*Openly admits to being a white cis male who lives in a not shady side of Northern Indianapolis*

Also though, let’s be clear: It is not both the Democrats and Republicans that are threatening this (and have done this in the past). It is exclusively a Republican tactic. It is the equivalent of a 5 year old not getting his/her way and then throwing a MASSIVE TANTRUM that costs a few thousand people (mostly in the…

The fiscal year for the federal government ends on Sept 30, if they can’t agree on a budget for FY16 before then the government is effectively “shut down” because it cannot spend any $$$$.

Sub question, WHY DO YOU GUYS ALWAYS THREATEN TO SHUT DOWN YOUR GOVT ok thanks in advance

People who make shit comments like “Good” or “Darwin Award” give themselves away as people who have never faced a horrific situation and had to deal with it. I’m a firefighter and have been at the scene of accidental deaths when family members were present. It’s a scene of grief and sorrow and anguish that’s…

that’s devastating and awful

no, I don’t think so. It’s really sad and tragic any time someone needlessly dies (and this was indeed needless and stupid). we can only hope that this makes it sink in to people’s heads that guns are not toys and should not be treated that way.

Ok commenters. I get that this was a very dumb thing to do on a lot of levels, but he was still a teenager (a kid in my opinion) and now he’s dead. It’s still sad, whether he clearly made bad decisions or not. Or maybe I’m just being overly-sentimental.

Never has a series of GIFs made me more uncomfortable.

Bullshit. They would have found something else to bitch about. I mean, considering how little this fucking matters, and they’re STILL managing to make a big deal out of it, I frankly don’t think any theoretical headaches could have been saved.

Christianity is apparently like Choose Your Own Adventure. She can pick out the stuff she likes (hating gays, long denim skirts) and ignore the stuff she doesn’t (divorce is bad).

I still don’t understand how someone who has been married four times can say with a straight face that it undermines her religious beliefs to allow gay people to marry.

These people have no respect for human life. If they did, they’d support aborting pregnancies that endangered the mother, but you’ll find that most of the people posting crap like this want women to carry to the absolute last possible moment while they pray for a miracle...then console themselves that it was “God’s…

This makes total sense! Just like there isn’t a war on drugs, just the chemical compounds that make up the drugs. Just like there is no war on illegal immigrants there is a war on their current location.

I’m a Bernie supporter myself, but she’s not wrong at all. If you look at the positions of fundamentalist Muslims and compare them to fundamentalist Christians, they have a lot in common. Santorum and Huckabee have affiliated themselves with groups that have strict modesty rules for women, just like fundamentalist…

ISIS? No. Taliban? Pretty damn close.

What would she have to apologize for? She did not say they are terrorists and she did not even say that terrorists and republicans share a lot of views in common or in general. She said republicans share extreme views about women that terrorists do which is 100% accurate and true.

OMG. She must have been reading my comments on here! (of course) Because I’ve been saying this forever:

Thank you. About fucking time someone campaigning on the left flank of politics for President said it out loud.

She’s right tho...at least the religious fundamentalist side of the GOP.
