[Intensesaint]

A place for all the gaffs, slip-ups and overall outlandish things Democratic candidates will say or do in lead up to the 2020 Election.

Warren would wipe the floor with Trump. Sanders likely, as well.

And they're both fantastic candidates for president who would accomplish great things for our country.

Elizabeth Warren? The queen of woke has been a horrible candidate. She has the worst political instincts of any candidate. She should take her 8 delegates and go home.

I care little for “political instincts” and more for sound policy, intelligence, consistent demeanor, and experience.

But I can see where that doesn’t make sense for someone who enjoys the reality show.

So that means they should have the right to things that other people do not have a right to?

No, everyone currently has the right to a security detail if they want it. I said minimike has a greater NEED for security, not a right.

If the law made the firearms carried by his detail illegal, then they shouldn't be able to use those firearms.

part of the reason the security is required is because of the availability of firearms.

We have to start looking at 50 year solutions to the gun problem. Target manufacturing first. Eventually the number of guns on the streets will become more manageable.

And that's that.

 

[Beach Friends]

Wealthy people often have a higher need for security than the rest of us.

Are you disputing that fact?

Are you suggesting that only wealthy people have a need for security? Or that us regular folk never have a heightened need?

Who gets to draw the line of when someone's risk is high enough and when it is not? The likes of Bloomberg? I can't decide that for myself but he can?

Everyone may have a right to a security detail but that is like opposing gay marriage by saying everyone has the right to marry someone of the opposite sex. The fact is that Bloomberg has fought concealed carry while using the benefits of protection from people having concealed carry permits - his security detail. Another example of "some people are more equal than others."

Yeah, giving a 9 year old who doesn't really know the power to say "yay" or "nay" over cabinet members demonstrates we can trust her to make "sound policy" decisions.

It's illustrative of the fact that she will base her decisions on the most bizzare pandering imaginable.

Is there some law that prevents you from having a security detail?

It's just so hard to take these lines of attack seriously when there's so many equal, yet opposite problems, with your candidate.

When it comes to policy, the fact of the matter is, Warren is stronger than Trump.

Owing guns and wanting guns to be illegal isn't really a conflict.

A guy who has a gun at home for protection, but thinks guns should be banned is not a hypocrite.

 

[Beach Friends]

Is there a law that says I can't defend myself?

 

[samiam5211]

No, what is your point?

Making it harder for people to protect themselves (the real point of the "right to a security detail") while using the same means to protect yourself is indeed placing yourself as being "more equal" than others.

Yeah, well there is a Trump thread where you can go and post all you want about him.

There is no getting around this - you are stuck with a choice between a man with dementia who the voters don't want and a socialist who the DNC does not want.

Who do you think is going to prevail? I'm thinking the DNC.

Biden doesn't have dementia and Bernie isn't a socialist.

Has anything Bloomberg done prevented someone from hiring a security detail?

 

[JimEverett]

Has anything Bloomberg done prevented someone from hiring a security detail?

LOL.

What is the point of a security detail? It is protection. And yes, Bloomberg is trying to make it harder for people to protect themselves.

 

[samiam5211]

LOL.

What is the point of a security detail? It is protection. And yes, Bloomberg is trying to make it harder for people to protect themselves.

So Bloomberg has not done anything that would make it harder for someone to hire a security detail like the one he has.

I don't think you really have a point here.

It's like saying that a billionaire who has an effective tax rate of 10% is a hypocrite for calling for higher taxes on billionaires because he's not voluntarily paying more than required.
