Part of that has to be because of Bolsonaro, though, right? Because where does this money go? UN Firefighting forces? I’m pretty sure it would have to go to Brazilian efforts, and the G7 is using economic leverage to get him to do something about it as it is. Handing him billions is just an excuse to let it burn more,…

If we are going by original intent, than no, entertainment is not more important to the sport than the sport itself. Association football wasn't first contested because some dudes friends were bored and wanted to be entertained, it was the competition that drove people to play it, and why they play games even if the…

Hey, they fired the dickbag that killed Eric Garner today....5 years after the fact.

His district is like half the state! How on Earth is this highly gerrymandered? I get that it probably skirts the urban areas, but it's half of Iowa, man...

No, I guess I was talking about it becoming a single issue voter type thing on the left. Whiles the 2nd Amendmenters are lined up to block gun control, everyone else gives a collective, defeated shrug.

It’s a chicken-and-egg platform scenario. Nobody on the Dem side formulates well-thought out anti-gun positions, and so nobody is able to truly get behind them as a candidate on that alone. 

This is exactly the cue the form up and certify that anyone who was interested needed. Now that he’s on the record and the Dept of Labor has announced they’re aware of his threats, employees are in a prime position to bend Portnoy over the barrel and call his bluff. 

I love how American exceptionalism ends at education, healthcare, and environmentalism.

I feel like it makes things less likely to come out/be uncovered, precisely because up til now, he was the only figure charged. The criminal investigation stops now. The court proceedings stop. The case is thrown out. Investigators are removed. No more interviews to be conducted, no more warrants to search provided,…

Birthright citizenship is far from universal. About Greece, from the Wikipedia article on Jus Soli:

So, you’re saying like Trump does in public at his rallies all the time? Like, “Send Them Back”?

Did anyone say, “Go at them!”? As far as I’m concerned, nobody is inciting violence against these people donating to Trump, and if that’s the first thing you think about when a list of political donors is made public, it might just be a you problem, not a society problem.

Bruh, you don’t even need to do that. Their addresses are on the FEC forms.

Currently, clicking on Trump’s name on that data page leads to a 404, while all the other candidates are just fine. None of Trump’s data seems to be available at the moment. Which is either coincidence, or terribly chilling. The fact that he has raised over $120M is insane on it’s own right, but lets see if the FEC…

I admit, I was pretty off the cuff there. The way I see it, if they contend they’re manufacturing and selling their deadly products for hunting and self defense, any purposeful misuse should be split among the creators, distributers, and enacters of said problem. You’d see some serious, seriously extreme vetting of…

Tax the ever-loving shit out of guns and bullets, require a 120-day waiting period and stringent licensing, as well as require any who sell the product to be responsible for violent crime committed with the item in question.

Relying on the press to ask anything of substance or press for an actual answer is pointless, though. No reason to hold your breath for that.

Ideological and terrorism related shootings get lots of attention, and rightly so. It highlights attacks that are motivated by hateful beliefs that are performed on crowds of unsuspecting people. Gang memebrs shooting people that are associated with other gangs is a function of organized crime. I live on the south…

A gun was fired, no ody was hit, and someone was arrested. Wow, big story. Pretty much covered it right there.
