I love that our military is being used for what militaries are SUPPOSED to do (and have done for thousands of years) and not fighting for Israel or f'ing around in a third-world country bleeding money.

The 14th amendment is pretty explicit and has centuries of case law. The 2nd specifics a well-regulated militia, which when the constitution was written would be equivalent to the National Guard. Is bas expanded since then, but there are limitations to ownership that have always existed.

But I see your priorities. Always guns before children unless they are an embryo.

Hey, so when are the cost of eggs coming down?

Canada has its own shit show immigration and economic problems, I disagree with inheriting their mess until they can sort it out. When/if that happens, I think it would make a decent vassal or protectorate. Since that's essentially what we do for them at this point...

Trump, so confident about his territorial expansion platform he didn't give voters the chance to judge it during his election campaign on ending forever wars and rebuilding the economy.

Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you.  But Trump supporters continue to ignore facts and claim anything that isn’t in line with Trump is fake news.  It is truly baffling how he has such a stronghold over people.  He is unkind, not well spoken, not well educated, lies constantly, talks only about himself, paints himself as a victim even when he isn’t.  After 8+ years of this garbage, I can’t play nice anymore.  Get a decent human running for GOP - that’s fine.  But this is bonkers.
