Great. Please campaign for those reforms among other gun-owning people you know IRL, because 95% of the time, people I talk to here in Arizona think there’s no problem with the free-for-all system we currently have, think my MIL did nothing wrong, and want nothing more than to make it even easier and more legal for…

But I still don’t think ownership with reasonable requirements is a societal burden.

My inlaws are what a lot of people would probably like to call “responsible gun owners”. They definitely fancy themselves as such too. They own tons of guns, like to hunt, and brag about how well they think they protect their house.

Yeah, “she” is an account that doesn’t have any other posts - it was created just to comment on this article. 

Correct. Men who actually, honestly plan to professionally work with women, whether as a mentor, a colleague, superior, or subordinate, and don’t plan on being a creep about it, are the ones who don’t really have to think twice about doing so.

When I was a teenager, the confirmation process in my highly-progressive church involved learning about the *actual history* of the Bible, including who actually wrote each book, how it was designed by various theocratic committees, how different religious sects include different parts, and how much was tossed out, cob…

Indeed:

Wow, you actually taught me something new about iOS!

Not to disagree with anything you’re saying, except that I think HSI is administratively *part* of ICE.

As a Utahn, voting in my state largely doesn’t matter.

Left-wing absolutism aside, there is a reasonable argument to be made that the “old way” was better, less harsh, and less abusive: we had two separate agencies, the INS (immigration and naturalization service) and the Customs Service. Even just the name “Immigration and Naturalization Service” signaled a…

she’s at least been decisive enough to jump onto bills early (Bernie’s longshot M4A bill among them) and take strong stances on some social issues. Then again, she thinks ICE should exist.

The top picture is of Tijuana Beach where it intersects with the US-Mexico border at the Pacific Ocean. The kids in the picture are in Mexico - that beach is actually quite busy a lot of the time. The fence has been there, in some form, since at least the 1970s.

Well, the bill for back pay has been passed by the House and Senate. It hasn’t been signed by the President yet. So while it’s fairly certain, it’s not guaranteed yet.

Perhaps in a Nixon like situation, where he’d agree to resign on the promise that Pence would immediately pardon him (and likely, his entire family). Which is what Nixon and Ford worked out.

he would have already named a Vice Pres, right

Yeah... most of my friends (virtually all young, liberal cityfolk) don’t understand marginal tax rates either.

No, it was certainly a man, I’m not disputing that. I’m just saying that there’s also lots of *other* horrible things that could happen to a vulnerable person in a nursing home - rape being one of the worst, but certainly not the most common, types of abuse. Chaperoning all men in all places in the nursing home could…

I would think anybody visiting a vulnerable or vegetative person in a nursing home, who is unable to speak or communicate for themselves, should probably be monitored. Maybe by video, if *nothing else*.

It’s also entirely possible a non-staff-member man who raped her too. It could have been another resident (not everyone who lives in long term care is bedridden), it could have been a family member (or even a husband?), it could have been some creep who visited someone else and wandered in.
