I ran fantasy leagues in OOT for several years where I held all funds with no issues but OK. I'll escrow up to $10 on my end with a poster of your choice. If you win it's yours, if you lose it's returned to me and you'll owe me $1000. If you're freerolling me I'll happily give up the few $ in EV to see you banned forever.

The bet offered was that "the 2020 Democratic nominee for president does not make universal healthcare a campaign issue." For you to win that means from the date of the Democratic National Convention to 11/3/2020, the Democratic nominee for president makes a statement indicating that they intend to push for healthcare reform if elected, and their proposed plan ensures at a minimum that 100% of US citizens will have some form of health insurance or coverage. If they claim that they would support several options their top choice needs to be the universal option. Quote to book and tell me where to send the money or **** off.

I don't mean you won't pay like you'll admit you were wrong but refuse to fork over the money, I mean that you'll refuse to pay like you'll come up with some angle that supporting a public option or modified M4A doesn't "count" and claim you won.

But just to sketch it out, would a statement along these lines qualify?

Quality of life in places run by what you describe as left wing nuts is much higher than the us.

I see Our Revolution endorsed Dennis Kucinich for governor. Clearly some Very Serious people are involved. This is a complete embarrassment and hopefully only some moron locals involved

Florida Lawmakers Advance Bill Requiring Schools To Display 'In God We Trust'

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-...n-god-we-trust

"ATC, you posted this in the wrong thread. The Florida state legislature is controlled by Republicans. We can't stop their pointless virtue signalling to the base." Well, about that:

"Well, come on ATC. Be fair. Every party has a few crackpots."

Primary everyone. Get rid of these ****ing bums.

Fucckkkkkk yooouuuuuuuu

How can they get away with something so blatantly unconstitutional

I mean thats a dumb question obviously. I agree with primary everyone

3D printed guns have a life of a single firing.

It's our national motto

Also, and this has been debated ITT before, but it's a huge plus if crooks are forced to make their own guns instead of relying on professionally-made weapons. Half of them are gonna jam or backfire.

For now. And even a one timer would probably sell if/when guns are prohibited.

They would sell and people do make their own guns. I was held up in Argentina by a guy who had lead pipe that was retrofitted to be a pistol. They only fire one shot though and only sometimes. They're a lot less deadly.

And should that ever occur, it will still take highly specialized equipment that we can also ban.

So let them try. And we'll find ways to address the ways in which they succeed.

I'm not super up on materials science, but my understanding is that 3D printing anything that can withstand multiple bullet firings is lol for the foreseeable future. I think maybe we can worry about replicators when they actually exist.

They'd still be more desirable than a zip gun.

And I don't even know why people would argue there wouldn't be a black market for guns.

Uh, nobody is arguing anything like that?

Uh, yes someone actually did argue that, maybe go back and read.

I'm pretty sure they didn't, but this is the second time today you're trying to do your Paul D thing where you blow up a trivial thing waaaaay past the point where anybody cares but you, and even if you're right it's only on the slimmest of technicalities. So whatever. I concede. You win whatever it is you think is going on here.

Let me stop you right there in your ****ty tracks. Someone actually did make an argument that they weren't convinced there would be a black market. And you came in without reading the full exchange. You don't get to dress me down. You're the one posty ****tily here. Quit being a hypocrite. You actually blew this up because you didn't read.

Ofc there will always be a black market for guns and maybe some enterprising lad will set up a foundry in his shop and make improvised guns. I don't think that's a reason for us to let up on gun control.

Jason Kander. I don't think he's in favor of repealing the 2A, but he's been quite outspoken about gun control. And his military background makes it extremely difficult to attack him on it.

I know I've posted about Kander before, but I think people are way underestimating his chances. I think he's going to run to increase his national profile, and his youth is going to be blindingly obvious compared to the olds. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he catches on and becomes a serious threat to win the nomination, especially if gun control is a relevant issue during the campaign.

I hope I'm wrong, but if a Dem Presidential nominee were to ratchet up the rhetoric on gun control I have a hard time envision them winning any of the following states: Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan.

Ryan Grimm and Lee Fang continue to kill it with another piece on DCCC awfulness.

DCCC Goes Nuclear, Slams Democratic Candidate as Corrupt for Same Behavior It Engages in Regularly

https://theintercept.com/2018/02/22/...-officials-do/

The DCCC is dumping oppo research on a Democrat running in a US House special election.

They claim to be doing this because Moser can't win against the Republican. The fact that Moser wrote an article criticizing the DCCC for supporting anti-choice candidates is totally a coincidence, for real, believe me.

DCCC is a cartoon villain and they don't seem to give any ****s about openly flaunting how awful they are.

whats wrong with kucinich? hes about as liberal as it gets and is certainly not beholded to corporations. the bank hate him with a passion and refused to lend cleveland any money when he was mayor and trash piled on the streets for weeks.
