The problem is, what are we the people, supposed to do? 75% of Americans made it clear that roe should remain as is. But the right wing supreme Court went against a majority of Americans, and voted against us. I'm not sure the statistics on gun owners vs non gun owners, so I can't speak to majority as guns are concerned. But I was commenting once on how no one really needs a military style weapon. And someone answered back, have you ever seen what a regular shotgun can do to a person. And unfortunately, it's true. With proper planning, a person with a pump action shotgun, which most duck hunters carry and own, could do a hell of a lot of damage to people in a mall, church or school. So where do you draw the line on allowable ownership of guns in general?
One shooter i remember took many pistols and made an attack on innocent people . I'm still saying people don't need military style weapons for home protection or hunting even. But as for extremists and nutbags,,, it seems any weapon, is one too many.

Sounds like to me the jury has made up their minds then.
I'm laughing, thinking of Mr tuff guy, crying about a cold and unfair environment, and that he can't speak out what he really wants to say. Get on with this trial please.
NO, hung juries allowed. And most definitely, NO, acquittals either. All we will accept is a 100%, unanimous, GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY. Thanks.
Congratulations Ben. Happy marriage 👍

I wasn't really political until I met my wife. Even then we didn't do or talk politics other than having very similar views on life. I first registered as a Dem when I first started voting for Obama. I wanted to vote for Obama because I truly wanted him to win. We definitely needed a black president to hopefully show that as a country, we had come together more and more.
I watched as Mitch McConnell, fought every aspect of Obamas presidency. Disgusting. Then when the Dems pressed what they called progressive, and pushed for free everything, super open borders without controls or consideration for our own natural resources etc. Then I started calling myself an independent. I would never vote for Republican unless that Republican was a centrist. We have to have democracy. But we must have some common sense government. If you think pure Dem or Repub is perfect, you're fooling yourself. If you just vote Dem or Repub without any thought, you're a sheep, waiting to be led.
These people that are calling themselves Republicans are nothing more than extremists. People pushing an agenda of an extreme right view of how one group of people are pushing. I can't go with the so-called,progressive, movement. Any more than when the tea party formed their little yuppy org. This is why Joe Biden is doing as well as he is. Because he is a moderate. He understands we cannot have a way right or way left government. Because our country, and the world,is and always will be a mix of both. These labels we've created are a big part of the problem. We've automatically set up barriers between people. Putting too much stock in those labels.

Trump and many politicians play to the vet through patriotism. Vets are generally patriotic or claim to be. But, there are different ideas to what is patriotic. If trump or those other politicians or people in general, get ahold of those vets, using patriotism as the reason, gains their trust or loyalty.
But soldiers are people first, with flaws, certain beliefs, how they were raised. Many factors.
This is why, trump has followers of every status in life. Bankers, lawyers, carpenters, nurses etc. And all for different reasons.
Look at the national guard .
Weekend warriors but in totally different jobs, the rest of the week or month. So I'm not surprised there are military and ex military amongst the attackers on Jan 6 th.
I call what the people desire to have open carry, "Gun balls". Because it turns a natural introvert into a dirty harry.
And your point about having weapons available anytime, anywhere, and have fender benders or road rage, will turn out in shootouts and murder. But encased in the guise of self defense. Well he had a gun, so I pulled mine, then the guy in the next car thought I was in the wrong so he pulls his and we get into a shootout.
And now, some states are trying to make it so you can open carry, without a permit, waiting period, background check, anything! Ridiculous.

Well, you have to admit, we've had actual traitors in upper echelon military since the beginning of our country. What about, Etc tu, brute. There were top generals that totally disagree with the president or king. It just seems more pronounced here now in the US. Where we seem to think we're not humans. That make mistakes. Do bad things.
Trust me, I constantly laugh a bit when I hear, " Look, it's Superman. And he fights the neverending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American way. I guess if you separate those three, it makes it more true. But when you really see how we've born the country, we've made a hell of a lot of not so nice things.

I have a feeling they're going to settle. This way trump doesn't get convicted as a rapist. How could he EVER, live that down. A CONVICTED RAPIST! Couldn't he be jailed then?
From what I got from small interviews of Carrol, she was or is a little wacky. Why didn't she shout out? He doesn't seem like the type to threaten her if she did. I would be hard pressed to be a juror. But hopefully there's some better evidence than, he said, she said. Or it could turn out to be a hung jury. Though I guess u can't with 9. I know trump is a disgusting slug, but if she's a kinda flake, that is flamboyant, a bit loony etc. That suddenly decides to come out and call rape, how is the jury expected to call it out and out rape? I guess without watching the testimony, we can't swear, that it was rape, as opposed to a, got outta hand mutual thing. With remorse and shame on her part, after. It does happen. Not standing up for him. But come on. If we all haven't had 1, sexual time in our lives where we have thought about it after, and said it was wrong? And how many rape stories in history, were to get back at someone. Again, I know trumps an SOB, a cheater, pays for sex, has affairs with porn stars, all the signs of a degenerate. But is he a force rapist? Honestly, a very iffy case. Though I know, trump haters will say yes, he's a rapist. And I despise the slob. But I don't know about being a rapist. He just seems more the groper. The touch um inappropriately type. The boaster. The bragger but too chicken shit, to do it type. I guess we'll see.
