If Obama had ever said anything remotely like “Take the guns first, go through due process second,” there would be flaming barricades going up on every street corner in Texas and Georgia.

Is it wrong that I feel like he’s doing more damage by being on TV every night rather than the potential for him to blow smoke at the press for the occasional press briefing? Or could Hannity become the true Goebbels of his dreams were he part of the Administration?

There’s a really good podcast that Ezra Klein had this past week with Amy Chua about how we are living in battle over cultural dominance. Ever since Obama was elected and much more before that white people have had to deal with a slipping of cultural dominance. A black president, black lives matter protest, dreamer…

We had always hoped the liberal wave would never hit Texas, but these Early Voting returns aren’t encouraging so far.”

Something very dirty. The finger of a Catholic priest.

Trump’s original digital team from Russia probably won’t be available this time.

Could they have been confiscated?

It’s not in this clip, but I loved watching the toddler-in-chief adopt his favorite defensive posture in response. He folds his arms, hugs himself tightly and rocks slightly back and forth while muttering under his breath: “I just wanted to expand the brand and now I have to put up with this shit?”

“He’s on the list because he’s the President’s pilot, but if he gets the job it won’t be because he’s the President’s pilot,” the source said. “It’ll be because he once let the President pretend to fly the plane.”

Pro tip for the trolls: you think nobody outside this country sees America? It is patently obvious to any other civilized nation what the NRA is and what it does.

Over there! Look! A deputy sheriff didn’t step in!

Perhaps it is. But it’s more than a little hypocritical coming from the same people that virulently defended the police in the cases of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Philando Castille, et al. I just wish I could put my finger on what could possibly be different this time...

Not to mention carry/storage obligations. If you want guns safely stored in classrooms, you need at minimum some kind of gun safe—a locked desk drawer won’t cut it. Ideally a trigger lock as well, but now you’re really cutting down on how quickly teachers can react in an emergency. That’s a lot of extra cost for each…

Laura, the girl who lost her friends when she came out as “conservative”, shows how the internet has really been instrumental in radicalizing people and bringing horrible people together.

I agree with every single point you’ve made here.

Until the people actually making these decisions are held accountable, both criminally and financially, instead of the businesses, this is just going to keep spiraling. Right now, the people making these decisions get a slap on the wrist at best (three cheers for golden parachutes!), and are allowed to keep right on…

Same interior designer too:

I know, I know. It’s like he picks people based on if he ever saw them doing anything remotely related to the job he’s looking to fill.
