“ Those payments to women were unseemly. That doesn’t mean they were illegal” by Bradly Smith on The Washington Post

This former Chairman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) points out that Cohens, facing life in prison, saved himself with that guilty plea after becoming the target of prosecutors with political motives. His plea doesn’t in of itself prove anything. He goes on to explain that even if you were to stretch and contort this law out of its normal bounds, it would likely result in only a fine, and could have unintended consequences.

Probably cause they are

Joking aside

Nah, probably comes from the fact that the general view of gamers? Gamers like to shit on cod fanboys

One thing to note: ceddit is amazing.

Use it.

But it only captures removed comments.

Or FPS players in general

The real manipulations, you will never hear about.

Or find out.

The strategy is to force your opposition into being totally mute and/or self-censoring.

And the left is getting exceedingly good at it.

Tell us something we dont already know

Sarcasm aside

Well, they have decades of experience.

Sure. But it's not true that you will know if a conversation on Reddit is being manipulated.

And well.. its getting harder to justify tough love these days

And it's almost certain there is censorship you do not see.

My point being that you can tell if there is censorship

was a handgun confirmed

But only very obvious ones being removed comments

Of course, they want to ban ARs

I bet they think AR stands for assault rifle

@Jewknows which limits the immediate value to Everytown. But they'll still be pushing this.

the bigger point is that they dont know what laws already exist

See, that's the thing. They don't have to.

Usualyl I reply, why not enforce what we got

Competence is not a requirement in Politics.

But they think making a law suddenly makes it less likely to happen

The goal is to get favorable terrain and then exploit it.

Oh im sorry I didnt realize shooting someone with a stolen firearm was illegal

Bloomberg will draft something he likes and call it "common sense"

And he'll know enough to make sure he's confiscating something.

Or making it harder.

Or eliminating his ideological opposition.

And by seeding the ground properly beforehand, he helps stop the blowback.

And plays the long game over time.

That's the thing people don't realize. Most politics is not decided by competent arguments.

If anything, it's more emotion than anything.

And people need to quit deluding themselves otherwise.
