    A second cousin in the US put out a newspaper ad saying to vote for Trump as Biden was going to take away everyone’s guns. He dedicated it to his baby granddaughter, who I assume will be very grateful for this when she grows up.

        Holy shit, this is the first time I see trump not only being on the right side of things, but also speaking coherently.

        This confirms my conviction that I’m as much in an information bubble as the magas. We all are.

            I mean willing to remove assault weapons. I honestly don’t care how they are removed, the faster the better. Unless you support following strict process over the lives of people, I don’t see a problem with that.

                I don’t remember him saying that, but sure, whatever.

      I presume you are a bigger person than I am, because I would have asked him " sooo biden take your guns yet?"

        Better than that, a hurricane once flattened his house. So, while Biden hasn’t taken a gun from.him, Mother Nature (with the help of climate change?) took the lot.

          There is a certain schadenfreude here.

            If we weren’t hiding from.his offensive emails, someone would have probably sent him Nelson from the Simpson going “ha ha”.
