Not sure where you’re getting “neoliberal nonsense” from. Gov. Snyder (and, by extension, the members of his administration, like Lyon) are Republicans.

You just don’t get it, Jujy. The best people to regulate an industry is the people in the industry itself, they are the experts and know what the best way to proceed is. Self-regulation is also good economically — win-win!

Part of his sentencing should be to pay the water bills for every one of those homes that’s been poisoned.

Flint’s water crisis happened because state officials made a temporary switch in the water supply and did not properly treat the water with an anti-corrosive agent. That decision caused the harsh water to eat away at the pipes as it traveled to homes. Lead pipes leeched lead into the water, poisoning hundreds. Iron…

the blood from the anger in my face has proceeded southward.

Bullshit. You start by saying you are not blaming her and then do exactly that. What makes gun crimes so common in the U.S. is our lax gun laws. It is not comedians, shock artists or violent video games. It is that nut jobs and disturbed people can obtain guns very easily in our country.

Well, I hope you spoke out equally when people were talking about putting Hillary Clinton against a wall. Or showing images of Obama in a noose.

If you need someone to blame, maybe start here instead.

Everyone else has to live with the threat of being gunned down by a madman at any minute, the people who make gun-friendly laws should have to as well.

It’s also irresponsible to vote for a president who we all knew would deepen racial and political divides and create more extremism in this country. But we sure as hell did it, didn’t we. And folks are surprised that there are more shootings, more domestic terror, more hate crimes, more brazen extremist violence. This…

I loved how Republicans response to the Kathy Griffin bit was to clutch their pearls so tightly their knuckles turned white and hound the offender out of the public eye, but when faced with actual violence (Greg Gianforte) they happily voted the guy into office.

Tell us about all the left-wing militias, please.

No they’re not. This idiotic line of reasoning is what leads equality idiotic people to blame violence on video games and rap music.

I put the disclaimer there for a reason. I’m not blaming her at all. I think this is (in all likelihood) completely unrelated to that picture. What I’m doing is using this instance as a point of departure to an earlier conversation.

Yup, which is why basically no one on the left actually defended the image as good art, they mostly were calling out a hypocritical response by R’s.

LOL WUT. I’m no fan of Kathy Griffin and think what she did is dumb, but this shit’s a hell of a reach. Pretty sure the Twinkie defense is on stronger ground than whatever the hell this is.

If you think Kathy Griffins stupid act is what motivated this, you are delusional. You really think it was the Kathy Griffin beheading photo that gave this guy the inkling to go to the field and shoot Government officials? Man that’s just a bad take .

I agree with you. I know, I know, they did it to Obama without shame, but still... We can’t pretend that these jokes don’t act as little earworms in the brains of stupid people, gnawing away at what little is left and giving them ideas.

Thank god they’ve got excellent health care!

Kind of an aside, but I’ve seen Tom Cotton perform on television more than I’d ever wanted to see him these past few years. And, it hit me, he’s the perfect example of why we need to tell miserable little children who find it their mission to inflict their misery upon others very early and very often that they are…
