Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

Word. I googled LEOSA but had never heard of that until you mentioned it. Not legally speaking, but from a practical real world sense I see no real difference between retired LEO and an LTC holder. They are both private individuals that have had extensive background checks and both have passed at least minimal standards for firearm competency.

The latest is the State AG Ken Paxton is threatening legal action citing that Texas law states LTC holders cannot be restricted from carrying on government owned property except in specific named exempt places as outlined in the penal code. State Fair of Texas says they are exempt as a non profit leasing the government owned property pointing to some other legislation. I dunno…not a lawyer and we’ll see how that plays out.

Practically the change is just dumb. LTC holders weren’t causing the problem (the shooting last year a thug snuck in a gun and one of the charges was illegal possession of a firearm) and it’s never been an issue having LTC holders carry. For safety reasons beyond the principle of this matter, I and many others won’t go if they stick to this change. Fair Park is in the hood and people from all walks of life attend the State Fair.

I’ll let it go. Will update if the State Fair is legally defeated or do decide to change their policy.

The difference is, LEOSA is a Federal Law and LTC varies by state, with some being will issue and some being may issue.

I knew a few people in California that became reserve deputies in one of the counties specifically so they could concealed carry, because that license is a pain in the ass to get there.

So, Kamala Harris unveiled her only economic proposal that she has come up with so far (not counting the "No taxing tips" she stole from Trump) and it's socialism at its finest: Price controls on food.

I can't wait for the debate and I hope Trump hammers the fuck out of her on this.

Yep. Her genius plan is to trade high prices at the grocery store for long lines & shortages. Also, Kamala promising to reduce the cost of food is like when OJ Simpson promised to find the “real” killer…

Now we'll find out if crypto is really shaft's single voter issue like he claimed a couple years ago.

Though considering that he's a pathological liar on top of being a mentally ill chronically unhinged loser, I expect his TDS to come before anything and everything else.

Trump's plane is in the shop. He's borrowing Jeffrey Epstein's plane.

Former President Donald Trump and his campaign broke one of the most obvious unwritten rules of electioneering: never do anything to remind voters of your previous, yet-to-be-fully-explained relationship with one of the world’s most notorious child molesters.

Nonetheless, the Trump campaign says it has a perfectly good reason the candidate recently used a plane previously owned by the late Jeffrey Epstein to get to various campaign stops, as the Miami Herald reported.

Trump is using fake AI generated content to claim that Taylor Swift endorsed him..

Donald Trump appears to have falsely implied he has Taylor Swift's endorsement, posting fake images on social media of the singer and her fans supporting him.

The Republican presidential candidate posted the massage "I accept!" alongside the images, which were taken from other social media accounts. Many appear to have been created using artificial intelligence.

The post sparked a backlash among Swift's fans, known as Swifties, who accused Trump of spreading misinformation.

Meanwhile Democrats are making it legal to knowingly give someone AIDs...

TLDR: No longer criminal to NOT disclose the fact you have AIDS before having sex with someone. Because... you know... it might hurt their feelings if someone doesn't want to sleep with someone with AIDS... and having that knowledge before fucking, would only hurt the person with AIDS feelings.

Oh BTW, the most important thing they care about... killing babies and making sure you don't have any future ones.

"Planned Parenthood offers free abortions, vasectomies at mobile clinic near DNC to ‘show what is possible’"

Literally a death cult.

Sounds like a self correcting problem.

What state? Because the majority of states, it is illegally to knowingly transmit any STD. Most states don't require one to say which STD they have, and some have specific laws against HIV/AIDS in general. If it is a state that is dropping the specific law on AIDS but stiff has the knowing infection with STD law, it isn't a big change and is still illegal.
