There is absolutely nothing safe about placing your loaded pistol on a table in arms’ reach of other people.

Sure, he’s not compensating for anything, he just felt the need to ‘whip it out’ at a table just to remind everyone how tough he is.

Ooooo nice take, are only people who have actually been worked into a work-related, stress-driven panic attack allowed to comment on the subject?

If I was a public servant, I would fully expect to lose my job for maybe the first couple words of that shitty tweet.

Paying to watch Iron Maiden play for 2 solid god damn hours was an extremely sound investment and I will hear nothing to the contrary

Deported to a country and into a situation that will almost certainly kill him. You should go find the fuck you left lying around. It will make you a better person.

I don’t know if proclaiming him a genius is exactly correct, more like he’s the futurist of our times, the outrageously rare individual who not only has some extremely grand, almost naively childish visions of an incredible future, but *also* happens to have the resources to attempt to pursue it.

He’s a dreamer in the rawest sense... not every dream is gonna work out, but he has the resources to keep trying, so. Yeah.

Deportation is still absolutely the most inhumane ‘solution’ and punishment for the crime. We protested against Guantanamo too, because torturing criminals, no matter how terrible they are, is not ok either.

To be fair, ten years ago the idea of ‘land rocketship on an autonomous drone platform in the ocean’ was pretty spectacularly stupid, too.

I’m happy to take whatever bad crap that Musk is related to - largely the shitty work environments, by all accounts - for all the good he’s doing, particularly in advancing our species in the arena of space and pushing every major auto manufacturer towards doing more with electric sooner rather than later.

This is starting to sound almost like the birth of an entire political party. I like it.

Anyone who fears for their life so easily should never have a deadly weapon anyways, because it ostensibly makes them an ever-present danger to themselves and everybody around them.

It’s the opposite - one who gets an abortion typically does so specifically because they know that the baby would not be entering into a social situation in which it has a chance of thriving.

You’re right, the primary thing people who are anti abortion have in common is that they are heartless, misogynistic idiots.

Pretty much. None of the genuinely complicit ‘in the know’ ones among them have any illusions that they’ll continue to be in Congress post-Trump, they’re just happy to keep milking the power for as long as they’ve got it. They’ll go for every tax grab, every corporate grab, every religiously ideological grab they can…

Remember that the GOP *do* require their power in order to continue enjoying the wealth and privilege that they know they’ll continue to receive when they retire and move on to the corporate sector. One problem: if Mueller comes out with an indictment and they DON’T impeach Trump, they’ll all become so poisonous, that…

I fear that were I to be shown such an image, my mind would be sundered, as though I had gazed upon the visage of shug-niggurath. Am I willing to, or even capable of enduring such eldritch torment in order to bring Donald Trump down? I do not know.

The GOP have this profound, incomprehensible ability to do/say something so unimaginably stupid that I frequently find myself thinking in ways that require me to somehow defend horrific ideas and terrible people on the basis of comparison, like how I have frequently found myself having to defend people I virulently…
