Also pump-action weapons. I'm pretty sure if semi-auto weapons disappeared tomorrow everyone would still have ARs, they'd just replace the gas tube with a push rod and convert it to pump action.

Yes. It means that the gun is only capable of firing one bullet per single action of the trigger, and automatically re-cocks itself for you after you fire.
Fully automatic means a firearm that can shoot multiple rounds per single action of the trigger -- i.e. a gun that keeps firing as long as you hold the trigger down. This is also the legal definition of what a "machine gun" is.
Also, a "sub-machine gun," in case you ever wondered, is a machine gun that shoots pistol caliber bullets rather than rifle caliber.
The Democrats have had an entire decade to offer some kind of meaningful opposition and didn't bother. Why would they start now?
The frustrating thing is that Trump didn't even get more votes this election than he did last election. There wasn't a bunch of new Trump voters that came out of the woodwork and turned the tide. He was absolutely beatable. He only won because 15 million of the people who voted for Biden last election just didn't bother this time.
It's always a grift with these people.
It's not even surprising anymore. Oh... wow... the Scooby Doo villain's mask came off again... crazy... who ever could have seen that coming... crazy...
It's just tedious.
I was so disappointed when Kamala came out strong for Medicare For All and then pretty much immediately caved and walked it back.
I have a strong suspicion that there is enormous pressure from the business world to keep the healthcare system the way it is. I'd bet almost anything that the instant healthcare is no longer tied to employment there is going to be a mass exodus of people from their jobs, and an absolute explosion of people starting their own businesses. I mean, I've had about half a dozen good scalable business ideas waiting and ready to go for years now, and the only reason I haven't pursued them is because it would probably mean giving up my health insurance. I can't possibly be alone in that.
And I bet if we got socialized health care, a lot of the problems we have right now with suppressed wages and poor working conditions would suddenly have a way of working themselves out.
They fucking better, because he's definitely going to.
Bezos: "Hey Donald, I stopped my Washington Post editors from endorsing Kamala for you. Didn't I do good, daddy?"
Trump: "Fuck you! Lawsuit! Fuck you!"
And also objecting to Tom Morello making a political statement as if he wasn't an honors graduate in Political Science from Harvard University.
Where I live we have a thing called BallotTrax. You sign up once and it automatically sends you notifications for that stuff so you don't have to remember to check. I really like it.
In the Wizard of Oz, Glenda the "Good" Witch is actually a ruthless drug kingpin.
She used her magic powers to summon a tornado and then merks the Wicked Witch of the East with Dorothy's house. She then puts WWotE's shoes on Dorothy in order to make her a target for WWotE's sister, the Wicked Witch of the West. Glenda then uses Dorothy as a stooge to bump off WWotW, thereby putting herself in control of Oz's vast fields of opium poppies, and cornering the entire opium trade.
It doesn't make sense any other way. Glenda could have told Dorothy to use the ruby slippers to get home at literally any point, but instead sends her on a wild goose chase, and uses her as a blunt instrument to take out the only other bases of power remaining in Oz: the WWotW, and the Wizard, who Dorothy exposes as a fraud. Only then does she tell Dorothy to click her heels, and poof: everything is all wrapped up with a bow, and Glenda's hands are clean. Her two main rivals are dead, and the Wizard is fleeing Oz in disgrace.
It's some fucking Kaiser Söze level shit.
