Re: Excellent discussion of the McCloskey firearm prosecution in St Louis
I'll spend only 5 more minutes on this. You can have the last word. 1 - I haven't seen any video* that shows direct threats made toward the McCloskeys or people moving toward them in a threatening manner. If you have other video, can I see a link? I saw people marching down the street chanting and y...

Re: Excellent discussion of the McCloskey firearm prosecution in St Louis
Benny, IMO it boils down to whether the "protesters" presented a reasonable threat. It would be a legalistic argument to reach for trespassing & the Castle Doctrine if the trespassers were merely marching past the McCloskeys and chanting. BUT if they were threatening them, it's a diffe...

Re: Excellent discussion of the McCloskey firearm prosecution in St Louis
I'm a fan of the Second Amendment. Also a fan of the "reasonable person" standard. I saw video of the McCloskeys pointing their guns in a way that could be considered threatening; but the video didn't show the behavior of protesters/trespassers that conveyed a threat beyond walking down th...

Re: What to make of the election?

Increasing US production of natural gas, depressing the price of Russia's primary income source Discouraging Germany's pipeline from Russia Providing lethal...

Re: My State Has Gone Full Fucking Clownship
My only point is that there are costs to the disease and costs to the cure. So far the US has come up with imperfect, but hopefully effective, disease mitigation plans. Pretty soon, with more testing, we'll probably be able to game out scenarios for the cost of the disease. I agree. At some point t...

Re: Jordan Peterson
The hostility toward Peterson puzzles me. IMO Peterson's fundamental message is to make the most of your life, to expect obstacles along the way and to take them as best you can. Each of us is on our individual hero's journey. What agitates such hate? ***** Or is it that "hierarchies happen&quo...

Trump never asked for an investigation of Biden. He asked Ukraine to announce one. From the transcript of the July 25 call: "There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the Attorney Gen...

His defense has argued that he basically can't do anything impeachable, and that is the reason for acquitting him, having given up on the "He didn't do it" defense. Almost. The defense is, "When the President's actions benefit BOTH the country AND his political future, then such acti...

It do for me: Mr Trump, after the strike, told associates he was under pressure to deal with Gen.

We had the opportunity, so we killed him." It's been that way, with plenty of opportunities, since I was there in 2008 (when I got "read in" to what was going on). And Trump finally did something about it. Killing him while a guest of the Iraqis was strategically dumb. That's one tak...
