and yet many people think the only solution is more of the police there. We need more of them to stand around and not do anything while parents go in and get their kids, without any armor or guns. or maybe that kind of thing only happens to "mexican schools"

my favorite Liotta scene

How about people with "mental health challenges", whatever that is, can't buy guns? How you determine that, who knows. Maybe we should require a note from a doctor who has done specific types of tests and will certify to that under penalty of perjury. Of course we know how well that will go over because guns are "god given rights dammit"

He filmed a video in a parking lot of him loading water into a truck.... like they set it up Better Call Saul style. We'll pretend he's at an event.

She's a flake. I thought it was cool when Pence had to swear in a Lesbian b/c he hates Lesbians but I'm guessing she's someone happy to hang out in Sedona among all the crystal people.

That was unbelievable. I had to rewind it to make sure I saw that right.

I think it was Paxton who said something similar the last time kids were shot at school on Texas.

ever notice when this kind of thing happens it's always "The guy bought the gun last week" It's never "he got the gun from a guy on the street in an alley in exchange for sex". And it's always a gun they buy. They never buy a knife or baseball bat or swimming pool or car.

your point about the civil war is spot on. Once we began horse trading new states based on senate seats and slavery then the sanctity of the Senate as an institution was broken. Why do we have a North and South Dakota?

what rule? Where is it written that the court has to have 9 justices? As Tater said... McConnell decided in 2016 that the Court only needs 8 justices. That seal's been broken. Repbulicans will pack the court if they need to and have the ability. Bank on it.

I hate to say it but the Star Spangled Banner at Chicago Stadium was pretty cool too.

totally been enjoying this playoff season. I assume the next round will be mostly prime time? I prefer later games, it's easier for me to watch once all the hassle around the house settles down.

Worth noting that the NRA is not the same NRA as it was prior to Bill Clinton. The org has been compromised and is a tool by US gun manufacturers and a money laundering outfit. I know many gun owners who have quit them.

I was kind of tired of the song My Way but that was a perfect combination.

What the actual fuck?

Sandy Hook was my pivot point when I began my drift leftward. The total disregard for kids being sawed in half showed me the GOP is not a group of normal people.

For real. Why make it easier? It’s totally absurd. If I wanted to kill a bunch of people I could go to Dunhams and get what I need. If I couldn’t go there or anywhere else I wouldn’t know where to go. People act like you can just go on a corner and get a gun.

damn

So all of HHM is gone I assume the firm dissolves? I enjoyed the horror on their faces. They certainly deserved it and that's gotta have an effect on them going forward.

They will play victim. Saw a reference to this happening to Thad McCotter... remember that guy? The article was from 2012 but it seemed more recent than that. Unless he was in trouble twice.... it all runs together now.

right.... who am I kidding. Saw an article yesterday that the DaVos clan endorsed a candidate. I never realized Betsy and Dick were married. I met him in 2006, or was it 2002?, when he was running and the guy seemed like a robot or member of a cult. Just a blank stare. Not sure he was aware of his surroundings. I'm not sure I voted for him even though I was on that side. Even our old friend One Man's Fool said the guy was creepy.

Did you see the ballots? They were color coded for God's sake. Like they were sitting at a table passing the ballots around. But I'm not convinced they will get kicked off the ballot. The entity that decides these things is made up of... you guessed it. 2 democrats and 2 republicans. Need 3 votes.

Going to listen to the BCS podcast to see if Schnauz addresses his tweet. What a thing of beauty.
