You want children of the corn?

Guns are the second-leading cause of death of children and teens in the United States, after motor vehicle crashes. In 2016, the most recent year for which data are available, they killed nearly 3150 people aged 1 to 19, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta.

“Contrary to Ted Cruz’s assertions” should basically be the Democratic party’s platform at this point.

Remember that video of the gun nuts putting a powerful gun in a little girl’s hands and then she accidentally blew her trainer’s head off because she couldn’t control it, a nightmare she’ll have to live with until the day she died?

Where are the right-wingers complaining “fathers matter” on this day?

Along with the notion that the victim should have been better prepared, and thus holds some responsibility for what was done to them.

Pretty sure they’re suggesting that unarmed children are to blame for school shootings.

I’m struck by the similarities between the spin put on gun violence and that put on rape culture. The right always leans on this bogeyman stranger intending to do harm to you and your family rather than the inconvenient truth that violence is more often perpetrated by the devils we know.

The only regret I have about Atwater’s death is that it wasn’t more prolonged and agonizing.

And televised...

It was a test, Mike. To see if you’d actually go back and count. And you did. I’m disappointed.

Lol you’re keeping yourself busy. Again, Billie Eilish is not my thing. Neither is LDR. Couldn’t care less. I’m not heated, I just think you’re trying a little too hard to show your edginess. It is funny to watch someone pound the sand so hard about shit they don’t like, but I admit I’m getting bored.

Mike I would just suggest to you that you use your time writing about music you do like instead of wasting so much time screaming into the void about something you hate. We got it dude. Your dozen or so comments in defense of not like Billie Eilish makes it clear you’re not a fan. I’m not a fan, either. I don’t listen…

You can not enjoy her music all you want, where you crossed the opinion immunity threshold was when you established with all of your expertise that she was untalented. 

your opinion has been noted and promptly thrown in the trash.

I don’t really listen to her tunes because it’s not for me, but I’m absolutely a fan of anyone who makes white dudes (because let’s face it, it’s always white dudes, I know because I’ve done it) go apoplectic over the “state of music today”.  I remember when Justin Bieber first hit and boy oh boy did the guy with a…

Mike the marvelous edgelord would probably be more appropriate

Not trying to pile on, but I think the point of her doing this was for it to be about what SHE likes and wants. Like, I can see not making it perfect or maximizing aesthetic coherence being a deliberate choice.

I don’t listen to her, either, but it doesn’t bother me for other people to like her music. It’s funny when people feel the need to make sure everyone knows they don’t like something. It’s like, ok, who cares? It’s even more funny when it’s not enough for someone to say that they don’t like something - they need to…

If we’ve learned anything, America is a nation that respects young and attractive women, and have a profound understanding of boundaries and appropriate behavior. I’m sure it will all work out splendidly, and the focus will remain on her work, and not her appearance.
