We endorsed Sen. Cory Gardner in 2014 because we believed he’d be a statesman. We knew he’d be a conservative voice in Congress, to be certain, but we thought his voice would bring “fresh leadership, energy and ideas.”

We see now that was a mistake – consider this our resolution of disapproval.

Gardner has been too busy walking a political tight rope to be a leader. He has become precisely what we said in our endorsement he would not be: “a political time-server interested only in professional security.”

Quote

A Missouri lawmaker has proposed legislation that would require many adult residents to own assault-style rifles.

Rep. Andrew McDaniel, R-Deering, introduced House Bill 1108 on Feb. 27.

The so-called McDaniel Militia Act "requires every person between 18 and 35 years of age who can legally possess a firearm to own an AR-15 and authorizes a tax credit for a purchase of an AR-15."

Quote

According to McDaniel's measure, any person who qualifies as a resident on Aug. 28, 2019, who does not own an AR-15-style rifle would have a year to purchase one. In addition, anyone who becomes a state resident after that date would have no more than a year to purchase such a rifle.

McDaniel also filed House Bill 1052 seeking to require every person 21 and older to own a handgun if legally able. According to the Missouri House of Representatives website, neither bill has yet been scheduled for a hearing or put on a House agenda.

 

"Missouri: we may only have the first four letters of "Mississippi" to start our name, but we're just as stupid!"

What could possibly go wrong.

Take all the money from the bottom 90 percent and funnel it to the ultra wealthy, but require the poors to purchase assault rifles and pay for it. Interesting policy platform there.

He has to be making some kind of point with this right?  Or are they really just that stupid?

Co-sponsors of the bill include Sturm, Ruger and co, Remington, Daniel Defense, LaRue Tactical, and Panther Arms. 

Here's more, with the mugshot portrait of this fine legislator:

A bill introduced to the Missouri House of Representatives would require every resident between 18 and 34 years old to own at least one AR-15.

Introduced by Bootheel Representative Andrew McDaniel, House Bill 1108 is called the “McDaniel Militia Act.”

The bill defines an “AR-15” as “any semi-automatic rifle that is modeled on the AR-15 rifle design by AramLite, Inc.” It defines a “resident” as “a resident of the state who is 18 years or older and under 35 years old, who is not prohibited by law or court order from possessing a firearm.”

Under the bill, residents could be eligible for a tax credit equal to 75 percent of the cost of the AR-15 they bought.

 

Quote

It was first introduced to the House on February 27.

According to the Missouri House of Representatives website, a hearing on the bill has not been scheduled and it is not currently on a House calendar.

McDaniel was elected in 2014 and represents parts of Dunklin and Pemiscot Counties. He also served as a deputy sheriff for Pemiscot County for three years.

Dunklin and Pemiscot Counties

If anyone was wondering, those two counties comprise the "boot heel" of Missouri.

that heel is covered in dog shit.

It's a longform essay by Robert Kagan discussing the resurgence of autocrats as seen through a historical perspective from the signing of the Declaration of Independence into the present. He gives a persuasive argument that the true ideological struggle since the Enlightenment has been between Liberalism and Authoritarianism.

Get off your high bike. I support my local public radio station. Even if I were a WaPo subscriber, I'd still need to give the same advice to others to share it here - same with NYTimes, DMN, the Statesman, and many other papers.

It’s a fantastic piece. It very much captures the current split...and it so frustrates me that those on the authoritarian populist side don’t see how they are fighting against every significant gain the west made in the postwar period.

Reads like Jim Jones last words before passing out the cyanide and eating a bullet.

You just went 0-3 against the troll. Every time you react to a troll, the troll wins. It's like you're hand feeding the troll at a petting zoo. 

Don't feed the trolls.

asking a troll to improve their craft is not reacting to a troll.  it is simply reminding them that no one takes them remotely seriously and thus, they need to deliver some occasional quality with their garbage or they will lose their troll status and simply become ignored.  like phlegm.

The thing is, he already knows that what he says isn’t worth the plastic from the keys that it’s typed. There’s no way he’s that unaware, so when you tell him that no one with an IQ above 80 takes him seriously, you’re not telling him anything he doesn’t already know. If I’m wrong, he has a chronic case of the Dunning Kruger effect, at which point there’s no way he could learn anything from what you say.

Regardless of the silly hypothetical civil war argument, what isn't debatable is that that a US Congressman tweeted, with a smirk, about one third of the country shooting up the other two thirds. Being an intellectual giant of the GOP, naturally Steve King did so while including his own district/state in the "losing" side. But yeah, let's defend him on the merits of his "argument."

Except he knows that if you really didn't take him seriously then the shit he says wouldn't get under your skin and evoke a response.

I think he’s probably right, but yes, it’s just a silly hypothetical in the end. Everything is a personal affront to you lefties anymore and it’s a damn shame.

Stop feeding him.  He's a troll.  He's a moron.  He's not remotely clever.  The only thing that brings him pleasure is shitting himself and smearing feces around.

1) don't engage him

2) particularly because, based on my analysis above, he might be the fucking President of the United States.
