Would you be more specific regarding his heroism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Hegseth#Sexual_assault_allegation https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/c609906e-861b-4006-93ad-dd1daab15884.pdf?itid=lk_inline_manual_16 I did not claim that peace in Ukraine is a bad thing. Peace in Ukraine would be a great thing. The peace should be on Ukraine's terms, they should not be required to give up any territory and should be compensated for their loses by aggressor Russia. I think Russia will only be satisfied with a change in borders that nearly or completely eliminates Ukraine from the map. I think Russia will have every incentive to invade anyone else in the future if they are not promptly put in their place now for their destruction of Ukraine. Would you be singing the same tune if Russia invaded Alaska? Should the USA be expected to give up portions of Alaska because they might be in a weaker position due to the existing nearby (55 miles) Russian border that currently exists? Who are you to decide that the Galicians and Cossacks don't need to share territory? Are you opposed to all doctors who wear a uniform after being appointed to the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps? Or just certain ones? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Public_Health_Service_Commissioned_Corps I am also blaming Trump for doing the same things that most other president do. Of course Trump is not going to deliver on his promises. He proved that during his first term. What promises did Trump deliver on? The wall is not complete, Clinton is still not in prison. Illegals are still in the country. The desire for cheap labor transcends party lines. It of course Democrats and Republicans who want cheap labor. But this is the Trump section of the forum, so I'm talking about Trump. Trump just got re-elected and is making more promises he has no intention of keeping. But I might be wrong. Are you telling me that Trump hires illegal aliens because the Democrats want him to do so? https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/08/trump-organization-undocumented-workers So remember when Trump said he could do anything per the Constitution? This included forcing the governors to keep the economy open and prohibiting lock downs. The cheap gas you're remembering is from the time of the lock downs when prices fell due to greatly reduced demand. https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_article_width/public/2023-07/FOTW_1297.png?itok=IDUjXblg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state_and_local_government_responses_to_the_COVID-19_pandemic I was doing better prior to Trump's election and after Trump left office. Primarily because of the pandemic that Trump mismanaged. My net worth is increasing every month, even in retirement. The increased inflation during Biden's term limited the increase in my net worth, but it never went down. While inflation was lower during Trump's term, it is hard to inflate prices when the economy is so depressed by the lock downs that Trump so willingly allowed. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/ I do like capitalism. I profited from capitalism greatly since 1975 to 2023. I would like to see what kind of hoops you will jump through, in order to claim that harvesting food, that people eat, is not important enough for a living wage. So if Trump or any other president (they are part of the federal government) defines a firearm, then it is moronic? Why do you claim that your definition of a gun is better than the definition provided by the government as stated in federal law? Unless you're quoting the US code to define a firearm, your claim is just something you made up, accurate or not. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/921 [quote](3) The term “firearm” means (A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon; (C) any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or (D) any destructive device. Such term does not include an antique firearm.[/quote] As you can see, in the USA a firearm is more than something that "propels a projectile using explosive or pressure force". The feds also include silencers and various gun parts in their definition of firearms. Firearms are also defined here; https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/5845 It also includes machine gun parts all by themselves. In 2006, Bush banned spring loaded bump stocks by classifying them as contraband machine guns. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/ruling/2006-2-classification-devices-exclusively-designed-increase-rate-fire/download This ban is still in force. In 2019 Trump banned the rest of the bump stocks the same way. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-12-26/pdf/2018-27763.pdf In 2022 Biden banned forced reset triggers by classifying them as contraband machine guns. This ban is still in effect. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/open-letter/all-ffls-mar-2022-open-letter-forced-reset-triggers-frts/download In 2024 the Supreme Court struck down Trump's gun grab. The court said the ATF (by Trump's order) was wrong to classify bump stocks as machine guns. That was the job of Congress. https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/garland-v-cargill/ How is Trump's gun grab uniting the country? Just like his felony convictions and his rapey attitude? Why did you vote for Harris? Trump revealed himself to be the RINO when he had his gun grab. Trump's gun confiscation plan without due process. https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4717030/user-clip-donald-trump-take-guns-first-due-process-second Trump gun grab. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-12-26/pdf/2018-27763.pdf Trump wants to raise age to buy guns. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-endorsees-raising-minimum-age-to-21-for-more-weapons Trump politics is "good old boy" politics. Thee is no other reason for requiring loyalty to Trump over loyalty to the Constitution. View all replies >
