    Blaming gun violence on a breakdown of family structure is pretty lazy analysis. Where's the measurement of the breakdown? Where's the root cause analysis? People who have never lived in these neighborhoods (including myself) have absolutely zero working knowledge of what the real situation even is. By the time we see such a low precision statistic like murder rates, we're looking at a proxy variable that's so far removed from the fullness of their reality that the most responsible course of action we can take is to refuse to draw conclusions altogether. At least without equipping ourselves with a deeper understanding. Different cultures throughout the world vary greatly in their family structures. Do you even have any particular style of family structure in mind when you mention the "proper" kind of one?

    That 40% of morons/psychopaths in presidential elections end up being a much bigger factor in mid terms. They show up more than other groups. And all the GOP really needs to do to have a shot at 2020 is to push a simple narrative on the political middle: with all the crazy lies flying around with both sides, you can't really trust either one. Trump may be a scoundrel, and he may cheat to win here and there, but the left is way worse because they pretend to be honest and fair, when they've been out to get Trump since he won the primary. Remember that, when they predicted he'd never win, but he did? Etc. If they succeed with that messaging, they'll convince some of the people in the middle of the spectrum to vote Trump, and others that might lean left will feel justified in staying home. This will get worse if the Dems pick an unpopular candidate again.

    Indeed. One way or another, after the 2018 midterms, they can suddenly see the light whenever the next wave of damning evidence gets released. Americans have short memories. Many will forget how long the Republican party licked Trump's boots once they start siding with impeachment. It'll be a feel good moment. It'll also make me sick.

    That's good shit, man. Good shit right there.

    Do you mean a right leaning pundit on a "liberal" network or a right leaning pundit on Fox News? Because a conservative pundit has to pretty much unmask himself as a demon of some lower region of hell to get fired from Fox News.

    Doesn't that play into Mueller's hands by giving him more time to wrap up the investigation?

    Man for a sixty some odd year old woman, Brigitte has really got it going on.

    Let's be honest, the minute the GOP decided to support legalization, the Democrats would support it and turn it into a bipartisan movement, ultimately helping the perception of neither party.

    Wat is even going on.

    Constructive criticism: the contrast between the background and the content areas is too strong. Also, horizontal separators that match the starkly contrasted background making the main content area feel disjointed.

    Damn, RIP. Also, 73 years of marriage. Well done.

    Zero problem whatsoever, though it did make me impatient for the work day to finish

    OP thought of a 4/20 joke, and then wrote a thread around it as window dressing

    Alright, this disaster of a presidency has gone on long enough. Time for one of his staff to push the cheat code that will end this thing by tomorrow afternoon. Just leak a story to the press that Trump has definitively refused to step down amidst all the rumors swirling around him. He'll be fuming, of course, and then he'll do the exact opposite thing that said he was intending to do.

    Watched the whole meltdown video. I wonder if he hawks pills as a cover story to explain his extravagant lifestyle, and actually has a Russian oligarch backing him. He actually called the Russians the white knights of the middle east lol.

    He's got the ideal persona for a pro wrestler. His fake crying about Trump is really good.

    Chik-fil-A sucks. This article sucks. I won't expend a single brain cell trying to figure out which one sucks more.

    No doubt, I agree with you about confronting death regularly. I do it too, but I still get freaked out by it from time to time. I was just responding to someone who suggested that the faithful are the only ones that fear death, or that their faith is a just a tool to stave of the fear of death because they're weak. We're all weak piles of matter.

    It never bothered me until it really dawned on me that I was going to die eventually. Now, I don't think of death as being frightening, but it is incredibly depressing and panic-attack-inducing. It's frightening to think my life could be completely cut short, and everything I aim to achieve or explore will never be even a possibility. You and I are going to be erased. That shit cuts deep, man.

    Grew up in a non-religious household, so my vantage point causes me to notice antisocial personality disorders before noticing religious affiliation. I am, however, fascinated by the notion of self betterment, and that's led to me to appreciate a few spiritual teachers over the years. There's a saying the Christians have -- you'll know the good ones by the fruit. The Trumpkin evangelicals are displaying that they are rotten to their core. They don't really believe any of this shit. They're malevolent people.

    Don't worry, evangelicals will make sure to point out that this means that you are going to hell, instead of realizing that they shit the bed.

    This deep state rhetoric is going to keep the base going strong till the bitter end. Trump in a few weeks: "This is all a deep state plot." Trumpkins: "I *knew* it. They orchestrated all this negative press, all these indictments, and all these criminal charges. They used the raid to plant evidence. Stormy Daniels is an asset."

    And it's not like only the 1% can afford to fly first class domestic. He must be a cheap ass.
