Then run for something. Or maybe talk a friend or relative into running, with your help and support. Un-opposed slots are the worst - the candidates are often the least-prepared for the job and the biggest surprises in where they stand on issues (almost never in a good way). Even if they still win, the fact that…

Santorum says he wants them to “take responsibility” - these kids have literally been spending every spare waking moment waging absolute war on the NRA and politicians who’ve accepted contributions from them, and doing a whole lot of media and social media on the side to boot. Short of going door to door and…

Eric Garner.

Thank you.

NO.

Yeah...it’s weird how whenever I’m in conversation with older police officers or those who’ve retired or been promoted to detective etc. there’s almost the universal story: “I’ve never fired my gun in the line of duty” but these guys tend to be the ones who live or lived in the neighborhoods they patrol, they know…

The use of violence, on its face, is a failure - an admission of a weak position or inadequacy, lack of communication skills and an inability or unwillingness to assess a situation and problem solve. And so the use of violence in law enforcement (investigation, policing - whatever you want to call it) especially the…

How is it that US Police Officers are literally the only people *on the whole planet* who can’t tell the difference between a handgun and a cellphone? This doesn’t happen anywhere else in the world.

Hydrogen peroxide and chlorine bleach are both oxidizing agents and, in the proper concentration, denature enough proteins and DNA to prevent microbial activity. They cannot create resistance, as the active process is pretty fundamental, and not specific to any particular type of organism or structure (they’ll oxidize…

Nylon scrub pads (the pores are big enough that they can dry out completely in a pretty short period of time) or brushes, Steel Wool (for your less delicate items), and silicone scrubbers (a silicone pad with knobby or spiky protrusions on either or both sides). My health department actually bans sponges in…

Can’t the criteria just relate to the maximum possible rate of fire for the device, and require a special license for anything over a certain threshold? That would cover all existing weapons, AND any new weapons or mods developed to convert existing weapons. Rate of fire is the real killer, after all, nobody does a…

Then you need to work on reading comprehension a bit. Assault weapons or mods didn’t exist when the precious 2nd amendment was written. We managed just fine, until very recently, without them being in the hands of civilians, so take your simpleton “rebuttal” somewhere the level of discourse is more befitting of your…

This community, and these kids especially, want to burn it all down and start fresh, and it sounds like alot of people are willing to donate matches. How many are willing to stick around and rebuild though? Rubio is a tool, but makes a point about the assault weapons ban - manufacturers and retailers were already…

Please explain more about this tax break thing of which you speak...louder though, so my friends from Sears and Sam’s Club sitting in the back can hear you.

People should have the same issue with this as they do with the no-fly list: it’s all extra-legal malarkey. Individuals are discriminated against despite having violated no law, yet have a bunch of absurd legal hoops to jump through (that will cost them time and/or money) to correct the agency’s mistake.

How the hell are the police vetting these calls?? E911 and location data needs to be attached to these calls like ten years ago. How can a random address, ANY random address be given as the location of “hostage situation” and nobody in law enforcement does anything to try and verify it before sending armed thugs to…

Self publishing/Vanity Press seemed like the only way to go for this steaming plate of offal, really. The “alt right” have their own echo chamber going there, and there’s the added bonus of playing tricks to boost your bestseller rankings (like buying out the whole first edition run of your book so it instantly…

When I see Adam Driver’s modeling shots, I always think of the photos from the mid-70's of my parents’ guy friends and relatives. Broody, handsome, long haired (and usually mustachioed) guys who are fit, but with different proportions than today’s gymrat standard beefcake.

Maybe it’s just my own echo-chamber, but has a progressive or centrist candidate EVER cried “voter fraud” in a major election?? Odd how this seems to be a crime uniquely perpetrated upon conservatives, and yet can’t ever seem to be proven.

Horrifying. I’m not scared of much in this world or the next, but dying in a house fire is not something I would wish on even my worst enemies.
