Thank you for posting this. My only disagreement is categorizing people who raise legitimate concerns as "single issue voters." Any candidate has to be looked at in his/her totality and that means looking at every single issue even if you aren't going to decide on one particular issue or another. And talking about the issues in some ways is more important than talking about the candidates themselves. I'm glad RFK Jr. at least is raising the profile of the link conservatives have been drawing between psych meds and mass shootings. (I think there's also a link between teen cell phone usage and mass shooting as well). Clearly all sane Americans want something done about mass shootings, the question is what. It's just like the trade issue. Here's a simply idea everyone should be able to agree on. TikTok was banned for federal employee use for national security reasons. The next logical step would be banning federal employees from using any foreign made communications devices for the very same reasons, national security. After all if software can spy on you and report your data back to the CCP, hardware most certainly can.

Rand Paul just needs to F'ing run! Win or no win.

I decided to find out what Alex Jones said about "Operation Warp Speed" and I found this liberal attacking AJ for attacking Trump on that. And....somebody left this comment. Actually, I had QUIT listening to Alex Jones for his UNQUALIFED SUPPORTING of Trump. I can't stand Biden either, But AJ acted like Trump could do no wrong. But this makes me like AJ again. And yes the Operation Warp Speed vaccines ARE dangerous. Anybody that doesn't know that has his head up his butt. In May 2020, your precious Dr. Anthony "lab leak cover up" Fauci said the vaccines wouldn't be ready for another 18 months because they needed to be fully tested. Then 9 months later Dr. Fauci was endorsing vaccine mandates! During the 2020 presidential debates Biden and Harris said they wouldn't trust the Trump vaccines. And right after they won the election they were pushing mandates. The Democrats and their allies have been on both sides of this issue. The Democratic (at the time) controlled House of Representative released a report in 2021 on the COVID response where they compared Trump "rushing" the vaccine to his endorsements of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin! Dr. Robert Malone, the man who INVENTED the mRNA technology, said these vaccines are dangerous. Bill Gates after dumping his vaccine stock for a huge profit, said the vaccines didn't work as expected. The data is in now on excess deaths and countries with high vaccination rates have higher CONTINUING excess deaths than countries with low vaccination rates. Military women had a huge spike in miscarriages post vaccination that the military attempted to cover up by falsely claiming miscarriage was "under reported" before. And what about Damar Hamlin? Now way a football player in his prime in full pads AND NO PRE-EXISTING HEART CONDITION has a heart attack simply from making a tackle! When Michael Strayhan asked him what his doctors said about that, he said "I can't comment." It's funny that liberals love being lied to and hate Alex Jones more than they hate Trump. And no dannno. Trump didn't do "Operation Warp Speed" to get the democratic governors to agree to "open up the country." That doesn't even make sense. Fauci would have NOT agreed the vaccines were safe enough for mass distribution until Trump was out of office.

Tell that to law enforcement.

Solid point. Lot of self hatred among SJWs, especially the white ones. 1662934001307488256 1662918581330509826

I mean, this should just be common sense. However, when the adrenaline is pumping, humans will continue all sorts of things that come naturally to them. One of those things is to complete the job. If the situation hasn't reached a final resolution, the adrenaline can very easily carry it home.

Or they'll say their psychosis is caused by conservatives bullying them.

If policy states getting fired after being late 3x the employer has no grounds for firing after being late 47 times.

LOL. If its any consolation, RFK Jr. moved up in my personal rankings after Desantis said he'd repeal the First Step Act. I like Tim Scott but he's full neocon on Ukraine. I don't know enough about the Vivek character.

We're talking about two different scenarios. 1) What's legal to do right now. 2) What's practical to do in a state of full scale rebellion where everything you do against the state is technically illegal but possibly moral. Right now it's legal for someone to build a full scale working model of the "suicide drone" I linked to. The only thing that's not legal is actually arming it with a warhead. But you can legally own all of the chemical components needed to make the warhead even without a special "license" from the gubmint. This video explains what I'm talking about.

I know. And then we started talking about bans. I support a ban on products produced by victimization. (Slavery, child porn, body parts from murder victims). You don't. I get it. What I don't get is the cavalier "Don't worry about the gun rights cause they can't really take them away" bit. But....okay. Cool. But I'm not even talking about "voting" here. I'm talking about this particular comment from you. Guns ain't going anywhere in this country. It's another distraction point away from the real and underlying issues. My specific point is banning child porn, murder body parts and items produced by slavery do not limit my liberty the way banning guns (even if they can't really do it) does. That's it. It's pretty simple what I'm saying. Banning body parts from murder victims limits your liberty how exactly?

I've been thinking about this. How many fighter jets did the Taliban have? (I'm talking about before Biden screwed up the withdrawal). How about those Iraqi insurgents? The Mogadishu militias? And considering how the Russia/Ukraine war has almost entirely a drone war from the Ukraine side with the Russians also making good effect of Iranian "suicide drones" made with moped motors, is typical "air superiority" really the same advantage that it used to be? I bet bubba in Bama could whip up one of these with a welding torch.

It's not simply about whether or not they are "going anywhere." The issue is future importation and manufacture. Let's just say a new assault weapon ban went through. Yeah, I could risk becoming a a felon and buying one anyway. But why would I? I seriously don't understand why you're more concerned about your right to buy slavery produced goods than your right to buy a newly manufactured semiautomatic rifle? Seriously...I don't get it.

One of those "laws already on the books" is that you can't traffic in child porn. In other words it's a ban. Does the fact that it's "underground" make it any worse than if it was not underground? We're not talking about adult prostitution (victimless crime) or drugs (victimless crime). Snuff films are banned. Does banning snuff films make the situation worse? Please explain with specifics. And no. This is not about banning an entire country. Let's say some made up country (Epsteinistan) decides to make child prostitution and porn legal. Epsteinistan also exports coconut oil. How is the entire country of Epsteinistan banned if their one product derived from harming children is banned?

In this day and age many items are not stocked at big box stores. Maybe lawnmowers are available but maybe refrigerators not so much. It could prove to be difficult to purchase a same day refrigerator or laundry appliance. With that said, if the big box is going to order it and you have to wait, a buyer could just order themselves from the cheapest place and get it delivered to their driveway. No need for big box if there is nothing in the box.

I know you didn't ask me but...... If RFK Jr. successfully stopped importation of slave labor produced goods that would in no way limit my freedom. I could still buy those goods, they just might cost a bit more. If RFJ Jr. successfully stopped the domestic production and importation of semiautomatic rifles with magazines, that would limit my freedom. I would have a hard time buying those goods at all. Yeah I could illegally buy them but I don't want to take that risk. I could make them I suppose but I'm not that mechanically inclined. Now I hear what you're saying. RFK Jr. has said he defends the Bill of Rights. The ACLU says that too but somehow they never stand up for the 2nd amendment. And some people say they stand up for the 2nd amendment but believe there are "reasonable" exceptions.

So....are you for or against the current ban on child porn? That's a yes or no question. Child porn was legal to consume in the U.S., though not produce, until 1977. (Yeah, I looked it up to be sure). As for laws against murder, would it be okay to allow the import of body parts from murder victims? Another "yes or no" question. I'm not asking the gubmint to go into China and stop the CCP from murdering Faulun Gong practitioners. But I don't think people should say "Hey! They're getting killed anyway. I guess I can get a new heart out of the deal." Do you remember this? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5602971/Real-Bodies-Exhibition-cadavers-come-Chinese-political-prisoners.html Yeah. I'm not at all bothered by restricting someone's "freedom" to fund the CCP murder of political prisoners because he thinks it's cool to look at corpses.
