Heroic Halfwit

Yeah, this factually inaccurate and knowingly so.  I'll go back to the Archive to check the Constitution, but I'm pretty sure the NRA isn't listed there.  Second, the NRA has long advocated for responsible gun ownership, invests a great deal of time and energy in providing firearms safety training all across the country.  
 
You may dislike the NRA or the very idea that people should be able to defend themselves or perhaps you are offended that other people should hold an opinion that doesn't mirror your own, but lying is not an honorable way to attempt to advance your political agenda.  Though I much prefer it to the tactics of terrorist groups like Antifa.  So carry on.  

The Nazi Party was socialist.  So are many of the people on the left.  The Nazi Party believed in the use of violence to perpetuate their political agenda despite being in the minority, so do the "counter protestors."  Both the Nazi Party and some of the counter protestors have called for confiscating the property of law abiding citizens on the basis of subject characteristics included in the Civil Rights Act such as some of the groups self identified as "Black Lives Matter."
 
Of course, you seem to imply that anyone supporting Trump is somehow a Nazi, which is odd since Nazis are socialists and most socialists are on the political left.  
 
I denounce any and all non-state actors who use violence or the threat of violence to advance a political agenda.  We could quibble, but that is the essence of the definition of a terrorist group.  How many on the left have advocated for "direct action" including the destruction of property even violence?

Have we gone so crazy that we can't all agree that basic civility is required for a functioning society and that running around in masks assaulting people and committing arson is just out of bounds?

"No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law."  This seems to violate both.  As to Due Process, the seizing of the private property of a person occurs prior to that person even having notice that such a seizure was threatened, then that person has to go down to the court house to obtain an singular form to "request" a court hearing?
 
The only seeming justification for this kind of heavy handed freedom stomp is the protection of innocent life, but we have that in all 50 states.  If a person can be reasonably demonstrated to be suicidal that person may be committed to a mental health treatment facility against their will for a period of time, and then are AUTOMATICALLY given a hearing to contest their commitment.  If the argument is for the defense of others, then a reasonable basis should exist for the potential user of the gun (who, may not be the actual owner of the gun, so on top of everything else you are, in some cases, depriving a lawful owner of his or her property based upon the alleged potentially criminal actions of a third party) to be arrested for assault, making terroristic threats, child neglect, abuse, dependency (depending on the State).  If there is no such basis for an arrest warrant or civil commitment then I respectfully submit to you that there is not a reasonable basis to believe the danger is so grave an imminent as to dispose with any semblance of Due Process.  Oregon isn't a freaking warzone and private gun owning citizens are not some kind of invading army!
 
This is simply an attempt by liberal, anti-gun, anti-freedom persons to disarm the populace.

Will Smith (no relation to the actor) was President of the Conservative Students Union at UC Davis.  While escorting a controversial speaker onto campus to speak at an open forum on immigration, an "Antifa" "protester" doused Will with a highly flammable acid eating away the left side of his face including his left eye.  Fleeing head long into the crowd he collided with another "protester" in the process of lighting a Molotov cocktail causing both to burst into flames.  The UC Davis campus police had been ordered by the University president to stand down and it was nearly half an hour before the Davis County Sheriff's Deputies and Fire Department arrived on scene and began to establish order.  
 
Will was still crawling away when they found him an hour later.  The EMT's triaged him as moribundus and transported him last, expecting it to be a morgue run, but Will simply refused to die.  He spent 9 months in the burn ward after they amputated his leg and arm and replaced the left side of his face with a plastic prosthetic. 
 
He became a minor Youtube celebrity in conservative circles dubbed "Iron Will" for his incredible will to survive.  Students from the Union established a Go Fund Me campaign, "Iron for Iron Will" to help pay for manipulative prosthetics raising almost $200,000.
 
The experience and the prosthetics changed Will.  There are the obvious changes to his appearance and the prosthetics, but the more profound, if subtle, changes were to his mind.  His will became both stronger and more focused;  honed like a blade.  Where before he had a measure of charisma, now he had an almost palpable aura of power about him.  He is calm, focused, still.  Inhumanly so.  Though limited to the one eye, he became terrifically observant, able to read the clues of appearance and body language that even detectives and interrogators miss.  He developed a near photographic memory and uncanny discipline.  
 
And yet the masks always bring him to that dark placing in his soul where he is still burning, gobs of flesh slipping from his face and down his throat burning all the way.  
 
He campaigns vehemently against masks whether worn by terrorists or vigilantes.  The tattoos on his chest are inscriptions in Sanskrit to remind himself that he is still human despite the chrome.  
 
Today he practices law in a small civil rights firm in Alexandria, VA just outside the District, specializing in private prosecution.  He carries a shotgun everywhere as is his right under the 2nd Amendment, attends free speech rallies, and if he tries to engineer circumstances in which he might be entitled to use that shotgun in defense of self or others, well it's perfectly legal.
 
