If I actually bothered to pay attention to all the idiotic claptrap on local news about all the shit that can kill me, I’d be living in a bubble, slathering myself in sanitizer, drinking distilled water and then starving to death.

Again:  He’s the mayor of South Bend, Indiana.  He has zero business running for President.

There once was an old man from Nantucket...

Damned straight.  When in a public place, ignoring the tantrum is absolutely NOT the thing to do.  The world is not someone’s babysitter and should not be subjected to a parent’s unwillingness to actually parent their child.  The answer is always to deal with it in the calmest, most authoritative way possible.  Even…

Pretending to be unconscious breaks down in a real hurry once that cop starts raking their knuckles over your sternum.  This ruling is a lot more than just drinking and driving. It’s about the very nature of the 4th Amendment and the fact that we now have a precedent which will allow cops to engage in all kinds of…

I don’t drink anymore, and when I used to drink I didn’t drink and drive. That being said, this ruling bothers me because it’s an open door to allowing the police to engage in ever-more invasive warrantless searches, using this case as precedent.

A Spitshake.

...and?  It’s their land.  Who cares what we think about it?  It has literally zero impact on our lives.

No, I’m using the same term they are. I lived in NM for many years and am familiar with the native communities. I said the land is theirs and if they say it’s sacred, then it’s sacred. Not my business to tell them whether or not their land is spiritually blessed any more than it’s my business to tell the citizens of…

How much you want to bet that if the gerrymandering suit was about Democratic districts that got illegally redrawn, the right wingers on the Court would have jumped all over that shit?

It’s sacred to them and it’s their land, so it’s sacred.  At any rate, what they need to do is really push hard on the sovereignty argument.

I don’t know how anyone in the South manages to look put together in the summer.

I refuse to believe money won’t make me happy, so let’s move on.

Looks like my 13-year old Civic--which we got when it was 6-years old.

That’s a fair concern.  Honestly not sure what can be done about it.  Hell, even Sanders has run twice for President under the Democratic Party banner because he knows damned well if he ran as an Indie or some 3rd Party, he’d never get any traction.

Then, I suggest we just send them all of our candy bars and wait.

Ah, St. Carlin always knows the right thing to say.

So, once again, the result of the people who voted 3rd party or stayed home in protest force-fed Hillary Clinton as the nominee in 2016, is a SCOTUS decision that destroys a fundamental tenant of democracy for decades to come.

Good luck with that. They have all the guns.
