I’m actually genuinely curious how they intend to police this law.

I’ve had arguments with people who have genuinely tried to make the case that gay folk are always trying to recruit, because they can’t reproduce.

I don’t think it’s a religious thing. People just use that as flimsy support for a pre-existing bias.

I imagine he has a lot of time on his hands.

Exactly - if you consider it to be murder then treat it as murder. Anyone suggesting this whole “with exceptions and circumstances” schtick isn’t in it for religious reasons.

You’re absolutely right, and it reinforces that barbaric point regardless of anyone’s acceptance, but that’s not the total extent of it and it can’t be viewed as that devoid of context. Because it’s also become a cultural taboo. It’s certainly more explicit, but it’s not all that removed from “decency” requiring a…

The tragedy here is that win or lose, this leaves the GOP with three options: split down the middle and lose all viability, ignore everything and stick to establishment conservatism when they’ve fostered a base of anti-establishment voters or become the all singing all dancing Trump party; To exclusively run…

Being immune to new information is seen as a positive trait in politicians.

Look it from the nun’s perspective: Filling out that form isn’t just half an hour of their day, it’s saying that they’re okay with this being provided by the government.

“The non-profits argue that workaround makes them “complicit” in providing “abortifacients,” an argument so dumb even the New York Times editorial board genteelly called it “absurd.””

“noting that no one recognizes him”

I’ll raise you: Making Ted “lets default on our loans, what’s the worst that could happen?” Cruz look like “the reasonable one”.

As bad as the headlines are, the comments are orders of magnitude worse. I recently had an argument with someone calling themselves “Constitutionalist” about whether or not prisoners had any rights.

I go there quite a lot. The key to comedy is two ideas that don’t belong together being illogically jammed together, and that’s something they do day in day out.

Obama is a secret muslim coming to abort your babies and take your guns.

Breitbart is impossible to satirise. They say, with sincerity, things that would be too ludicrous.

You know, Mittens might be a soulless corporate shill aligned with a party with terrifyingly backward opinions, but I kinda respect the guy.

It could be interesting for the country, but the general debate will be one guy carefully trying to explain the basic concept of collective endeavour and a lunatic wheeling about screaming “libruls are ruining ‘murca’.

They won’t read it. They’ll see the headline and dismiss it out of hand because of the source. Just another “librul” who hates “’murica”.

Trump is, at heart, a salesman. I don’t think the racism is aimed at fostering racism, but is, like everything else he says, straight up pandering. Buy my steaks, vote for me.