He is "Iron Will"

Lemme guess.... Enraged: When called "Mickey" or asked if he's working for Disney?

Who are the anti-women bible-thumpers on the bench?  Seriously, I've not met one and... I'm a lawyer.  And on the Supreme Court I would be shocked if you could reasonably call any of the current Justices or even Antonin Scalia, God rest his soul, anti-woman or a bible-thumper.
 
Honestly, that's the first time I've ever heard anyone imply that Donald J. Trump was a Bible-thumper.  Made me giggle.  Thank you.
 
I could care less about a politician's personal life and personal views but that would take effort.  I'm interested in the policies they enact.  If Donald Trump makes it so that illegal immigrants from South and Central America are treated equally with illegal immigrants from other parts of the world I'm in favor of it.  Please explain to me how it is not racist, xenophobic, or w/e to give one set of illegal immigrants preferable treatment over a different set?
 
If you try to emigrate to Canada, Australia or Denmark you will find that they all have far more restrictive immigration policies than the United States.
 
I do not think you should be ashamed to be white or male.  You are white and male as a consequence of birth a circumstance over which you had absolutely no influence.  Nor should you feel any moral responsibility, i.e. shame, for the actions of other persons just because they share that consequence of birth. 
 
Justice Ginsburg has been dying for decades.  Not to worry.

I'm probably too sleep deprived to think straight, but to me it looks like an ectokinetic, someone who manipulates ectoplasm, the "stuff" of manifested ghosts and such.  The stuff coming off the wings gives that impression.  So I figured, like most everyone he wanted to fly, but couldn't muster the finesse or concentration to make 80 bizillion individual feathers, so that left bat wings which tie up the arms or beatle wings which don't.  The rod in his hand is actually a steel urn holding the ashes of a lot of dead folks from which to manifest the ectoplasm.
 
Yeah, I should sleep.

For those who lament the Two-Party System, you should rejoice in a Trump election, in part at least.  Trump was able to win election in defiance of all conventional wisdom with less money spent than any winning candidate since I've been alive.
 
This is great for those who hold out for Libertarians, Greens, Constitutionalists, and other 3rd parties.  It shows, conclusively, that it can be done.  You just need the right candidate and the right time and an exceedingly active social media account.  I'm serious.  The thing that gives me most hope about this election is the opportunity for the Internet to actually level the playing field against big donor interests.  On the Internet, you can put forth detailed, and therefore complicated and long, proposals.  People could, if they chose, decide on a candidate on the basis of actual policies rather than the sound bites.  I mean honestly what reasonable person thinks 90 seconds is a reasonable amount of time to layout a plan for resolving any significant national issue?
 
I hate what comes out of Donald Trump's mouth.  I think his personal life is a mess, but his actions are actually pretty good.  He's turned around a lot of bankrupt business and turned them into profitable job creating tax paying enterprises.  He has always paid for talent and provided both superior pay and benefits.  He even has a solid history of promoting women and minorities in his various business concerns.  What he'll do as President, we'll have to see, but the old saw I live by is if you want to predict what people will do, look at what they've done;  not what they've said.
 
In any event, it's a blow against the political aristocracy and the political dynasties and that, in and of itself, is a good thing.  A Trump presidency might still be a apocalyptic disaster or he might be a modern day Cincinnatus who restores the Republic.  Time will tell.

I learned that already with Roberts.
 
Like I said, I'm not really happy with the idea of heavy tilted court either way.  But, the left do a lot more things that concern me than the reverse.

I think the majority of Americans were faced with the choice of the less undesirable candidate of those available.  I include myself in that category of wishing we had other candidates from which to choose.  On the other hand, there is some upside, regardless of political preference, to a Donald Trump presidency.  If you, like me and others, believe that American politics has become to entrenched with the same people and the same families, donors, etc. wielding too much power creating a "political elite" or "ruling aristocracy" Donald Trump is certainly not part of that.
 
If Donald Trump becomes president regardless of who wins control of the House and/or Senate he will have to "reach across the aisle" to get anything done because large segments of both parties vehemently disagree with him.  This may be enough for Congress to muster the where with all to actually take back some of its Constitutional power from the previous two "imperial presidents."  Yes, I believe that both George Bush the Second and Barrack Obama have Unconstitutionally expanded the power of the presidency and Donald Trump is sufficiently hated by the entrenched members of Congress to encourage them to finally do something about that.
 
Fair warning.  The securities markets are likely to go a bit nuts in coming days as a Trump win was not expected and the markets always react negatively to uncertainty.  There are "talking heads" saying that a Trump presidency will be "catastrophic" but I will remind that the said the same things about "Brexit" and after the initial panic reaction in the markets, which was fully resolved in 2 weeks, we've come to realize that Brexit wasn't the tragedy for Britain it was alleged.  The long term viability of the EU with a British exit is perhaps a different story.
 
At this point we've all voted (or not) and we'll just have to see how it goes.
