So according to the DOD -DIA, the definition of an ASSAULT WEAPON. “Assault rifles” are “short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between a submachine gun and rifle cartridges.”
So Kamala wants to Ban the US Military’s weapons and some Privately held Class 3 firearms?

Considering how many dead people vote dem, I'm surprised there isn't a dead person in Joe's cabinet. They did have dead Grand Cyclops Bob Byrd in the senate for a while, but he was still alive when last elected.

Zero Hedge waxes indignant that following a serious emergency the president — George W. Bush in this case — made a point of examining his legal options as chief executive.
Previously classified files obtained by the Brennan Center for Justice reveal that the 2004 George W. Bush administration conducted a holistic review of the president's emergency powers, with the goal of modernizing a set of secret plans for continuity-of-government in a nuclear war.
The George W. Bush Presidential Library turned over 500 out of 6,000 pages of the documents, known as "presidential emergency action documents" (PEADs), which "shed troubling new light on the powers that modern presidents claim they possess in moments of crisis," according to the Brennan Center, which obtained the records through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
PEADs were created during the cold war, when the chance of a Soviet nuclear strike was at its peak. Early drafts reportedly rested on broad interpretations of executive powers. According to official reports from the 1960s, various PEADs authorized the president to enact measures such as suspending habeas corpus, to detain "dangerous persons" within the country, to censor news media, and to prevent international travel.
In light if 9/11, one Bush administration official viewed updating the PEADs an "urgent and compelling security effort, especially in light of ongoing threats."
While the Brennan Center was unable to obtain more recent PEADs, the documents show "some of the most disturbing aspects of early-Cold War emergency action documents" were maintained at least throughout 2008.
Here are the specific findings via the Brennan Center:
CONTROLLING COMMUNICATIONS
At least one of the documents under review was designed to implement the emergency authorities contained in Section 706 of the Communications Act. During World War II, Congress granted the president authority to shut down or seize control of “any facility or station for wire communication” upon proclamation “that there exists a state or threat of war involving the United States.”
This frighteningly expansive language was, at the time, hemmed in by Americans’ limited use of telephone calls and telegrams. Today, however, a president willing to test the limits of his or her authority might interpret “wire communications” to encompass the internet — and therefore claim a “kill switch” over vast swaths of electronic communication.
And indeed, Bush administration officials repeatedly highlighted the statute’s flexibility: it was “very broad,” as one official in the National Security Council scribbled, and it extended “broader than common carriers in FCC [Federal Communications Commission] juris[diction].”
Other subheads:
Detention authority
Inhibiting the right to travel
Triggering other emergency powers

This was the blueprint for all the covid bullshit-- emergency decrees, suspending tort liability for Pfizer, suppressing speech, little tyrants imposing all the pointless mask then "booster" mandates. All of it was planned by the Bush administration's zealots
[FOX] Rebecca Parson, a Democratic socialist running for Congress in Washington State, defended her campaign video where she encouraged homeless people to break into vacant homes across the country to help her advance a potential housing bill if elected.
In an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters on Thursday, Parson, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America,
...the political arm of the communists. Of course they want to remove barriers to their militant arm overthrowing the government...
who is running to represent Washington's 6th Congressional District, defended her controversial campaign ad, but clarified that she was referring to empty houses owned by banks and "corporations like Zillow and BlackRock."
"I’m just pointing out the fact that there are 600,000 homeless people in this country, 40,000 homeless veterans and one in five homeless people are kids. Meanwhile, we have 28 empty homes for every homeless person," she said on "Jesse Watters Primetime." "So I’m calling on all of us to think about the empty homes that are owned by corporations like BlackRock, like Zillow, like the banks, that are owned by those companies, those large corporations and not being used for what they’re intended for, which is actually housing people."

If these squatters don't have to pay property taxes or maybe even get free utility services, can I get me some of that sweet, sweet "equal protection under the law?"?

I am sure many of us would be there to provide a Leg Up if the person is down on their luck and just needed a some temporary help.
But study after study tells us just over 1/2 of the Homeless chose to be or prefer to be on the streets.
A majority have serious Mental illness or drug and Alcohol issues.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The 5 areas with the most homeless in the USA are:
District of Columbia,
New York,
Hawaii,
Oregon,
and California.
These 5 make up 45+% of the entire US homeless population.
ALL long time controlled and ran Liberal Socialist Democrat Cesspools

Let's make real estate affordable by making it worthless. The best part of Marxism is the part where the poor people discover they are worse off than they were other than having more company.

Those be the ones that reject the usual requirements of no recreational drugs and no alcohol for the effective programs. Thank the judiciary for striking down vagrancy laws of old.
