It was an experience all right... I was a queer, awkward, artsy, sheltered, fat girl who had been abruptly taken from an affluent suburb on the south shore and dumped into what I affectionately refer to as “the armpit of NH”. Up until then, I didn’t know that people lived in trailers when they weren’t camping, that…

Sometimes I think my Italian-American family is the only one that isn’t filled with knuckle dragging racists. I guess my grandfather missed the anti black PowerPoint at Ellis Island.

240 years of “making this shit up as we go along” can’t be all bad! Add in a heaping dose of “we can’t possibly do it the same way the other guys did” and you got yourself 50 states with radically different governments, and 2 major parties that insist on doing things differently in each state. And don’t get me started…

I grew up in MA too! But the rural part, so it was sort of already “in the country.” High school in NH sounds ... like an experience.

Thank you. I spent the first 10 years of my life living in a very nice town in MA, but then my parents got this brilliant idea to go “live in the country.” It was an unmitigated disaster for all involved, but they wouldn’t let me go live with my Aunt in MA during the school year, so I had to wait until I finished high…

He didn’t even say she wouldn’t be alive. He just said that a bunch of people should line up with guns in her general direction and pull the trigger. Now on the off chance that one(or several) of these guns were loaded and just happen to hit her it would be her fault for not having a gun to defend herself with.

You grew up in NH? I’m so sorry.

So much this. Sadly my mother contributes to the shit hole by buying stuff there to avoid paying sales tax.

As someone born and raised in New England, New Hampshire is only there for cheap booze, and so we have someplace to put all the libertarian crazies where they can’t do too much damage.

It’s called “Stochastic terrorism” and it’s so insidious in part because of the inherent plausible denial of direct responsibility if someone were to shoot Hillary based on these statements.

Seriously. A guy who worked in my unit in West Berlin a few years before I was there was actively spying for the East Germans and passing them info. He defected and lived in East Berlin and wasn’t arrested until after the fall of the wall. He spent 12 years in prison. He was not SHOT.

This guy is also a ragingly homophobic, gun toting conspiracy theorist. What a peach!

I’ve never understood the idea that being a veteran somehow makes your political opinions correct. Both my grandfathers were veterans. Both of them had untreated PTSD and were alcoholics who could barely function. One was a compulsive gambler and philanderer and the other went to jail for shooting at a government…

This guy was on the floor at the RNC and a reporter from I think MSNBC asked him about his repeated statements that Hillary should be put in front of a firing squad, and he DENIED HE EVER SAID IT. The reporter pointed out that he’s said it multiple times. He just said that the “liberal media” was putting words in his…

“they said that I wanted her assassinated, which I never did...I said...she should be shot in a firing squad for treason.”

“I said I spoke as a veteran, and she should be shot in a firing squad for treason.”

Have any of you ever had the unique experience of hearing this dude speak? His normal speaking voice is this hoarse scream that is very... alarming. I get the sense that he thinks he’s still in the Marines yelling at new recruits or something, rather than answering questions from the “lib’ral media.”

You misunderstand! Stop publishing all this nonsense. He just meant her body should be riddled with bullets until she’s not longer alive! God. Clickbait.

There have been no military executions since 1961 although the death penalty is still a possible punishment for several crimes under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
