WTF, and 9 more killed in Dayton. Terribly sad for everyone in both of these cities and I’m all for sensible gun regulations. I just wish there was as much media and political outrage about the daily gun violence in some of the inner cities. Nine killed can sometimes be a weekend in Chicago... They won't talk about that. |

Yeah! Let’s go into some whataboutism after two white assholes, one of which is being reported to be a white nationalist, decide to go murder 29 people. But yeah! Inner cities and gun violence! Take those guns away from those inner city black people but don’t you dare talk about these good white folk because statistics! TRO |

Just read an interesting idea about California ballots sans Trump in view of the latest law wrt tax returns:
Not to rush, but sue to strike these ballots as unconstitutional when it's too late to change them, and thus invalidate all the submitted Californian ballots and possibly the electoral votes...

Socialism requires certain homogeneity. The difference between national-socialists and international-socialists is how the homogeneity is achieved (ethnic cleansing vs. world revolution).
When the latter path fails, and when the internal purges don't yield the desired effect as well, the international socialists turn to ethnic cleansings as well (e.g. post-war Soviet Union)

the 19 year old Gilroy coward went to Nevada and legally bought a semi-automatic killing machine - but while there, he'd have to wait till 21 to purchase his JUUL vape kit. I believe there can be tighter legislation around gun ownership (especially semi-automatics) and still have a 2nd amendment intact. Does the 2nd amendment also mean I can purchase & legally park a loaded Army tank in my driveway? Is that my freedom too?
One of the few places I go 'left' is on stronger gun controls for the usa. We should all register, insure and annually re-new our guns like the DMV does for our autos. It's so easily possible. The current status quo is far too weak for this nations greater good.

TRO Back in a day MUDs (especially Diku, but LPs definitely too) were extremely violent games. Maybe not graphically, but much more consciously, because you had to type "kill human" (frequently) or even "kill child" sometimes - and would read the extremely graphical text descriptions of the process. I played one like that, all of my friends back in college did. Hundreds of thousands of people, mostly future engineers and scientists did, and I haven't heard of anyone becoming more violent because of it.
Video games are no more a cause of violence than the Comic Hero strips; video games addiction is an issue indeed, but of different nature, and needs to be addressed by the parents of the addicted when minor, or like substance addictions in majors.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Four California voters have sued to block a new state law aimed at forcing Republican President Donald Trump to release his income tax returns.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law last week that requires presidential candidates to file five years of their income tax returns with the California secretary of state. Candidates who don’t comply will not appear on the March 3 presidential primary ballot.
The conservative group Judicial Watch announced Monday it had filed a lawsuit last week to challenge the law. The four plaintiffs are two Republicans, one Democrat and one independent.
“This is a nonpartisan concern about the state running roughshod and attempting to amend the Constitution on its own,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.
The Constitution requires three things of presidents: They have to be born in the U.S.; must be at least 35 and must have lived in the country for at least 14 years.
Attorneys for Judicial Watch argue California’s law effectively alters the Constitution by adding a new requirement for tax returns, something they say state governments don’t have the authority to do.
California’s law says voters need to know details about presidential candidates’ finances to “better estimate the risks of any given Presidential candidate engaging in corruption.”
But Judicial Watch argues that rationale could lead states to demand things like medical and mental health records and eventually things like Amazon purchases, Google search histories and Facebook friends.
The organization also argues that by limiting the law to primary elections, it does not apply to independent candidates. Judicial Watch also says the law violates voters’ constitutional rights to associate with presidential candidates and the voters who support them, rights it says are guaranteed under the First and 14th amendments.
The lawsuit names Secretary of State Alex Padilla as the defendant because his office is in charge of enforcing the law. Representatives for Padilla and Newsom declined to comment on Monday, saying they have not been officially notified of the lawsuit.
When he signed the law last week, Newsom released statements from three lawyers, including the dean of the University of California, Berkeley law school, saying the law is constitutional.
Newsom contends Congress has changed aspects of the presidency previously, including limiting presidents to two terms after President Franklin Roosevelt was elected to four terms, and passing anti-nepotism laws after President John F. Kennedy appointed his brother, Robert, U.S. attorney general.
“If the federal government is not going to act, California needs to act. We’ve always done that,” Newsom said in a video posted to his Twitter account.
Citizens have had to pay federal income taxes since 1913, but it wasn’t until 1973 when a U.S. president made his personal tax returns public. Republican Richard Nixon released his tax returns publicly while he was being audited by the IRS.
Ever since, U.S. presidents have released at least a summary of their personal income taxes. That includes most major candidates for president, with some exceptions. Former California Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown did not release his tax returns when he ran for president in 1992.
Trump has refused to release his tax returns, saying they are being audited by the IRS.

Rights have limits. Nellie can’t buy a functioning tank no matter how close he was to Jacques Littlefield. You can’t yell fire in a crowded theater. The Supreme Court had a pretty significant interpretation of the second amendment less than 12 years ago. |
