The overwhelming majority of (american, contemporary) soldiers are no more at risk than american kindergarteners are of being gunned down on any given day, and (minus weird military culture) live lives and fulfill roles fundamentally similar yo their civilian counterparts, yet we deliberately refuse most distinctions…

In between takeoff and landing it’s perfectly normal for the pilots to let the autopilot fly the plane while they read their charts, eat lunch, etc. That level of automation is what we think of as autopilot, and it’s not available for the driving technology that is described as “autopilot”.

So if you’re an unemployed/unemployable bum all you have to do is shriek hatred at libruls and deplorables all across the nation will bombard you with cash. Quite a grift!

I think the courts are not supposed to go around assessing the validity of the religious beliefs of the objects of its scrutiny, as that would produce an excessive entanglement of state and religion.

So, we get a second chance to exonerate ivanka's poor dog. How many times shall the iniquities of its masters be laid upon it?

Well, then, it should be legally permissible to force voters to watch videos of kids in cages and deplorables shooting up synagogues before allowed access to the voting booth. "Truthful, non-misleading factual disclosures" etc.

In fairness, I think she's polling at less than 1% now. Even Mayor Max, the golden retriever mayor of Idyllwild, CA would be polling better than that if his handlers had inserted him into the presidential race.

Oh, I don’t know about that ... Most of them know they are assholes. Cruelty is the point.

Don't be afraid catch feels and then cancel them.

In fairness, unless he was planning a career of crime in addition to having that face tattoo your criticism did not apply to him.

A century from now, everybody will have forgotten almost all the details of our politics, just as we fail to remember 19th-century potuses (james buchanan, grover cleveland ring a bell?). But obama will get a single sentence for being the first black president, and trump will get a single sentence for being one of…

Nobody’s going to be demoralized. Was anybody demoralized when the mueller report fizzled out? Nobody was affected, on either side. The scrum simply moved on.

Uh ... No, there isn’t. To the contrary, we have a full generation of political experience that demonstrates that yelling at people really does get them to do politically what you want them to do. It gets your enemies to tune out and drop out, and it embarrasses the waverers into going along with what you want. That…

Hold up, now. Kavanaugh’s confirmation was never a settled matter like these impeachment proceedings are; it really could have gone either way. Susan collins had a real dilemma, to jeopardize herself in the primary or in the general election (where she’s now rated a toss-up by the cook report); she really could have…

No, it’s all going to be forgotten and irrelevant a year from now, regardless of the precise articles of impeachment. The gop base will be neither more nor less fired up than usual, the election will be fought on abortion, immigration and whatever scandal the gop invents about whoever the eventual democratic nominee…

So many questions ... How many 69 voters are there, and how was the typeform able to ascertain voters' sexual preferences when deciding whether or not to count their votes?

Okay, but aren’t you thankful it wasn’t the fox blondes who were on every waking moment?

Megan is sometimes a useful weapon against the unholy one and his minions (yay infighting!), whereas marianne williamson brings nothing to the table, so I can believe that choice. But where are you able to see the polling results in progress? Of course, given the screwy way this tournament is set up, it’s possible…

Well, I guess there’s some ambiguity here, because the bracket merely refers to comedians who are “offensive” - not “Offensive Comedians” as a proper noun, as the typeform does. Oh, but I guess issuing a fake apology (and then going back on it soon after) renders one no longer ”offensive”? Good to know.

That sort of disrespect is just like the dehumanization of holocaust victims.
