Enjoy this sick burn on Ann Coulter

Well, the most important thing is that the NRA shouldn’t be making legislation. Legislators should be doing that. When publicly elected officials make legislation they should attempt to consult widely to ensure that they understand the impacts of the legislation and that they make legislation that represents the people who they were elected to represent. So, yes, people making legislation should definitely ask consult doctors, criminologists and many other groups (including the NRA) when maki…

Federal judge: Lawsuit against Andrew Anglin of 'Daily Stormer' can proceed, Nazi hate speech isn't protected

@wanderfound said that black people didn’t enjoy the same “rights” as white people, not that they didn’t enjoy the same physical capacity as white people. There was never a question of what utterances people can emit from their mouths. The point is that hateful white people seem to enjoy “free speech” far more than any other group. America is willing to bend over backwards to ensure it is not blocking their free speech. When Desiree Fairooz laughed during Jeff Session’s confirmation (or whatev…

Navarro has the patience of a saint, but even he too has reached his limit with one certain gentleman.

Continuing the discussion from Shaming Ocasio-Cortez for her clothes is a classic ruse to deflect attention from real issues:

@navarro

do you have any idea what a mess of bad faith arguments, non sequitur arguments, moving goalpost arguments, appeals to authority, appeals to ignorance, and an almost total lack of self-awareness you’ve treated us too in this thread?

i guess not, because if you truly understood the nature of your side of this discussion it would mean you had done this all deliberately and thus proven yourself to be an irredeemable trolley, but since you have no self-awareness you are more to be pitied than scathed.

edited for spelling.

Chicago: Shooting at Mercy Hospital, police officer and suspect among 'multiple victims'

Just some facts: The shooter started arguing with his former fiancee (she had recently called off the engagement) in the parking lot where she worked as an ER doctor, proceeded to pull out a 9mm, and shot her 3 times in the chest and then stood over her body and shot her 3 more times. Her friend had run into the hospital to get away. A police car drove up to him at that point, so he started shooting at them, then ran into the hospital to get away from them, where there was a gun battle between …

For the excellent link in the middle of the post, about the “Reagan Revolution”

US tax shortfalls have our public schools begging for donations

It’s nothing to do with capitalism per se; that’s just the framework in which the looting is happening this time around. As you said a few lines previously, public education is extremely beneficial to any well-regulated, market-based capitalism. But of course this has been going on for decades, and is the natural and fervently desired consequence of the “Reagan Revolution”. Remember, the sainted Ronnie was the guy who killed taxpayer-funded college in America. “If it takes a bloodbath, let…

For pitch perfect irony!

Trump goes to Supreme Court asking for OK to enforce racist asylum ban

I think he might be worried the US could go the way of Nazi Germany who was destroyed by rampant, unfettered illegal immigration. In a few short years immigrants - who not only didn’t speak a lick of German, but had no interest in assimilating - streamed into Germany from places like Russia, the UK, and even America. Risking long treks on foot in the snow, or in small, rickety boats across the channel, they overwhelmed the physical barriers at the borders and almost immediately began a series o…

Triple amputee veteran starts GoFundMe for Trump's border wall

Imagine if the most severely wounded Airman to survive any war raised $5 million to help wounded veterans like himself instead of throwing it all away on a con artist’s big lie.

Watch: Ocasio-Cortez responds to dance-phobic Republicans with a new dance on Capital Hill

It just occurred to me that with Ocasio-Cortez in congress doing the breakfast club dance, we’ve just entered the future that the 80s prophesied. A hopeful, irreverent, but morally laser-focused youthful movement harnessing the power of music in the face of grumbling old white codgers. She single-handedly turned all those dinosaurs into the evil prinicpals from all thise movies and, to top it all off, the final battle is against a crooked property developer who is imprisoning children and threat…

In vino veritas… I hope.

Teacher who fed puppy to snapping turtle in front of children found not guilty of animal cruelty

The story also details how he left the sick puppy in his car for the whole working day, presumably suffering - denying it medical care/being euthanized humanely. Which is pretty reprehensible and would probably carry a criminal charge where I am from under The 2006 Animal Welfare Acts.

For bringing up some pretty ignored facts about the case.

[anon61221983]

But, rural life, that puppy was going to die, people in other countries eat dogs, etc, etc… /s

It is the best post of a shitty thread, that’s for damn sure.

Another good one from that thread:

Teacher who fed puppy to snapping turtle in front of children found not guilty of animal cruelty

If you assume that people arguing against you are doing so out of cultural bias then I can see how it would look like I was arguing with you out of cultural bias. There are people in the world who find it normal to eat horses and dogs, I don’t think they are any more cruel for doing so than people who eat cows or sheep. But “Why the hell did you keep a sick dog in your car all day for the purpose of feeding it to a turtle in front of a a bunch of kids?” doesn’t get answered by, “You know, in …

Angry Christians riot and throw firebomb at a museum that exhibits 'McJesus' sculpture

I am suddenly imagining a whole McDonaldland revival of Jesus Christ Superstar with Mayor McCheese as Pilate, the Hamburglar as Judas, and Grimace as Ciaphas. Oh, and the Burger King as Herod, I guess.

Quite the omnibus of the Trump campaign/administration’s pro-Russia actions:

Trump denies his ever deepening Russian connections

As a progressive, it’s possible to be against our existing foreign policy in the Middle East while also finding Trump’s erratic, impulsive, and deferential behavior wildly dangerous and idiotic. The same goes for North Korea. Between the US and China, why do you think China is the country being hurt most by Trump’s moronic trade war? Besides, if Russia and China are on such friendly terms, why wouldn’t Putin want the US to kick off a trade war that harms our relationship with China, so that R…

Pacific Northwest measles outbreak: "like taking a pail of gasoline and throwing a lighted match into it"

How about this? Common reactions to MMR include soreness at the site, slight redness, slight swelling. Fever is a rare side effect and fever sufficient to cause seizure is extraordinarily rare, on the order of 1 in 100,000 doses, more or less. I have been practicing pediatrics for 30 years now and and can count the number of febrile reactions on one hand, and the number of febrile seizures on zero hands. You are peddling fear and ignorance dressed up as “won’t someone think of the children!…
