Ah, but the point is he keeps saying that he ISN’T like other politicians.

Er, that’s not what happened. But you keep telling yourself that.

His supporters totally believe that Francis himself invited him for a tete a tete and they two dudes had a love-fest the whole time. God, it’s so tiresome.

My maternal grandfather spent time in a camp. My mother’s family was decimated, and she and her parents spent much of the war in hiding. She was a small child through most of it, but she never wanted to talk about it to me. My older siblings knew much more about it. I think she just wanted not to think about it.

I really feel you - it’s pissing me off big time, and not just his supporters, Bernie himself. He’s sunk almost to republican depths with the negative attacks. Still, I look at Trump and Cruz and...I can’t not vote for the Democratic nominee. It’s just not responsible. The Supreme Court alone makes that vote a must.

I have a cousin who is one of these assholes. He also recently got convicted for participating in some fraudulent scam. They are pious when it suits them and then ignore the Torah when it doesn’t. Seriously, they are mostly shitheads, and I don’t have a lot of patience for their ridiculous demands that society bend…

I like the way you think.

I am not sure that a private concern has to accommodate your religious beliefs. Restaurants don’t have to serve kosher food, or halal food. Theaters don’t have to have separate sections for men and women. I think this is a purely voluntary action by El Al and happens only because it is an Israeli airline and has a…

Nope. It’s real, and it’s a vivid example of how ridiculous the ultra religious can be.

He is a police officer. He chose to take the risk of putting on the uniform. He does not get to transfer those risks to civilians.

I agree with you, personally, but at the same time I would say that neither of us is qualified to back up our belief - some kind of mental health professional or victim specialist would be qualified, and usually prosecutor’s offices have budgets for expert testimony. So if they want to make that link, they should be…

Very well explained. Defendant rights are important rights; I ask people whether they would feel the same if it was a friend or family member charged with the crime. Those who say no are kidding themselves.

I agree with you; when you become a cop, I think by definition you accept that you have a dangerous job. You don’t have the right to eliminate all risk by killing everyone who scares you. And you should have some obligation to attempt less than lethal measures. The cops in the UK don’t even carry guns, and they…

The supermarket, back when I lived in DC.

The Sanders supporters (and the campaign’s failure to quash their BS) have turned me from undecided/leaning Hillary to firmly Hillary. I am so tired of the relentless bashing and flat out lies being trotted out everywhere. If he won (and I’d vote for him if he got the nomination, I’m not a spiteful eight year old) he…

Bernie Sanders supporters stating that they’ll “never” vote for Hillary even if she is the nominee, that she is just like the Republicans, blah blah blah. I intend to vote for the democratic nominee, whoever they are, but if we lose this election, it will be because of this divisive shit. Too many of these people have…

Talk about overthinking things. It’s not sexual harassment, it has nothing to do with homophobia or conservatism - it’s just a simple message to these jamokes to go fuck themselves!

I’ve seen a crapload of it on Facebook.

He’s a Palin. They have a ton of money and there’s no reason he should have gone without whatever he needed. I am not saying that if he has trauma stemming from his service, he shouldn’t have treatment and resources provided - only that it is beside the point because unlike most vets, his family has the resources to…

I’m having a rage stroke right now. SARAH, YOUR SON IS WHITE TRASH LIKE YOU, DON’T BLAME OBAMA FOR THE FACT YOU RAISED HIM TO BE A VIOLENT, GUN HAPPY IDIOT. FUCK OFF AND DIE.
