My understanding was that a lot of kosher rules aren’t specifically prohibited by any particular law, it’s just a lot of erring on the side of caution. Like “Don’t boil a kid in its mother’s milk” is pretty clearly “Don’t eat a goat cooked in the milk of that particular goat’s mother,” but imagine standing before the…

Heh. There was a first-generation immigrant, Tony, calling in to On Point yesterday and complaining that these Mexicans dig tunnels to send pregnant women across the border because then they have babies here and the babies are citizens and that’s just wrong that we grant citizenship to these criminals. “You say your…

There’s a real difference between “Yeah, we should extricate ourselves from the EU” versus “We should crash out and have medicine shortages!”

Because he won’t take more than ten steps between the residence bathroom and the residence TV room?  When have you ever seen Trump out and about doing anything other than walking to a helicopter?  I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in a public space that wasn’t a rally or something.

Joe Biden might want to stop pining over his friendships with Republican Senators and touting the Heritage Foundation healthcare plan if he doesn’t want to be called “Republican-lite” then. Reaching out for some mythical moderates who are willing to support fascist Republicans but miiiiiggghhhttt vote for a moderate…

1: “The more personal and petty the politics are the harder it is going to be to emerge from the party convention with a unified base, no matter what all the vanquished candidates say about supporting the winner.”

If the purpose of this primary is to select a nominee that we’re all going to get behind, then Diet Republican Joe Biden and his “How’re you going to pay for it?” whining aren’t really needed at this stage.

I’m curious how “we need a candidate who can stand up and beat Trump” squares with “oh, you can’t say anything mean about him!” Trump will also be calling Biden “Sleepy Joe” or “Forgetful Joe” or whatever, the only difference is that Trump won’t be clever enough or remember enough to catch when Biden immediately…

Tucker Carlson has been passing this talking point for a while now, that any sort of gun ban would be a defacto declaration of war against whoever watches his show. I guess the “Thin Blue Line COPS ARE HEROES!!!” crowd feels differently about shooting federal agents...

Honestly?  He sounds like someone who looks up to and tries to emulate George W Bush.  He’s a stupider George W Bush.  

I only come here for the comments, and those never seem to work in the live blogs anyway...

What an uplifting and inspiring scene where, uh, some people argued over whether or not a lady was dead yet.

Well, shit or like, the inmate who tattles on everyone.  They aren’t very self-aware.

Yeah, this was something that I sort of planned to try out and then ignore, so hearing it’s sort of boring seems okay. At worst it seems like a mini game to grind for heart pieces and collectibles, which would not be the first time Link’s Awakening has given me that experience. 

That makes sense; every article from Labor Day weekend was overrun with trolls. Away from home with a long weekend seems like the sort of thing that would cause a friendless wingnut child to lash out online. 

Yeah, the trolling gets real thick here around elections, but this seems like a lot for this early in the primary. 

I fully expect that, following the round-up of however many homeless people are swept up in their dragnet, the warehouse they’re sending these people to will send out 10 million absentee ballots voting for Trump on Election Day.

I rad some speculation that “he manages a hedge fund” is one of those valid reasons for rich people to send him money without anyone raising much concern. Like, if you presented a wealthy guy with a child to rape and now you have photos that would send him to jail, explain that you manage a hedge fund and he’ll send…

You hear about how Trump was raised in his bedroom by a nanny, and when I hear Barrrron speaking with his mother’s accent I have some doubts about all the “Maybe Barrron will turn out okay” wishfull thinking.

Poor Barrrron, he probably spent all day worrying he’d have to start doing the Ivanka stuff with Mom’s friend.
