Nothing new though. Limited govt and free speech protections only work for the things the right likes, otherwise, that's out the door. Shallow ideologies...

Limited government and free speech protections not for the things that the right likes, but for things that apply. It's been like that forever.

A function of government is to collect taxes.

So with all the pissing and moaning going on about oligarchs in Russia Ukraine Etc somebody help me out, WTF is the difference between them and these guys?

"Who Are America's 10 Richest Senators?" https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/041516/who-are-americas-7richest-senators.asp

I'm guessing it's like a difference between a good clean hit and a cheap shot depending on whether it's a Browns or Squeelers player.

WSS

Doing a little digging.

To begin with the oligarchs are not always the wealthy politicians you are pointing to but rather outsiders such corporations and affluent outsiders.

Then there are 13 types of oligarchs, the most self serving appears to be what is known as a plutocracy.

A plutocracy is an oligarchy in which the ruling class is made up of extremely wealthy individuals who use their money to influence policy, typically with the goal of making even more money. (the ruling class does not mean politicians, but rather the rich who control them.)

So the question is are these senators obtaining their wealth by making policy dictated by the oligarchs?

Answer: It doesn't appear so.

All the senators in your link are described as gaining their wealth before entering politics.

Then again I may be barking up the wrong tree in reference to your question.

I can’t see the video. Way to bad of a picture. Just a bunch of idiots yelling 

 

It comes into view at about :38.  At about 2:20 you hear the gunshots.  The video goes in and out.

Need to somehow keep guns out of the hands of suburban white kids.

Haha..BLM protesting police brutality in a Pitt suburb gets floored by cop.

Nice punch and follow through.

Plus: Mass shooting, 2 dead.

We need to do something about guns.

So Joe, are you not watching the Browns on Sundays anyway?

I bet your kids are an afterthought those 3 hrs. 

Definitely not for the general election of the POTUS.

However, it can be subject to debate for state and local elections because it doesn't appear to be another scheme aimed to benefit demonrats ...as does eliminating the Electoral College, requiring no voter ID, and allowing illegals, sixteen yr. olds, and felons vote.

Thank you Vambo. Can you expound upon this? Simply changing who is in office will have no bearing on existing gun laws. What action(s) do you expect the non-democrats to take to resolve, or improve upon, the gun violence situation.

Perhaps his point was to show that the absurdity of these "criminal friendly" policies, proves that no demonrat should be in a position to make or change gun laws.

To your third sentence. Are you now implying that there are no solutions? 

Take a stand would ya?

And likewise, legal restrictions don't exist in a vacuum.

The last time this topic came up, you dodged my questions. I bring up a fair argument this time, and you refuse to engage. So let me ask you again. How do you propose enforcement of a law that transitions guns or magazines that tens of millions of people in the country legally own into something that is now illegal? You have hammered on background checks and more restrictions on who can and cannot buy a firearm. New York City has all of that and more. However, the crux of the issue, which you are unwilling to engage on, is that THERE ARE HALF A BILLION GUNS IN THE COUNTRY, NEARLY TWO FOR EVERY CITIZEN. Every time the gun control lobby has a freakout, that number goes up!  There are practical and cultural barriers that the gun control lobby is going to have to overcome to accomplish their goals, and if you can come up with a way to make the country safer without going full Hitler, then I'm all ears. 

Woodys recourse is what it always is... to go complain on the football forum about what nut jobs everyone over here is.

I didn’t wanna argue any of that, lol. I thought you were trying to generate some amusement and l was just playing along. I’m not too far off the mark with a quick google search. 
 

1. 

a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation.

"there are no easy solutions to financial and marital problems"

• 2. 

  a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).

  "a solution of ammonia in water"

The trick in finding a "solution" to a problem is not to create new ones.

The left/demonrats have a history of "solving problems"  which resulted in created new ones. That's a fact jack.

You must be in the mood for some ridiculousness. Fair enough. The caveat didn’t disprove anything. A solution can be perfectly effective for resolving a problem, and just because it creates or exacerbates another problem doesn’t mean it was less effective at tackling the original problem, it just means it created another problem in the process. Whether or not that newly created problem is more or less acceptable as an overall outcome when balanced with the resolution of of the first problem, well that’s where the debate comes in to play.

If your dick kept falling off most of the time and there was a medication that made it stop falling off most of the time, but it had a side effect that made your dick smell like Gorgonzola cheese, is this newly created problem of having a stinky cheese dick acceptable to you in lieu of having your dick keep falling off most of the time? Debatable, right? The medication is damn good at keeping your dick in place with a noticeable and quantifiable rate, so that problem is no less solved because your dick smells like stinky cheese.

Some guys may like having a stinky cheese dick. It reminds them of a wonderful trip they had to Spain. Some guys may not mind that their dick keeps falling off. It’s more comfortable on long car rides to just chuck it in the glove box. It can really blur the lines between problem and solution, so it’s nice that we can have these deep and ridiculous conversations to really gain perspective on such things. 

You did very well being ridiculous except that Steve's take was anything but.

I'm using the name that the bill is going by online. It doesn't say explicitly "don't say gay", but the intentions are abundantly obvious. The responses in this thread prove that. You want to talk about people being "manipulated" then we should do a google trend search on this board for the word "groomer" over the last month or so....

 Not a chance.

The Browns did a thorough investigation before they gave him and his 28-25 record more than 230 million guaranteed. And they have never made mistakes before.

It appears this is gonna be a tough row to hoe for our Super Bowl QB.

Unbelievable and believable at the same time.

Still waiting on you to give us a link of an article outlying how Watson demanded all his white coached be fired in Houston and replaced with black coaches.

Thanks in advance. 

He may have you on ignore. Did that thought ever enter your head?

And what if Watson did say that, would you be surprised? I don't think you would, and I'm sure you'd soon find a way to rationalize it.
