Word is the House is insisting on putting the suppressor and SBR stuff back in and wanting Vance to overrule the Parlaimentarian. We'll know if the fix is in if the WH tells them to keep it out.
The House R has to realize this is the easiest win to get all the gun people extremely happy and motivated. The blue are gonna grip about everything but this win, even if it just for silencers, would get pretty much every gun owner motivated and charged up. Probably even get a shit ton more volunteers to sign up for voting at Gun Shows.

The Representative who originally added the removal of SBRs and suppressors from the NFA to the BBB introduced an amendment to readd it:

This isn't a shock to anyone that's been paying attention to the Libertarians for years, we've noticed the change in the parties ideals and have been aware that they've been co-opted by the Democrats for a very long time, but I really wish there was some deeper journalism into this topic to try and show younger Libertarians out there that they are being scammed. Little things like this are all that we have right now, it would be nice if it lead to a larger investigation by someone.
 
People like to make fun of America for being a relatively young country but all these African countries are just Frankenstein abominations consisting of different tribes of unga bungas that all loathe each other that have been stitched together by European colonial administrators before the few niggers there with brain cells turned to Marxism and chimped out at whitey until whitey got tired of tard wrangling them after fighting 2 World Wars and left them only for them to immediately start fighting each other. There was no Somalia before the British and Italians carved it up. At least America underwent some form of ethnogenesis before separating from Britain, and ever since America has only ever suffered 1 civil war, which only lasted 4 years instead of the decades long African ones.
 
My biggest worry for Trump's second term was Congress playing games. I'm very happy to see the GOP getting its shit together just enough to push Trump's legislative agenda. The Democrats don't know what to do now that the GOP has its eye on the ball for the first time in 20 years.
They are pushing enough through to make an impact. Yes they left shit out. We got 3.5 years left to try again.
 
From the abstract, I read this as "despite the awful conditions and murderous labor, we still performed and sang and the guards didn't stop us." I will argue that this is far removed from Japanese internment camps who were either allowed to bring their own instruments in or they were provided by the camps. I think your main point is "forced internment is retarded" but comparing it to places like Auschwitz just makes the Japanese internment camps feel like summer camp, and that much more acceptable.

I'm late to this discussion and don't even know why it came up but I know a lot about the Japanese internment camps and I don't know why anyone would compare them to the German camps. They weren't the same thing. The reasoning for the incarceration wasn't the same and organization wasn't the same. The Japanese were a single extremely cohesive community who were locked away because of security concerns, both because of fears of traitor in their midst but also so that a wartime government wouldn't have to waste resources protecting them and their property from civil unrest - this is often phrased as humanitarian but really California and Hawaii just didn't want anti-jap riots during wartime. Japanese-Americans were close to entirely selfgoverning within the camps. It wasn't a question of them being "allowed" to bring instruments or anything - the internment wasn't punitive, it was practical, so the US expected the Japanese to just keep on keeping on. They ran schools, they ran scout troops, they kept to as close a normal life as possible.
 
Not entirely sure what Miller's goals are by wasting his breath decrying the Libertarians as though it's this massive voting bloc.
I am absolutely not shocked that a libertarian doesn't understand why libertarians are being rhetorically attacked by the main proponent of a bill whose main internal (and thus actually relevant) opposition are all lolberts in congress threatening to use Elon "Fuck Your Face With H1Bs" Musk's money to help the left if they don't get what they want (more migrants and less deportations).

It's all just wasted breath! Who could understand this deep political conundrum? It's just all so mysterious.
 
But it "passing" was only a 50/50 split with Vance being the tie breaker. This bill is dead.
That is a sign of a working political party pushing through legislation that isn't supported by every member. You whip exactly enough people into shape and you make sure every one of them votes the way you expect them to. Those numbers aren't some nice coincidence of the senators' conscious set to change if the bill changes.
