When you purchase a firearm, Form 4473 asks if you're legally a US citizen part of the background check process. Recently, a Liberal Federal Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman ruled that illegal aliens can have 2nd Amendment rights as well. What's the point of a background check now today then?

It’s still something how falcon and the winter soldier had the Dora Milaje operate in another country and do whatever they want and there are no red flags being raised about it?
Like I’m all for calling out America but what’s the difference with Wakanda doing it?
Fuck that’s not even mentioning Wakanda having sleeper cells in other nations too like….that’s actually some shady shit that they get away with and no one calls them out for it.
MCU just portraying Wakanda as the “ultimate good nation” who has sleeper cells and doing whatever they want with no repercussion.

now these are bones opinions and ive only seen like 3 episodes of naruto before i got bored but i gotta say: it IS weird that the show puts SO much emphasis on naruto coming from nothing and then makes his dad like, the ninja-president cause it feels like naruto is only impoverished bc the narrative needs to LOOK like it's important that he's in poverty
Smarter, more Naruto-centric blogs have discussed this odd retcon than I, but Nonny... let me just give you a sampler of how weird the retcon was.
(ALL of this is a retcon btw. We learn nearly everything about Naruto's lineage in one fell swoop.)
We find out that Naruto is actually the son of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze.
Kushina Uzumaki is one of the last known members of a super powerful bloodline who was renowed for being special vessels of "Tailed Beasts."
Not only are Uzumakis powerful and renowed, Kushina being a survivor of the collapse of a nation, but any other Vessel who lets lose a tailed beast out of their body typically dies. (Unless you're gaara, then ur protected by being a main character)
She was known as the newest vessel of the Nine-Tailed Fox, which is basically like Konoha's very important nuclear warhead. Having a nuclear warhead is a major political consideration for ALL nations as a deterrant against invasion.
Minato, meanwhile, was the Hokage. President Dictator of Konoha.
These Are Both Well Known People. These Are Political Figureheads.
And also Kushina and Sasuke's mother were personal friends. Sasuke's mom was aware her friend was pregnant.
But when a Vessel gives birth is apparently becomes a moment of weakness during which the Tailed Beast can pop out. They take precautions, but You Can't Thwart Stage One
Nine-Tailed Fox kills a bunch of people in its rampage and Minato seals the beastie into a baby before dying (this part is not a retcon this is established from like the 1st chapter)
But it turns out that actually Minato and Kushina did it together and put the beastie into THEIR OWN baby.
But this makes NO sense in hindsight... like, at all.
His last name is Uzumaki and NO ONE KNEW?
He NEVER LEARNED what an Uzumaki is?
He looks JUST like Minato, too, spitting image. And no one knows.
THE PREVIOUS DICTATOR PRESIDENT
In spite of it being KNOWN that Minato was married to the previous Nuclear Warhead Holder.
This one shows up with a Nuclear Warhead of his own and no one puts two and two together
Sasuke's Mom also never approaches the very obvious child of her friend. Only person in the whole village with her last name. Born around the same time that her pregnant friend vanished.
Making Tailed Beasts into Nuclear Warheads was also a mistake because why the hell is no one trying to kidnap this unwanted WEAPON if having and using them is a major political consideration???
But no we gotta make Naruto the specialist boy to have ever been born and he's so amazing and perfect and always destined for greatness because of his birth. Who cares how little sense it actually makes.
It's like Kishimoto wanted to have his cake and eat it too; have Naruto both come from poverty and humble beginnings, but also have been the chosen one all along who was always going to become the big damn hero. Frustrating.

giving ttpd a relisten on shuffle to freshen it up for me and i've got to say a lot of the songs are hitting quite a bit more now i'm out of Music Reviewer Mode and am now fully devoted to shoehorning these songs into blorbo thesis statements no matter what it takes. anyway i just thought about snowbaird while listening to the smallest man who ever lived and nearly started hyperventilating
