These are all good points and really I think the time has come to end the NFA completely. What you have now is a system that allows those with the time and money, to possess technology that is more efficient, portable, safer, and more effective. As US society becomes less safe for marginalized […]

If we ever get out of this nightmare we'll know because being an ICE officer or in ICE leadership will be just as de facto prosecutable as having served in the SS, and their prosecution will seem in retrospect just as necessary, and for many of the same reasons.

A hard (very hard) pill to swallow for the Democratic Party is: 1) Hillary Clinton should never have been the nominee. 2) Joe Biden should never have been the President. The 1st political violence was not the storming of the capitol. It was during the Nevada Caucuses, when a room full of […]
