If the Republicans are in favor of state’s rights, why are they now pushing a bill that would require every state to honor concealed carry permits from every other state? If they are the party of law and order, why are they ignoring all the law enforcement agencies that think that is a terrible idea?

You just replied to a very long post in which I explained how and why the Democrats allowed deregulation to happen on their watch and ended up being owned by Wall Street with a post saying it was their fault too.

As opposed to being on the verge of nuclear war with North Korea, undermining the NATO alliance and setting the Middle East on fire by declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel, earning worldwide condemnation?

Sure, they’d have done everything they could to stymie her. But without Trump generating endless cover, the fact that the GOP actively sought to conceal evidence that their candidate was being assisted by a hostile foreign power, as per every one of our intelligence services, might have actually been news, and we…

Did you know that the idea that the 2nd Amendment guarantees the individual right to bear arms is actually a recent concept that the NRA started pushing as a response to the civil rights movement? They built up that public perception brick by brick, lawsuit by lawsuit, like the one making it more difficult for DC to…

His name was Wright Patman. He spent decades investigating monopolies, high interest rates, the Federal Reserve, and big banks before he was ousted by young idealistic Democrats who had not lived through the Great Depression. Ralph Nader railed publicly about how stupid it was to get rid of him. This is quite…

Because McConnell threatened to accuse him of pushing a fake Russia narrative in order to help Clinton get elected, just like they are now insisting that the media is pushing a fake Russia narrative because they can’t accept Clinton lost. Obama let it go, because he, like everyone else, didn’t think Trump would…

They most certainly would have. However, we would not have had the chief executive doing everything they can to prevent law enforcement and intelligence agencies from investigating the depth of corruption on the Republican side while simultaneously working to destroy the nation’s faith in the media so that they would…

Do you know why the big banks got so much power that they destroyed the economy?

My roommate was a Bernie bro until a very long conversation in which I sketched out for him, in detail, how he was actually parroting GOP/Russian/Wikileaks talking points that were not actually true, and how the Republicans had spent tens of millions of dollars on phony investigations to make the American public think…

It’s newsworthy because the person they’re criticizing for being a doddering fool who is hopelessly out of touch proved their point by tweeting it out and thanking them for the honor, which made me glad I broke my vow to read no news whatsoever between Christmas and New Year’s.

Edgy, up and coming authors don’t get anthologized until they’ve become successful and critically acclaimed. They become successful and critically acclaimed by having their work published by by editors looking for edgy, up and coming authors. Playboy was one of the premiere showcases for new American writers,…

Or alternately, 12 realizing that his previous selves might have been a bit more sexist than he realized is what led to him eventually regenerating into a female body for the first time, just as the #MeToo movement has made many men realize just how pervasive and damaging even off-hand sexism can be, in a timely…

Just because you missed it, don’t mean it ain’t there.

Oh sure, but I’m talking about the sort of broad comic relief that appeals to children, usually provided by a guest star.

It’d be a lot easier if women’s clothes had usable fucking pockets.

It was certainly a very atypical Christmas special. There were no children, no comic relief, and no big bad, really. I’m sure I would have liked it more if I had not been tipsy and expecting those things!

I’ve never been interested in finding more ways to waste more time on the internet than I already do, and have been glad of that decision as the ethical problems become ever more clearer.

I’m not entirely sure what was caught and where and when, nor what the consequences were, and yet I want to know.

Aw, thanks. I’m limited in how much I can share them as I won’t use Facebook, but if you do, share away! : )
