The people who aren’t shut their brains down the second they saw an insinuation that part of the reason for poverty is something other than poor people being sub-human.

You just proved my point even more. She does care what people think, she’s a model. Her life has been molded into revolving around other people’s opinions of her. So fine, you want to do that, go for it. But cut this shit and 1) don’t act like you don’t care about people’s opinions and 2) like you’re doing anything…

People missing the point will try to point out that she apparently was only using a pistol at the time, so likely not a type of gun that is currently being targeted by gun control advocates. But the real point is the disconnect between the dream—I will use this to protect my family!!!—and the reality—that it is far…

There has no doubt been some hateful rhetoric but do you really believe this was just a vote on hate vs. love? If life was generally good for people I doubt they’d be looking to drastically shake things up.

Shhh! Don't give them ideas! Unless it's Texas.... Or possibly Flordia....

And that’s one of many good reasons you need affirmative action—to counterbalance the enormous advantage that legacy candidates have.

you know, it really isn’t nice to speak ill of the dead...

I perfectly understand how the system works. Therefore I understand that voting for a Republican or Democrats matters very little as they are both corrupted by the system. Therefore I will vote for a party or candidate that is not corrupted.

the nra doesn’t “win” by funding candidates as they donate relatively small amounts of money. they succeed by galvanizing their supporters. congresspeople may receive hundreds of calls from local constituents giving a disproportionate slant of opinion on gun control. residents of swing states in particular need to be…

It’s icky, but I can’t imagine bothering to photograph or report this. I probably would’ve assumed it was an accident and ignored it.

A sad reminder that the Court’s liberal justices have not been the reliable check on police power that we would hope for.

Oh the shame! The early smear campaign was about divide-and-conquer identity politicking to keep the party centrist, in the hopes of winning the general election and avoid having to reform aspects of the DNC. To fend off a person for what he is.

He’s exercising the will of me, thank you very much.

In the grand scheme of corporate and government waste this is a mite in a drop in a bucket and just doesn’t raise my hackles at all

Where would that money go if it weren’t paying for a guy forcing Hillary to the left? It’s not like it’d go back in peoples pockets. The way budgets work, the service would just find other ways to spend it to justify spending in the next cycle.

Oh give me a fucking break! How much coin did Hillary’s support for the Iraq War and regime change in Libya and Syria cost the taxpayers? Enough of the sour fucking grapes from the media. 38k is a haircut for Hillary and weave for the Donald. How much taxpayer money went to funding primary elections for the private…

It was a pleasure. No one should be without this story in their life.

There is no doubt in my mind that he IS going to be remembered as one of the best presidents we’ve had. Thank you, Mr. President.

Honestly, I don’t think that would change the NRA’s stance at all, either. It might, maybe, finally, embolden some politicians who’ve kowtowed to them for years to say, “Okay, the public outrage on this issue is high enough that the political backlash for me if I don’t support at least some common-sense gun control…

I understand Aiden already has enough superdelegates in the 2056 election to clinch the nomination.
