Yeah, and I would also say Izzy was more influenced by Kief. But Led Zep were pioneers of the riff-driven approach to rock that was essential to later groups like GNR.

I did not have “Victoria Jackson sucks in air like a dying fish before reading a maniacal hate rant while dressed like Haystacks Calhoun in drag” on my 2023 bingo card.

This kind of stupid shit is always posted by the specific kind of white men who have never done a single positive thing for mankind, are too stupid and lazy to ever do so, and in fact spend most of their time and effort making the world a measurably worse place. Signed, A White Man

And that’s why Rep. Massie allows open carry at his campaign events, fund-raisers, and town halls. Right?

That’s because you’re not a Good Guy With a GunTM

Credit where credit is due: you are 100% right about that. Which is why I find your bothsideserism a befuddling and aggravating.

I blame the Democrats for not passing a law to solve all of our problems over rabid, unanimous opposition from Republicans in Congress, Republican administrations, and far right judges wielding an idiotic interpretation of the Second Amendment as an almost impregnable constitutional veto. Fuckin Democrats!

Fuck off with your Anastasisms. Republicans obstruct any meaningful reform. Democrats at least try to get something done; you can’t blame them for resorting to incrementalism when Republicans alone have made that the only feasible option. Good lord, I can’t believe I have to actually point out how fucking stupid your perspective on this is.

Thats a completely different point. Democrats have attempted their proposed solution (gun control measures) and have been opposed by Republicans on that front. By contrast, Republicans invoke mental health purely as a smokescreen - it’s not a problem they have any desire to address. They just throw out meaningless words and catchphrases to end or sidetrack the discussion. The idea that Democrats are equally to blame because they haven’t attempted to fix gun violence by addressing the Republicans’ preferred pretext is just complete bullshit. Democrats have tried to fix the problem by working on what they believe is the most effective solution. It’s not their job to also fight Republicans to implement the Republicans’ disingenuous policy distraction for them, too.

The GOP doesn’t want to do anything other than distract from the real issue. “Mental illness” is a rhetorical smokebomb that Republicans use to escape from losing arguments. They don’t intend to ever do anything about the mental illness problem. (Although if they ever did, their solution would be what you suspect.)

In a few years, underground pockets of resistance fighters will keep the torch of liberty burning by circulating bootleg copies of Larry the Farting Leprechaun.

Ohhhh… you’re Bunny.

To be fair, I doubt the dead guy would notice.

I’ve been eating a Mediterranean type diet for a couple of years now. I love it and have no desire to go back to my old way of eating. I came up with the sandwich recipe below, although it’s all approximations. Modify to your taste. About 1/2 cup flakey smoked salmon. Costco and HEB sell one that is honey smoked or something. There are also trendy canned brands. Don’t use lox - it’s too slimy. You want the kind that flakes with a fork. 6-8 raw walnut halves, coarsely hand-crushed. I’ve also used marcona almonds in a pinch. Diced onion and bell pepper (red or orange work best). Toss it all in a bowl and squirt a shitload of coarse ground mustard in it. Mix it all up with a fork. Slather it on whole grain bread (I like Dave’s brand). Add thin slices of a tart apple or a thin slice of provolone (optional), and spring mix or arugula. That makes a filling, very healthy sandwich. Which is one of the great things about this diet - you get full and feel great.

#bothsides shoot at each other. Which, uh… which is good. Because despite what gun-hating liberals will tell you, when both sides are shooting at each other, that actually reduces gun violence.

This woke shit is destroying the manly America of old. The America of Travis Tritt. The America where, without being shamed by the Woke Mafia for taking a stand for pure, unapologetic, patriotic masculinity, a hard-working blue-collar man from the heartland could feather his long, wavy hair, throw on an embroidered denim shirt and a pink leather jacket with frills, apply a bit of foundation and eye make-up, lean up against the wall with his hands in his pockets and a resting bitch face, and sing out loud in public.

I bet Wal-Mart parking lot people love the old pubes-on-the-Coke-can joke.

Ah, the classic “But Nixon did it, too” defense.

A man came up to him — a big, burly guy, with tears in his eyes — and he said “Sir, I paid Richard Nixon $18 million for the stuff he had.”
