Replying to avoid a de-rail in the Rittenhouse thread. It was only illegal to enter the Capitol building under the Covid restrictions on entering the capitol - pre-covid demonstrations have entered the capitol, including the house and senate while they were in session, numerous times. While...

I'd advise just ignoring Megadeath. I've never seen him say anything intelligent or even interesting, and the ignore button exists for a reason.

That's their legal role, sure, but it's an open secret that the CIA and NSA spy on us too, and by symmetry I'd be a bit surprised if the FBI never involved itself in foreign affairs, although maybe it does.

If you guys want to simp for bill cosby, you ought to make another thread for it.

The issue here is “who is ‘our’ and ‘we’?” The American Nation (the People) is not the same thing as the State, the DC government or The System broadly defined. The law is part of the system though. If the glowy and spook community is going after American Nationalists, why should I care...

Glow-in-the-darks are glow-in-the-darks imo. The issue isn't that they're corrupt it's that they're hostile.

Isn’t the NSA is spying on everyone?

There were, (they moved the storage pad), but they don't seem to have been insurmountable or even hard to surmount. What Yucca mountain ran afoul of more than anything else tbh was "Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, didn't want it in his state." Like, they even tried to nix making a...

I think you're probably right about the specific question of feeding seaweed to cows, but in general the last century has also proved that "standing athwart history yelling stop" is not effective at preventing the left from enacting changes either. What needs to be done is to push our own set of...

I’ll have to do more research on this I guess but I’m pretty sure it was political.

IIRC the Trump administration tried to restart licensing for Yucca Mountain in 2017 and again in 2018, but it keeps getting killed by Nevada democrats in the Senate and House.

Yeah, this is most environmental policies. The options on environment as far as I'm aware are basically between a dog and pony show and no dog and pony show. Partially because anything not a dog and pony show would involve nuclear, which the left is touchy about, or would involve gas prices...

On environmental issues I actually agree with you somewhat - I think parts of "Climate issues" is a smokescreen, but I get that there are plenty of decent White moderates and liberals who deeply care about the environment and want to make sure it's being preserved for their posterity, and that's...

See, this is the most confusing thing about what you believe to me, because being scrupulously PC on Climate Change or Southern History was not really Trump's thing. Trump was the one who withdrew from the Paris Agreement, for instance. Trump's a new yorker, so it can't really be expected that...

My experience with college republican activism is I can't think of any young Republicans or right-leaning people who hate Confederate memorials or symbols. There were people who liked them 'cause it was edgy and anti-PC (I live in a northern state so not many people who liked 'em for southern...

Both issues you mention are areas where you wish the GOP was more like the Dems. Framing issues where you wish the GOP agreed more with the Dems as evidence that the GOP rolls over too much or as evidence of uniparty is pretty nonsensical. Since these are the issues you don't agree with the GOP...

I mean this is pretty expansive and they're all social issues, which is what the GOP is generally criticized for falling short on. If you factor out economic issues then these are the issues GOP voters probably care about the most. My issues with the GOP are largely that I think they don't do...

The Feds’ Nonexistent Case Against Alleged Sicknick Assailants

This feels like we're getting extremely off topic. Might want to branch out to another thread?
