    I have access to Pluto, I'll check it out. Yes I liked him in Parks and Rec and on the Marvel movies. But I don't know what ^this^ is yet.

    Fiona Hill: "The president was trying to stage a coup"

    What does any of this have to do with electioneering? And remember the hearings themselves are electioneering.

    Robb Elementary School shooting

    In the analogy there's the presumption of teachers overseeing the playground, in the real world there's only just the kids on the playground and they all have to figure out the stick matter all by themselves.

    Guns!

    He had ill intent and had drawn a gun. If he doesn't neutralize him immediately he could have turned the gun on him and fired. At that close? Can't blame him for going for the head. How else could he guarantee that gun's not getting turned on him? It was in his hand. He was right next to...

    Lifting thread

    So. Science. Never did I imagine I'm putting the cart before the horse but I am wondering if that's in fact what I was suggesting here. I was fasting a meal or two leading up to Fridays and then fasting on Fridays completely, and then lifting on Saturdays. I tried lifting right from the fast...

    Robb Elementary School shooting

    That's the one. I misremembered the quote; turns out her actual quote sounds even more pro-homeschooling.

    Robb Elementary School shooting

    Yeah. Did that guy get a background check? Can we use a red flag law for him? He's going to hurt himself. Oh, and that stick, what is that, a long-barreled stick? Better call ATS, bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Sticks.

    Robb Elementary School shooting

    It presumes a certain political situation, which is why the analogy fails. It's a false analogy. Who's going to take away the kids' sticks? Or make sure every kid has a stick? In the analogy? The teachers. The people overseeing playground activity. What kind of political situation does...

    Robb Elementary School shooting

    According to an FBI agent who gave an interview on NPR the other day, they're not even raised to run, away. She literally said, about children in schools, "If you're not there, you can't get killed." She was distressed by how much kids are taught to hide if something like this happens, and...

    Another Mass Shooting, Another Far Right White Supremacist Trump/MAGA/TuckerCarlson Supporter

    Great article too. It's never been about science with the Democrats. That's a smokescreen. The science is on the Republicans' side here just like with abortion.

    Norwegian's madness

    All of Europe has something gravely wrong with it, always has. It's like Africa but rich.

    Norwegian's madness

    As Americans we've been lied to for decades now that we're somehow just like all the other countries. We're exceptional. Always have been.

    Another Mass Shooting, Another Far Right White Supremacist Trump/MAGA/TuckerCarlson Supporter

    The article mentions young school mass murderers are usually in tension between homicidality and suicidality. That was new to me. Although the big thing in there was something I already knew, they basically always talk about their plan beforehand, to somebody. Hear something, say something...

    Robb Elementary School shooting

    Facile. Who are the people with the "solutions" in this analogy? Playground overlords? The analogy's useless. We're entirely democratic, we are the government. Why are we even in the playground? Facile.

    Robb Elementary School shooting

    I have to. While it would be nice for one word to sum up my position the word doesn't exist. "Originalist" is close enough. If anybody wants to get into more detail, "I'm you're huckeberry," and have at it.

    Robb Elementary School shooting

    I already responded to your accusation. You blubbered on about how I love guns more than children or something idiotic. lol. "Saying it doesn't make it so." And repeating a lie doesn't make it true.
