Rolling back the Obama era

[red321]

Good or bad, congress is using various methods to rollback the Obama era. 

Lets start with the bad. Congress is rolling back prohibition of people flagged as mentally incompetent from using SS benefits from buying guns  

banned Social Security beneficiaries from buying guns if their disability payments are handled by an outside party due to their ‘marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease.’”

I think this is a very gray area.  Denying someone of a Constitutional right due to a disability is not good

"I think red is mentally disordered. No guns for him."

 

See how easy it is for someone with authority to strip a man of his constitutional rights?

Yeah, you just said that and Red was literally in the middle of purchasing a gun and got cock-blocked.  That's exactly how it would happen.

You're right. It will go smoothly without any problems just like everything else involving government.

You're arguing against your own statement.

Trump has done a good job of replacing Obama's "Uhhh"s with "very"s and "people tell me"s

Apparently Trump and Friends are happy to embrace the new unemployment numbers.  That part can stay from the Obama "era".  Even tho you guys may remember Trump thought those were lies.  We had 40 percent unemployment.

If that's how mental incompetence was identified, you might have a salient point. 

You don't have a salient point.

Drinking water vs. protecting the dying coal industry?

 

The Senate voted 54-45 to scrap a rule designed to limit the dumping of mining waste in local waterways. The Stream Protection Rule was put in place by the Department of the Interior in the final days of the Obama administration, tightening standards for contamination of water and restoration of streams damaged by mining operations. The House approved the rollback Wednesday.

He's distracted. He's busy working to ensure government backed healthcare for all that he doesn't believe in.

[mtangelsfan]

So nothing about denying constitutional rights.

Are you in a hurry? The man has only been in office a couple weeks.

Unless you're C. Montgomery Burns, how can you be happy about this?

Well, don't keep me in suspense...

so what's to be done here? you're willing to make deadly weapons available to people who are not mentally competent to use them appropriately? why? how many kids in schools have been shot by mentally unstable people who had access to weapons? on in churches, or theaters? where do we draw the line on this one, mt?

[UndertheHalo]

Apparently the Eisenhower era is in the cross hairs as well.

They should end the tax exempt status of churches and let them support or donate to whoever they want.

This is what should happen. Unfortunately I don't think it will anytime soon.
