No one should own guns. Ever. The government should have all the guns.

Can't tell if you're trying to be sarcastic or just stupid.

If just stupid, nice avatar.

You of all people should never own guns. Ever. You can't even handle reputation properly.

There are other mental illnesses right?

No, just schizophrenia and it's caused by injecting thc.

No one should own guns. Ever. The government should have all the guns.

So you want Trump to confiscate your guns even though he’s the most super duper most evilestest literally Hitler dictator ever so he can take over the world and have all non-white people executed, which every cop ever will undoubtedly take great delight in, that much easier?

[Neveragain]

Am I legal now?

No.

Sorry kid, I've owned guns since I was 16.

Also, I already knew you were just stupid.. I was just giving you an out.

Immigrants who accept almost any form of welfare or public benefit, even popular tax deductions, could be denied legal U.S. residency under a proposal awaiting approval by the Trump administration, which is seeking to reduce the number of foreigners living in the United States.

Current rules penalize immigrants who receive cash welfare payments, considering them a “public charge.” But the proposed changes from the Department of Homeland Security would widen the government’s definition of benefits to include the widely used Earned Income Tax Credit as well as health insurance subsidies and other “non-cash public benefits.”

The changes would apply to those seeking immigration visas, or legal permanent residency, such as a foreigner with an expiring work visa. While it would make little difference to those living illegally in the shadows, it could affect immigrants protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program — whose termination has been blocked by federal courts — if they attempt to file for full legal residency.

What in the holy hell. The culture wars have been heating up bad lately. Talking heads admitting that we need to keep out foreigners because they change the culture, others claiming devotion to trump because he protects the culture, we have adults posting anti-bullying videos of a black kid beating a white kid (natch), same adults posting memes making fun of the physical appearance of the parkland kids and continuous attacks on immigration (legal or not). My hope is that one of the finally goes too far, starts dropping N-Bombs all over CNN and we'll finally lift the veil on all the codeword dog whistling.

Alien and Sedition Acts, Know Nothings, Lodge, Reagan... now we're here again, led by a German with a Slavic wife. And 50/60 years from now it'll happen again, as impotently as ever. Some people just never learn.

(CNN) A resolution condemning neo-Nazis and white nationalists died once again in the Tennessee legislature this week, the second time such a bill failed to pass the state house in the past few weeks.

The resolution would have had the state legislature "strongly denounce and oppose the totalitarian impulses, violent terrorism, xenophobic biases, and bigoted ideologies that are promoted by white nationalists and neo-Nazis," according to the bill's text.

But its author, House Republican Caucus chair Ryan Williams, withdrew it from consideration after receiving feedback from Republican lawmakers.

This should be a no brainer.

[Jeril]

This should be a no brainer.

It should be such a no brainer that making a resolution for it is a waste of time and money. Seems like those clowns have too much free time on their hands.
