I was afraid it was going somewhere like “coffee shop is small and I normally love dogs but...” sort of thing.

Dock diving! The dogs run down a long dock and jump into a pool. It’s lower impact than other sports so we’ve been having fun with it to keep her active an happy :)

My 6 yo black lab is very gray on her muzzle. She did SAR work and is “retired” due to an injury. But her “play” is still so intense I’m not sure it qualifies as play. I do believe she’d hunt for a lost ball until she collapsed. Her body is still lithe and strong, though.

i wonder when something like the french revolution will occur, but for that to happen though, everyone has to be on the same page and so many people are still eating up republican crap.

Well, and I say this as a liberal American, it wouldn’t happen all at once and it wouldn’t reach a lot of white people. Steps. No immigrants, legal or otherwise can have guns. Also their children, because why not be extra safe. Anyone whose family comes from a “least favored” country (this takes care of the whole…

This is how Aleppo happens. We should avoid armed insurrection at all costs.

No lie-I’d use that iron cord guide.

Yes, I’ve been hearing that too; liberals who’ve advocated gun control are now frightened enough that they’re buying firearms.

Roy the Froy might be the most brilliant, subtly genius thing ever.

How did the judge that ruled the redistricting unconstitutional not order an immediate special election following re-redistricting by an independent commission? How can they be allowed to continue to make laws if their election was (effectively ruled to be) illegitimate?

Somthing I’ve been mulling over; at a certain point, if all democratic and legislative avenues close for the actual will of the people (gerrymandering, etc.), the only avenue left might be armed insurrection. So (speaking as a Canadian), it will be interesting if the Republicans do a 180 on gun control, because an…

Honestly, I don’t blame you at all.

Pardon the cliche but if you ain’t afraid, you ain’t paying attention.

We don’t need to invade a country to bring democracy to the masses, we can do it down in North Carolina.

The Joke is on him. America was never a democracy. The founding fathers didn’t even think landowning white men were smart enough to run a democracy so they instituted a republic and the electoral college. Just because more than white men can vote now, doesn’t change the fact that at its core our government was never…

I’ve lost my mind at this point. I genuinely hope some of these people are assassinated. I hate myself for feeling this way. It is not a choice.

No wonder women kept themselves drugged all the time, if all I had to look forward to were girdles and dust busters I probably would too.

“Let it be an arms race … we will outmatch them at every pass and outlast them all,”

Considering this is a comment our “President Elect” made this morning, I’d say we’ve been left in an awful place.

One nation under the dollar with liberty and justice for none.
