameless Taliban fighters, but can't track Right Wing Domestic poo poo?

We don't want to.

The idea of banning/gun control seems to be falling out of favor, particularly since the Left has felt the need to increasingly arm and train themselves since 16. I don't see a Ban/Buyback working at all. Besides the hardcore Right and Left wing, you are going to have people who are generally law abiding, but aren't going to give up poo poo for fear it might be needed later.

Besides that, I don't see them ever banning Handguns even though they are used in most crimes. They couldn't get them banned in 36 with the NFA, now that carry is common and legal in most places, I don't see that happening.

The republican-controlled House and Senate saw it as partisan and cancelled the funding.

We have a very good reason - we do not want the entire intel community spying on Americans. Don't you remember the outcry when the NSA was scooping up people's meta data for phone calls? Do you really want the NSA and CIA to be spying on Americans? I sure as gently caress don't. The sorry state of our civil liberties is hosed enough without tearing down that pretty decent sized wall between domestic LEO / intel and foreign focused and mil intel.

This is at odds with the reality of the modern day.

My family came from Germany in the late 40s and we don't talk about it. So when people ask where "I'm from" I get hella prickly.

I'm a seventh generation veteran with a very german last name.

I'm from fuckin America and that's bad enough.

I have every intention to buy a house if we get another amazing recession like we did in the past. Thankfully my job is tough to get rid of even in a recession since hospitals are mandated by joint commission/other agencies to have a house supervisor for a critical access hospital.

The housing market in central Oregon sucks major balls and it's ungodly expensive. Houses that were 300k in 2016 are well over 400k now 3 years later.

The interest rates climbing offsets the low prices of the home. It's only a deal if you can buy cash.

The normal folks get hosed again.

I clearly remember a time when none of my friends had real jobs. I had just gotten out and was in school and was terrified that my GI bill was gonna get chopped and Id be homeless.

I'm ok with not going through/putting people through that again. The rich don't suffer. They never do.

I don't disagree. But guillotine (and associated) talk is silly and folks are getting spun up. I spend a fair amount of time creeping right wing sites and they do the same thing, but it's ridiculous. And horrible.and divorced from reality.

I want to get into cooking lionfish (we kill plenty of them in south FL), but cleaning a fish is something that I just can’t get past.

Do it submerged in cold water once the fish has cooled. No smell, nothing gushy. You can work up from there if you want.

Moving (back) to Texas has been the weirdest fuckin thing. I moved from Washington State, kind of out in the sticks. woods people and Texas boondocks people might as well be the same drat thing. Possibly methy, definitely got some pill issues, obviously alcoholics. To add to that Texas gun laws are more strict than Washington gun laws.

Like I know plenty of people who are pretty darn left and I got enough friends that won't shut up about Bernie Sanders that you would not expect from the drawl and the cowboy boots, and on the other hand I've got my neighbors who are transplants are hardcore Cruz-Trump people you are faking it so fuckin hard they're not confusing a drat person.
