And because he’s a murderous madman with true dictatorial ambitions who happens to be exceedingly popular in his own country. Duterte represents everything Trump wants - near absolute power, cult of personality, and the veneer of democratic legitimacy.

Oh someone in his administration will try to teach him the math that says that it is more lucrative to imprison a thousand people in for-profit prisons for drug use than to completely dry up the supply chain by putting the major dealers to death.

Trump only likes Duterte because Duterte called Obama a ‘son of a whore” and told him to ‘got to Hell’.

Fire your editor. You have three extraneous words on the end of that headline.

Trump isn’t even bothering to pretend anymore. He and the GOP want to break government as much as possible (while blaming Democrats) and their base absolutely love it. Until the second something happens that impacts them directly or makes them scared. Then government can’t act fast enough or be big enough. On bright…

Ah yes, Marco “The Tinman” Rubio.

Unfortunately, yes. The launch of that show was one of the catalysts for the Russo article I wrote last year: https://deadspin.com/vince-russo-one-of-pro-wrestlings-biggest-bullshit-art-1794338204

I think you’re probably right: her job isn’t to defend the NRA’s indefensible positions, it’s to performatively attack “liberals” to convince their base to double down.

Ever heard Russo’s bizarre “Castrating The Marks And The Dirtsheets” editions of his car-crash podcast? It’s just... weird. And he thinks he’s doing it for their own good!

This is an interesting argument: Sure, he had only been at it for a few weeks over a quarter century ago, but did Russo completely folding when WWE was nice to him poison the well? I suppose it’s possible, especially since you can’t take his version of what happened at face value and there’s probably a lot about that…

I believe the problem has nothing to do with Meltzer, Keller, Ross, or even yourself.

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣....stop...I just spewed my scotch...😂😂🤣

(trying to decide if I should reveal to Pink Floyd Mayweather III that even on rainy days the sun still rises....)

Actually... er... no, I didn’t open my window this morning - what a coincidence!

I’m surprised no one has commented on the fact that gun sales also rise and then go completely through the roof with even a mention of a gun law.

I used to like target shooting and participated in a variety of shooting sports including NRA Bullseye, steel plates and bowling pin shoots. I don’t like shooting at uncontrolled ranges because of the number of unsafe idiots scare me. I quit any gun owners groups a long time ago due to their fanatic opposition to even…

I am pretty sure she is auditioning for S.H.S.’s job over the White house if she ever leaves. It would be a natural fit.

Thank you ! I know that might sound surprising but actually I recovered very well from this night, mentally and emotionally. I’ll be honest, in the first 2 or 3 months my mind wandered back to it on a regular basis, I checked emergency exits in concerts and felt very disturbed watching Nocturama’s ending (great movie…

I saw it. Thank you and thank you for your story as well. Wish I could buy you a round.

Wow, that gave me chills. So glad you are physically ok and I’m sorry for the anguish you must carry. Be well and thanks for the comment.
