Fine. Netanyahu can snuggle up to Putin—which seems to be his latest international love connection anyway—and create all sorts of awkward alliances with other Putin-backed regimes in the area. Like the Assad regime in Syria. Or maybe Libya in north Africa. Or Hezbollah. Because lord knows exactly how questionable…

*fist bump to fellow former Iowa resident*

Hi, Dr. Tom.

Exhibit A(sshole) of why I don’t trust Iowans. I know many who are, in fact, fine people. But I know many more who masquerade as fine people but vote for this asshole. The state should not have one of the first attempts in the nation to determine candidate pool for either political party.

Maybe if you start impersonating another common garden vegetable or fruit—say, zucchini or eggplant or cucumber—with multiple burner accounts referring to varietals (conventional vs heirloom vs whatever else) and post coherently, you may drift into the black. But first you have to bait the writers to simultaneously…

HA! I had forgotten about his attempt to hide the breast. Good times, good times.

Additionally, misogyny—which you rightfully mentioned as a common trait—and xenophobia (both of which the El Paso shooter admitted to) are not caused by nor are they traits of mental illness.

Per her own words, she described her *adult* son as not having the gun skills to operate the firearm *in addition to not having the mental maturity* to *own* a firearm.

Nope—mass shootings and mental illness diagnoses do not correlate. Nationalized health care—as well as far better mental health care access—should occur on their own merits. Decreasing access to guns would also reduce the number of suicide attempts via gun.

El Paso shooter’s mother called the police out of concern that her son had acquired his weapon without the skills or maturity to own a firearm, period. In each and every mass-murder by firearm case, there were ample warning signs ignored by existing laws (state and federal) as well as police departments.

Simone is perfection—a total joy to watch

This doesn’t have enough stars. 

Each and every time a diagnosis-based decision is placed up for legislative or judicial review/arbitration/action (sorry, typing quickly and not coming up with the best word)—US federal or state governments (and courts) don’t have a particularly good history.

100% affirmative: industrial ag and food is mercilessly cruel in this way.

Mom: “It’s essentially an automatic weapon that can fire a number of bullets very rapidly. He’s talked about killing others, specifically non-Caucasians, and wants to harass/intimidate women.”

If you want to hear more from Obama, offer him regular column space. Let him choose which of the Gizmodo Media Group he wants to write for. Give him as much $$ as he wants, full editorial control of his work, and the ability to set his own standards for commentariat participation as he sees fit.

With some of the opinions from staff about how President Obama inexplicably owes them, Splinter doesn’t deserve an office dog.

Also imagine if mandatory reporting of stolen firearms occurred, on top of banning straw purchases. Only 12 states + DC require at least partial reporting, but only 9 of the 12 states require comprehensive reporting of all firearms thefts. Per federal law, all licensed dealers are required to report—but in MN this is…

This has to be approached as domestic terrorism, in addition to incrementally banning and destroying certain gun types starting with the most destructive weapons currently available.

Dear Republicans,
