You’re a more positive person than I if you actually believe the Democrats can pull off doing the same things the Republicans have done.  What’s good for the good is good for the gander, unless the goose in question isn’t allowed the luxury of flaunting rules the same way.  The Republicans are great at being complete

Are flavored vapes safe? No, none of it is safe. There is no variation of putting crap in your lungs that doesn’t belong there that is “safe”. Safer than something less safe is a very low bar to jump over.

Yeah, but Congress failing to do anything about Trump or his actions is the defining feature of his presidency; it’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

How does the Elon guard his musk, from the break of dawn to the darkest dusk? Perhaps he guards it on the street, with the Tesla pedals below his feet? Perhaps he guards it in the sky, as his Falcon rocket flies oh so high? Perhaps he guards it in a tower, which prides itself on solar power? Oh Elon Musk, what name is

I thought the problem with blackface was culturally relevant in the United States because of the Vaudeville acts of the 1920s poking fun at slavery and the Jim Crow era. Canada wasn’t part of this, why are we now applying the United States’ cultural hang-ups to other countries?

We should absolutely have an age maximum on the Presidency. If you statistically don’t have long to live with the outcomes of your policies, you shouldn’t get to decide policies for everyone else that WILL have to live with the outcome. 35-60. That should be the age range. If you get elected when you’re 60, you could

Honestly, if people in my custody wanted to hunger strike, I’d let them. As long as I’m offering them food, their refusal to eat it is hardly my problem.

Man, I don’t even care anymore.  There are bigger problems in than whether or not someone put on a costume and used too much bronzer.

No, it doesn’t necessarily negate the fact a wrong has been done, but surely you’re not going to argue accidental misdeeds and intentional evil are the same thing.

For example, let’s say someone decides to dress as a ghost on Halloween. Whoops, their costume ends up looking a little too Klan-ish. Now, you’re honestly

Today’s teens: “I’d like very much to not burn to death and the drown because of the harsh, out of control climate you’re introducing to Earth’s future.”

Republicans (with a thick, Foghorn Leghorn-like drawl): “But I say, ma’am, I say... what about the MONEY? Did y’all young folks stop to think about MONEY?! I say now,

I never said the end results were particularly good, I just implied there are actual end results when both sides work to actually pass something through Congress. When they don’t work together, nothing makes it to the president’s desk.

This latest dodge on climate responsibility is as pernicious as it is shallow and it’s been weird to read it put forth so often even by people who should know better. Just because someone else is doing a bad thing doesn’t mean you have license to also do the bad thing.

Well, no.  See, the way things should work would be the Democrats introduce a bill for universal medical care, the Republicans disagree, and they figure out something that both agree on.  The way it presently works is one side introduces a bill, the other side says “that’s too extreme”, and then both sides say “Oh

No kidding.

Most people would rather not end relationships over politics. The bigger problem arises when you consider what someone’s political views mean when it comes to who they actually are.

What really sucks is that, unless Congress becomes a super majority for Democrats, nothing is actually going to get done anyway.  That’s probably more true of Bernie and Warren; their more progressive policies are going to stop dead in their tracks at Congress’s doorstep.  Hell, we can’t get Democrat and Republicans

I’m not a union man, so I’m a bit confused by the situation.... but at this point in time, why exactly is GM even concerning themselves with union workers? They are almost certainly looking to outsource and automate as much as possible, so why not just let the union workers know Mexico and UnionBot-127b will be

Lyft is not a business, it is a service that allows users to get into a car with a stranger looking for some side cash.  We need to stop treating Uber and Lyft like there are actual standards, like there are corporate offices for drivers to take training, like there is anything resembling an actual hiring process...

They’d have to be pretty sheltered to not encounter the fact that it’s an extremely popular code among white supremacists.

So if I take a picture of Hitler, put a noose on it, and say “This is what happens to evil people”, that’s racist?
