The tables can turn quickly!
I’ve recently had that conversation with my son walks around with a pistol. He has the multi state concealed weapon license but that doesn’t seem to matter.
Internal review contradicts White House narrative of Pretti’s death — NPR
The preliminary assessment from Customs and Border Protection makes no mention of Alex Pretti attacking officers or threatening them with a weapon — as the administration first described the incident.apple.news
“Don’t take your guns to town son…”

B.S.
Do you need a list of all things that the left doesn't tolerate because of hurt feelings?
The intolerance of very basic ideas, concepts, and language is a large reason why Trump was elected.
I didn't realize that we need a specific reason to be carrying a firearm. Maybe he went there to kill officers, but he didn't, he never had his gun in his hand. He was disarmed and then shot in the back. IMO that's all that really matters.

I mean sort of.
My litmus test for whether or not someone or not is credible - did they maintain the same position with Rittenhouse as Pretti? Taking a gun to either place wasn't a great idea - but well within someone's rights.
There's a plethora of people making the point that Pretti was within his rights that were screeching about Rittenhouse.
if Trump was elected largely in part due to the promise of mass deportations and he was failing to conduct mass deportations, would he direct high profile, distracting, and divisive ICE raids to take the attention off of his failure to succeed in mass deportations of the illegal immigrants? And if so, how would that look different than what is currently happening?

I still see plenty of difference. Rittenhouse brandished his weapon and then killed two people. Nothing is absolute. One of the takeaways for me was that while I thought he wasn't completely innocent, I recognize that he went through our judicial system and was found not guilty. So that factors into the Pretti situation.
There's a difference between absolutism and consistency.

The Epstein files are no different than Waiting for Godot.
It will NEVER happen in this administration. It must be bad, but the decision is this bad, is better than the releasing the files bad.

Let's not forget that we, the taxpayers, are funding the ICE dorks to parade around and infringe on individuals' rights. Oh, and they want more $$$, too.
And if you need a good rant, check this out.

I thought Rittenhouse was within his rights for the shooting. His mother needed her arse kicked for driving a minor to that situation. Bad parenting.

Yes. Rittenhouse openly carried (brandishing?).
There's a number of differences in actions that took place against different parties. Lots to be argued about the nuance of both.
The disqualifier is simply "he shouldn't have brought a weapon" or "he was looking for trouble" is plain victim blaming and isn't respective to either of their rights. Absolutely - you're not intellectually honest if you don't see the consistency there.

Meanwhile, on the fraud front:
"Vic Hartman, a former FBI special agent and forensic accountant in Atlanta, said the DOJ’s white collar investigation divisions have been decimated under Trump. Skilled professionals are leaving in droves, and federal crime-fighting agencies are under-resourced."
"“If the government wants to deport their way out of this fraud problem, they may be on a path and [Department of Homeland Security] can do that,” Hartman said. But if the end goal is prosecuting the offenders, “they’re doing all the wrong things.”

I kinda enjoy watching rioters getting a full blast of mace to the face. Seriously.
You’ve had some all time bits on here, but this is truly not your best work.
