The one benefit of not having any government is, after all, that there’s no government to corrupt.

Can Armand Assante be there to shout back “The Lawwwwww!” at him if that happens? Please?

I don’t agree with the law at all, but, and I really hate to say this, based on how Congress wrote the law, how Kavanaugh is reading it is probably correct. Congress could’ve passed a law that had stipulations for the severity of the crime and how long ago it was committed, but they didn’t. Whether or not that’s…

Interesting, now show me how what you said got all those guys elected from their respective states in the first place. The Electoral College didn’t do that. True or false: McConnell, slime bag that he is, got elected by a majority of voters from his state. Just like every other Senator there. Blame the Senate’s own…

Because pointing out the fact that he’s leaning on how he routinely uses guns for a purpose liberals claim they have no problem with as a way to bolster his popularity in a state where large numbers of people do the exact same thing every day, in an election that is already very tight, in a state the Democrats…

I mean, when a thing has proceeded every major market crash, downturn, recession, whatever you want to call it for the past 100 years, it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out that maybe you need to make sure that thing doesn’t happen if you don’t want your economy to go to shit at a rapid pace.

Oh of course! But none who purport to support executive power and privilege like Kavanaugh does. That’s why Trump wanted him on no matter what. Well that and Trump just legitimately doesn’t give a shit if the allegations against Kavanaugh are true.

Based on his previous rulings and dissents on the appellate court, Kavanaugh’s record is considered extremely gun-rights friendly. The logic goes that with him on the Supreme Court, it will pretty much guarantee that the current rights of gun owners either stay the same or end up getting expanded should any cases…

Gee, and here I was just the other day saying that the impending inversion of the yield curve will be the first major indicator that the economy is about to go in the dumper.

Not at all, but mob rule is not democracy. There’s no give and take here. See the way the two halves of Congress are supposed to work is, they each propose legislation, debate it, hammer out the details and reach a compromise that works for everyone. Not what we have now where the ruling party of the day just swings…

This is why if you have any doubts whatsoever, you should regularly verify that you’re registered to vote. Last thing you want is to be surprised come election day and get turned away.

Leave it to Splinter to not pass up and opportunity to whine about guns while also dragging someone they need to win through the mud because god forbid they differ slightly from the Progressive Manifesto.

Yes, because those groups should be allowed to run roughshod over the rest of us just because a bunch of morons want to live on top of each other there rather than spreading out.

If this is an example of what the Democrats are going to have on offer in 2020, better just start preparing for four more years of Trump now.

Bipolar people can suffer from all kinds of delusions when they’re in a manic state. To them, whatever they believe is very real. Like just as real as anything you or I have actually experienced. A close friend of mine (this happened before I knew he was bipolar) had a delusion his dad died while visiting family…

Dude, you’re getting awfully ornery over something that’s just a neat historical tidbit. There’s correspondence between Washington and one of the presidents of the Continental Congress where he refers to him as “president of these United States” or something very similar, I’m paraphrasing from 20+ years ago of reading…

It’s really a degree of semantics and whether or not you consider any of the presidents of the Continental Congress or under the Articles of Confederation “presidents of the United States”. George Washington was the first president under the Constitution, so he gets the credit.

We’ve all seen dicks we weren’t supposed to see.

The was a bar I used to go to that only had single occupant bathrooms, so you better believe that when someone was taking too long in the men’s room (usually because they were throwing up or snorting coke), I would use the ladies’ bathroom. Like, it’s the 21st century folks. If you gotta go, you gotta go. Just don’t…

Kanye is fortunate he has enough money to offset the damage his mental illness does to his life. Seriously. A buddy of mine who is bipolar went off his meds and had a pretty severe delusion, blew a bunch of money on drugs, almost lost his job. Once I found out what was going on, he got help but man, shit got heavy…
