I think, despite my efforts, using the word “claim” was clumsy on my part.

I’m replying very very tepidly, because I am white with zero Native American ancestry (can I say that? I mean that respectfully). I am not going to presume to argue against anything that anyone of non-white heritage would say insults them, because I have never been subjected to any of the myriad injustices that they…

Not sure why the picture isn’t showing up (not that everyone hasn’t seen it by now).

Don’t imagine... behold:

“McConnell, for as much as I wish would suddenly evaporate into a cloud of mosquitoes that would plague Ted Cruz until his dying day...”

I saw it as a NPR alert, but that was the only place that said it. NYT, WaPo, Reuters... nothing to that effect. So, I dunno, but I guess that effectively negates my comment. 

BEGGING YOUR PARDON

Hm... NPR shot out an update saying that the plea deal does not include matters involving the Trump campaign.

We’re just gonna go ahead and ignore that the arbitrator in this is Harry Henderson?

Apparently, I’ve been informed that since moving away from Pittsburgh (10 years ago), the Science Center no longer does the Floyd laser shows. 

I think you’re right that “yinz” is a contraction of “you ones”.. I don’t remember the etiology of it. I lived in Pittsburgh for 8 years, having transplanted from central PA, and the “yinz” thing drove me nuts.

Just stop. You’re being a dick. Despite your stated personal experience, you’re clearly out of your depth when it comes to depression and suicide.

I get that this is semi-relevant, because he just did an interview. However, I’m fresh out of room for more outrage at the moment, considering we have a sitting President who is not being impeached for far worse things, is actively ruining the country and planet, and is likely to begin a Constitutional Crisis any day.

I do. It’s fortunate I read this far down into the comments, so that I could address that specific question.

No, I don’t have time to explain how science works to you.

That makes your dipshit voting decision even more stupid.

This is all moot if it turns out that he’s a racist little shit who echoes the things his idiot Trump voter dad says during dinner while Fox News blares in the background.
