US Government Shutdown- It's Over!... For Now

[Greater vakolicci haven]

The democrats do lack an understanding of the constitution however, particularly these things called amendments that give rights to American citizens.

You mean like the one that guarantees the right to vote to all citizens that the Republicans are desperate to find any way around they can?

How are they trying to find ways around it?
Liberals have stated how much they dislike the second amendment pretty clearly, now they don't seem too fond of the first either.

[Western Vale Confederacy]

The certainly seem to not comprehend the Second Amendment, though.

Funny how it always comes back to that like a fucking scripted response.

Because it's the fucking truth.

Many Dems have openly showed negative or occasionally outright hostile views of the Second Amendment.

[The South Falls]

He needs a christ the redeemer.

Donaldo Redentor

He needs people to pray to him.

[The Grims]

Donaldo Redentor

He needs people to pray to him.

Does he answer ?

Cults of personality, how do they work?

[The South Falls]

Does he answer ?

He'll give a shoutout in his speech.

Like that, but... nah it's exactly like that. Just possibly with less outright worship.

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

Well, we've proven we can get by without 25% of the government. Now lets try for 50%.

Oh, and if Congress got off their asses and passed a budget instead of this temporary funding bullshit, we might avoid these shutdowns in the future.

The National Parks are effectively falling apart and people will become furious when their tax returns don't arrive, but yes, very fine.

If it holds until April, well...

[The Grims]

What do people think of Ivankas chances to become the president of the world bank ?

October is what to aim for, the department of health shuts down then as does the CDC.

Admittedly that is more than most gods grant.

It's the doublethink that gets me. There's always the simultaneous claims that:

1. Democrats had total control of the government for a significant chunk of Obama's time in office; and
2. Democrats all want to destroy the second amendment.

And yet, despite both of these supposed truths, that didn't happen.

Luckily, since it is an amendment, it would take state legislatures to agree to repeal it. There are enough states with sensible governments not to want to do that.

If you donate enough to his re-election campaign.

Gun sales went up during Obama's presidency. Democrats never did anything to change the 2nd amendment, it's all propaganda from the opposition. America will have it's mass shootings, high crime rates and doomsday preppers wasting money on weapons and ammo regardless of what party is in charge. It's all theirs to enjoy.

Heaven, maybe?

What do people think of Ivankas chances to become the president of the world bank ?

Terrible. She's just not qualified.

It would be if the US had public healthcare.

Terrible. She's just not qualified.

Not being qualified imho is in itself a qualification. If the world bank collapses under mismanagement it will be the end of one of the worlds largest financial institutions, which could create turmoil.

The point being that with control of the house, a super majority in the Senate, a more favorable Supreme Court than at most any time in Modern history, amd a President, the Democrats never made any meaningful moves to control guns. Its almost as of the Gun Rights doomsayers were fabricating complete nonsense about the intentions of the Democrats about gun control.

A favourable supreme court? Even after Obama had made all his picks, you stil had Roberts, Kenneddy, Alito, Thomas and Scalia.

Which, yeah, they have valid complaints against it.

The evidence is against the Second Amendment, and I say that as a pro-gun advocate who owns guns himself.

There is no such federal ruling.

You just won't be subjected to a fee in order to vote, and your gender and color of skin will not be counted against you.

It just sorta exists because it's treated as though it does.

There are constitutional amendments prohibiting withdrawal of the right to vote based on race, based on gender, based on age and based on taxation. What other characteristics are left before it is "all citizens" then?

Crimminal record (Felons can't vote), political affiliation, drug-use, and mental health assessments (crimminally insane), for starters.

There has also been talk about capping the max voting age to 55.

There has been no serious talk of capping the max voting age to 55. At most, I can find this petition, which has 17 supporters.
