Out of curiosity, is it only Biden that can control the weather or could Trump do it too?

He needed a bit of nuclear
Trump suggested dropping nuclear bombs into hurricanes to stop them from hitting the U.S.

I think what's going on is that its more comforting to think that your fight for survival is caused by unseen enemies out to deliberately starve you, than it is to believe that the economic system is so impersonal that it doesn't care if you live or die. As you know, the economic stress in rural areas is becoming more and more difficult to navigate. It just isn't workable to drive 40-50 miles every day for a job that pays so little, even if you can buy a house for $5k.

perhaps biden could be the messiah
Matthew 8:26 (KJV) - Forerunner Commentary
And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

You can buy a house for $5k?

Rural land prices have been rising, but yeah. It probably hasn't been lived in for 20 years and it needs some serious work though. There's been a mass exodus from rural areas so there's a lot of vacant houses. A $5K house is that price for a reason. Houses that have been updated and maintained will run you close to city prices.

It does them some credit.
It gels with what I hear from colleagues in the US who are gun owners too.

I'm a gun owner. I don't see a problem with anything on that list.

If they were purely a gun safety group, I'd probably be a member. They've decided to be a radical political arm of the gun industry instead. They've also branched off into far-right political stands that have nothing to do with guns. They've attacked abortion rights, supported authoritarian candidates, and want an amendment to make burning the flag illegal. That's pretty far outside their lane, if they want to characterize themselves as a gun safety group.

The reason I asked was that some time back there were some surveys where NRA members were also in general agreement about the need for better background checks and stuff like in that poll Fox was talking about.
This was when they were still pretty batshit by most standards, but was before Trump, so maybe the moment to capitalise on that has passed.

aye since the 1977 and Harlon Carter take over it stop being a gun safety group and became a lobbying arm for the industry
and magnet for crazys and then their was the right of the right. Fox news and finally trump
should be declared a domestic terrorist organisation and the US would be better off

need more info but
A Uvalde school police officer whose wife was killed in the Robb Elementary School shooting was detained and had his gun taken away as he tried to enter the hallway outside the classroom where his wife lay dying, Texas' top law enforcement official said Tuesday.
Ruben Ruiz, an officer with the Uvalde CISD police department, was then escorted from the scene of last month’s massacre after having his weapon seized, Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw told a state Senate committee. McCraw said Ruiz was detained and had his gun taken by other law enforcement officials, though he did not specify which agency did so.

I forced myself to the article, and reminded myself why I stopped reading about this tragedy.
If there ever was a situation where every single thing was messed up, this is it. I hope they teach new police just how fucked up it all was, .....
Totally, totally horrible and it upsets me that some may not have died if those in power looked after the situation properly.

Apparently burning is a proper way to dispose of a US flag.
Real iconoclasts wipe their asses with the flag.

I found this interesting. A state President within the NRA has resigned because he says the organization is afraid to investigate the causes of gun violence:
I bet it isn't even a week before we hear he's getting death threats.

A Colorado officer has been sued for fatally shooting a Good Samaritan who stopped an active shooter
Johnny Hurley took out and disarmed an active shooter. But a police officer saw Hurley holding the gunman's rifle, then fatally shot him from behind.

Apparently he was picking it up to remove the magazine if you read the article in 4194, rather different but yeh still unnecessary

Not a mass shooting, but a prime example of the insanity of gun violence: Somebody shot a Subway worker dead in front of her young son because he was angry about too much mayo on his sandwich.
