Nobody ever advocated for decriminalizing texting while driving.

This is a dumb absolutist argument. The point he’s making is that a draconian law like the one proffered will not reduce the instance of people using cell phones, but only increase the instances of people driving without licenses. The remedy isn’t to “make everything legal”, but to make laws smarter and make

Again, you’ve learned nothing from the Tough on Crime era.

Nothing distracts you like an infant in the back seat. But it will never be culturally acceptable to ban those....

Three strikes rules are just tools to oppress underprivileged communities but you do you man

“Make phone use a 3 strikes your out policy. Three infractions, loss of license for 10 years.”

It’s always awkward when a guy from Michigan becomes a born-again Southern Rock icon.

You can talk all you want about slavery and speeches, but how many times did Lincoln remember to honour Washington and his men who seized the airports?

1. The Battlefront 2 campaign

2. The entire sequel trilogy.  (His name is Finn.  Yeah, he’s the black guy.)

I dunno, I actually think making her a disillusioned good guy badass feels fresher.  We’ve seen the “disillusioned bad guy” a million times.  And it’s doubly rare that we see that the good guys also have badass SEAL types who do the dirty work no one else wants to.
