That is why I have called for red flag laws, also known as extreme risk protection orders.

Although the Obama administration repeatedly concluded that particular bump stock type devices were lawful to purchase and possess, I sought further clarification of the law restricting fully automatic machine guns.

Bump stocks, we are writing that out. I am writing that out. I don’t care if Congress does it or not, I’m writing it out myself.

Obama Administration legalized bump stocks. BAD IDEA. As I promised, today the Department of Justice will issue the rule banning BUMP STOCKS with a mandated comment period. We will BAN all devices that turn legal weapons into illegal machine guns.

I like taking guns away early. Take the guns first, go through due process second.

Well, it’s the military weapons.

It doesn't make sense that I have to wait till I'm 21 to get a handgun but I can get this [AR-15].

So we’ll take a look at [a new assault weapon ban].

2. There will be no mass deportation.

I think that's a good start to a reasonable prediction.

Alot better than Biden.

Just for the immigration and climate change reversals alone, I agree.

But not nearly enough to save our country.

If you're looking for someone to come in and reverse the trend on the national deficits/debt, I just don't think it's going to happen.

You'd have to get rid of SS/Medicare. I don't mean reform it. I mean get rid of it. As in, one day you get your last SS check and there's no more coming. And your Medicare card is rejected at the Dr.'s the next time you try to use it.

And that's just not going to happen.

I think that the First World has come to the point that psychologically people simply will no longer accept not having government entitlements like that. And I think politicians know that and that's why none of them seem concerned...because they know nothing can/will be done about it.

So one of three things is going to happen:

1. Either we can just keep printing more money ad infinitum without a financial catastrophe eventually ensuing. I agree that seems unlikely.

2. Someone has a plan for when that catastrophe occurs that involves some kind of a re-set on the fiscal system that they are confident will work.

3. We're just going to go over the cliff and the country will collapse in whatever way a country collapses when it overspends like we are. I don't know what that looks like. i'm not sure anyone does.

But it's not like we're the only ones facing this. We're not even in the top five highest budget deficits in the world (we ARE in the top five nations with largest debt...we are #1, in fact, in terms of dollar amount, but Japan is number one in terms of debt to GDP ratio).

Turns out, when you have a country with a large budget burden of entitlements (like SS/Medicare in our case, other countries also have universal health care, etc), it's pretty much guaranteed that you're going to spend more than you take in. Out of 7.9 Bilion people on the planet, 3.3 Billion live in countries who spend more than they take in, and most of those are like the US. Established economies in first world countries.

Ask anybody here if they would be willing for the US to just stop funding SS/Medicare in order to pay down the debt. And keep in mind, that wouldn't mean you could stop paying the taxes. The taxes would be the money that would be used to pay down the debt. So you'd still pay your FICA, but you wouldn't get the benefits when you turned 65 (or thereabouts).

Anybody willing to do that, raise your hand.

Because that's what it would take.

I think he knew who he was hiring. How do you show people the corruption? Let the corrupt do it themselves. He had certain people around that were legit, but I def think he brought people in who he knew were corrupt and he let them hang themselves either publicly or behind closed doors. When he gets back in, it's no holds barred and the gloves will be off. Yeah yeah, conspiracy theory, but I think we've learned, every conspiracy winds up becoming reality.

This is Q level self sabotage

quote:

---

You sacrificed the future of your kids and grandchildren to a make believe deity because you were pissed off at our government.

Clearly, the better option was to continue voting for the GOPe politicians that haven't listened to their constituents in years. That would have solved all our problems.

Your emotional language aside, it's insane to keep voting for those same politicians that give in to the democrats all the time. If you aren't pissed at our government, then you don't truly care about conservative principles. If you are pissed but not willing to vote for someone who is not your typical republican politician, then you are only exacerbating the problem.

Trump is a big cat and now is aware of the rats.

He was fully unaware of them for his entire first term?

I can get pessimism pedicting the swamp will crush him regardless. but piling on that his appointments will contribute to the sabotage is just being negative.

Drink some good beer, listen to some good tunes! Lighten up, man.

Well, we have Trumps last term to look at where he *checks notes* appointed a ton of swampers when he *checks notes again* promised to drain the swamp
