He literally said “under universal background checks I couldn’t loan my friends guns”. Uh, why not? Could they not pass background checks?

Good lord is Rothman a buffoon. First of all, borrowing a gun isn’t like getting a cup of sugar from your neighbor. If you’re going to be dealing with those kinds of animals, you have the gun to take care of predators. Second of all, a .22 isn’t going to kill “varmint”. Rothman listed one of the ONLY instances where…

Dan Crenshaw is a moron, it’s kind of amazing. He’s like Mike Huckabee, but 100 pounds lighter and with PTSD.

Counterpoint: Marianne isn’t complaining about being left out of the debate. 

I use a dry-herb vape. It’s the best of all worlds!

The FBI and their use in carrying out a white supremacist agenda reminded me of a discussion I had recently: on the one hand, the fact that people think of J. Edgar Hoover as a crossdresser (because of an urban legend) makes me happy because I know he would be infuriated by it. On the other hand, it pisses me off…

Don’t forget his most recent scam of trying to convince people on Signal he was Soledad O’Brien to get information on Hasan Piker. 

Toss up: who’s worse? Marianne or Tulsi?

Dan Crenshaw is the type of right wing pud who comes along and says crazy shit in a way that doesn’t sound crazy until you think about it and the media finds him charming. He’s like a thinner Mike Huckabee. 

Give my team six rings and I would chill the fuck out for life (or at least, I’d like to think I would). The precise opposite has happened with Pats fans. With every success, they grow more paranoid and defensive and BRO BOB KRAFT IS SUCH A BOSS IF I WERE HIM I’D BE FUCKIN’ TOO.

There’s a scene in Match Point where Scarlett and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers are making out in a field of high grass. And I just imagined Woody Allen slowly emerging over the grass and rubbing his hands together as he watched them.

During the making of Match Point Woody Allen would ask Scarlett Johansson questions like “tell me about when you lost your virginity”. So, even if Allen isn’t a rapey scumbag (he is) he’s certainly guilty of sexual harassment. 

He gayed away the pray! Good for him!

Yes, yes, and yes. Currently doing all three. 

You would be WRONG! But you’re grokking my point, which is that every generation of the right advances in technology and influences the GOP base. First it was the National Review with the Eisenhower/Nixon era. Then it was Rush Limbaugh with the Reagan era. Then it was Fox News with the W. era. Now it’s Breitbart with…

Oh God, our next generation is going to be influenced by youtubers and it’s going to be terrible. 

Can Labour pick a leader who isn’t an anti-semite? Johnson sucks but so does Corbyn. 

Thankfully, I think this speaks to how moribund the KKK is these days.

When I talked about regulating them like automatic weapons (AR-15 and other so-called “assault rifles”) I meant allowing them to be legal to buy, just with a stringent process to own (having to register, etc. etc. etc.).
