jordanlund,

& is how & is represented in HTML.

If you need a literal &, then preceed it with an escape character like “\”.

jordanlund,

As a cat owner, this doesn’t even look like a real print. It’s too deep. Most likely a manufactured print done as a gag by whoever made the bricks.

jordanlund,

“No one has the right to talk to a child about sexuality unless it’s the parent, or the parent has given permission,”

First, that’s patently bullshit.

Second, what does Fred Finger or his sexuality have to do with the creation of Batman? I don’t see the need to bring up Bill Finger’s kid at all, regardless of orientation.

Fred Finger was born Dec. 26, 1948. Nine years after Batman was introduced. 5 years after Batman first appeared on film.

It’s a tragic story:

Nothing to do with the creation of Batman.

Still no plan for the fenced off parking lot by the movie theater I see…

Jimmy Carter’s Final Chapter: Peanut Butter Ice Cream and His 99th Birthday (www.nytimes.com)

Maybe it’s the peanut butter ice cream he still enjoys. Or the fact that his first-place Atlanta Braves are cruising toward the playoffs and he wants to see another World Series. Or as many of his loved ones and former advisers suggest, maybe he is just too stubborn to follow anyone else’s timetable....

jordanlund,

I find this fascinating… most people get kicked out of hospice care if they survive in it 6 months.

Average survival is 3 weeks.

suncrestcare.com/how-long-does-the-average-hospic…

Carter has been in hospice since February 18th. 7 months and counting!

jordanlund,

“Kicked out” may have been too strong a phrase, but Medicare stops paying after 6 months. I guess if you keep paying yourself…

www.medicare.gov/…/how-hospice-works

“Hospice care is for people with a life expectancy of 6 months or less (if the illness runs its normal course). If you live longer than 6 months, you can still get hospice care, as long as the hospice medical director or other hospice doctor recertifies that you’re terminally ill.

You can get hospice care for two 90-day benefit periods, followed by an unlimited number of 60-day benefit periods.

You have the right to change your hospice provider once during each benefit period.

At the start of the first 90-day benefit period, your hospice doctor and your regular doctor (if you have one) must certify that you’re terminally ill (with a life expectancy of 6 months or less). At the start of each benefit period after the first 90-day period, the hospice medical director or other hospice doctor must recertify that you’re terminally ill, so you can continue to get hospice care.”

if you voted for Trump, you go out of your way to prove what an ignorant asshole you are, all day long, every day

jordanlund,

“He doesn’t know anything! He’s just like me!”

Fits Trump and all the candidates since the Tea Party.

jordanlund,

Shouldn’t this result in more charges for obstruction and another RICO case if any Representatives go along with it?

jordanlund,

Doesn’t really get into the features or why I would want one. :(

jordanlund,

“you can finally find the elevator to the Well without a quest arrow.”

Land at the Spaceport.

Go to the mercantile:

Around the corner to the right is an elevator to the Well.

jordanlund,

Fortunately here there are only 2 paths to Washington and you pretty much have to do either intentionally.

I-5 gets backed up so you sit in traffic for 20-30 minutes before you hit the final exit in Oregon.

I-205 has the exit to the airport before you’re on the bridge to WA so it’s kind of hard to miss.

jordanlund,

I agree, but what’s the alternative?

jordanlund,

The Supreme Court specifically addressed that in 2016 in my favorite one of these cases because it didn’t initially seem to involve firearms:

Caetano v. Massachusetts - 2016
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caetano_v._Massachusetts

Woman was being threatened by an abusive ex and bought a taser for protection.

MA charged her saying that tasers didn’t exist at the time of the 2nd amendment, so she had no right to own one.

Enter the court:

“the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding” and that “the Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the States”.[6] The term “bearable arms” was defined in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) and includes any “”[w]eapo[n] of offence" or “thing that a man wears for his defence, or takes into his hands,” that is “carr[ied] . . . for the purpose of offensive or defensive action.” 554 U. S., at 581, 584 (internal quotation marks omitted)."[10]

Anything you take into your hands for defense is allowed under the 2nd amendment. So, no, you don’t have the right to a cruise missile or a tactical nuke, but if you can carry it, it’s yours.

jordanlund,

Gas is banned by the Geneva convention, so no. Grenades are classified as “destructive devices”, so no.

Automatic weapons are fully allowed so long as you’re willing to do the paperwork and pay the tax. It’s not an easy process, and it’s SUPER expensive, but it can be done.

jordanlund,

Not according to the Supreme Court and they are the ones who decide this stuff:

McDonald vs. City of Chicago - 2010
en.m.wikipedia.org/…/McDonald_v._City_of_Chicago

"the second amendment right recognized in Heller is fully applicable to the states through the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment. In so holding, the Court reiterated that “the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense” (id. at ___, 130 S. Ct. at 3026); that “individual self-defense is ‘the central component’ of the Second Amendment right”

jordanlund,

That’s the job of the Supreme Court, I’m sorry you disagree, but that doesn’t change the fact of the matter.

It could change if the court were to swing the other way, but it’s only been getting more conservative in my lifetime, not less.

jordanlund,

They can’t be implemented because the Supreme Court has already made multiple key rulings o the topic since 2008 and have a few more in their case load for this year and next. It’s not going to get better, it will only get worse from here on out.

jordanlund,

And intentionally so. :)

jordanlund,

LOL - try that in court and see how far you get. “I don’t need a lawyer, man, laws aren’t real…”

jordanlund,

Those fall under “destructive devices”, and with the exception of grenades aren’t “bearable” arms as defined by the court.

jordanlund,

Oh, yeah, but as the court veers more conservative, that’s not going to change any time soon.

Maybe once Thomas and Alito are gone, assuming that happens under a Democratic President and they don’t have their picks blockaded the way McConnell did to Merrick Garland.

jordanlund,

It’s going to be interesting to see the lawyers challenge that for Hunter Biden’s coke habit.

slate.com/…/hunter-biden-second-amendment-legal-d…

jordanlund,

Agreed nothing is off the table, but the court has only turned more conservative, not less. So turnimg it back around may take another 50 years or more.

jordanlund,

Beto O’Rourke is probably the most notable:

youtu.be/lMVhL6OOuR0

Biden too:

joebiden.com/gunsafety/

Which has since been taken offline and now has the best 404 ever… CNN archived parts of it here:

cnn.com/…/factcheck_b584f336-923d-49d9-98c5-d8288…

“Along with banning the “manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines,” Biden’s plan includes mandating that people who own assault weapons either sell theirs to the federal government or properly register them with the authorities.”
