Drumpf. Was this your first political let down as an adult? You’re as bad as the people who refused to call Obama American for 8 years. Disagree with someone on substance, not name calling. You make all the rest of us look bad by association.

How does LOL refute their similar experiences?

I thought people with no government experience were bad for the highest office (Trump). Not Michelle though?

Well, considering half of the replies in this comment thread even are along the same line of logic, how should one tell? People can be against the Second Amendment and the Castle Doctrine if they want, but it makes your position look uniformed when you malign a doctrine unrelated to the case at hand.

I was tangentially associated with this process back in 2010 when it was being done originally in NC and, interestingly, the Republicans are using a process started by the Democrats to enfranchise minorities. There are clearly gerrymandered districts in NC (12th Congressional District (D)) being one of the most famous…

Let’s hope it doesn’t come down to expecting the Mexican and German militaries (fairly non-existent) to defeat the two preeminent military powers of the world...

I don’t get the Mitt hate for this. Would it be better if someone completely devoid of human decency took the post? Obviously, Trump isn’t going to ask Kerry to stick around so wouldn’t a centrist Republican who stood up to condemn Trump during the election be the best, realistic option?

It’s almost like a gun is more dangerous than a knife. Isn’t this usually the argument the Left employs when the Right complains that gun laws are unfair because we have no knife laws (which actually we do)? Don’t be as logically inconsistent as the side you’re making fun of.

This has nothing to do with the Castle Doctrine. And no, just Florida, doesn’t apply. That is a law meant to protect people from having to retreat, but doesn’t provide any protection for an aggressor. Following someone for 20 minutes and instigating a new altercation is hardly a good example of this.

I support abortion rights and think Republicans should too if they had any logical consistency (small, unobtrusive government anyone?), but logically, by definition, the best way to eliminate abortion is to make abortion illegal - that just makes sense. It doesn’t make it right, but if their goal is really to…

You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. As a concealed carry holder (but Hillary voter), my CC teacher (a state trooper doing the class for political staffers at my state’s General Assembly) explained that you can only use your weapon when you are realistically in fear of your life. If you can fire a…

My uncle is a billionaire and he even treats me (extended family) like an interloper. I’ve never felt like I was supposed to be more grateful for a thanksgiving lunch in my life. Pelican Hill isn’t even that great of a spot to eat...

I get there are new corporate overlords, but is Gawker/Gizmodo group really so desperate they need to start hawking ugly t-shirts on every site?

Time Out opened a second location near me briefly and the local college kids let it go out of business! I couldn’t have been more disappointed in my city.

This is a bad take. You should go read some of Anthony P. Griffin’s thoughts on this issue - the black NAACP/ACLU lawyer who defended the KKK in court.

Wolfpack. :(

I have a very different perspective on this. My first job out of school was also in Republican politics (odd time for me), but I was a fundraising director on party-wide level. I was odd to slide into such a position, but lucked out as someone left and I had been the sole intern working on executive fundraising (aka…

I think this is called richsplaining.

I’ve been doing a fair amount of work for Japan-based clients lately. If only the drinking was just once a year...

Ah, who am I kidding, I love it. They still know how to expense the right way. Most fun business dinners you’ll ever have, although, a surprising number of nice executives take to calling me “round eyes”…

And the California bar at that. I couldn’t imagine sitting beside this dude for 3 days straight.
