[02:20] IsambardPrince I thought about getting another pair, but WAHLmart didn't have the one I wanted. :P [02:20] MinceR :> [02:20] IsambardPrince So I went to Amazon. [02:22] IsambardPrince MinceR, So the liars say that I support Trump. [02:23] IsambardPrince Here's what I said about Trump. [02:23] IsambardPrince "Unfortunately, leaving a country that the Conservatives ruined (the Philippines) was the only way my spouse could have gotten out of the dire poverty that was there. [02:23] IsambardPrince But it won't work for everyone. [02:23] IsambardPrince All anyone wants to talk about is how Desi Arnaz fled the Communist uprising in Cuba, but even that wasn't as bad as the Marcoses and Duterte in the Philippines. [02:23] IsambardPrince And Trump has more in common with Duterte than he does with any leader in the free world. [02:23] IsambardPrince There's an International Criminal Court warrant out for Duterte. There should be one out for Donald Trump except that it would be almost impossible to make him stand trial. [02:23] IsambardPrince Yes, I said that Donald Trump is worse than the Cuban Revolution and he is a war criminal." [02:23] IsambardPrince --- [02:23] IsambardPrince You know what I think about turning Americans over to the ICC. [02:23] IsambardPrince But there's an easy way to fix that. [02:24] IsambardPrince Strip Trump of his citizenship, make him Stateless, and then turn him over. [02:24] IsambardPrince Then he won't be an American anymore and our policy of not turning over Americans will be intact. [02:25] IsambardPrince Calling Trump worse than a Communist uprising is a pretty bold statement. [02:25] IsambardPrince But I like to go big. [02:36] eidolon Desi Arnaz is talk of the town here as well. [02:36] eidolon It is relentless. [02:37] IsambardPrince Older Republicans like to point out that Desi Arnaz had to flee political persecution after the Cuban Revolution. [02:37] IsambardPrince They arrested his uncle and disappeared him for being a town mayor they didn't like. [02:37] IsambardPrince They confiscated all the property. [02:37] IsambardPrince Desi was lucky enough to escape with the shirt on his back from these people. [02:38] IsambardPrince They repressed all of the human rights of the Cuban people and set up a dictatorship where nobody has much of anything. [02:38] IsambardPrince That's why I said Trump is worse than the Cuban Revolution. [02:38] IsambardPrince Project 2025 sounds much worse than that. [02:40] IsambardPrince The previous government wasn't good but this one is much worse than that one was. [02:40] IsambardPrince They don't even let you film things like their grocery stores. [02:40] IsambardPrince They don't want to embarrass the regime when it becomes obvious that people have almost no money and there wouldn't be anything to buy at the store that day if they did. [02:40] IsambardPrince This is how economies tend to work under Communism. [02:41] IsambardPrince It says from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs. [02:41] IsambardPrince There's no reward for excelling, so few do. [02:42] IsambardPrince Some people will even if there's not much to gain from it, many people just do the bare minimum because there's no reward for working harder or trying to get ahead. [02:42] IsambardPrince And although the US is certainly not Communist, the same thing is happening here. [02:42] IsambardPrince The social mobility isn't gone, but that's not from the Republican Party's lack of trying. [02:43] IsambardPrince The motivation to work harder and try to get ahead hasn't evaporated, but it's not what it once was because the Democrats give people handouts for being broke that disappear if you work harder. [02:44] eidolon The handouts are tantamount to accepting a bribe from the government. [02:44] IsambardPrince The bargain used to be that there were some poor people but those were jsut bums that had no work ethic and motivation. You could make something of your life by not being like them. [02:44] eidolon Changes the whole dynamic of things in regard to any social mobility. [02:44] IsambardPrince Today it's "You will stay where you're at and take the food stamps and Medicaid." [02:44] IsambardPrince "If you complain, we will hurt you."

[07:50] IsambardPrince If you slap them with a misdemeanor, they'll be out tomorrow and buy a new gun. [07:50] IsambardPrince Then you have that idiot Democrat prosecutor showing off all the guns they "recovered" while violent crime goes through the roof.

[07:53] IsambardPrince So the system just automatically grants a permit to everyone else. [07:55] IsambardPrince There's an assumption that people who get gun permits and pass background checks like I did are going to be people who are not dangerous, and are of higher character within the community. [07:55] IsambardPrince For the most part, 99.1% of the time, that assumption works well. [07:55] IsambardPrince It's a reactive system though. [07:56] IsambardPrince If you're a convicted criminal, a domestic abuser, or a certifiable nutjob, you lose it. [07:56] IsambardPrince They wouldn't take it away because you got convicted of reckless driving or a DUI or something. [07:56] IsambardPrince But if it was a violent crime, they sure will. [07:59] IsambardPrince Where I live, I have the right to "arrest" someone if they are committing a felony. [07:59] IsambardPrince Where that means detain them and get the police. [07:59] IsambardPrince If it's a violent felony, like they're trying to rape or kill someone, I have the right to shoot them if that's what it takes to make them stop.
