  1. We have a pistol safe in my night stand next to the bed, but all of our other guns are unloaded, and (when possible) partially disassembled, sitting inside a locked gun safe. We also regularly go shooting with our daughter. If you are going to have weapons in the house, everyone should know how to use them safely. Never teaching kids gun safety if you keep guns in the house is a recipe for disaster.
  2. I got valley fever back in 2013 when we lived in Arizona. It was not fun. I though I was going to die at one point, and had symptoms of a heart attack, the flu, and I had small blisters break out all over my body.
  3. Testimony and evidence from the trial indicated that the gun was in Wisconsin the entire time at his friends house. I could potentially see a federal straw purchase charge coming against Rittenhouse, but that's about it. If convicted, that would mean up to 10 years in federal prison.
  4. This very well could lead to unrest or further shootings, I agree with everyone here. But the jury interpreted the law correctly today in my opinion. We shouldn't make sacrificial lambs of people because we are afraid of the potential outcomes. If the law is wrong, fix the law.
  5. Now, let's turn our attention to some people who should absolutely get fucked:
  6. This was the right verdict given the evidence. Doesn't change the fact that Rittenhouse shouldn't have been there that night - BUT NEITHER SHOULD HAVE ANY OF THE PEOPLE HE KILLED.
  7. A billionaire tax is likely unconstitutional and is a waste of time for progressives to keep fretting over. If you want additional revenue, there are better ways of getting it from the ultra rich than attempting to tax wealth or unrealized gains.
  8. Also, it's important to point out that Biden likely spent most of the day on the toilet yesterday instead of running the country! How can a president effectively run the country if they are on the shitter all the time??
  9. I'm pretty sure I woke up during a colonoscopy a few years back. It wasn't a pleasant experience. Which reminds me, I need to schedule another one.
  10. Price Charles is pretty old too. I wouldn't be surprised if he dies or abdicates the throne in the next 20 years, making his dorky son the king.
  11. What do you think about using these in bike lanes @Jason?
  12. Too late. In the settlement, dayonepatch.com will transfer ownership to Rittenhouse, along with $50 gift card to Target.
  13. If we want European levels of social programs, we are going to need European levels of taxation - which can't be accomplished with just taxing billionaires. You'll need a sharp increase in tax rates for pretty much every tax bracket, and maybe even something like a VAT.
  14. The jury starts their deliberations today. Any guess how long they'll be deliberating? My guess is that they will reach a verdict by the end of the day.
