Giving props to Paul Ryan, however few, has left a bad taste in my mouth.

The most impressive part of this story is how low the numbers are. The most expensive wouldn’t even cover a high end Chevy Suburban.

Ken Calvert: “ Let us honor the Orlando victims by strengthening our resolve to defend the liberties that make America the extraordinary nation it is...”

It’s a way for people to cop out of difficult conversations. Very common in Facebook: “stop politicizing a tragedy" etc.

It is precisely the government job to discuss what to do to prevent this in the future. Society can mourn but we pay those I tips with our hard earned tax dollars to do something about it. It’s their damn fucking job.

When are we going to pass a federal anti-corruption act and get lobbyists’ money out of politics?

When Mr. Let’s Kill Social Security And Medicare is your party’s one voice of (relative) reason...goddamn.

I can assure you that Paul Ryan does not get it. He is running for president in 2020. He’s just trying to get more subdued quotes on the books, put them in his “moderate” bank account to cash in four years from now. The more I read about him, the more evil I realize he is. Be afraid.

This is an ideology that rejects who we are as a country: open, tolerant, free.

You’d think these guys wouldn’t have time to do their jobs with all the praying that’s going on.......

In a blog post, he blamed the attack on ISIS. “Of course there has been a knee-jerk call for more gun control. (The New York Daily News’ headline the day after the shooting was “THANKS, NRA”). Some gay-rights activists are blaming the “Christian Right.” Planned Parenthood blames “toxic masculinity” (whatever that…

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why shouldn’t we be talking about gun control when something like this happens? Is it somehow outlandish for a government to look at a tragedy and think “how can I stop this from happening in the future?”

Yes it is! And when a blouse makes the stunning Deborah Ann Woll look shapeless, there’s something wrong with the cut. I don’t know why Ann would want this. Maybe it’s mainly the crisp pattern that she likes? I dig the violety-blue on white, too, but that’s about the only thing I can say for it.

That is a cute blouse. But I'm totally disillusioned with Modcloth at the moment. I bought some dresses from them after stalking the site for yeeeeeears and the quality is just not worth the price.

I don’t agree with having a draft at all (mostly because I don’t think we need near the military force we already have, and if there were a real reason to go to war that everyone agreed on, there would be plenty of volunteers), but I agree that if we have one there is no reason not to include women.

Instead of the draft, I wonder what the politicians and voting public would think about a national service program, similar to the various countries around the world? National service for two years, for everyone regardless of socio-economics, race, creed or sexual orientation. To work locally and beyond on federal…

I’m agnostic on the draft itself, but if we are going to have it then all citizens who are fit to serve should be required to register.

The headline is bare-bones-absolutely-factual. You chose to read into it and you chose to jump all over Jia.

fuck off
