@RobPeffer @DanHollaway @peterboghossian Never said anything about right, just is. Not sure about your lawful but not moral scenario. I can think of things that were lawful in the past that weren't moral. Are you suggesting that if a cop is enforcing a law you disagree with, that you have the right to shoot them?

@RobB916 @DanHollaway @peterboghossian Having a right doesn’t make an action right. In your earlier comment you mixed the two. Think about if someone saw a cop lawfully pull their gun but morally it was wrong. Can they do anything about that? Imagine the I Shot The Sheriff scenario from Bob Dylan.

There is a reason we have a legal system that gives the state a monopoly on violence. The moment we cede this, or make exceptions for the most foul of crimes, we descend into anarchy, tribalism, and barbarism. What might could convince right leaning accounts of this? Somalia.

@RobB916 @peterboghossian It literally doesn’t. The 2nd amendment was intended specially to prohibit a state monopoly on violence. This is unconstitutional nonsense.

@RobPeffer @DanHollaway @peterboghossian Your missing the point. Its not saying that no one else can be violent. Its at its bases is that when there is conflict the right to use violence falls to the state. Think about it like if someone saw a cop lawfully pull his gun then they pulled theirs and shot him.

@gumper23 @DonutOperator For this. When you brown the sausage the flour you add is enough to absorb the grease in the pan. Then when adding milk, the gravy will thicken as you stir it over heat. You add more milk to make it as liquidity as you want. But to get you started it's something like /1

Japanese bros keep posting about sausage gravy so here’s the easiest classic recipe. It’s only 4 ingredients: - country sausage - flour - milk - pepper Brown the sausage, don’t drain. Pour flower over sausage and stir until grease is absorbed. Pour milk over sausage. Season with black pepper. Cook for a couple minutes and add more milk until desired thickness. Easy day.

@DanHollaway @peterboghossian It literally does. Not sure if you understand what is meant by that phrase though. It's just saying in a violent conflict, the default is to the state is right. Think of when a person pulls a weapon on an officer. By law, the officer has the right to use violence.

@peterboghossian The state doesn’t have a monopoly on violence. That’s a silly thing to say.

@peterboghossian When judges release violent persons into the streets and put the innocent at risk. This is the result. The next step of this if it's not fixed, is when they start going after the judges and the people that support putting these people on the streets. Not saying it's good, just is

@KrittRTV @ThisGuyHookah @CREWcrew How much are you willing to wager that no one is illegally voting? Or can make it more confined if you want in that no one illegally in the country is voting?

There's a real difference between debating policy and dehumanizing people. I share concerns about birthright citizenship and its incentives, but I have zero common ground with this vitriol. Demonizing U.S.-born children by claiming they're out to "seize your children's inheritance" is paranoid & hateful rhetoric. It cannot and should not be normalized.
Stephen Miller@StephenM

Birthright citizenship means the children of illegal aliens can vote to tax your children and seize their inheritance.

@BillMelugin_ Bullshit. Israelis call anyone who prays 5x a day a terrorist … and even if he threw Molotov cocktails at the homes of the IOF, who gives a fuck?

BREAKING: DHS confirms ICE arrested Salah Sarsour today, the president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee. DHS says he is a terrorist, a Jordanian national who was convicted of throwing Molotov cocktails at the homes of Israeli soldiers, then lied on his U.S. immigration applications and got a green card under President Clinton.
Homeland Security@DHSgov

Today, @ICEgov arrested a Jordanian national with a prior conviction for THROWING A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL at the homes of Israeli Forces. He lied on his immigration application and became a green card holder under President Clinton. This terrorist will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.

@ToerpeZwerg @HansMahncke That's insane. That's like saying to reduce crime you should just pay the criminals not to commit crimes.

@RobB916 @HansMahncke By providing command structures, ensuring interoperability standards, simplified access to local resources, legitimizing US bases (which save tons of money), guaranteed access to political leaders, dimpolatic networks, exchanging military intelligence.

To be honest, the biggest justification for funding NATO was always sentimental, with Europe being the cradle of Western civilization and the origin of many ancestors. But Europe has spent decades undermining that heritage, leaving only one tangible benefit, which is the use of military bases. One could debate whether that alone makes NATO worth the cost, but at least it was something real. But now they’ve taken that away as well, so there is absolutely no reason left to continue supporting NATO.
Rod D. Martin@RodDMartin

Can anyone explain what the U.S. loses by not subsidizing Europe's defense any longer? I can sure explain what Europe loses, but they are blinded by entitlement.

アメリカ人に聞きたいんだけど、 アメリカの一人当たりGDPは日本の2.6倍もあるのに、 なんでそんなに生活が苦しい人が多いの? 高所得の人がたくさんいるんだから、再分配を少し強化するだけで、貧しい人たちの生活はぐっと楽になると思うけど、なんで再分配を強化しないの? ちなみに、再分配を強化するのは社会主義でも共産主義でもないよ。 それは修正資本主義。君たちの大好きな資本主義を、ほんのちょっと修正しただけのものだよ。

@sageoccult49 @NumberCrun77 @fromdusktildawn If you gave everyone $1 million and somehow didn't cause hyper inflation. Within 5-10 years everyone would be back in the same place. It's not as simple as "give them more money". In the USA if you are broke it's you. Or you had some event that was out of your control.

@NumberCrun77 @fromdusktildawn Or if we had more equal wealth distribution, if the poors had access to capital, maybe they could also invest so they and their descendants wouldn't live hand to mouth at the mercy of a capricious system that rewards elite families and punishes hard work?

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet. The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy. There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one. That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure. 📸 credit: me for @SuperclusterHQ - Artemis II pad remote | ~1,000 ft from Pad 39B | Kennedy Space Center

@HansMahncke NATO saves the US tons of money. NATO secures the US tons of defence contracts. NATO is by far the most important tool in global power projection. NATO is the backbone of US hegemony. Trumps wants it gone because he wants three spheres of influence for USA, China and Russia.

Are you serious? That’s exactly the problem — there’s a persistent illusion that Europe is somehow militarily dependent on the US in a way that isn’t grounded in reality. Across most categories, European armed forces rely on US systems for maybe 10–20% of their equipment — and even that is often driven more by political alignment and interoperability than actual necessity. Yes, in fighter jets the share is higher, closer to ~40%, but again that’s largely political. Europe already produces advanced alternatives like the Rafale, Eurofighter, and Gripen, and can scale those quickly if needed. In fact it is already preparign it! — especially while developing its next-generation programs. The idea that Europe “can’t function” militarily without the US simply doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.
