You’re kidding right? Even in your counterpoints, it’s about men killing men, to counter the point that men kill women. And then you ask why bring up gender at all.

do you not recognize the difference between shooting yourself and being shot by someone else?

The big difference is 77% of white men dead from a gun die by suicide whereas 53% of women killed by a gun are murdered cause some dude saw them as property and was able to get a gun. I brought up race cause the senate and congress are composed of mainly white males.

The issues surrounding both genders with guns are documented. However we’re talking specifically about domestic abusers of which are overwhelming men committing the crime against women.

I would say, “what’s it going to take for things to change? A congressman being killed by their spouse in a domestic dispute? A congressman’s daughter? Son?”

You’re making us want to post the Atwood quote again.

Women are five times more likely to be murdered if their abuser has a gun.

Questioning the appropriateness of Ariel’s dress has nothing to do with body shaming. It IS a hot, awesome dress on her but maybe not for a family celebration of your high school graduation...

Some sumbitch was cooking toast as I waited for my appointment at the Neurology Clinic. I’ve never seen an angrier waiting room when they waltzed out of the breakroom with their lunch.

Elizabeth Warren puts on the Hillary PJs just to drive it home to the last Bernie hold-outs that it’s OVER.

Maybe some of the politicians are having . . human feelings? Like, maybe they have had enough and are so sad about all the beautiful human lives that have been taken & finally care more about other human beings than “playing it safe” to make sure they get reelected? I hope that is it.

I should stop looking at the grays. People ignoring the context in which such a bill came to be. Seemingly happy to let nothing happen, once again, in order to maintain some imagined idealogical purity. Or worse, conservatives pretending to care about amendments other than the 2nd.

Her helicopter gets shot down in Iraq, causing her to lose both legs and damaging her right arm. She survived, got her PhD, and got elected to the US House of Representatives. She’s the definition of badass.

Another commenter said something earlier today about Dems generally being the party of compromise in contrast to the GOP being completely unwilling to even meet them at the bargaining table in recent years. Well, the Dems are finally fed the fuck up. As well they should be.

That’s people realizing politeness is only getting people more dead and threatened by the rule of a fascist cheeto.

Democrats? Raising hell? Using social media? Drowning out the speaker?

Why am I not surprised that Tammy Duckworth is, again, being a total badass?

and Candy is still a FUCKING JAM

“He hasn’t really lost yet” is what can only be described as a delusional perspective on the race. Everyone has voted! What more do you want?
