Waitaminnit Texas requires a license for handguns but there's essentially no requirements for having / carrying a long gun? Shotguns, Assault Rifles - JD May 13, 13:57 3
- For hand guns, one needs a license for open carry but if one has a concealed carry license that is also sufficient -- nm - JD May 13, 14:07
- Concealed carry? You can’t conceal a long gun so it’s sort of moot for them. -- nm - spamlet May 13, 14:03 1

- So there it is. The new "but her emails". -- nm - Mop May 13, 13:24 2
  - Eh, it's all spittle and distractionary flensing. It might work again, of course, but then again ... it might not. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 13:27 1
    - You want the truth, you can't handle the truth, HELL YEAH I ordered the code red investigation of a red agent about to become the president -- nm - Col Obama May 13, 13:34
- I thought there were other questions, but perhaps I'm wrong? -- nm - ty97 May 13, 13:10 1

- this is the beginning of the coup that I was talking about. - Jovian May 13, 12:30 21
  - It's typical Rep and Dem. politics. Stop trying to make fetch happen. -- nm - Inigo May 13, 12:38 20
    - Honestly, the fact that you think this is typical is really what makes it disturbing. It is not typical. - pmb May 13, 13:08 16
      - Yes, the 'both sides do it' nonsense needs to stop. -- nm - David May 13, 13:36 1
        
        Both sides are not doing this, only one. -- nm - . May 13, 14:10
      - ish. Boehner used to come out every day for a press conference to try to make the days news to be the Dem's next horrible thing. -- nm - Max May 13, 13:24 7
        
        Sure. But it's also an entirely different thing to be pressing a narrative of pursuing charges against a past president for something of this nature. - pmb May 13, 13:27 6
        
        If they actually had anything, they'd lead with it, instead of this vague inference crap. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 13:48 5
        
        Of course, but that's what makes it so dangerous. It's all about creating doubt and undermining trust in the institutions to create - pmb May 13, 13:52
        
        Yes, but the funniest part is that they would try it while their party's candidate commits hourly felonies. - David May 13, 13:50 3
        
        Where in this case "gambling problem" = thing they think is a problem because of lore thicker than a Scientology novel. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 13:54 1
        
        It reminds me of an evil version of "Hello, this man has actually been to outer space!" - David May 13, 13:59
        
        Sure, but it works. It's a new shiny object. -- nm - pmb May 13, 13:53
      - I agree but I think balance here lies somewhere on the spectrum between Jovian's "coup" opinion and Inigo's "par the course" implication. -- nm - ty97 May 13, 13:12 4
        
        Probably a little closer to “Famous Potatoes”. -- nm - znufrii May 13, 13:21 1
        
        LIVE FREE OR DIE -- nm - David May 13, 13:56
        
        Sure, but it's still symptoms of something really troubling. I agree there's a spectrum, with Jovian on one end, but I think reality is between - pmb May 13, 13:16 1
        
        If you think we're close to a coup, you've been listening to Jovian too much. - Inigo May 13, 13:45
      - it is so beyond typical. -- nm - Jovian May 13, 13:09
    - Im not talking about sellout Rand Paul. He is just laying groundwork. Im talking about the bomb Barr & Durham are going to drop in the next 4 months - Jovian May 13, 12:46 2
      - Durham has nothing. We would have seen it. -- nm - loosilu May 13, 14:27

Let’s talk ice cream—the Organic Brown Butter Caramel, from Talenti is mind blowing. Oak aged Vanilla is good too -- (pic) - Flavorize May 13, 12:15 [Attachment] 4

Future CEO sues Washington University (STL) because they didn’t have in person classes during a pandemic. -- (link) - spamlet May 13, 12:02 8
- I suppose he's trying to make the case that the tuition entitles him to a specific type of education. - Mop May 13, 12:21 5
  - Ooo, maybe he'll even invoke the Hairy Hand case. Value of what was received vs. what was expected. -- nm - Open Baron May 13, 13:15

Loyola, I think there'll be a vaccine. (But I had honestly not contemplated there would never be one.) - JaxSean May 13, 11:52 14
