  1. Just because Obama's ATF interpreted the law to mean they couldn't ban it doesn't mean that their interpretation was correct. And even if you ultimately agree with Thomas's reading, Sotomayor's dissent is hardly an unreasonable interpretation of the statutory language and is more in line with the statute's intent.
  2. Esto. And a part of the problem few people think about is how many people are effectively crowded out from public service jobs because they literally can't afford to take a job that pays that little, even if they're not interested in getting rich. Most people who could be good candidates for public office enter the workforce with substantial student loans and even if they don't want to get rich they at least want to be able to buy a home and provide for their family. That's not easy to do even on a congressional representative's salary for someone who had to take out loans to get through school and also has a mortgage and an auto loan to pay.
  3. They're holding that until the last day of the term. July 2nd would be my guess.
  4. If I didn't know better, I'd say it's almost like they want a bunch of Republican loons to buy bump stocks and carry out more mass shootings like Las Vegas.
  5. Yes, he was there with a bullhorn directing the crowd.
  6. When Ana looks at the trolley problem, he knows the most moral choice is to pull the switch so that the train runs over the track with a bunch of people tied down to it, then cross to the track with one person tied down and shoot them in the head. Unless it’s a woman, then he’ll force her to give birth to a rapist’s child first then he’ll shoot her in the head.
  7. Dick Durbin is chickenshit, basically.
  8. I don't know, but we need to invest many billions of dollars into finding and sterilizing them for the good of humanity.
  9. Silver shouldn't be hated for 2016, as gmr notes he was one of the more realistic pollsters in that election (tons of highly respected pollsters were saying Hillary had a ~99% chance). Silver should be hated for turning into a dipshit contrarian expert-on-all-things pundit who cooked his brain in 2020 on all sorts of antivax and related conspiracy theories.
  10. Those responsible should be thrown in jail for a long time. Let's hope the NYPD actually does their fucking job for once.
  11. Abused by the Badge - WaPo Investigation into cops sexually abusing children. This is a pretty highly produced piece of reporting that doesn't lend itself to simple copy and pasting, but here's some basics: And this is certainly only a small sample, knowing how easy it is for cops to get away with shit.
  12. I never want to underestimate Elon’s stupidity, but he knows exactly what AfD is. He’s promoting Nazis while trying to pretend otherwise. This is not the first time he’s done so.
  13. Aggy church refusing service to blind people:
  14. Lobo gonna Lobo. Paxton is MAGA and MAGA protects MAGA. That's all it is. There's not a fucking Keyser Soze operating everything from behind the scenes.
  15. Man this isn't complicated. Bad stories about Republican justices polarize people against the Republican court and can create the political conditions in which actual reform is possible.
  16. About that German heritage: I’m detecting some Hitler particles. How the fuck do we have more secret Nazis in and around American leadership today than we did after Operation Paperclip?
  17. She might be crazier than Ginni. Fucking incredible.
  18. That actual reporting reads like it was written by AI. But Dems in the senate should be quietly investigating her finances given how corrupt most federalist society judges are.
