But you just said parenting was the virtue you're talking about, Wol.

You're really confusing me.

Are you not supposed to sacrifice for a stranger?

Then why use it as a moral measurement?

A while, which is I suppose a small bandaid for their credibility.

They stopped looking like *as big* of fools.

Mueller deliberately delaying his investigation report until after the midterms.

So, you know. Probably makes trump look good.

They just need wiring and dets they don't have.

Oh no, an effective second world dictatorship with a veil of democracy.

The horror.

Consider my consternation.

"Does Hillary Clinton feast and bathe in the blood of the unborn to sustain her damned existence?"

"I don't know, I'm just asking."

Yeah. The moral quality of genocide is just a matter of opinion.

Eh, me, I think about 60.

Might be delayed until after the midterms, though. Conveniently.

Yes, I imagine people who study economics would end up being a defender of the effectiveness of capitalism.

Knowledge of a situation will do that.

Because space is scary and air is a coward.

Not like my boi Neil.

He stomped on the moon.

But it doesn't have air. Duh.

Air can't leave if it's not there.

SHIT I HOPE NOT

DON'T LIGHT A MATCH!

He's a pretty good guy.

Eh, it was a little milquetoast, but it was fine for a rambling discussion, I guess.

...Of course. Because he's sane.

Reeee

Elon Musk, what a legend.

When he was so off on anime that Twitter disabled his account because they thought it was hacked.

It's a bit off, but I suppose a double action could be considered 'self loading'.

But then, so would a single action revolver.

It would only stop being semi-automatic if you had to manually rotate the revolver after each shot.

Ah, you're right.

By definition, that's accurate. But is there a significant rate of fire difference between a semi-automatic mechanism and tying the reloading to a trigger pull?

I can't imagine it would be huge. The only drawback would be fatigue of the finger, maybe?

Mmm. Spicy.

I know what I'm getting when they institute the semi-automatic ban, then.

Mmmhmm, definitely him.

What a convenient scapegoat.

What's the evidence so far?

This nothingburger's a little undercooked, can I send it back to the kitchen?

Eh, I wouldn't worry about it.

Way to lump me into that group.

Tribalist.

Our. You're referencing me, because you're speaking to me.

The word you're looking for is their.

Their tribalism.

Or, their and my own, if you are also tribalizing and dehumanizing.

No, we as a nation are not doing that.

There might be groups *within* the nation doing that.

The military *can* gun down everyone attempting to cross the border.

It's just not politically expedient.

I mean, wouldn't be that hard.

Put a gun to his head.

Clearly it's not working, if you think they'll disobey orders.

Again, not our country, not our problem.

International aid is a gift, which we provide in large amounts, not a right.

Defeat the most powerful military in the world by being unarmed.

Easy.

Why fight, when you can just take what you want, unarmed?

If they stop you, they're in the wrong.

Pssh. We used mob violence and provoked armed military.

Then pretended like we're the wronged party.

"What I said isn't relevant to the conversation"

We'll you're a real class act.

"This thing I brought up, which wasn't relevant to the discussion, isn't the same as our current subject."

Duh.

Why's that?

I'm unaware of any evidence against this gentlemen being provided.

So far it's just that he's been arrested.

Almost like that's how the legal system works, Chip.

I would hope so.

Interesting. Do you have a link to those studies?

Just like the Colorado Balloon Guy.

Countless?

"Asking for clarification and supporting evidence for my position is a derailment".

Also, I wouldn't exactly say taking discussion tactics from Cenk Uygur is all that wise.

And yes, I don't think you'd find a lot of people arguing that a stable two person family unit is inferior or equal to a broken family unit.

Tim says this guy can

Tim says this guy is nuts because he is allegedly involved in the bomb threat, and so you can't apply logic to his actions.

I hereby allege Tim was part of the bomb threats.

Guys, you can't use logic to judge Tim anymore.

He was allegedly involved.

You are an absolute peach, Tom.

Clearly, you're willing to have a civil discussion on the issue, and have no emotional bank in the topic.

Have a nice day, Tom.

Subtle.

Not anymore!

Available information is suggesting he's probably not a Democrat.

Some of the packages do have postage.

That is the current conundrum.

Also, as little respect as I have for the post office, I think they can find a bomb in the mail.

Especially a comically obvious pipe bomb.

Nazis are not an active party anymore.

The Romans wouldn't have liked that ,but we didn't mention them either.

Yes. On phone.

Why?

I agree. Nations should pay for their own defense.
