Nobody made him, he did on his own, because unlike Trump he has principals.

Yea, I always get a kick out of the “I need a gun to protect me from the gubberment” type.
It’s like, “Oh, you mean the same government you’ve been electing people to which spends billions upon billions of dollars to have the most powerful military in the world?”.
What is that little peashooter going to do against a Predator Drone?

Well you see what you do is you use that pea shooter by hiding in the woods and disabling a tanks treads, and when the driver comes out you shoot him in the head. With the tank this disabled you slowly clean up the rest of the crew with the rest of the convoy trapped. You then recite some out of context stuff from Thomas Jefferson, invoking the powers of our Civic Faith to shield yourself from the predator drone and survive its attacks like Captain America before retreating to your foxhole to masturbate to freedom while screaming it about not being free.

Or you use an IED capable of blowing it up made out of 2 things found on nearly any farm. Drones and fighter jets can’t go door to door. And that’s assuming the military would follow orders to kill fellow Americans including members of their own families. Or other countries wouldn’t step in for human rights atrocities as the result of bombing civilians.

The Civil War involved many families tearing themselves apart on the battlefield.
And history is replete with instances of “just following orders”.
In fact, did you know that in order to serve on something like an Ohio-Class sub, the ones that can launch a nuke, you are asked a series of questions which include variations on-
“If your mother was an enemy spy, would you kill her?”
“Would you, if lawfully ordered, launch a nuclear strike that could kill US civilians”
Compliance and obedience is a well studied area.

I like it, I point out an instance of the army attacking civilians as an instance it can happen and you brush it off like it means nothing. Meanwhile the military even today has engaged in extra-judicial killings of American civilians. And throughout history the Battle of Blaire Mountain is far from the only engagement. The army has been used to shoot to kill civilians in every labor engagement since the end of the Civil War with big episodes being like those of Blaire Mountain or the Pullman Strike. The Army has suppressed southern civilians in Reconstruction because they were Klansmen, and up to the contemporary period the army has shot protestors at Kent, Ohio and random acts of mayhem to quell riots including blowing up a little girl in Detroit with a fucking tank. Likewise, military inaction has permitted the deaths of many.
The army ain’t sacred. It’ll enforce the state and its rules no matter whose doing what. And maybe there’s a contingent who won’t. But they’ll come down on anything like at Waco.

Ignoring the “families” (and friends) part I see. And a few thousand (in what was an actual nefarious action) vs millions in what would be government tyranny? Yeah no.

A new poll out of Scotland shows that if British Trump becomes prime minister then the Scottish people would be significantly more likely to vote to leave the UK.

Nah. Trump is too much of a spineless simpleton to dictate anything to anyone that isn’t already hanging off his dick to keep themselves alive in the GOP rat race. Trump will listen to anything Boris says and pretend it’s a great idea from his very great friend.

Trump threatens to arrest reporter who snapped a photo of his love letter to Kim Jong Un. A letter he was aready waving in front of them anyway.
And he did it in the most sassy black woman way possible.

I just watched the BBC’s documentary on China’s “Training Centers.” Hmmm….
According to this link right here, https://ourworldindata.org/terrorism
China’s suffered an amazingly low number of terrorism related incidents since 2107: a mere six incidents. For a country with a shit ton of ppl living in undesirable conditions, you’d expect ppl to be upset all the time and try to do something radical to change their situations, wouldn’t you? But no. China is apparently, safe as fuck.
in comparison to 65 in the USA, and 900+ in India. What does this tell me? That China is good at handling terrorists?
Well yeah…but they do it by grabbing ppl preemptively and make them disappear before they even think of doing anything. At this point China probably believes that it has the capability to predict with enough accuracy to warrant you arrest for crimes you didn’t do–nay, WILL NOT do.
Does it work? Yes. But that’s like…come on, man. I wouldn’t be surprised if one day, China will decide that “since crimes are done by the living, therefore life itself is a crime.”

I think Hannity might want to stop airing his hit pieces with actual video/audio of the Democratic candidates. Much like with AOC all it did was make him look like a buffoon.
Like, just now he aired a 2 minute segment of the various Democratic candidates all offering various positions about taxing the rich, breaking up the big banks, Medicare For All, stopping the endless wars, Civil Rights, protecting the environment, etc. And Hannity’s response to all this was a derped “Um um um-OH! SOCIALISM!”
Oh and Trump finally “revealed” his campaign healthcare plan…such as it is. All he did was say he was gonna lower the prices and raise the quality, but he can’t get into details until after the election. Yeah.
