2020 will be a shitshow.

The fact that being pro-life and being super pro-gun are ideologically aligned is super confusing to me - killing a fetus is bad, but killing someone who is trying to steal your phone or your stereo is ok?

They are like the Christian Coalition - they’ve totally abandoned any common sense or values in an effort to chase donors and political capital.

never gonna happen. never ever ever ever ever. and that’s not even taking into account that the democrats are unlikely to ever control enough states to actually push through a constitutional amendment. This is a dead issue. I hate guns, think guns are stupid, think the idea that guns protect you from bad guys is not…

I remember reading somewhere that the bulk of non-black market illegal gun sales (ie sales by legit gun dealers to people who shouldn’t be able to buy guns) is done by a handful of known bad actors, and if the government cracked down on these dealers, they’d eliminate many (but not all) of the illegal sales. ABC does…

I love the “gun laws don’t work so WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT PASS GUN LAWS.”

This drives me nuts. You don’t get to reinvent the rules of the English language so that you can feel special. People freak out about lower case names because in English. proper nouns are capitalized, and by having your name be lower case, you are asking people to break the rules of the language. And it’s dumb.

Especially since in 99% of the cases, the gender identity will match the sex of the child.

because it screws up the narrative? The same thing happens when they talk about diversity in tech - suddenly asians don’t count.

I am not one to judge nonprofit salaries, but he is grossly overpaid. He works for a $60 million dollar organization. That is way out of line with what is normal in even well-compensating c3s. For example, the head of the NRDC, which is a $250 M org, doesn’t clear a million. She makes about half that. In my experience…

Conservatives are super concerned about free speech when it involves being able to hold pro-trump rallies in liberal cities. Not so much when it concerns actually petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

I’m not shocked that there are racist idiots, but I am shocked that nursing homes and hospitals acquiesced to them by not hiring non-whites/not allowing non-whites to work on patients.

I lived in Italy for a while where they have a bajillion parties. You still end up with two parties - the left and the right, only they are coalitions rather than separate parties. Same difference, though. It wouldn’t magically solve anything. And what is most likely to happen is what happened in 2016 - the fringe…

Drain the swamp!!!!! The problem with this country is too many people in power know what the fuck they are doing! Get rid of career politicians and bueracrats and hire people who owe a favor to the president!!!!!!…

Your assuming that being liberal and being a gun owner are mutually exclusive. I don’t think they are, although I am a non-gun owning liberal. My take is that if I need a gun to protect myself from right wing wack jobs, I’m going to move to Italy and drive a cab.

I saw on twitter that breitbart editors are calling for new crusades, and claiming that if no muslims lived in the us there’d be zero terrorist attacks.

I don’t think white people should use the n word.

The fact that Paul is straight and not a gay man challenges everything I thought I knew. He just looks like a slightly skeezy bear.

Two things:

I checked out on Danzig after I read an interview with him 25 odd years ago in which he talked about which side he’d be on in a race war, and how he’d be on the white side because its a race war and he’s white something something. I read that and was like, I’m done. I still like early misfits tho.
