  1. it's pretty nauseating to hear it laid out how deeply extremist all this state leadership is, and how they are so ensconced in that bubble as to not know any different
  2. it's pissing me off that his lawyer is allowed to editorialize in giving his not guilty pleas. Ok so Rusty just got him for it -- good.\ It was getting very close to saying "everything that [guy] just said is bullshit"
  3. the default should be shifted to who can rather than who cannot possess. The 2nd is vague and doesn't support the current SCOTus interp. Who can own, in terms of the need to actually own weapons that are more than recreational or self-defense, would be less fraught than excluding out groups who can't. Very radical view only to this country, I'm aware
  4. This will be obvious to some, but before the advent of the internet, previous generations often did not know how to put a name to the experience of gender dysphoria. It's generally a fairly small portion of the population who are trans and it just has not been widely understood or spoken of in most cultures, historically. Like with gay people but much more so. So once people finally have more widespread knowledge, you are going to have more people being able to identify themselves as trans, most who certainly have no motive other than accuracy, considering the still-extreme stigma. I say this from my family's personal experience. I wish the right-wingers would consider what the actual lived experience would be like of someone who came of age before the internet etc., and then after. To say it's all some sort of social contagion is myopic at best. This might be my most diplomatic post ever, so savor it my bitches.
  5. you must have a really weird definition of suffering if restrictions on certain deadly weapons qualifies as such
  6. yeah, on Inauguration Day, I didn't believe he'd come close to making it through his term in office. He shouldn't have.
  7. In further proof this is all a simulation, Ho's wife's email is ..... aho@gibsondunn.com. Noice. https://www.gibsondunn.com/lawyer/ho-allyson-n/
  8. A real murderer's row of integrity and intellectualism here-- Henry Cuellar, Joe Manchin, Susan Collins, Krysten Sinema
  9. but what is "coming his way?" Being governor until he dies?
  10. What is the status of that whole deal? Did they get it pushed through in session??
  11. yep and he's now one of DeSantis's education-dismantling henchmen. Fine company we're keeping.
  12. I'm so pissed that Pee Wee's nemesis outlived him.
  13. that article above is a smooth passive-voiced ducking of laying blame: Both sides appear to become increasingly agitated before punches are thrown.
  14. I lost it at "black Aquaman"
  15. 4 years undergrad, 3 years of law school, then a 20-hr test, to be accurate
  16. they're crying and wetting their pants over "Dark Brandon" when they originated the whole Let's Go Brandon owning-the-libs inanity? JFC. Live by the Brandon, Die by the Brandon, snowflake incel pussies
  17. Articles report the injunction is already blocked by virtue of the AG's office appealing the ruling. I should know this, but how does the AG appealing a ruling automatically remove a state court's injunction??
  18. you see, white people were victims too! Thus, everybody was a victim, so really no one was a victim. That's my interpretation of their mental(ly challenged) gymnastics.
  19. It’s because Pee Wee is perpetually young
  20. Got so much joy from his work 😔 Can Trump finish off the trio
  21. I’ve been fearing this for years. I can’t think of a person more truly authentic— never for a moment trying to be other than who she was. A terribly abusive upbringing and ensuing struggles but such strength through her voice. She was right about every damn thing, as society will eventually acknowledge— even the difficult brown —google it— what a fantastic soul.
  22. He was convicted on contempt charges I thought and awaiting sentencing? Separate from the fraud stuff.
  23. There's an incredible documentary you can (sometimes) find on YouTube, though the video is poor quality. It's The Cramps playing the Napa State Mental Hospital in 1978. The narration explains the context. The place used to be self-sufficient, and it was available for anyone who just didn't have the mental/emotional fortitude to make it in society. They grew their own food, made their own clothes. There seemed to be a general respect for the people there as human beings. Then Reagan came along, saw a profit opportunity, and privatized the shit out of it with contracts for his cronies. Ultimately, he decided those places should just be defunded, and we all know that policy won the day during his presidency. It's sad shit. I get that it's only one side of the story, but never forget Reagan's assholery. And it's really quite something to see the wards of the hospital interacting up close and personal with the band.
