Yeah. It's unfortunate that Russia doesn't have a real film industry. I would love to see ww2 war movies from their perspective.
Jude Law, Ed Harris and some other people would like a word.
Obviously Kansas doesn't represent America. It's much worse than that. Kansas represents the part of America that would theoretically be all for repealing anything that would keep abortion legal.Would you care to elucidate?
In a Christian school the moral of that story is if God tells you to commit an atrocity then you must commit an atrocity.
It wouldn't be phrased that way, however, as if it's something God is doing (or telling someone to do) it is, by definition of God being all-good, not an atrocity.
Doesn't shock me at all. Clearly all these miscreants have been smoking marijuana cigarettes and listening to Rock and/or Roll!
Marijuana cigarettes, goofballs, yellow jackets, gorilla biscuits, windowpane acid...
Who knows what kind of junk these freaks are on.
The building wasn’t empty, evacuated yet...
There was just ‘40 feet between the vice president and the mob’ on Jan. 6, Aguilar says
“Approximately 40 feet. That’s all there was, 40 feet between the vice president and the mob,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Redlands). “Make no mistake about the fact that the vice president’s life was in danger.”
Video footage from the Jan. 6 insurrection displayed during the hearing showed the mob chanting “Hang Mike Pence,” as they stormed the Capitol. Another rioter yelled into a camera, “You f—ing politicians are gonna get dragged through the streets.”
Anyone can see that there are several walls there between Pence and the protestors. The fact is that nothing happened to Pence and his security detail succeeded.
Since he could have brought them there in minutes with a simple phone call, but did not do so, clearly he did NOT want them there.Wait...you were just saying how the president is in charge...
How did the National Guard get there if the President didn't want them there?
You are quoting things that Miller said in that passage, not Trump. Trump wanted sufficient numbers of National Guard and Soldiers at the protest.
If by "dispose of it" you mean the 2nd ammendment, then your hypothetical is nonsensical because no branch of government can unilaterally change the constitution, so who cares?
By "dispose of" I mean disposing of the Fed because they became too tyrannical. Violating the second amendment might be one reason, yes.Question along the same lines; Isn't the fact that a citizen can't own an F-15 or a tactical nuke an infringement of our second amendment rights?
During the time it was written the equivalent of billionaires in those times could own fleets of armed vessels and train and equip their men with weapons, so it is arguable that the founding fathers would not put restrictions on F-15s.
In regards to nuclear weapons, this may fall outside of the scope of what the framers envisioned. The second amendment gave the public the ability to act as a military power against a tyrannical government. But nuclear weapons fall outside of the classification of normal arms, as even the militaries of foreign countries are prohibited by international regulations from building and possessing nuclear weapons beyond the countries which already had them, since their proliferation could cause nuclear winter and human extinction. The usage of nuclear weapons against human targets is also tantamount to genocide, even if used solely against military targets, due to atmospheric and land-based radioactive effect, would provoke an international response, and is extremely taboo.
Nuclear weapons are not necessary to wage a serious war, so this limitation is generally accepted by the militaries of the world, and semi-successful efforts have been underway for the eventual mutual denuclearization of existing nuclear powers.
Incorrect.
If things were bad enough that people were rebelling against the Fed it is also likely that states would ideologically secede and the military bases in the opposing areas would align with the rebellion, as what happened during the civil war. Therefore the conservative rebellion would also have its own "F-15s", and also a civilian army of millions of people with guns. The liberal side would have F-15s and no millions of people with guns.
Also, the number of people with guns generally outnumbers F-15s and major military hardware thousands to one.
