  1. That was the other takeaway this year was the sudden popularity of suppressors. It's odd to me that they're as legal as they are, but whatever. The bigger problem with suppressors is that they're almost always extremely ugly. Except for the oil filter ones, those are kind of funny.
  2. This is just the logical conclusion of decades of "government is the problem" and "starve the beast". The entire MO of the GOP is to sabotage or bankrupt the government and then point at how broken government is. From that perspective Trump is the perfect president for them, because he is guaranteed to cause as much chaos as possible while still not being perceived as part of the establishment GOP. The only parts of government that will be spared are the parts that are necessary for corporations to function; everything else is fair game. It's especially tragic because the federal government of the United States was the single biggest force for good throughout the twentieth century, simply by existing. Two Republican administrations have now replaced this source of inspiration and hope with cynicism, lies, and hate.
  3. 100000 visas revoked last week as a result of travel ban
  4. That's why there was so much discussion of a Constitutional crisis last weekend, before Trump went and did something else shocking to distract from it. But yes, right now CBP is ignoring the judiciary, which is unconstitutional. As a practical matter, however, nothing can be done about it in the short term.
  5. Worse. If I was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Comcast, and I had a gun with two bullets, I would shoot Hitler and Stalin and beat Comcast to death with the empty gun over a span of days.
  6. Today I made my pilgrimage to this house of sin and depravity. Solemnly I traded honest coin for one of these abominations, and I ate of it, forever staining my body and soul with contempt for any natural order or basic morality. It was truly, intensely, meh, tasting almost exactly like a chicken sandwich, which is not bad. My main objection is the cost; I could have had two ordinary tacos or three bean burritos for the same money. I suppose it could be an option for those who are sworn enemies of the gluten, depending on how the chicken is breaded, but it's not as though Taco Bell is short on gluten free options.
  7. Arnold responds to Trump's obsession with Apprentice ratings
  8. God I hate troubleshooting this firewall.
  9. I haven't seen any real disagreements yet. Even on abortion. It really looks like he's just signing whatever EOs the Heritage Foundation puts on his desk.
  10. Why would they do that when so far he's been the hard right's wet dream come true?
  11. But there were so many AR-15 variants this year! /s
  12. Listen kid, I'm not gonna bullshit you, all right? I don't give a good f__k what you know, or don't know, but I'm gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It's amusing, to me, to torture a cop. You can say anything you want cause I've heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain't gonna get.
  13. Their best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and f__k the prom queen.
  14. Would you mind not shooting at the thermonuclear weapons?!
  15. What does it mean when PornHub has more credibility than the federal government?
  16. On the contrary, banning 220 million Muslims is still banning Muslims, if not all Muslims. No one is under the impression that Trump has managed to ban all of them, though I'm sure he would if he thought he could get away with it. That doesn't lessen the outrage at all. There's no other criteria for denying them entry other than that they share a religion with a handful of bad people in other countries. I assume from your attitude that you don't know anyone that might be affected by this personally, so it might be pretty abstract to you. But I assure you that this unconstitutional order is causing a lot of real trouble for a lot of innocent people. And it's a recruiting bonanza for ISIS and AQ as well, so don't kid yourself that this has anything to do with making America safer. It's only about making America whiter. That's the only purpose it could possibly serve.
  17. The 13% of Muslims who are banned is still a hell of a lot of people. But I repeat myself.
  18. What once was lost, has now been found...
