Don’t forget that they just love “Dr.” Alveda King, who uses the fact that she was MLK’s niece to repeatedly push not only that narrative but also that MLK himself was anti-abortion...and so was Rosa “literally on the board of Planned Parenthood” Parks.

Pretty sure what JDG was saying (and do understand I’m not stumping for Sanders, merely clarifying a point) is that marginalized people are the darlings of the party only when they can use them as shields or battering rams against candidates like Sanders. See also: excoriating Sanders for endorsing “anti-choice…

You might want to include in this article that this only applies to Individual accounts - Family subscribers like me will get a “this code cannot be redeemed” error. That fact isn’t even given its own question in the FAQ, instead relegated to the second half of Question 9:

Anyone who’s going to try to convince me that the party should keep out the less famous candidates, that they should raise the amount of donors or the polling numbers or whatever to come in, and that us having tons of choices is a bad thing, didn’t learn any fucking lessons from 2016.

During the episode, Ingraham and Nathanson discussed the “attack on masculinity” and some of the apparent hoaxes behind it. “The hoax that somehow sexes are all the same or capable of being bed into one continuum, that masculinity itself is toxic, terrible and poisonous, all of those things, and in fact has to be…

They were members of a gang which was formed in prison, not inmates at the time of the kidnapping and murder.

To the fuckstick I dismissed: The actual quoted parts make it really clear that the NRA is against even the slightest expansion of the law to protect victims of abuse from their abusers, and to remove abusers’/stalkers’ ability to legally purchase and own firearms. The statement literally says “It is a shame that some…

NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker said the group objects because it believes the legislation could lead to firearm confiscations over misdemeanor domestic violence or stalking convictions.

Given the way the DMCA is handled in the US, I worry that it’s also going to wind up putting the final burden on the user to prove that their use is non-infringing rather than leaving the burden on the IP holder to prove infringement. Just look at the number of YouTube videos that would be declared clear cases of…

Seriously this. I’ve seen a number of thinkpieces that start off saying “no one is saying that criticism of Israel is inherently anti-Semitic”, then start listing off the criticisms they say are, ending up with marking every substantive criticism as inherently anti-Semitic. Some of them have managed to mark Jewish…

ALSO not a legal scholar, but it seems like this particular challenge would be presented as a new question based on the removal of the individual mandate, creating a new theory of how the law functions and hence a new challenge. Sort of like how Roe stands, but conservatives do everything they can to challenge it,…

Trolling, which I’m pretty sure is just MAGA 101 right now.

Totally in agreement, and I have a little trouble with the way the term “cosplay convention” is being thrown around. A lot of these conventions are not specifically tuned for cosplayers, and while they may have events and panels specifically about cosplay, they’re fandom events for the whole fandom. They’re not made…

1:2 odds or better he doesn’t know the Hanoi Hilton wasn’t an actual hotel.

HR Pufnstuf was on a life-long coke bender. “Can’t do a little ‘cause he can’t do enough”, indeed.

These are largely the same people who believe in the Lost Cause and Clean Wehrmacht.

This is exactly the problem I have with a lot of the gun control debate. Without properly enforcing the laws on the books, the right is never going to accept so much as a single word of new regulation; meanwhile, even some Democrats are more than happy to just shrug about whether it’s worth it to ensure those laws are …

It’s times like these I’m glad I don’t have a Twitter account anymore - I’d get banned for being too impolite while dragging her.

Japanese can be read left to right like in English. It also can be read in vertical columns going left to right, top to bottom.

There’s a difference between “trying to quit smoking cigarettes” and “trying to quit nicotine altogether”.
