New ATF director

"Two Republicans, Susan Collins (R-ME) and Rob Portman (R-OH) crossed the aisle to vote to confirm Dettelbach, who was confirmed by a margin of 48 to 46."

This is an example of there being little difference between the two parties, and why people thinking that the Repubs are really doing more than using talking points for your votes is wishful thinking.

The way a lot of people are conditioned to view this is to think that these two, or any others when they "cross party lines" is as if they did it on their own. Think of it more as who the party can allow to take the heat for something they are not against in the first place. Now they will really stir up your vote and have talking points for something they made sure happened in the first place.

They really know how to work their audience and secure their positions.
Spot on. Both parties play their supporters like a banjo.
My current favorite discussion is to ask a strong Democratic supporter is why the Dems didn't codify Roe in 2008 when they had the presidency, the house and a 60 vote majority in the senate.
Do you believe that they are so incompetent that they didn't do anything about the most important plank on the Democratic agenda or do you believe they raise a lot more money and get a lot more people to vote if everyone is fighting about it?
Fair warning if you go down this road, heads will explode.
 
KNOW YOUR ENEMY! I keep trying to remind people, Pedo Joe was BHO's vice
president (and I DO MEAN VICE!), The SAME GANG and BHO (RADICAL MARXIST COMMUNIST BOLSHEVIK!) are REALLY Running the Show! The DAILY MEDIA BOMBARDMENT of Anti-Gun Propaganda is STRAIGHT Out of Eric Holder's
Playbook.
 
I suppose this is what happens when in a country with 350 + million people only 160 odd million get off their bums and vote

I REALLY Wish I had your confidence in the Voting System of this Country that you
have. With the Mail-In ballots and the Electronic (hackable) voting machines used
now I have 0 confidence in that Whole Process. Call me a CONSPIRACY THEORIST,
BUT I Believe the CORRUPTION of the ENTIRE SYSTEM and it's Processes are either
at or Very Close to 100% and we need to START and Work from There.

I'm in the same boat as you , in my country Australia we are still using pieces of paper and pencils the funny thing is the labour government which is the left wing component of this country their motto is vote early and vote often and they will actually say that to the press , there were tens of thousands of people who voted twice three four five times and the electoral commission never hand it out one fine

I disagree. Just because you have a few bad ones doesn't mean most of them are bad, or that the larger parties lack substantive differences.

Otherwise, you could use that same logic to say regular gun owners are no different from mass shooters.

I think I understand your point of view and in the sense that there seem to be 2 completely different value systems (apparently}, We the people THINK we have a choice. We don't. It's a False paradigm where we are mentally conditioned to BELIEVE we have a choice, Mostly done by the MEDIA, but in actuality both sides are owned and controlled by BIG MONEY!!
As long as we believe we have a choice, we are controllable. Yes, there are a FEW good
principled politicians, but Very Few! but they are kept from ever getting anything
accomplished just like when Ron Paul ran for president and was LEADING in the polls,
but was ignored, disparaged and not given any airtime by the press and media to get his message out.
The Best Way to Always Win a football game is to OWN BOTH TEAMS! and BIG MONEY
KNOWS THAT and has for A LONG TIME.

The FEDERAL RESERVE that Prints our MONEY, is Neither FEDERAL nor a RESERVE. but
are OWNED by a Small Group of people.
BUT They OWN THE PRINTING PRESS, and Not Only in This Country but in VIRTUALLY
EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.....The SAME SMALL GROUP of people.

OUR Money System IS the PROBLEM. JFK was going to Fix that but what happened to him?? Our Founding Fathers WARNED about it!!
What would You own if you could Print Money out of Thin Air?

Susan Collins is a RHINO through and through. She is pandering to our first congressional district, which has been taken over by liberal flatlands from away. She was the best of the worst in her last election.
 
If you think an anti gun ATF director is bad. How about the possible billion dollars of taxpayer money going to the Vera Institute of Justice in the next 5 years. VIJ is a non-profit that helps illegal immigrants avoid expulsion, promotes reducing mass incarnation of criminals, seeks drastically cutting law enforcement officers. Just another democrat spending bill, that is anti American citizens safety.
 
Doesn't matter, next year or 20 years from now we will tear our self apart and the great experiment will fail. Again. Hope I am dead and gone before it happens, my kids think I am nuts. If it happens while I am here I am dead and gone anyway. Just one Hellfire away from a nice granite tombstone with no one to honor anything I did.
