He would probably be more useful than nunnehi in the COVID thread and more infuriating outside of it. My guess is that regs on this site would disagree about the desirability of that.

True freedom is TERRIFYING for the vast majority of Americans. It means no social construct like employment, infrastructure, Healthcare, etc. Itās every man/woman/child out for themselves. Itās also why they are hellbent on protecting the 2nd amendment. Itās this feeble idea that if someone comes after you, you can protect yourself.

Itās basically a cosplay from watching too many Terminator movies or whatever. Everyone of these idiots thinks they are Charles Bronson. I know a dude that has a pretty large collection of semi auto rifles, modern shotguns, and handguns with tactical attachments.
Me: The fuck u gonna do with all this?
Him: [Something about Obama tanks.]
Me: Youāre gonna hold off an M1 Abrams with an M4 carbine here from your garage? Iād be getting the fuck out of here.
Him: [Pausing] Hmm, yeah I never really thought about it that way.
Iāve found that you can work them a bit by pretending to be part of the fantasy. So Iāll play along and acknowledge that, yes, in fact I am fully aware that the Obama tanks are coming. Now what are we gonna do about it? Iām not shooting at them with anything in this cabinet of killing machines because weāre all gonna die with that strategy. And the response I get from that usually is a nod and a look of dejection like, yeah man, youāre right we really canāt beat these Obama tanks.
Everybodyās a tough guy until the shit actually goes down and then you have the open carry idiots hiding in a Claireās Boutique when the active shooter opens fire on a mall. If a citizen takes the shooter out, itās always some unarmed minority.

Iām not sure about the strategy of it, but 18-year SC justice terms is an extremely good long-term policy.

ikes couldnāt go three days without being banned. It wouldnāt be for his views or his politics or where he stands on Covid/Trump/whatever. None of those things are what makes ikes uniquely insufferable.

I think I might not have been clear. I was saying donāt invite him here.
I thought ikes didnāt match or something? Was he actually granted a medical degree and residency in a U.S. state?
He was in NOLA for med school I thought. Please donāt bring him back. For the love of god.

Yes. He got a residency in the NYC area. According to his Twitter, his plan was to move out to California, where he is licensed. Not sure if his residency is over and if he did that.
There are an awful lot of people who enjoy beating up cans on internet forums. Obviously Iām a āfuck no donāt bring Ikesā vote. Jesus christ we already have several doctors (please pull through hobbes) so itās not like heād add anything unique to the board.
If someone finds a genuinely smart libertarian (and they do exist in the wild) feel free to invite them. I do worry about this being an echo chamber after all.
Being from St. Louis I had to use a similar tactic discussing that couple that held assault rifles on their front lawn.
āIf I was defending my home I would have a shotgun and watch the front door, not be on the front lawn pointing my gun at peopleā
Pausingā¦Yeah, you are right actually.

I suppose thatās one way to get around Article III status. Could see it getting struck down as unconstitutional, though.
Republicans will just say fuck you no and keep nominating ghouls to the bench.
