Too simplistic, and misses important points. The Democratic platform position on gun control - which is a civil liberty - is antiethical to many, many Libertarians. To a lot of them, that’s a make-or-break issue. They will flat-out never vote for someone they think will sign an AWB.

Not only was her margin pretty damned small, she didn’t even capture a majority of the popular vote. Believe me, if she was on the right end of the electoral college calculus and the wrong end of the popular vote, the Democrats would not care a whit - nor should they. Everyone went into this election understanding…

Their opinions aren’t well-formed. These are other people’s opinions which these kids have been force fed and are internalizing. I’d say the same thing for a 5yro who was happy Trump won - why are this kids’ parents stuffing their political opinions into him?

The undocumented kids _might_ have something else to worry about. That’s legit. Then again, that’s always been the case, Trump or not.

Of course. But let’s be real. Some, probably most, of these kids’ parents were responsible. I have a five year old and a two year old. We’re visibly Jewish, which means on the hit list for the more deplorable of Trump’s supporters. My kids are not concerned about the alt-right’s desire of gassing us and putting us in…

That’s all I could think about. Are these parents out of their fucking minds to feed their kids these terrifying ideas? Are they honestly telling their kids that SLAVERY is going to be reinstated? Are these teachers so blinded ideologically that they can’t figure out that’s not happening?

Correction: we absolutely had rationing and price controls.

That was pretty much the Democratic strategy for the Great Recession. Just sayin’.

Ah, good old intersectionality. Let’s keep on trying failed ideas, guys. Bound to work this time.

The Dems had all three branches for two years. Nothing happened. Trump pissed off a lot of Republicans in his run for the presidency. That will come back to haunt him.

At a certain point, even as a poor person, you’ve got to take some responsibility for the exercise of your rights. For example, you have a right to free speech; the government is not under any obligation to provide you the mechanisms for that right free of charge to your dwelling. They don’t need to pay for a place…

Worth noting is that the HDR support in some of these upgrades will also be available to the regular PS4. Wouldn’t mind a list that discussed that! I think I read a thread somewhere (NeoGAF?) where folks were reasonably impressed with the visual upgrade that HDR gave with one of the Infamous games.

The cynic thinks that this is basically DLC for board games. You bought the game, and they’re trying to figure out a way to charge you again for the content. I don’t believe for a second that they couldn’t devise a way to keep the reusability without physically destroying the game.

.46 lead ball weighs about 150gr. Power-wise, that’s about equivalent to 150gr 9mm rounds, but without the terminal effect enhancements of that you get from a modern jacketed hollow-point bullet. Wouldn’t want to be hit by either, of course.

Believe me, as someone whose spouse rode the Red Line regularly, I am under no illusions about the reliability of the system. But it exists, imperfect or not.

Driving west on the toll road is no problem - I did it for 3.5 years. It’s driving east and getting to sit in 30-45 minutes of stop-and-go to get on the Beltway that’s horrific.

The way I heard him describe it, you want your income stream to be like a bunch of spinning plates. You spin enough plates, it’s OK if one crashes to the ground, you just grab another and spin that one.

But it wasn’t 30 years ago. He printed his taxable income in one of his books, and it only started hitting a million bucks in like 2002 or so. I think he just got some real good deals on these cars, and collected them over a sustained period of time.

But the courts were the line of defense even with the original version of the VRA. District courts were the ones doing the review. I guess I’m not seeing the huge effective difference in “sue, get a preliminary injunction, fight it out for a few years” and “inspect law, fight it out for a few years”.

The changes I’m reading about on the PTS remind me very much of Diablo 3's Loot 2.0 changes and Destiny’s TTK changes, which is a very good thing. The way The Division is balanced pre-1.4, you’re basically grinding for rare-and-small upgrades, and the grind isn’t even fun due to the bullet sponge enemies, unstoppable…
