Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The vote was 50-48 in favor of Kavanaugh.
Senators Collins, Flake, and Manchin had already announced their intentions to confirm Kavanaugh before the vote was held. Senator Lisa Murkowski, who was previously ready to vote "no", agreed to vote "present" instead so that Senator Steve Daines could attend his daughter's wedding instead of being present in the Senate to support Kavanaugh.

Fuck that. I want the shitstains on the hill to be afraid of those they govern. Left, right, I don't give a damn. They all need to be quaking in their boots so maybe they'll remember why oppressing Americans was a bad idea back in the 1700s and is still a bad idea now.

Unfortunately, it will likely take heads on pikes to get the shitstains to fear us. After all, they are comforted because they control the big guns.

Big guns are mostly good for blowing up structures and vehicles. Small arms are what you primarily need for killing humans and the citizenry has a hell of a lot more of those.

Two things. First, this is a generation (the third?) that has grown up on television. A .50 cal MG seems a peashooter to the television and movies bunch.
Second, Pslytely Psycho only says that the powers that be are comforted by their control of big guns. He makes no claim that the big guns have any special value, or powers.
But, yeah, a .22 is adequate for an assassination, if the shooter is competent. I prefer larger rounds, like .270, but the .22 will do the job.

Thank you. I perhaps should of expressed myself more clearly. Seems you got it squarely.
Peace out!
