Kolek planning to go pro
I'm an Independent who is not really on a "side" when it comes to Dems and GOP
Al should go. As should all of the R's accused of the same, RC83. Happy?
Al should definitely go. No doubt.
Say nothing unless you have something worthwhile to say.Hiding behind "thoughts and prayers" is cowardly.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Agreed. Easy on the hostility, friend. From up close, Franken is a smarmy punk. Also very smart, and knows how to speak well and spin things. He's like a lot of (not all) politicians on both sides of the aisle. In MN we've had some great politicians that were on both sides of the aisle. I respected David Minge and Rod Grahms. Dem and Rep. We've also had our share of complete idiots. I was kicked out of Paul Wellstone's office by the senator himself....before I could even say a word. Guy was the laughing stock of the Democratic Party...by democrats. Bill Luther was a very reasonable man. Jim Ramstead was great to talk to, and had a wonderful staff.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
You managed to talk about idiot politicians from Minnesota without bringing up Venture? Impressive.As for Franken, if the allegations are true, he should absolutely step down. If he doesn't, he should be investigated and then be made to step down if the investigation finds the claims to be credible.
I support any sanctions toward politicians accused of sexual impropriety. Of both parties. I'm glad the floodgates have opened in Hollywood. Bring it out into the open. Expose the predators and hypocrites, regardless of profession or political persuasion.
If they’re true? There’s a dang picture of it. I could see how a rational, unbiased person could use the “if” word for that crapbag Moore and keep a straight face (I’ll admit that I’m assuming there’s no visual evidence of any of his god-knows-how-many score incidents), but unless you’re a LEO or media, using the “if” word on Franken takes some real Kellyanne Cohones.
How do we sanction the politician who publicly admitted to going backstage at beauty pageants so he could leer at naked contestants as young as 15, and also publicly admitted grabby lady cats?
What laws do we lack that can stop this?Gunman in Northern California rampage was not supposed to have gunshttp://www.cnn.com/2017/11/15/us/california-tehama-county-shootings/index.htmlCalifornia mass shooter built his own illegal gunshttps://nypost.com/2017/11/16/california-mass-shooter-built-his-own-illegal-guns/California mass shooter killed wife, buried her beneath floorhttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/california-mass-shooter-killed-wife-buried-her-beneath-floor-n821051------------And to anticipate the unrealistic answer, we have 300 to 500 million guns in this country, how do we get them out of his hands after a total ban is in place? How do we get the illegal parts out of his hands when we make them illegal ... oh wait, they are already.
Did anyone here say that this epidemic can be stopped entirely? Did anyone say that it is realistic to go after all of the guns already out there? Did anyone say this was entirely a gun control issue? Hint: no. This is about prevention and saving lives going forward. You'll never be able to eliminate mass shootings entirely. But there are plenty of things that can be done to reduce the scale of carnage inflicted, to stop individuals that don't already have weapons from obtaining them, etc. Doing nothing is not acceptable. As usual, your logic misses the mark.
I don't know what the exact solutions should be. I know more inaction isn't a good one.
I've never used the slippery slope argument. I've just said the gun is a fact of life in the US and it is impossible to get rid of them.And since you admitted it is impossible to stop these type of shooters**, there is one solution left ... more guns and more "good guys" with conceal carried guns.So you will demand we "do something" ... but not this. "Do something" is code for punishing legal gun owners. Jockey is so far gone he blames legal gun owners (i.e., the NRA) for these shootings. He does even know what the problem is anymore.-----** six weeks after Vegas they still don't have a motivate. The Texas Chruch shooter was not supposed to have guns but the Government screwed up. This guy made his own illegal guns. The only way to stop this is a "good guy" with a gun that can take him on as he starts.
No one said it is impossible to stop these type of shooters. That's very different from saying all mass shootings cannot be eliminated. Try again. Good guys with guns is not the solution.
"Do something" is code for punishing legal gun owners.
