But that’s a double standard!! WAAAAAAAA!!! It’s not fair!
:rolleyes:
It is for them and, therefore, for everyone, which means they’re being punished for doing something we’re all thinking, they just had the bad luck to get caught. Yes, some nontrivial number of them actually believe that; it’s a small part of their underlying belief that they’re the majority, any evidence to the contrary is Liberal Deception, and any time they lose an election is Voter Fraud.
It justifies their behavior, you see, because the only people who are offended or even inconvenienced by it are not like them, and therefore a minority, and, really, nobody truly cares what happens to minorities.
A Stanford professor and two conservative students conspired together to get “opposition research” on a liberal student that they were hoping to keep from influencing student organizations. One of the students is the son of Obama aide Susan Rice.
Sadly, we’ve had those people on this very board. One in the ‘not a joke’ thread right now. I’ve argued with them on FB and other places as well.
Yes, they honestly think that everyone is a racist but that us ‘virtue signallers’ are just pretending that we’re not in order to pretend that we’re better than them. :smack:
500lb bomb works to knock down walls too. And you’re sure to kill the shooter.
With that said, it is kind of an interesting idea. A compressed air fired ‘cannon’ that shoots water bottles to breach walls. ehhh. no. The last thing needed in crazy situations is something like that. And every fire department, and Police department is gonna want one. Training day just got a lot more fun.
If bullies are kicking people in the head, the solution is not to have everyone put on a helmet. The solution is to stop the bullies from kicking people in the head.
Sadly, the right wing have become extremists.
What I mean by that is that far too many of them only see the extremes. If people can’t own any gun they want, then obviously no one will be allowed to own any guns. If we regulate businesses, obviously we’ll micromanage them out of business. If people get punished for being racists (by companies and their fellow citizens), then it is instant Big Brother where no one can say anything without fear of the gubmit.
We can’t let gays serve in the military or everyone in the military will be forced to be gay. (Yes, I’ve heard that many times) :mad:
Slippery Slope has become the argument de jour. There are ONLY extremes.
Putting cannons in schools to blow down walls in case of a school shooting is a completely untenable idea for any number of reasons. But I don’t think your little aphorism really demonstrates much one way or the other. In some situations it’s reasonable to treat the source of the problem. In some it’s reasonable to protect from the effects of the problem. In many situations it’s reasonable to do both. Dunk Driving is a problem? Well, let’s have education campaigns and marches and publicity telling people not to drive drunk. Let’s also increase criminal penalties. Let’s also invest in breathalyzers. Let’s also have seatbelt laws. Let’s also have laws about crumple zones and crash survivability. Let’s also educate people about being extra cautious when driving late at night or on holidays. Etc, etc, etc.
On the other hand, Javanka truly are a feckless cunt.
Yeah, just wait till those wacky kids in the AV club get their hands on it!
Apparently UltraVires thinks that we elect a President to investigate crimes.
I guess I was previously unaware that our previous Presidents moonlighted by fighting crime on the side. :rolleyes:
Abraham Lincoln - Vampire Hunter 
official trailer
And don’t forget that President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho will also have been a five-time Ultimate Smackdown champion AND a porn superstar. Okay, maybe not the same as fighting crime, but there will be fighting. And porn. And a President.
And don’t forget Super President!
Kris Kobach, who is now running for Governor of Kansas, participated in a parade riding in a float with a replica machine gun.
This isn’t stupid.
Stupid is a foot-bullet. Stupid is an unforced error. Stupid is hurting yourself, and this isn’t going to hurt him.
It’s distasteful to people who wouldn’t vote for him anyway, and that’s about it. It helps him rally his base, it gives his base that smug feeling in the bottom of their stomachs they get when they TRIGGER DUH LIBRULS, and the backlash he’s getting is another stick he can use to hurt his enemies: “SEE! They’re so offended by guns they can’t tolerate a real one! They’ll take yours, next! SEE! SEE! SEE!” and that’s a reasonable strategy for him.
This isn’t any dumber than any other toddler with indulgent parents throwing a fit in public: It gets them what they want, and if it isn’t a good long-term strategy, well, that isn’t part of their planning.
“Stupid Republicans” can refer to voters as well as candidates. It fits.
My take is that Allison Barrie got a giant kickback from BCB International. The whole article looks like it was plucked straight out of an advertisement.
“DeVos Says There’s One Thing Her School-Safety Commission Won’t Be Studying: Guns”
Yeah, other sources of campus violence. Like food fights, kids throwing erasers at each other, people getting their hands slammed in classroom doors. Yeah, those are the REAL dangers confronting school kids these days.
If there’s one thing the members of this administration excel at, it’s contradicting themselves. Well, let’s call it what it is: lying. They’re all good at that.
