A survey 8 years ago found that 3% of Americans are gun-hoarders with 8-140 guns, making up a total 50% of all guns in the US. And there are a *lot* of guns in America. (Come to think of it, I probably qualify as one of those folks...)

My sister is an attorney, and she told me judges frequently pack heat given that they have the power to really negatively affect people’s lives. She knows of one judge who keeps a handgun underneath his bench. 

Oh, thank God, what a relief. I was worried someone might make the argument guns are used impulsively. But apparently he could have murdered his wife with a chair, while his adult son sat by and watched, I guess? Fortunately it didn’t come to that.

I think the initial clip is perfect in its length and the use of a single (and perfect) location gives it a fun, tossed-off vibe. The full-length video feels a lot more deliberately jokey and less concerned with nailing an aesthetic. But hey, if this helps him sell some singles and maybe chart in some capacity, groovy.

Come on, didn't you know the correct term for a rich white guy hoarding guns is “gun collector”?

If only the good people, son and wife, were armed there would have been a totally different outcome.  All 3 would be dead.  But, of course, it’s not the guns.  

Usually I don’t like polished TikTok content (multicamera, smooth editing, etc.) but this is a spot-on parody (the almost-correct English, the swap-out female vocalist) of the kind of dance music I spent most of the late 90s and early 2000s trying to get laid to in crappy bars so I’m totally here for it. EVERYBODY…

JFC, what the hell do you need 48 firearms and 26k rounds of ammunition for.... Going to start a little private war?

I did not understand how people were going to this movie and loving it (??) to the point that they gave Sandra an OSCAR for playing an aggressively bitchy, know-it-all, pushy white savior.

All I know is….

That’s not a conspiracy theory, they have stated in the past they use stalling as a tactic. I’m not sure if there is any way to recall people that were appointed, but I would imagine it either isn’t possible or they don’t have the numbers so this is the only way to make sure GOP loyalists get the jobs.

I don’t know it fits all the elements of a “conspiracy theory” when it seems obvious to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention. Is there really anyone manically erecting plot boards about the GQP’s campaign to radicalize the military, or voting rights or bodily autonomy for that matter?

Conspiracy theory: The plan is to pull a Merrick Garland and keep the positions open until Inauguration Day. If the GOP wins the presidency, they’ll want to appoint toadies so the Pentagon stays on side in the next autogolpe.

lol, okay. “I think it’s very likely that there’s human trafficking, I just don’t have the time to check”.

They should sue him over defamation. This is the type of thing that will bring psychos on them sending death threats or worse.

One of the least-populated states is so overwhelmed by human trafficking within its borders that its AG doesn’t have enough manpower to keep up with it? Sounds like something that definitely isn’t a bold lie made up on the spot!

Guy who wants to claim he’s smart can’t fucking understand words.  

The Dude is a bought and paid for smokeshow. He is basically the equivalent of a GOP pointing and going ‘look, you are just as bad as our shitbags!’. They probably would have tried resurrecting the corpse of Lyndon LaRouche to get on the ticket if they couldn’t get this wingnut.

So he’s a full on liar (this time through proxies) in addition to being an anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist, and anti-semite?  Not much of a leap I suppose.
