Meanwhile, Jeb has been eating jimson weed again:
Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.) said early Tuesday that his brother, George W. Bush, is probably the "most popular president" among Republicans. "My brother, if you did the polling and actually looked at it - he's probably the most popular president amongst Republicans in this country," Jeb Bush said on MSNBCs Morning Joe.
"The whole idea that he's a burden - any mistakes I've made are my own," the 2016 GOP presidential candidate continued. "I'm honored to be part of that family. All the psychobabble that goes along with it, I've gotten over it. You guys can meditate on your navels about that - I'm not."

I'm not going to fisk the whole thing, but here's 2 of them:
1. Ammon Bundy's loan from the Small Business Administration
The Small Business Administration (SBA) offers a loan guarantee program for businesses that don't qualify for assistance in the private credit market. As Mother Jones reported, Ammon Bundy, the ringleader of the Malheur takeover bemoaning federal overreach, got a $530,000 loan from the SBA in 2010 for his truck maintenance business in Arizona, costing taxpayers over $22,000. What the loan was used for or whether or not Bundy repaid it is not listed in public records.
He took out a loan. So? Notice also that it says "costing taxpayers over $22,000". The link in the article actually says "The government estimated that this subsidy could cost taxpayers $22,419." (bolding mine). How? I haven't the foggiest, but most of the time when places like Mother Jones say something like that it means "Govt made a loan at X% and if he'd gone to the bank it would have been X+1%, therefore the govt didn't get the +1% so that loan "cost" the govt whatever the +1% totals", even if the loan is paid in full, P+I. It's the same logic that calls a smaller than wanted increase in spending a "cut".
3. Ranchers get huge discounts on leases of public land
In Nevada, home of the Bundy family, 80 percent of the state's land is owned by the federal government. But ranchers get to lease that land for their own private businesses at a huge discount. According to an investigation by The Atlantic, the lease discount program cost taxpayers anywhere from $52 million a year to $200 million, when accounting for all of the administrative overhead involved in managing the program.
And if the ranchers were allowed to own the land themselves instead of being forced to lease from the BLM this wouldn't be an issue. Notice the logic: BLM takes over land, charges a fee for ranchers to use that land, and the administrative cost of all of this is classified as "costing taxpayers money". Go away. Disband the BLM. Let ranchers do as they will with the land they own. See how much money that saves? I'm a genius!

They don't. They're counting on the basic law-abiding nature of 90% of gun owners to fall into line. Which is ironic since the left has caterwauled for decades that guns are only owned by latent murderers and criminals with small penises.

I'd sell two in a heartbeat to avoid the FFL rules, just to become a dealer and to be able to buy at wholesale. And by "avoid FFL rules", I mean all of the ones that ran a lot of home FFL's out of business.

I just think it would be impossible to enforce the executive order making casual sellers dealers after two transactions
the only thing it could be used for would be to punish people after the fact, like when the gun is used in crime by someone else
but how can you prosecute someone for violating an executive order that is not written into the law?
I dont think you can

Why would I spend the money and have that background check done on myself to get a FFL to sell a weapon so I can then do a check on the buyer?
Clearly Obama is an idiot or maybe not. The transactional costs of this would make private sales even more costly, which mean those sales will become even more hidden.
So now any sale will become a "black market" sale, which is what ATF wants.

I agree with you that this is basically gun control theater. But that doesn't mean it should be ignored, that it isn't outrageous, that we shouldn't push back.
But in general, I think Obama wants to look like he is really doing something rather than really doing something.
It must grate him to know that even after multiple mass shootings he cannot move the public on gun control. And in fact seems to be moving the public in the opposite direction.

Eh. I like Klavan. He's usually on target. Plus he writes good books.
But, I think a lot of Republicans see Rubio like Democrat saw Obama-
as a great shot to nominate/elect a Black Guy instead of some old white guy from their party.
Rubio is even better in some ways:
1) While Obama's not a gargoyle. In no way, is he a handsome man.
Rubio is pretty much a exact copy of a Kewpie Doll with darker, better (though rapidly thinning hair)
2) Rubio is a very convincing speaker. And a passionate one.
Much more so than Obama's above it all bored with you lowly turds, i am the way speechifying
3) Like Obama, he knows who are and serves his masters or at least does their bidding to get cash for himself and his cronies.
Only Rubio showed this aspect too early. If he'd kept this aspect hidden to his voters and let the GOPe types in on who he really was in secret-
Yes. He would be probably be the favorite in the polling.
For instance, right now, he's fighting to end Due Process.
WTF? Right?
So, he while he will never be Prez. I expect he will do quite well on FOX and MSNBC or whoever as the new pet conservative commenter.

It's the MSM, so they're slow about these things, but it was funny to watch because she was all "why won't the other candidates see he's doing this?".

The good judge Napolitano was on F&F this morning, and he said that if the EO's include a provision to limit private transactions by requiring an FFL, a Federal judge will immediately strike it down because there has been three different bills go through Congress attempting to do the same thing and all were defeated by bipartisian votes. He said that the executive branch cannot revive and "pass" legislation through EO's that congress has defeated.
He gave the example of Obama's EO granting illegals legal status that was struck down by the federal judge last year.

