“On Thursday, Senate Republicans voted down gun-control measures that would have restricted anyone on the No-Fly list from being able to purchase firearms in the United States.”

no-holds-barred obama is the best obama

Hmmm. Y’know, I think if anyone’s having a ‘rough fucking week’, it’s the people who died, and those close to them.

Yes! People see my opinion of “no guns for anyone” as “extreme” but I work in public health and I have no idea why people think that something that has 0 advantage as owning a gun and lots of risks for the gun owner and his household members and even friends is seen as anything but a public health threat. I’m willing…

Also true for a strict literal reading of the Bible, so are you condemning religion in general or just Christianity and Islam?

Mass shootings just this year. Just. This. Year. Interactive map at the link. I don’t know, maybe it’s time to do something about the proliferation of military hardware in this country?

Thanks for the incredible insight.

I just love being in an ecology program right now and reading new articles every week about various things being irretrievably lost/destroyed/altered. I especially love it when brainless, money-grubbing scum like this do their utmost to further an erroneous stance and worsen our already-rapid decline.

That’s pretty much all I have to contribute at this point. I am just deeply exhausted trying to fight this seemingly endless tide of idiocy, bigotry, sexism, racism, Islamophobia, climate change denial....the list never seems to fucking end.

Not just bought, but bought cheap. $600K could buy you a nice but definitely nonmansion house in many areas of my city.

It’s certainly one of those “truth is stranger and far more horrifying than fiction” things. After Wednesday’s events, I thought I wanted to just move under the sea, into some biodome situation. Then I started singing to myself “under the sea, under the sea, no mass shooting, just mass polluting, under the sea.” Yeah,…

It’s like the fact that he filed this frivolous lawsuit helps prove their case.

You couldn’t write these guys. No hyperbole, I mean it literally. If you invented villains as cartoonish as the Republican leadership, the Kochs, Murdoch, Ailes, Trump, etc, etc, you’d be mocked harder than E.L. James is in her worst nightmares.

Fantastic, if maybe disheartening article. He wins my vote for THE WORST. Period.

Even if climate change wasn’t a thing at all, how can you see cleaner energy as a bad thing?

Wait, is that a trick question?

O.K., I’ll bite:

Know a lot about trauma, and how it effects each individual person? Read some rape stories, and you'll find a common thread is the denial that it was rape. That the person they're in a relationship with would never do that. They tell themselves it was everything but rape, until they can't anymore. This is not uncommon.
