“The legislation, which passed the House and Senate on Thursday, also contained what’s called a “pay-go waiver”...”

NOLA can’t be re-branded and marketed as a tropical paradise for the wealthy and/or well-connected. Puerto Rico, however...

I’m not so sure. The tax bill is pushed through, and the donor class doesn’t actually gives a rat’s ass about the Republican agenda on anything else. All 45 can do going forward is keep the base stirred up and frighten the moderates into fleeing in droves, and none of the establishment politicians want to see that. If…

You’re assuming that any of them have thought far enough ahead to figure out that part.

I constantly have to argue with my brother who thinks I should just “pop down” to Florida for a visit that even ignoring the fact that I don’t happen to have a budget that allows popping, I can think of almost nothing that doesn’t sound better than spending a day dealing with the TSA, changing planes in Atlanta (which…

Announcing that Trump supporters will continue to vote for him no matter how badly his policies screw them over simply because they cherish the idea that it will piss off a bunch of random strangers that they don’t know and will never meet doesn’t do much to encourage me to try to engage with them.

Would I assume that the person with said hypothetical bumper sticker is a booger eating moron of the highest order? Absolutely.

Now I’m curious. Is Screaming Door Lady the same person as Yelled At For Saying Merry Christmas Lady? Or perhaps they’re neighbors?

From the way the timeline is laid out in everything I’ve read (and assuming that there are no major details left out), the first statement he gave seems completely admissable. It’s the second statement, made after the “why don’t you give me a lawyer, dog” comment, that’s problematic. Allowing police to pretend that…

Ewwww....brain bleach, please. Because I absolutely do not need that image in my head.

The only liberals that have given Polanski even the slightest thought in the last 20 years or so are hardcore movie buffs, hardcore true crime buffs, and/or over 45.

If y’all don’t mind, I think I’ll join you. After taking a long decontamination shower.

Christ on a damn cracker - so you’re only going to be happy if the statute actually uses the word ‘harassment’? Well, okey dokey, then. Since we’ve talking about Colorado, I’ll stick to that jurisdiction: 18-9-111 C.R.S.

Whipping out your wiener without consent falls into the category of what is generally referred to as lewd and lascivious behavior, and it is most definitely a crime. If you want statute numbers, you’re going to have to be more specific, because I’m *not* going to look up statutes for 50 states and the District of…

Except no, most states don’t require actual contact or penetration, they just have a different name for it. Most states classify what LCK did as lewd behavior, and it’s most certainly against the law.

Rule #34 corollary - Whatever you do, do NOT google whatever bizarre thing just popped into your head just to see if it exists as a porn niche. It does, and you will never get that vision out of your head.

Actually, SCOTUS doesn’t disagree with Ron. Despite the way some people like to waive the Heller flag, it’s not remotely as far-reaching as people seem to believe. It only says that there cannot be a blanket banning of all firearms. Scalia himself in his decision notes that restrictions can be placed on gun ownership.

But you’re misstating their reasoning. The founders had seen the way the British used their massive and well-trained standing army to abuse the citizenry, and they were determined not to follow that same path. Their intention was to allow the states to create a system of local militias that could be called up by the…

Um, no. The Constitution actually was designed to give the federal government *more* authority than it was afforded in the original Articles of Confederation, because oddly enough, allowing the states to do whatever they damn well please turned out not to work so well.

You left out the part where Scalia specifically stated that the Second Amendment is not an unlimited right, and gave the OK to bans on specific types of guns, licensing and registration requirements, and laws that restrict some people from gun ownership at all, among other gun control measures.
