It’s supposed to blow through the restrictions of the Posse Comitatus Act and normalize military violence against US citizens; or against anyone who disagrees with, or tries to resist, the Trump administration.

In all fairness, you don’t have to spend very long working in retail to feel like sex work not only probably pays much better, but is also probably a lot less degrading.

Just throwing up any kind of chaff they can find to distract from Epstein.

Because one of the many things shoe-horned into this bill was the removal of suppressors and short-barreled rifles from the NFA, this has been the subject of conversation in a lot of the gun subs on Reddit. It’s been fun watching some of the boot-lickingest right-wing gun owners absolutely shitting all over this bill on account of how bad it is. Even the AR15 sub, which doesn’t usually allow political threads, was like, fuck it, we’re leaving this one up because everyone needs to know what absolute garbage this bill is.

Forced reset devices are actually exactly like bump stocks in that they’re legal because they force a distinct action of the trigger for every round fired. The legal definition of a machine gun is a firearm that fires more than one round per single action of the trigger. They haven’t bothered to amend or expand that definition, so these types of devices keep skirting by on a technicality.

I suppose the argument could be made that forced reset devices work in a very similar way to a machine gun’s auto sear, the difference being that they act on the trigger of the gun rather than the hammer, but it still doesn’t meet the government’s own definition of a machine gun.

Behind the Bastards did a four-parter on him last year. It was a pretty wild ride.

Gonna be even more fun when all the empty trucks leaving from the empty west-coast ports I’ve been reading about for the past few days become empty shelves over the next few weeks. The real pain hasn’t even started yet.

Yes, comrades, Emmanuel Goldstein has struck again. Obviously this is all his doing.

That’s actually pretty cool.

I think that pretty much sums up the entire ethos of Silicon Valley these days.

Brittany Petterson is the congressional representative for Colorado’s 7th district. Not Utah. It’s literally the first full sentence you’ll read if you google her name, and it says so on the page her name links to in the article, in case you wondered what level of fact checking and editorial oversight we’re dealing with here.
