Nice strawman. I don't think we should increase funding to the FBI. A more adult statement than "defund the FBI." Would be something along the lines of phase out the FBI. Let the other agencies within the Department of Justice absorb it. Agencies such as the ATF, DEA, US Marshals, and Interpol Washington. Then I open the door to the question: are any of those agencies necessary?

The use of that word does not flow well in that sentence structure, but unserious is actually a word. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/unserious

Crenshaw once again being a voice of reason. "I'm impressed Democrats finally got us to say, 'Defund the FBI,'" Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) told Axios. "That makes you look unserious, when you start talking like that." https://www.axios.com/2022/08/13/cracks-emerge-in-gops-mar-a-lago-response

Not worth debating? This is a great thread with a good banter going back and forth. The only people I will mock are Q supporters. As far as leading people astray. How? Most people on here know more than me. I have around five hundred post in ten and a half years. Most of the regular users have post counts in the tens of thousands. Also if I can lead someone astray playing devil's advocate. They deserve to be led astray.

Crenshaw trying to help people. Article about his psychedelic research amendment. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-congressman-is-hopeful-his-psychedelic-research-amendment-can-pass-the-senate/

Satire? They are sending money to the Ukraine. They are their brother's keeper. Isn't that a good thing?

I don't have an answer on who does the background checks. The Sullivan Act, I don't know move to another state. As far as who conducts training classes? How about your local shooting club.

Why must we resort to name calling? When that happens you have conseded.

They are nothing a like. Crenshaw has been in office since 2019 and Graham since the 90's. Crenshaw is a large than life character with some personality unlike the charisma vacuum known as Lindsey Graham.

I'm here because I like Ron Paul. He is a based charismatic guy. His policies were always secondary to me.

The Episcopal Church is still doing some good things. Her is a link to a story where they raised over $131,000 to send to the Ukraine. https://www.thenewsherald.com/2022/08/10/wyandotte-youth-group-among-episcopal-churches-raising-over-131000-for-ukraine/

Dan Crenshaw spitting facts on Fox and Friends.

Dick Cheney talking bad about Trump. How dare him after Trump called Cheney a "great guy." https://www.newsweek.com/trump-calls-dick-cheney-great-guy-video-resurfaced-after-coward-ad-1731540

Crenshaw is way more likeable than Cheney.

I've started listening to Dan Crenshaw's podcast Hold These Truths. The guy is actually based and I enjoy listening.

How? He voted against the assualt weapons ban. As far as him being a globalist how is he any worse than other members of congress? Heritage Action for America gave him a score of 93% for this session. The average house Republican has a score of 90%. https://heritageaction.com/scorecard/members/C001120/

What are you the grammar police? Seriously this thread needs to get back on track talking about Dan Crenshaw. Crenshaw voted no to H.R. 1808-Assualt Weapons Ban of 2022. How is this a bad thing if you are pro second amendment? Give credit where credit is due.

Good information? Q is controlled opposition that has almost single handedly destroyed the truth movement. Q is the ultimate boomer copium.

This from the guy who started the Qanon thread in the Hot Topics subforum.

Like him or hate him at least Crenshaw is trying to do something regarding the border crisis. https://crenshaw.house.gov/2022/7/crenshaw-introduces-the-flores-settlement-update-and-establishment-act-of-2022

Hey I'll take my Grom over pretty much any bike except a Supermoto. Grom weighs less than 230lbs. Parts are cheap, it is easy to mod, easy to pick up, and I've gotten 125 mpg when I drive conservatively. Normally I get around 100 mpg. So yeah have fun on your cruiser style bike.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Llw-ZPdGSms Can you do this with a scooter?

Goldwing no thanks. Who would want an 800lb bike that cost over 20k? Good luck going anywhere other than pavement. Also for years a number of Honda's bikes have been manufactured in Thailand. My bike (Grom) was made there. The CB and Cbr series are made there as well. And the point that electric motorcycles aren't real motorcycles nice try. You release electric motors have more torque right? My Grom one of the easier bikes to stunt on makes a little less than 10HP and 8 foot pounds of torque. The ultimate meme bike the Turbo Hayabusa makes around 150 foot pounds of torque. Now get read the Verge Ts an electric motorcycle makes 737 foot pounds of torque.

Okay I have to be honest I don't really support Dan Crenshaw. I'm not trolling I playing devil's advocate here to get a dialogue going. If you go to Dan Crenshaw's wikipedia page and look at his political positions they pretty much mirror Donald Trump's, but Crenshaw is a bit more hawkish. Yet Trump gets a free pass and is even praised? My congressman is Adrian Smith (Nebraska 3rd District). He voted yes on S. 3522 Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022. He also yes on HR 7081 Ukraine Comprehensive Debt Payment Relief Act of 2022. Crenshaw also voted yes on both of these. Yet Crenshaw gets trashed getting called names based on his physical appearance. Not a word is said about Adrian Smith or other Republicans who voted yes. I'm just tired of the double standard.

I sometimes ask myself the same question. Back in the day the discussions on this forum were more thought provoking. Now it is all about getting a zinger comment in. As far as who is paying for me to be here. Bronze membership is $20 a year. If it goes up to $25 then I'll have to have the progressive think tank I work for pay the bill.

Great discussion despite the fact that most people are disagreeing with me regarding gun control. This thread has gotten side tracked. Can we get back to talking about Dan Crenshaw and how he is or isn't a good liberty candidate?

I'm actually paying to be here. I'm a bronze member. So anyone can buy any weapon they want with no training? If you want a handgun or any rifle that is semiautomatic you should be require to have an extensive background check with a long waiting period plus some type of weapons trainig class. As far as the constitution goes I'm all for it. Everyone glosses over the "well regulated" part.

No