This was not delegated to the POTUS by the consitution or Congress and it is not in the undelying legislation he is relying on its not a lawful order
Posted by: ThunderB
The EO part of Obama's proposal isn't out yet, all we have are the talking points, but if you read an actual EO they explicity refer to either the constitutional powers or the legislation that gives the President the ability to take action.
As such, they have the force of law, until a court rules otherwise. And since the Congress in their wisdom has passed a gazillion laws about everything under the sun, there's always some law that can be used.
But feel free to be a test case.

Hey Vic (or anyone else) was the use of EEOC in the last thread a
reference to Equal Employment Opportunity Commission? Or something else?
It seemed to be used in a more homegrown fashion to refer to corruption
generally.
Posted by: Ghost of kari at January 05, 2016 10:02 AM (xuouz)
Yes, the EEOC which was a part of the 1964 civil rights act. iT is used by racists and Democrats (BIRM) to hinder elections, sue employees who fire worthless blacks, and be a weapon against Republicans in general when Democrats are in the executive. It should have been eliminated long ago. It was supposed to be only around for 5 years but no federal agency EVER goes away.

Prosecuting (persecuting) through regulatory actions is worse than civil or criminal law. There are almost no rights to the accused; lax/nonexistent rules of evidence; and the accused still has to spend beaucoup bucks to defend.
The purpose is harassment. The result is it works.

He most certainly can and most certainly will. It is called lawfare. Anyone who violates his XO in effect violates the gun control act because he has tied the order to the act via the definition of a gun dealer.
And all of you people saying a two sales/deals are not correct. As the article I saw described it, the wording does not include an exact number it leaves that to circumstances or bureaucrats. IN a telephone conversation with reporters the WH says they "could" go for only one".
So if you give little Johnny a squirrel rifle for Christmas and don't have an FFL and apply for a background check you have committed a felony and so has little Johnny. Sure you can probably beat the rap because it is unconstitutional as hell; IF you have several hundred thousand dollars to fight it all the way to the Supreme court.

I don't suppose it helps pointing out that NPR is government (lefty government) sponsored propaganda does it?
She is technically right that Obama has not used EOs as much as some of his predecessors. But that misses the point. Obama's EOs, unlike his predecessors, are used to make huge changes in law. Previously, they were mostly used to help clarify laws or help enact them.
But her interpretation is what you get when you listen to the soothing tones of government propaganda on NPR.

Rep. Dave Brat, R-Va., said Republicans in Congress will attempt to cut funding for any executive orders on gun control, but the legislative body has already given up much of its leverage by passing the omnibus budget bill just before Christmas. Thank You Ryan, RINOs and SHILLs

A friend of mine works at Princeton and repeated the lefty tripe about 1 in 5 college girls being sexually assaulted. I laughed out loud, startling the table of Concerned People, and asked her if she was sure about that number. Think about it, I said: you have three thousand women at Princeton, roughly, and not a one of them shy or srupid. So if there had been even one rape or sexual assault, wouldnt that be on the tip of every rongue? If there were actually 600 assault victims there it would be a big story. Hell, it would be national news if a Princeton woman was raped on campus, and 600 victims would have the National Guard out. Last year in the whole town there wasnt a reported rape, much less at the University. Its an insane statistic.
I enjoyed the conversation that followed greatly and afterwards her husband came up to thank me for stating the obvious (ie, its all bullshit) . He actually told me he is hoping his wife comes to her senses and stops repeating these mass hysterias. This is good.
There is hope for some Democrats!

Millennials are fast moving, and high-speed rail provides a transportation infrastructure to support that. The high-speed rail network would provide many benefits for millennials by offering faster travel and more job opportunities #8211; both directly through the addition of high-speed rail jobs and the ability to commute to a wider variety of job markets, and indirectly through the increased job opportunities that will be seen with a thriving economy, for which high-speed rail can lay the foundation.

Of course not, he just makes stuff up as he goes along. It's his MO, like all the lies he was telling to sell Obamacare. He thinks he's such a persuasive speaker we'll believe anything he says, i.e. he lies because he doesn't respect us to know the difference.

It's that damn NRA don't you know. If he could just have all its members kneel in front of a ditch and shoot each one in the head, he could then enact common sense gun control laws.

Easy. There is no operation because conservatives don't trust you or the Dems and know any reasonable proposal is just a first step to something far worse. Is that so hard?

Seems that the Social Security Admin is going to start a gun registration database.
They are now tasked with ensuring that Seniors who are mentally incompetent, do not have, nor can buy, guns.
In order to do that they will need Doctors doing Medicare to ask patients about their guns....
This will create MILLIONS of law breakers....

What I cannot comprehend is why any human being with a shred of self respect and dignity would consent to be a "stand behind me" prop for ANY politician of ANY persuasion.

Where Gupta is wrong, however is what options are available to the United States. We can stop worrying about collateral damage and just kill all the bad guys. As for the people living in ISIS controlled areas who get killed because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time, well, they were living in an ISIS controlled area.
To make that sort of mass casualties politically acceptable, it would be essential to minimize the number of news cycles that would report on it. You do that in two ways. You do the killing in one busy day before the news media can fly their celebrity reporters to the scene and you make sure you have another story to push the war out oc the news cycles.
