The felons from Jan 6 should never legally carry a gun again.

Government cannot function without revenue to pay for the things it does.

"Tax and spend" isn't a policy...so you need to go back to the drawing board and articulate actual policies that failed and ones that didn't.

I see what you're trying to do...diminish faith in the institution of government so that you can tear it down and reshape it according to your twisted, narrow, myopic views that aren't shared or supported by even a plurality of voters.

Do better.

what has the institution of government done? maybe they should do better. maybe YOU should do better.

most republicans, texas or otherwise, are nothing but RINOs. Even then, republican policies are mostly failures because they like to spend like drunken sailors as well..........just on different parts of their government

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd here comes the "NO TRUE SCOTSMAN".

Right on cue.

Libertarians = Republicans = Conservatives = Teabags = MAGA = John Birch Society = Klan

It's the same pig, but with different lipstick.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

OK, well first of all, it's been decades since you've been in the military, and in those years, the alcoholism has destroyed your brain, so your recollections aren't exactly trustworthy.

Secondly, the military has one job: protect this country.

It has not done that job well in the last 20 years.

I would even argue it didn't do that job well the last 50 years.

We are no safer today than we were on 9/10/2001. In fact, we're more vulnerable now because of the erosion of public trust in our institutions thanks to Trump and Bush the Dumber.

ROFL............the above is stupidity nobody wants to argue with. You have ZERO conception of how the government works, yet you rant and clamor for government to work. you're kinda hopeless. but yes, lets continue with adhom ridiculousness in the hopes it diverts from your display of ignorance

It's the same pig, but with different lipstick.

this is another clear display of your ignorance. Socrtease, who used to post here, was a LEFT LEANING libertarian.............so your assertion is clearly a lie

 

[LV426]

semantics.....................they wanted to raid a secret government facility.............how many showed up?

LMAO! Did they get in and raid Area 51? No? So what did they do? A few Naruto runs. None of them assaulted any of the guards at Area 51, did they?

And did an elected official call for them to raid Area 51? No?

So how is this anything close to 1/6?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

I understand plenty, what I don't understand is how welfare queens like you think government, which has provided you with *everything* in your life, fails at policies.

So I suppose that means you're a failure because your entire life has been funded by taxpayers. Every single moment of it is owed to the government. Your job...government job. Your health care...government health care. Your education...government.

Fuck, I bet you were born in a state hospital!

You're diaper-to-daiper government dependency, and now you're trying to convince me that the government, which paid your way for your entire life, fails?

this is how you fail..........when you have to resort to delusional lies to make you feel better about your completely fucked up argument, you lose.

 

[LV426]

which makes them no different than liberals.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

 

[LV426]

atimes and california.............anything right of socialism is radical and extremist. This article is shit, fake news.

Wait a second.

So you don't believe that a Boogaloo was arrested and charged with murdering cops?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

what has the institution of government done? maybe they should do better. maybe YOU should do better.

What We, the People have collectively agreed it should do.

 

[LV426]

meaning that the majority of this country are a bunch of morons...

No, meaning that you're the moron.

There is no virtue in what you're doing.

There is only contempt and laziness.

 

[LV426]

what right do you have to force another person to service you with their labor and/or property????

The only one "servicing" me would the the doctor by providing me the service of health care.

You already pay for other people's health care when you pay an insurance premium, a deductible, or a payroll tax.

Because what juror in his/her right mind would want to vote guilty for a father who protected his children using a gun that he isn't supposed to possess and use?

Yes the said father is a felon who broke a law. The question, is the law right or wrong in this case?

Okay. I see what you mean by 'jury nullification'.

 

[LV426]

that's ironic, considering you denounced service members as having no employable skills for the private sector

Right, and even with those lack of skills I still think you're owed a living wage.

That's the difference between us...you seek to put value on people, like slavery, and then measure their worth by that value.

That's why you're so lonely.

 

[Into the Night]

Oh they can obtain a gun alright but if caught with it it's jail city sport.

By what authority?

 

[LV426]

what stops anyone from going to college?

Money.

what right do you have to make others do what you think is right?

You think it's wrong to protect the environment?

Weird flex, bro.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

even cowtown is losing its sense of freedom as those tired of the failure of liberal policies but lack the ability to see why move west

Cities always go liberal at some point. Something to do with millions of people living in close proximity both next to each other and on top of each other.

My main complaint is when they want to spread "one-size-fits-all" laws from the city to the countryside. It's not necessary.

It's one thing to say "No open carry in town". It's another to tell some ranch family 100 miles from the nearest city that they can't "open carry".

 

[Into the Night]

Disagree, he clearly hates himself.

Hmmmm. You might be right about that.

 

[LV426]

if the 'wealthy' are paying less than their fair share, tell me why they aren't?

Tax cuts.

you want money out of the election process yet continue to elect people who take private money and then legislate according to what those donors wanted.............not real smart. we call that FAILURE!!!!!

I voted for Bernie in the primaries and have been a very vocal proponent of publicly-funded elections since I started posting on JPP in 2018.

I also support this John Lewis Voting Rights bill that puts publicly-funded elections in place for many races.

So I can back myself up, whereas the best you can do is cynically sit on the sidelines like a benchwarmer.

 

[Into the Night]

You're lying again. We've talked about this extensively. Are you afraid the Friendly Bureau Investigators are watching?

BTW, I told you that too back in December.

Bigotry. Parler isn't criminal activity.

 

[LV426]

you defer to those in authority. that makes you an authoritarian by default

What are you talking about? Use your words, not empty platitudes that I'm forced to try and figure out what you meant in the moment.
