    No conspiracy.

    100% factual.

    I got it from John Podesta himself.

    I guess you are referring to this text:

    "we are going to background reporters tonight on a few of the specific proposals she would support as President - universal background checks of course, but also closing the gun show loophole by executive order and imposing manufacturer liability."

    How is that 'disarming all Americans'? I mean, I understand you oppose those proposals, but they definitely do not add up to 'disarming all Americans'.

    A careful reader would also note that they were just looking for something to bludgeon Bernie with, rather than discussing their deep convictions on gun control.

    You people thinking the government's coming for your guns are fucking nuts. You said the same shit about Obama but now you can take your guns into political rallies and national parks. You couldn't do that under Bush...

    Personally, I would have liked Judge Hardiman better.

    I am slightly concerned about this. The 2nd Amendment is ultimately the only issue I truly give a shit about when it comes to SC rulings.

    He's described as a "hunter and outdoorsman". Those kinds of people, though not always, have a higher tendency to be "Fudds"; or guys who think that a bolt-action rifle is the only long gun that Americans need. And their arrogance on that issue is appalling, and tends to speak on how they view firearm ownership overall, and guns in general.

    I hate those kinds of people. They claim to be supporters of the 2A....but they're actually not. In fact, I strongly believe that they are actually more dangerous to the 2nd Amendment than Democrats or Liberals; since the Left uses these people as propaganda to say "see, this is a 'gun guy', and he supports restrictions on guns!"

    If Chris Cox of the NRA-ILA supports this nomination, then I too support this. I've read Cox's writings for years, and he's always struck me as very intelligent, with a handle on what's what when it comes to firearms issues and the 2nd Amendment.

    Ron is such a dumbass. Jesus Christ, man....does he even care that he's a hypocrite?

    Not only did he support Gorsuch's nomination, but he also lectures us about individual rights.....and supports gun control at the same time.

    Fucking seriously. I don't think Hollywood could write a better script than that.

    It's amazing. This is their job, and they completely fail on it. It goes to show you that they don't actually give a fuck about what is going on they just tow the party line at the time to stay in power.

    I'm not a politician. This isn't my job. These guys flip flop in and out depending on who is telling them what to do, like Sly's dirty panties.

    If Flip Flopping is the new acceptable thing for politicians, then I can't see why any of them get mad at all. Or is it just a convenience game for them now to push the latest narrative.

    Democrats are far more concerned about being popular than they are about being good politicians. For so long, they have relied on the ignorance of the population to remain popular with them for election cycles.

    Only now, the people are starting to wake up to just how out of touch with average Americans Democrats really are. They aren't going to get away with it anymore.

    The only way Democrats are going to get away with it is if they infest places like Portland, Seattle, SF, LA, New York, and other Democrat-run shit holes; where the population that they lord over is as out of touch with the rest of America as they are. Just so that they can continue to play on the ignorance of said population by playing the popularity contest.

    It's why Obama was such a popular president....but terrible at actually BEING the president.

    So your opinion of Obama changed after you voted for him the first time and saw first hand how he did on the job. That's not flip flopping, that's becoming more informed based on observation.

    But lets be honest, even if Wyden and dems loved this guy they're still going to oppose him because this is one of the few bargaining chips that they have. Backroom deals will be made in exchange for eventual votes. And that has always been an acceptable thing in politics.

    Unless he fucks up in the hearings he's going to be on the SC.

    You are right Sly, they will run their narrative and light up the protesters.... Welcome to the new America where Democrats don't get their way and act like babies all over the country.

    On a side note: Thank GOD Hillary was not elected. We'd have SJW bullshit popping up everywhere. I think the schools would run out of square footage trying to build a bathroom for every nutcase who thinks they deserve their own bathroom for whatever the fuck gender they are today.

    You voted for a flip flopper. So you tell me, is flip flopping the new acceptable thing for politicians?

    For me, 26 minutes of pure boredom and no sliver of excitement. Sounds political doesn't it?

    In a related issue, Trump's nominees to numerous posts have been blocked by Democrats. It's only a delaying tactic, they will be approved.

    But I'd rather see Trump pull them all and shut down all but the essential agencies altogether.

    It's a win-win-win. Democrats get what they want, Democrats get what they deserve. The people win.
