ICE is completely superfluous. It’s less than 20 years old and all it’s managed to do is accelerate the militarization of civilian law enforcement.

Call it the “Schrödinger’s Gat” hypothesis.

You see, your second amendment rights inhabit a probability field, and in this field they are both under siege and not under siege simultaneously. However when you observe or measure it it snaps into a binary yes/no position and rendered into just one siege/not surged position. Therefore Trump is right, but only if…

You are right to point that out, but since Trump said that, a president who is still holding speeches as if he would be on the campaign trail (“Crppked Hillary”), this makes sense from his perspective. Forget that time is linear and everything is happening at once in his addled brain (it’s happening as it should be…

Currently that’s how the world works because we allow it to operate in said fashion. We could change that.

This is the most depressing picture ever taken at Kent State.

The ‘offending’ prayer:

Or, you know, we could just not flood the world with massive amounts of incredibly powerful weapons with barely any accountability, planning or overall strategy?

As a media trade journalist since the late 1980's, I had some exposure to Sinclair Broadcast Group’s Baltimore-based executives — I can just tell you they are some of the most wacked-out, Murdoch-style Far Right monopolists and wingnuts in any American industry sector. David Smith, one of the sons of the founders and…

Fair point to make, but the content of the message, while ironic, isn’t really the problem I might have with this, but rather the growing centralization of media voices by conservative megacorps. This is a spectacular example of editorial control by a company that at best is crassly commercial and restricts local…

Yeah, it’s already happening. As Carmen Fanzone points out below, they’ve got WGN, which goes way beyond Chicago. I believe they’ve also acquired WPIX in New York.

in all honesty, and i never reply on these things, but this is maybe the scariest thing i’ve seen in a very long time. it’s not about WHAT they’re saying, it’s THAT they’re saying it under the guise of regular news. holy hell.

KOMO suuuuuuuuucks.
