Imagine that - homeless people move to states where there’s warm weather year round, and a political system in place that doesn’t treat them like so much garbage and actually offers real support systems.  Mind. Blown.

Yeah this isn’t to help the poor factory workers or underpaid over worked employees. This is to help the higher ups keep even more of their overpaid salaries.

Seinfeld contains surprisingly few visual jokes... it’s one of those shows you can “watch” while barely paying attention to the screen.

Only by changing the arrival and departure times to make the trains timely after the fact. That is literally how Benito Mussolini “made” his trains run on time. People who objected to this new definition tended to suffer completely unsuspicious totally random accidents, like accidentally walking into a dozen bullets.

Fascists are always inefficient and sloppy, history has always shown that. The TexAss Republicans just adding to that historical pile.

Because most Americans believe that if they didn’t actually INTEND to hurt other people, it’s O.K.

I may have voted for Ron Paul in the past but that’s just because he wanted to abolish the IRS and I was willing to overlook a whole lot of crazy to try out that experiment.

The police really don’t want the locals suddenly expecting them to book everyone who does this. The asshole lobby is a strong one.

He may have been of legal driving age but that doesn’t mean he should’ve been allowed to drive. It’s no different than handing an 18 year old a gun when you can’t trust them to use it responsibly. If you completely ignore the driver’s intent, the rolling coal, and the ::eyeroll:: college aspirations, this kid totally…

I was once a young man in high school with college aspirations.

Inexperienced driver.

What you have to understand about Conservatism is at its core, it is about preserving an in-group protected by the law but not bound by it, and an out-group bound by the law but not protected by it.
