I’m a firearms owner and recreational shooter. I do not own firearms “for protection” but because I grew up shooting recreationally and enjoy it in much the same way as other people enjoy throwing darts or playing bridge. I do not want to give up my firearms, but if it would stop such shootings from ever happening…

As a U.S ARMY 25th Infantry veteran, I’ve been saying this since I got out. There is no reason a civilian needs an assault rifle, at all. Not for hunting, not for “protection”. I remember when I first got out I met a son and father who were into “guns”. Went to go have lunch with them and saw for myself, they had a…

I appreciate hearing this from people who have more experience with guns than I do. And before people want to wade into gun type semantics (looks like it’s too late already...), I recommend this article by Gawker alum Adam Weinstein, a veteran and someone who (like 4 of my family members) lost someone at the shooting…

Try thinking about baseball.

“OK, we’ll give you $5,000, and you don’t have to meet Bannon.”

he’s cleaning house of people who keep his worst tendencies in any sort of check.

Yep. No one who voted for that gratuitous corporate handout gets to complain about spending or deficits ever again. Go ahead and fuck off with that noise.

“Will I sign it? Maybe I will but, then again, maybe I won’t. Tune in next week at 9:00, 8:00 Central, to find out! In the meantime, I’m off to Mar-A-Lago to win at golf. #MAGA #NOCOLLUSION #STABLEGENIUS”

The spending levels without any offsets are grotesque

So... when he’s in the primary, you fight - hard - for a more progressive candidate. If he wins the primary anyway, you vote for him and you fight - even harder - for him to win the general. Then you work within your party for progressive values next time round. And you keep working, and keep voting. And repeat. This…

How so? He called Ranadivé a “white billionaire”. He made no comment about his facility with English. He is a billionaire but he isn’t white. He is a person of color, and an immigrant. While his stance on the protests is noble, it is not coming from a “white billionaire”, like Jerry Jones or Daniel Snyder.

“Your people” as in Americans. He’s from India. His people did the right thing, let’s not nitpick.

How many white guys do you know named Vivek? He’s Indian.

It looks like one of the fancy knots that silly men wear to show how “fashionable” they are. But I’m also reminded of the Iron Legion schmucks from Kurt Vonnegut’s Mother Night that sewed an extra buttonhole on the right lapel of their suit jackets as a secret signal to identify their allegiance to other members. …

Whats going on with that guys tie knot?

Jesus. That quote about the East St. Louis child is racist on so many levels. “Three-fifths”??!! Holy shit!

Oh please someone get it in his head that he should have 8 possible recruits he needs to widdle down, possibly through 3 am twitter spats, to the 4 spots.

With a surprise appearance by Omarosa as the “villain back for revenge” in season two.

This is what the beginning of the consolidation of power looks like. The funny/terrifying thing is I can’t tell if it is because they: (a) are consolidating by design; (b) can’t find anyone willing to fill all these empty positions; or (c) are so incompetent and so far off their original, misguided course that they’re…

Well... it’s a format he’s familiar with. They can compete each week doing identical tasks, after which he will review their results and score them appropriately. After four weeks he will fire one. When he’s down to his last one he’ll let them resign their post and move into a position with a Trump company property -…
