I have no problem with my local Lew enforcement agencies having SOME military-like hardware. If there is an armed group taking over a government building, SWAT team should roll in in an armored personnel carrier and snipers should have .50-caliber ball ammunition at their disposal, particularly if the criminals have…

Worse: It’s not the people making $50k a year buying these. It’s people making half that—the people who desperately rely on Medicaid and SNAP but who want it taken away from “those people”—who buy the godawful crap.

Netflix is removing Last Man Standing? Does that mean we’re going to hear outrage because Tim Allen is the “only” conservative voice in Hollywood? *eye roll and exasperated sigh*

It’s already owned by one...

An unpopular opinion: The upcoming show is one in a long line of alternative histories of the Confederacy. I mean, we’ve had more novels than I can count and even a mockumentary that detailed a “history” in which the South won. I think people are just eager to slam something without considering the longer, larger…

She is absolutely horrible. People like her are being targeted by the current administration, and yet she continually prioritizes party and status over community.

A long time ago—2009, if I’m honest—my 60GB iPod (fifth generation!) crapped out on me after three years of devoted service. Bereft and desperate...and short on cash because college...I went to Walmart. I had too many .aac songs and no idea how to convert them to .mp3, so options were slim. I purchased a green Shuffle…

Doesn’t really matter who gets named as Homeland Security secretary. What matters is that, as of right now, John Kelly’s Wikipedia article states that today he was named White House gumcobbler. (Not a typo, but it’s clear what the editor meant.)

As I read the initial responses to the first request, a LOT of states didn’t say “yeah we need time and/or clarification,” they just straight up told Kobach to pound sand.

He did that, and my only feeling is...can I crawl under a rock? He actually SAID “I feel like I know all Irish-Americans” and just... Why not say “I feel like I know all Chinese-Americans* when he met Xi Jinpeng? (Spelling may be off.) This is just embarrassing, and not even normal “oh god he’s a national…

It probably didn’t help that the invitation to the Congressional Black Caucus came from “The Honorable” Omarosa. I mean, Trump could have at least written it himself instead of getting her to do it.

I am absolutely bloody sick of hearing about how Nazism and communism (as practiced in the USSR) have anything to do with progressivism. They were the ultimate right-wing fantasies come to life.

Nathan, that infamous “I’m gonna die” scene was the Spider-Man 3 tie-in game.

Try again, please. The majority of comments here are along the lines of “Jesus I hope he’s not dead,” “this will/will not mean better gun control,” and “the shooter is white, so not terrorism.”

I believe there is a difference between what happened with Fox and Breitbart’s advertisers and what is happening to the Public. In the former’s case, there was defensible outrage over the content they were pushing; with this production, there is only selective outrage when it puts their people in a bad light. I can’t…

For the second time in the past two weeks, we have a perfect example of Republican hypocrisy. First it was “that crappy comedian did a bad photo and hurt the President’s feefees” and the nonsensical babbling about Barron Trump. Not one of them spoke out about the burning and hanging effigies of Obama and all the…

You have someone (allegedly) committing an act punishable by a tiny fine, and a macho asshole killing him. The people who will try to defend this as “well, a cop says he was doing something bad!” will come out of the woodwork and wave it all away. I just...

You’re nitpicking over the word “radicalized,” but the part that should scare you is that he explicitly said “suspected...terrorist,” as in anyone who someone thinks might be a terrorist. No evidence or trial needed—some idiot with a handgun thinks you’re a terrorist and boom! headshot!

It isn’t willful misreading, though. Higgins’s spokesperson--who should probably be clearing up the statement and doing something helpful (at the bare minimum, gaslighting people)--actually said that their boss is advocating for the summary execution of any and all “suspected” Muslim terrorists without defining how to…

Update 6/5/17 1:00pm: Reached by email, a Higgins spokesperson claimed the congressman was advocating for the extrajudicial killing of all suspected Muslim terrorists, not all suspicious Muslims, stating, “Rep. Higgins is referring to terrorists. He’s advocating for hunting down and killing all of the…
