If I have a gun but the government doesn’t care, am I not exercising my 2a rights?

No, you are not.

You have a right to not be unduly burdened by the government in owning or procuring a gun.

It does not follow that because the government is not allowed to arbitrarily restrict your ability to own a gun, you therefor have a “right to own a gun”. For example, if you do not own a gun, and everyone who does own a gun doesn’t want to give/sell you a gun, your 2a rights were not violated.

….....................................

Putting up a lost cat flyer, and having some random person yell at you for it is not exercising the “right to free speech” (for either party).

You have a right to not be unduly burdened by the government in speech/expression.

It does not follow that because the government is not allowed to arbitrarily restrict your speech/expression, you therefor have a right to speech/expression in all contexts. For example, if you want to go on a rant about your personal beliefs, the government unduly burdened you. However this will not stop the owner of the grocery store from calling the cops to have you trespassed for bothering all of the customers.

It says a lot about the site when I'm immediately prompted to "ASK A DOCTOR ONLINE"... Oh and they make it really easy for me to make a tweet sensationalized it too, like real journalists do!

This isn't news, it's fear mongering propaganda. There's PLENTY of stuff to criticize china about. This is normal scientific/medical research.

There isn’t even a cogent reason provided for what problem is being caused by trans folks.

Doesn't need to be. The target audience aren't deep thinkers.

I honestly don’t know why

He did some skits on SNL as trump and trump got really butt-hurt about it.

I too thought it was about burning the poo poo....

These aren't comparable.

Trump wanted to attack a sovereign nation, unprovoked. That would start a war.

Biden is attacking Houthi Rebel In Yemen. They are not a sovereign nation and have been literally attacking us and others in the region. This will not start a war.

An Advice of Counsel defense is basically saying "I'm not responsible for my actions because my lawyer said it was legal for me to do." If that's the case, Attorney Client Privilege is waved and all communication between trump and his lawyers (that said "it was OK", not the current lawyers) should be provided as evidence. Basically provide the evidence to support the AoC defense.

It's basic discovery. trump is stalling for time, and cannon is helping. If trump goes with the AoC defense, day one of the trial is going to be him claiming AoC and the prosecutors asking for the relevant evidence to review which will stall the case because they'll 'need at least a month to get all the records together' and then the prosecutors will need to review them, and I'm certain it will be the most unorganized mess handed off. Like shitty scans of faxes of the emails all off center and slightly rotated..... So OCR will be a nightmare.

Portal64 required you to have access to one file from portal 1, portal_pak_000.vpk. It's trivial to get that file. Either via google, or purchasing Portal, extracting the file, then getting a refund.

Revolution requires a continuously working copy of Portal 2.

It's significantly easier for the general population to play Portal64 without giving money to Valve than Revolution.

I think it's just a bunch of people reading through all of the laws and looking for any way it can be forgiven without congress, and without the SCOTUS.

On Thursday, Abbott was subject to widespread criticism when asked where the line was for him in terms of border enforcement mechanisms he suggested the only reason Texas is not shooting migrants crossing the border “is because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder.”

uhhh what?
