Reading Splinter comments (and other online forums), it seems that an inordinate number of people think that a civil war is inevitable and/or justified. And they all seem to think they will be on the “winning side.”

“intense grassroots pressure from family-based groups like Moms Demand/Everytown”

Because it’s good media. White people bad. All minorities good. Read the comments on here. No one ever puts a logical or straight answer down. Do they want open boarders? Asylum for all? “Catch and release”? Is Trump correct calling such countries “shitholes”? Do they know nothing about Europe and Canada where they…

creating new temporary facilities or refurbishing government facilities as part of Trump’s directive on homelessness.

The motivations are pretty much the same but the actual legal reasoning and effect are quite a bit different. Before WWII, the US outright denied most Jewish asylum seekers and refugees the right to resettle, supposedly out of national security concerns (but mostly out of xenophobia), even if they had nowhere else to…

God, I need to get out of this shithole country.

Don’t worry. It’s already too late to do anything effective. Drought, famine, pestilence, and conflict will wipe out a significant portion of the population. At some point the internet and cable TV will become inoperable and professional football, baseball, and basketball will disappear. That’s the bad part.

Maybe understand that doom and gloom predictions have always been a thing and, guess what, we’re all still here kicking along. Sure, things will get bad for a lot of people, and more difficult for those in the developed world, but the world will keep ticking along as always. Do your best to maintain stability through…

A woman came up to me yesterday and said to me, governor, please tell the president to tell these Democrats to leave my healthcare alone.

I go both ways it’s more fun that way! Have 2 Tacos and get to Jeep it two!!!! If ya know what I mean...

I take it that smoke bomb was your electrical system?

Land Cruisers history - Lets make that Jeep thing...but better.

So, basically, non-Tesla carmakers have standards?

Carlin was a great mind. Great minds don’t apply his logic to a world that has changed beyond the scope of his observation, as you did here. That is, he would disagree with you.

Kind of like how the whole fucking #griftsquad has been milking being made fun of by Trump for months now?

OK, let’s try this again. I tapped this comment in reply to another poster, but it seems to have disappeared into the ether. But I think it’s relevant both to DED who I responded to and to Rafi, who put out the original post:

I am very disappointed by these comments. “Dime store cyclops”, shoot his eye out. Not one joke about Snake Pliskin.

Uhm, missing the point?
