Hm. Now I am conflicted. 

If there was such a season and I live in a no-gun-rights state, can I hunt with a shovel?

Whats funny is first, assaulting or harrassing people in bathrooms is already illegal, and second, a trans-woman in a ‘womans’ bathroom will be in a stall - no one will recognize a ‘female presenting’ trans woman as anything out of the ordinary as she enters and exits the stall.

Your take: Jesus is aspirational

I was on the fence, but as a kid who rode in smoke-dank cars, I saw ‘smoker’ and went straight from ‘fuckit money’ to CP.

I’ll take “What is ‘not a damn thing’ for $10,000...”

They will point to the supreme court, gerrymandering, voter suppression and tax ‘reform’ and call it a win.

Sadly, it is not new - read the articles of secession for any of the slave states. They are very specific about the ‘why’. The whole ‘States rights/Northern aggression’ bullshit excuse came after the war. Even (Treasonous Loser) General Lee wrote about the phenomenon at the time. As we have seen time and again, if you…

Seconded on the term change.

Fair point.

Modern history (last 100 years) has seen a steady increase in people no longer being able or (better) willing to close their eyes to the impact of history on our present circumstances. We still have a ways to go, but I am hopeful we do not go back to days when a slave-trading barbarian can have a nice monument to…

That is heartening, but we still have several states that execute people.

Americans think, wrongly, it discourages people from committing violent crimes and, also wrongly, that ‘Eye for an eye’ is a solid ethical argument. We also prefer to spend huge amounts of money on death penalty prosecutions and appeals instead of on rehabilitating nonviolent criminals who will one day walk the…

Which as I read it, is exactly what the majority argued. My snark was targeted at the dissenters, whose entire argument seems to be based on a very limited understanding of what ‘sex’ even meant - that the law should not follow the very definitions of the words it uses.

Yeah, that screamed ‘politicize the economy’ but as it sounded like that was his intent (and completely untenable) so I skipped to the Green New Deal bit, as funding that should not depend on *who* manages but rather on *how* it is managed which I am curious about.

How was it so easy to kick this officer out, yet so hard to kick out officers who actually, demonstrably commit manslaughter or murder?

Umm, minor quibble, the Empire deliberately destroyed the elected republican government, then proceeded to traipse about blowing up planets occupied by those who opposed them.

Howie does well on what money is.

You are probably correct, but at this point, Ill take the (unanticipated) win.

Its the ‘Metroid: Prime’ of movies.
