I will never not star you when I see you, Mr. Piggins, because I love guinea pigs, but I am confused by your reply. Did you mean to reply to someone else?

The reasons are different; the tactics are not. That’s why I’m not mad about their tactics; I’m mad about their reasons for using them in the first place. They should be voting for the bill.

I sort of agree, but I’d be more inclined to put it as “Right tactic; wrong reason.”. Some of the tactics Republicans use are heinous (voter suppression, family separation, dog whistles to white supremacists). This tactic by itself, I don’t find offensive. Their reason for using this tactic is what I find offensive.

People are not always logical, but they frequently think they are doing the right thing. 

Green onions, ginger, rosemary.

I potted mine, but just plain water is fine, too. If you have cats, make sure they can’t get to them, because onions are toxic to cats.

“Both . . . are extremely fucking bad at getting across both of these points at the same time.”

This is not a new tactic, but one I am more used to Democrats using. In addition to the 2001 incident mentioned in the article, Democratic legislators fled Texas in 2003 to deny a quorum to vote on a redistricting bill. In 2011, Democratic lawmakers left Wisconsin to block an anti-union bill.

This is a false choice. Private equity vs. family owned businesses are not the only two types of organization ownership. I would like to see more companies owned by employees, and more non-profit news organizations.

Even if this wasn’t about a lot more than money, money helps. As an example of what money can do, the Earned Income Tax Credit decreases infant mortality rates, increases high school graduation rates, and improves overall health outcomes for families that receive it. A lot of black people have been impoverished by…

Nicotine use had been on the decline for decades, but there has been a recent and alarming reversal of that trend: https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/youth-and-tobacco/2018-nyts-data-startling-rise-youth-e-cigarette-use

“Fun Camps! Just like Summer Camp, but you can’t leave!”

“we are not killing . . . anyone. Yet.”

“The prohibition of vapor products for all adults in San Francisco will not effectively address underage use and will leave cigarettes on shelves as the only choice for adult smokers, even though they kill 40,000 Californians every year,” Juul spokesman Ted Kwong told NBC News.

“there are other methods (that adults are capable of using) that don’t medicate but do prevent pregnancies.”

If you’re talking about Fort Sill, I don’t think they’ve put anyone in there yet, but they’re planning to.

There were also plenty of proto-concentration camps in America as the US expanded across the continent and moved tribes off their land, and the term apparently originated in Cuba to describe camps set up by a General Weyler. I’m sure people have been rounding up other people and holding them in horrible conditions…

I think that he doesn’t want to be an anti-semite, which is a point in his favor, but if a person finds themselves looking at neo-nazi propaganda thinking its message is good enough to retweet, perhaps they need to reexamine their assumptions about their own biases, and how that meme could resonate with any part of…

“He has been pretty clear that he doesnt want the U.S. involved in any more ME wars.”

It feeds the fantasy narrative of superiority. To feed that fantasy, you don’t just need a ruthless dictator, you need a ruthless dictator who tells you that you are better than everyone else.
