There is room for the existence of laws enacted solely for the convenience and comfort of a relative few. PROVIDED those laws cause little if any harm to others. Laws allowing ownership of fully auto weapons or silencers do not meet this standard. HOLY FUCK, DO THEY NOT MEET THIS STANDARD. Look, I’ve fired full auto…

This isn’t the win I envisioned at all, but given how this protest has been coopted by Trump and those responding to his fuckery, it may be the best available outcome. I don’t like how it looks, but this may be one of those occasions where the optics are secondary to the benefits realized by the community - provided…

Yup. The NY Times or Wash Post (I think) reported that there was a multi BILLION dollar Russianboil deal that Tillerson had been a part of, prior to Obama era sanctions killing it. That absolutely explains why tf an oil Co CEO desired the position of Sec of State and why Trump would appoint him. It explains why Trump…

It is entirely possible that my understanding of both basic geography and the capabilities of the US Armed Forces are lacking*, but it seems that providing more substantial assistance to the ISLAND of PR is easily possible. The viability of ports don’t matter much to our Armed Forces. The Army has vehicles…

*brings bottle of water (or drank of choice), and a towel* Preciate you showing respect to Monica’s house, but don’t apologise. You speak for more people than you know with your ‘rant’...

“How far will it get me? Probably not very far.

When next you have people over, demand that someone leave. Doesn’t matter why, doesn’t matter who they are, or why they are there. Demand someone leave, and when they protest, ask questions, or do ANYTHING other than immediately leave, remove them forcefully. I’m genuinely curious how far a “trespassing” defense will…

I’m aware that PR took in many people retreating from the USVI. One can argue that perhaps PR needs more assistance as a result, but this doesn’t mean that the USVI don’t need help too. The last thing I saw on any news broadcast is that “the USVI feels neglected”. Wonder why that is?

Usually, when people have conversations, either irl, or on the tubes, there are important details which are often not spoken. These details which are generally assumed to be understood by all participants already, often explain a great deal of the nuance which may lie just under the surface of the conversation. In…

Generally, I truly, HONESTLY, detest whataboutism, but I have to ask *WHAT ABOUT THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS??!!!??!!* Their people are also US citizens, on islands devastated by the recent hurricanes, and also aren’t getting the aid they require. As much as PR needs to be talked about, so do the US VI...

Why was she being arrested? For resisting arrest. C’MON, it’s obvious, in’it?

Oh gawd, it’s even worse than you say... CNN is about to devote an hour to a psuedo town hall bullshit on the subject with that Cooper dude...

If you’d left out literally only the last word of your post, I’d type how much I agreed with you, and that even though I know how seriously unlikely it is that I’ll step on my child, as a parent, I worry about it anyway. But you added that word “negligent”... There are absolutely unintentional acts that can be…

 Today I was reminded of something that I’d actually forgotten in the years since I’ve been out of the US Armed Forces. Even though members of the Armed Forces are required to stop and hold hand over heart in silence for the anthem when in uniform and/or on base, on occasion some of us (all of us) sometimes didn’t.…

Re Ray Lewis: This muthafucka.....I have nothing else to add...

In a just world, the Republicans would be denied the Puerto Rican vote for at least a generation.... Kidding, I know that Puerto Ricans can’t vote!!! I’ll wager that has more than a little to do with Dolt!45's refusal to waive the Jones act for Puerto Rico.

I think part of the reason for the disconnect may be the difference between your own (what I’ll assume is reasonable) assessment of what constitutes “neglect”, and that of CPS in far too many jurisdictions. The “dirty” apartment mentioned in the first account may literally have only suffered from the fly problem…

This just adds to my confusion about his release. I totally believe he is a double murderer. Just as I believe that he was jailed on ludicrous charges. They clearly wanted to jail him for something, ANYTHING, since they didn’t get him for murder. I would have bet money that they’d never let him out of jail. Utterly…

Word! I’m still recovering from the involuntary head snap and eyes rolling out of head, that was the result of people actually saying Melania was classier than Michelle Obama...

In what way has the FACT that police brutality is a wide spread problem been politicized? There is a staggering amount of evidence supporting this, from an equally staggering variety of sources. What exactly do you need to see to prove it is a widespread problem? Should the national media start reporting every single…
