So the bloke's (who just tried to assassinate Trump) lawyers are trying to get him off one of the charges by saying it's unconstitutional to ban a felony from possession of a firearm.
Fucking crazy country.

What is interesting is that MAGA conservatives have made this same argument under the guise of protecting 2A rights.

It's not really about pets though. That's just a side issue. The real issues are numerous and continuously ignored.

1. A small town of 50 thousand has a foreign population of close to 20000 inserted into their community with little regards for the effects. If such an influx.

2. The social services in the small town has reached a breaking point.

3. The difference in the culture of the natives and the new migrants are causing massive social aches.

4. Spikes in homelessness and encampments springing up around town as landlords triple their rent and stop renewing rental leases so they could get in on the windfall of renting bunke weekly to Haitians who they can't pack 15 to 20 per house and charging by bed.

5. There have been complaints at board meetings as to why the city isn't enforcing its rental housing codes.

6. There has been a well documented spoke in car accidents in the town. Specifically related to migrants. And a general refusal by the force to tow cars of migrants who have been caught driving without a license.

7. There is a specific agency dedicated to Haitian employment (and according to some residents - I'm sure some will call them butter and lazy - there is preferential treatment given to migrant employment.

Then there is the culture clash stuff that comes with the territory. Haitian men deemed a little more aggressive with women than many are used to or comfortable with. Language barriers that make it impossible to negotiate or communicate with some of them.

Overall, the impression you get is there are government officials and businesses taking advantage of the Migrants themselves, the town of Springfield and it's citizens themselves and no one gives a fuck... God forbid you object to any of this, you'd be called a racist off the bat.

There is this ideological belief that any opposition to migrants at any level simply must come from a place of bigotry and racism. Its nonsense! Most of the citizens are accommodating within reason, but there is only so much top down engineering a town can take.

For the record, Springfield is just one of many cities where immigration has left an unenjoyable taste.

In Chicago it's the black residents who are the racists. In California, same. Black folks are up in arms. You have money for migrants but not for our reparations? Say it ain't so Mister Guv'nor.

In Colorado it's the Hispanics who are the bigots. In New York it's the African Americans and the Hispanic complaining about drained by resources. Bloody bigots.


Bigots everywhere of all shade and color. When would the self delusions stop?

And Trump being weird about eating pets has helped how?

You know, you don't have to be as weird as him.

Crazy for being gun worshippers (1)

Crazy for everything eventually coming back to 'The Constitiuon' because that is clearly a nebulous concept that cant keep up with the the modern age as advancement cannot be framed about something 200 years old (2)

Crazy for being able to have politicians appoint judges that suit and for them to be elected (judicial) to rule on stuff that suits him politically (the executive) and for them to have to be relected and run campaigns for it (3)

Stack the Supreme Court with favourable people that ultimately rule in whatever they want the Constitution mean to fit and get the way that the executive wanted on the first place (4)

Trump wasnt joking when he said he could walk through Manhatten and shoot someone and when he said a couple of weeks ago that if back in he could organise that nobody would even have to bother voting next time. The systems there allow it.

Joke of a place
