It was reported he was taken off suicide watch…after he tried once already? Once the report was unsealed.

Why Wasn’t Jeffrey Epstein on Suicide Watch When He Died? (Published 2019)

Prison officials took the disgraced financier off a suicide watch 12 days before he hanged himself in his cell.

I don’t know why you’d need black ops to take someone out in prison, even with the high profile clients he had. You could probably just hire anyone in there or just throw dude to the wolves.

He’ll 100% get a second term if something gets done here

LMAO Trump lining himself up to ease into a 2nd term with no resistance if he gets something passed. Dems will be sitting there looking like some damn fools.

Common Sense . . . . . how about that.

If this goes through, he’ll get a second term and ride easy all the way to the ballot box because of it. Nothing like a crisis to keep you in office.

Honestly he be an idiot not to milk the crisis for everything its worth.

How are they going to define what constitutes as mental illness and derangement?

Mike_MF_Hall · 2019-08-11T18:10:47.453Z

It’s a genius political move. Even if it’s just bullshit and he actually has no interest in having something pass and the bill has “attachments”. The optics would be that he tried. Dems can’t block it because it looks terrible.

If it passes he forces them to cut their own throats going into 2020.

I just wonder how the NRA die hards would take it

It will get him reelected. Zero fuxs given.

Fair point

Past history, court records. Ect.
Have you been already once declared deranged by the state, or have court records showing that you have a history of criminal activity due to mental health issues. Have your family gone to court to have you declared insane.

Keep in mind the term Insane is more of a legal term than a medical one.
Since the question of sanity or insanity is a legal question and not a medical one.
In Psychology and Neuroscience the term Insanity is never used, you have more concise language like psychosis, dementia, delusions, hallucinations, ect.

Insanity

Insanity, madness, lunacy, and craziness are behaviors performed by certain abnormal mental or behavioral patterns. Insanity can manifest as violations of societal norms, including a person or persons becoming a danger to themselves or to other people. Conceptually, mental insanity also is associated with the biological phenomenon of contagion (that mental illness is infectious) as in the case of copycat suicides. In contemporary usage, the term insanity is an informal, un-scientific term denot...

NRA bout to pony up bout how current events helped them empathize and they are behind the president 100%. Holy shit everybody gonna eat it up and the Dems get checkmated cause they’ll look like shit if they refuse to back it.

The senate (GOP majority) already shut down a bill. That’s definitely gonna be brought up.

Senate Blocks Obama-Era Rule Tightening Checks On Mentally Ill Gun Buyers

The GOP-led Senate voted Wednesday to roll back a rule that would have restricted some people with severe mental illnesses from buying firearms. The legislation now heads to President Trump's desk.

Yet GOP lawmakers have argued that the regulation was needlessly heavy-handed, painting people with mental illnesses with too broad a brush and infringing on their constitutional rights. The Associated Press reports that Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, a leading Republican critic of the rule, said it is filled with “vague characteristics that do not fit into the federal mentally defective standard” prohibiting someone from buying or owning a gun.

“If a specific individual is likely to be violent due to the nature of their mental illness, then the government should have to prove it,” Grassley said, according to the news service.

The NRA and the American Civil Liberties Union also opposed Obama’s rule — the NRA for its restrictions on the Second Amendment, the ACLU for the possibility it would stereotype the mentally ill as violent.

Sounds familiar. I’m guessing the bill that’s going to be floated is going to run into the same issues of “filled with “vague characteristics that do not fit into the federal mentally defective standard” prohibiting someone from buying or owning a gun.”

The food writer at the San Antonio Express-News also reported on the newfound fame of the already popular barbecue restaurant:

We are now officially in the age when barbecue is no longer safe from the bureaucrats — not even a San Antonio institution like Bill Miller Bar-B-Q. And I say the state needs to be separate from the church of smoke.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott came to the immediate defense of Miller, posting a photo on Twitter of a barbecue plate and stating: “Perfect night for @BillMillerBarBQ.”

Andrew Yang Breaks Down in Tears at Iowa Gun Control Forum

I really want Yang to get the nod for the Dems to go to the general election, but I think someone above got it right; that it’s probably gonna be Warren. I won’t vote for Warren because she wants to break up big tech companies for being boogeymen.

Infernoman · 2019-08-12T01:11:06.811Z

I predict that the radical left will just mold the DNC into their own vision of it. The RNC will slide a bit into being the old DNC.
