This is the fundamental problem with gun regulation at the state level – they can be effectively abrogated by neighboring states with more lax regulation. FiveThirtyEight did a piece on this a while ago. In that article they show how strict gun laws in Illinois, California, and Maryland are defeated by guns flowing in from the surrounding states with more lax laws. The vast majority of gun crime is committed with guns which are illegally possessed, but were initially obtained through legal means.
Donald Trump‘s inner circle doesn’t expect the Supreme Court to go along with his extreme arguments about executive power in the immunity case before the justices. But what the high court does now is almost beside the point: Trump already won....
You can always bail. I did. That JD is wildly useful in other industries. Over a third of the people I’m still in contact with from my graduating class aren’t actively practicing anymore.
Googling around, I’ve seen a lot of users and journos claiming they are a jewish stereotype. I struggled to even compare them to what HP did. And as a partially jew, I’m really jealous of qualities these bigots paint and the thinking process Quark put to work. He’s probably my favorite character of the whole franchise.

This week, the Supreme Court sided with federal agents to remove razor wire put in place by Texas along the Rio Grande. The state is using wire and state agents to block Border Patrol from accessing a section of the border in Eagle Pass. Homeland Security is demanding access to the area by Friday, but Gov. Greg Abbott is...
The troops are already there – the President can federalize the Texas National Guard and give us a look a what a modern-day Little Rock High School looks like. Garland should be seeking an arrest warrant against Abbott for insurrection, as well.
Although, it’s a terrible look for Biden and the DNC
It’s really not, not at all. IA and NH are in no way representative of the country at large or key groups to the Democratic coalition. This is a great move that should have taken place a long time ago.

You say that like there’s a single system in the history of the world which doesn’t. Capitalism isn’t novel with regard to humans taking advantage of one another.
Tom Clancy’s The Sum of All Fears starts out with a negotiated shared-rule agreement over Jerusalem and a related negotiated peace for the surrounding area. I’m not saying it’s a good idea or even a real-world workable solution, I’m just saying we haven’t done Jack Ryan’s idea where Swiss Guard police the holy land.

That’s an incredibly myopic view. All of society benefits from well-educated, healthy, and cared-for citizens. Which is to say nothing of the value created for the society and you individually when others are able to join the workforce, pursue an education, or indulge a creative vision because they are able to contribute to the greater whole around them. I’m going to be charitable and just assume that you have no real knowledge on the economics or policy concerns involved with the subject and aren’t just some chud who wants women shackled to the kitchen appliances and marginalized groups condemned to a cycle of poverty and imprisonment.

I see you’re firmly in the “This guy isn’t giving me exactly everything I want so he’s shit!” camp. Cool.
Biden has quietly been the most leftist President in the country’s history, the most effective climate change President in the country’s history, and the most outspoken in support of historically marginalized communities.
He’s not perfect, but guess what no one is. And it turns out that enacting policy in line with the will of 80 million voters isn’t limited in scope to just what you’d like the President to do.
