It’s time for the boomers and older to finally pass on the baton to the next generation.

The United States simply lags behind in animal rights, compared to other developed nations - hardly surprising, it’s also lagging behind in human rights. Shelters and veterinarians in other nations for instance are not allowed to euthanize animals unless it’s a medical necessity, so killing 2.000 dogs every day like

In any case I would argue that he has a better chance of winning than he did the first time (when he had about a one in three chance), given the power of incumbency and how solidified the base has become in red states. That is, if the economy doesn’t tank as it did during the Obama-McCain race.

Shelters and pet shops are not allowed to sell animals over the holiday period in some places, which really should be a national law if possible, as far as I’m concerned.

It’s not like your health insurance can cover someone else if you hurt them.

The day when the configuration of the Supreme Court until the year 2050 was decided by the voters was November 8th, 2016. One candidate, the one with no political experience whatsoever, heavily campaigned on a Supreme Court shortlist to win over voters who would have otherwise stayed home - the other candidate, the

I’m less confident in Nancy Pelosi than you are. But more confident in her than in Chuck Schumer. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t consider him a poor successor of Harry Reid.

Other than Hillary Clinton, I can’t think of a Democratic candidate who would hand Donald Trump a second term as surely as Elizabeth Warren.

If he actually wanted to scale back the American empire, he wouldn’t have raised the already ridiculously high military budget by another 20% and needlessly escalated hostilities with North Korea and Iran, two conflicts that could still turn bloody with one more misstep during the next two years of his first term.

Always a good sign when a man with his finger on the nuclear button starts ranting in the 3rd person about military decisions, right?

I’d go with the alternative ending of Butterfly Effect and eliminate the fetus in 1945. It’s the only way to be sure.

Survivor’s bias at work here - nine times out of ten, he dies in that Dom-jot bar at age 22 and never makes it to a “life in obscurity as a middling science officer”, which isn’t the worst thing compared to dying young and eternal nothingness, or living out the rest of his life as a severely mentally and physically

Inject an Orca with roids for a decade and watch what happens.

I wonder if these people actually care about Sanders’ policies, or if they’re more like Hooligans, who care less about soccer and more about beating up people.

Hot, socialist take: Public utilities (like electricity and water) should be controlled by public entities that answer to the voters in their municipalities, not by private, for-profit corporations looking to squeeze costs wherever they can, that answer to investment funds managed out of New York or London.

It’s simpler than that: We know he was on the phone with Turkish dictator Erdogan right before he made the call to withdraw the troops from Syria - it’s likely that Erdogan offered to buy military equipment from the US, maybe reconsider the arms deal they’ve made with the Russians in favor of an American manufacturer.

If they ever make a sequel to Falling Down, but with a black protagonist, it will be a short film with a runtime of six minutes.

That approach worked well in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, didn’t it?

Republicans want the United States to be scaled back to a 19th century nightwatch state that provides little more than police and military, but otherwise compels every citizen to fend for themselves.
