Meanwhile... In the bit of America that you don't see on Fox, CNN, or some YouTuber's basement newsroom...

I didn't really see anything to kick off the sh*tstorm that's erupted. It's a sad day though, when the best rebuttal the leader of free world can come up with is if you don't like it you can f*ck off somewhere else. It's like the Daily Fail comments section is running the show!

That's terrible, mate but what has a catholic priest being shoved off a stage in Brazil coupled with a picture of the Donald got to do with the price of tea in China? Maybe she was pissed at the church's child care policies?

Not sure if this has been posted before but I finally got to watch this over the weekend. My sons bought it for me for Father's Day. It's a WW1 documentary and Peter Jackson has taken hundreds of hours of film footage from the Great War. Restored it. Colourised it and added sound. It's one of, if not the best, documentary I've ever seen. I watched the making of it straight afterwards to see how he actually did it and I can't see anyone here that would call it anything other than a masterpiece. Must see.

That's exactly my point though, mate. Your government squanders it's resources and your oceanic wall against everyone is f*ck*ng useless because of that. Yet I'm expected to believe that spending billions of $'s on an artificial wall is somehow going to make the problems on the southern border simply vanish because a reality TV star is beyond criticism. Your government's foreign policy has taken government healthcare, government run education, and government run housing and stretched it beyond coping... There's a massive common denominator there. Again Britains immigration should be at zero be

Remove oil subsidies. When the true cost of plastic is passed on to the consumer the market with adapt.
-
That's the problem though, mate. It's not black and white. Never has been, never will be and that's why you can't see the base of an argument. You have the largest border wall in existance. Why is illegal immigration into the UK not zero?

Look at his 180 on foreign policy since he hired Bolton...
-
That's a little disingenuous, mate. Sure you can disagree with the reasons but those reasons are valid concerns with those of us that will actually have to cough up the money for this vanity project when it could be spent better elsewhere. I don't trust government and I'll be damned if I'm going to make it bigger because someone thinks throwing billions into concrete is going to fix a multi-facetted issue that's been centuries in the making.

How about asking the people that actually live on the border? Work on the border? And regularly legally cross the border for commerce? You'll find that it's not the hell hole you're making it out to be. If you want to bring in gang violence the US has plenty of homegrown problems that aren't being tackled at all and once more the miopic attention given to immigration is massively costly and does not address a massive chunk of the issues at hand. A wall is purely symbolic and takes away resources from the agencies that actually need it to combat the all the problems you've listed both real and

The 2nd Amendment was ratified in 1791 with the rest of the bill of rights. It doesn't grant rights as rights are inalienable it simply guarantees those rights are to be respected in the union. Don is president and is a section of government. He's the head of the executive branch which makes him head of state and commander in chief of the military. Don has championed these changes in the law which directly violate the 2nd, 5th and 14th amendments to the constitution respectively. The 2A is the right to bear arms. The 5A and 14A outline the right to due process of law. Don is not a supreme

They're being sued again...

If Boris wins, and it looks likely, when do you reckon the next general election will be and do you think it will improve Corbyn's chances for Labour?
-
Depends who you ask. Everyone wants border security. Not everyone wants a wall. Funny how Don has gone from withdrawing troops from the middle east to threatening Iran with reprisals. A complete 180 on the rhetoric that saw the resignation of Jim Mattis. It's almost like he hired a neo-con as a national security advisor... Like the guy that helped goad another president into a conflict that's spanned nearly two decades.

We were promised the Hearing Protection Act which removes the $200 tax stamp for supressors and removes them from the NFA. We were also promised concealed carry reciprocity at the federal level which would validate those of us who have concealed carry permits to carry in any state in the union. Since the election we've seen a 180 shift on his stance... Don now supports so called Red Flag laws that allow people suspected of being a threat to have their porperty confiscated by state and federal law enforcement bodies. This is an attack on the 2A and violates the 5A and 14A also. Do

It might be good if it was actually happening. One of Don's proudest achievements and one touted much earlier in this thread was how he'd cut border crossings down to record lows in just the first few weeks of his presidency. It was yuuuge! Now they're right back up to a level not seen for a decade and a half and spanning three presidents... However his third attack on the bill of rights, since taking office strikes at the core document from the founding of the nation. He's enacted more gun control than the mighty Barry Obama... Taking away people's rights is tyranny just ask the EU, the

More like the D-Days...

Great thanks, mate! Yourself? Looking at the current state of affairs I don't think there's too much to worry about. Don's pretty much proved that he's that he's business as usual in Washington. It's working out a lot like Brexit. Big upset at the polls but when you get into the meat and potatoes of it you realise that you've been lied to and there's no way they're scuttling the gravy train. Interesting to see that AOC's got her feet firmly under the desk as she's firmly in favour of the House voting itself a $4500 pay raise in order to keep the dark money out of politics. To the

It was a pleasure to read, mate! Looks more than worth the hassle of putting it together! I burned all my likes in this thread. Not a single mention of [redacted] or [redacted]... A THL first for me!

Ronnie in 1980... Bill in 1991... Donnie in 2016... Gotta love that political b*llsh*t!

Which caliber would you pick ?
ChrisJones replied to shovel leaner's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Different circumstances for me based on geographical location but I'd go .223. It's up to almost anything and when paired with right rifle it's pretty handy against all forms of pest. Easy to source. Cheap to feed. Rifle parts and accessories are everywhere. -
Bravo, Sir! Bravo! Thread of the year contender for sure! Thanks for the write up it was nice to get away from the real world for a bit!

Google is your friend, mate! Have a dig through the virtual library! I'm going fishing!

Fair one. That's taking trauma up to an 11!
