The reality is that *all* government expenses are paid by printing money.
The spending is completely independent from the taxes.
Taxes only exist for 2 purposes:
To modify the behavior of the public by artificially increasing costs.
And to control inflation by removing money from the...
The dems laid out the mechanism to extend a statue it limitations and elevate a misdemeanor to a felony.
"The statute for the original crime has run out, but you guys conspired to hide it, and we're charging you with destruction of evidence and obstruction of justice anyway.
Drones are fragile.
I would think heavier bird shot would be more appropriate than buck.
You don't need a lot of penetration (at least with current designs). What you do want is lots of chances to hit something important.
As much as I'd love that, I think a thousand bureaucrats who were "just following orders" would be far better in the long run.
Shit weasels in charge can do nothing if the drones below them recognize illegal orders and refuse to participate.
The deep state will find another Obama (or puppet...
Just wind them up and watch them go.
In the past presidents used to start wars to distract the media.
Trump just needs to rename a body of water and that's all they'll talk about for weeks.
2 parties is basically baked in to the structure of our government.
The only way to end up with a single party system would be for the party to essentially replace the government the way it does in communist regimes.
If one of our parties dies, a new one will form to replace it within one or...
Concentrating on the top is a mistake.
The deep state thrives because the middle managers think they're safe. If you just prosecute the guys at the top they will just be replaced and the same middle guys will serve the new overlords just as well.
But, if you start throwing the middle...
You're not wrong.
You can only really trust any politician to do what's in their own interest.
That's true for most people.
But the Republicans interests are far more closely aligned with mine than the Democrats are.
I think the state of the world is such that it *needs* a scorched earth type event to unfuck things.
The real question would be if he exposes all this, and it really is a majority of world leaders, what happens if they just say "fuck it, we're not letting go anyway" and just drop the pretense...
Honestly, if he wants to regain the news cycle, he needs to perp walks someone.
Anyone, for *something* deep state related.
There must be some FBI flunky that was covering up something related to this that you can find.
Now, I am not talking about an unjust prosecution. I am saying if you...
Not F14s then, and not F22s now.
Iran was *the only* country besides the US to fly F14s.
Today the F22 is *illegal* to sell to any other country.
Even our closest allies aren't allowed to buy them.
We lease nuclear armed Trident missiles to the UK, but if they wanted F22s the answer would be...
I have no idea if he's really an asshole, or if that's just how the media portrays him.
Lots of evidence that he's a decent guy too. But of course that's not a story they want to tell.
When it comes to the deep state, like most things, demolition is much easier than construction.
Wish he kept close with Musk. The real solution is to tear down what took decades to build.
The Shah was so in our pocket that we were in the middle of selling him our most advanced fighter jets right when he was deposed (F14s).
And the Ayatollah was so *not* our friend that the technicians who were delivering the F14s sabotage them on their way back out of the country. Right on top...
I thought the CIA installed the Shah ?
And they certainly didn't install the Ayatollah. We (CIA included) *liked* the Shah.
We hated the Ayatollah so much that we funded Saddam Heussein to fight him all through the 80s.

Is child abuse, and is typically prosecuted, unless they go the trans route.
Yes, but they absolutely do not want that to come to trial and have to defend it.
The same reason SAFE act charges all got plead down or never filed.
They're afraid they would lose and the whole law would be gone. If that never happens they can keep threatening people with it.
And the voting age was dropped from 21 to 18 in 71.
In 1970 a 19 year old could drink but not vote.
Just a couple years later it was the other way around.
Wait till they find out how many pill bottles I have full of small screws and nuts....
Here's what you really want for a trip to the range....
OK, now I want to find a shooting range that offers caddy service.

The only actual federal charge for an unregistered NFA item is "tax evasion", since the entire thing is based on the power to tax.
What happens when the first guy charged with an unregistered something claims he can't be charged for not paying a $0 tax ?
$0 is a huge difference from even...
Age is a terrible proxy for maturity. It's not much better than shoe size.
We absolutely need a better way to decide who has reached adulthood than "managed to not die for x years".
So it's fine to require all that for voting too ?
No, "shall not be infringed" means *exactly* what it sounds like.
If someone can't be trusted with the same sorts of weapons the military has, then you lock them up. Anything less is theater.
It's understandable when the count climbs. You can find new victims, and previously injured victims can die.
But how to people get un-shot ?
And is the health care in Kootenai county so good that they're bringing people back from the dead ?
Wonder how hard it would be to fit a JDAM kit to a whole pig.
Would be a bit poetic if this dude was taken out by a slab of bacon that hits him out of the sky.
