"Parts" of Palestine might be putting it lightly considering there ceased to be a country named Palestine on the globe the day Israel was founded and it has remained that way ever since. It's the kind of thing that could really only have happened exactly when it did: the world was on one hand...

All I remember is the ones hanging out and taking selfies with the Proud Boys. That's the only thing they did that day that they deserve to be remembered for. But yes, the National Guard would take care of things, for sure. And if the cops are crazy enough to side with the rioters and try to...

Both countries need to abandon car culture and join the rest of the civilized world in embracing mass transit. Germany, arguably, has less of an excuse because it's a mostly-urbanized, densely-populated country like the rest of Europe. The US is so damn spread out that nothing short of forcibly...

Honestly? I want his mob to try storming the capital again, this time while Biden is still in charge. Let them see what happens when the cops and military aren't being actively told to stand down and let them do it.

This guy has no idea how much the public would love it if a politician lying, ever, to literally anyone including their voters, were a criminal offense that resulted in immediate expulsion or worse. It's the political equivalent of hating Mondays or dreading tax season; it's such a clichéd...

I get that; what I mean is that "Trans people not only have the right to get a sex change, we should give it to them for free, funded by taxpayers" seems like it would have been seen as the kind of radical idea that even Democrats wouldn't be unanimously in favor of until extremely recently, if...

Honestly considering this issue has never been uncontroversial, I'm impressed that a federal assistance program was covering it up till now. Who passed that?

I don't know if economics even has a word for "government being so in bed with specific corporations that it outright forces you to buy from them", but we've reached that point.

I can think of no one who'd be more motivated to go postal on a school than its own teachers. Teaching is hell.

Also Biden was around during both Watergate and the McCarthy trials; he might be deluded to think there's still such a thing as a good Republican, but he should be more than capable of telling the good ones from the bad ones by now unless he's literally going senile or, more likely, is just old...

I'm not both-sidesing anything; I'm saying that the majority of people on this forum believe the second amendment is bullshit and that people, in general, cannot be trusted to own guns. At the bare minimum, I would hope that anyone who talks openly about violently overthrowing the government...

Hey, I've built up a decent library of videos that are basically this stuff but for video games, so how would y'all feel about this having a sister thread over in Fun and Games?

Ideally people who vote in Democratic primaries would be capable of recognizing the danger of letting old white men continue to run the world, but somehow they do not.

Or the rise of one. So, really, ever.

Next week they announce they're taking back India.

OK, but here's the issue. One of the key things we're fighting for is to strip people like you of the right to even own the guns you're proposing we all buy and use to murder our enemies. So uh... that's complicated.

I wouldn't trust the clownshoes in control of either party with such an important job anyway.

You're still basically describing the American presidency on a good day.

Whatever the reason, it's been proven that civilized societies don't need murder weapons to exist at all in the hands of the general public in order to function. In fact, countries that have stripped citizens of that right are functioning much better than our own.

The thing is, the Constitution is a law. It's not just a collection of aphorisms some famous historical figures wrote that's been improperly treated as one. If you want to stop using it as the supreme law of the land, you'd better have a new one ready to replace it.
