lol, that gif was directed to everyone who corrected me and not just you. Your post happened to be the last post and was quicker to quote by itself. 

I actually did that gif in person this past weekend, and nobody got the reference.  It made me sad. 

Oh, that would make me sad, too.  One of my favorite shows ever.

lol Kampala tweeted this as if assault weapons are a thing and as if they are imported. Most ARs are made in the US. Kinda messed up how many executive actions she’s already admitted to want to use if she were president, 

“Assault weapons are weapons of war. They are designed to kill a lot of people quickly. There is no reason they should exist on the streets of a civil society. 

As president, I'll take executive action to ban imports of AR-15-style assault weapons.”

 

Also, I know I'm beating a dead horse, but it is HILARIOUS that the media is suddenly not interested in the Dayton shooter's social media history, after that's all they talk about in other shootings and crimes. Such obvious hypocritical schmucks.

Which one?  The Connor kid in Dayton?

I thought he had said he was ultimately a Warren supporter and would be voting for her in the primaries.

The NYT is swiftly becoming a more lucrative version of Vox/Salon/Slate.

New York Times releases a second edition with a different headline after Twitter backlash and liberals announce they’re canceling subscriptions.

The NYT and others have all stopped trying to hide their partisanship since Trump got elected.  Unfortunately a lot of people still think the news is actually as reported by the liberal media.

I'm starting to believe the people who call the DSA a cult.

I loved that guy toward the end who lost his shit at the previous guy for starting his statement, "Guys ..."  DON'T USE GENDER PRONOUNS!

Fucking hell, that was glorious to watch.

I don’t know if enough mental help exists in the world.  Where do these people come from.

Pretty sure at least some of them would get triggered by you asking about their place of origin like that.

The left: Spends weeks complaining about political rhetoric.

Also the left, a twitter account for a US house Rep out of Texas sends out a picture of names of San Antonio people who donate to Trump, in an effort to intimidate them.

Like I said, if I had been in a swing state where my vote mattered I would have voted for Hillary.

But I think I'd probably vote for Trump over all but about 5-6 of the Democratic contenders.  Give me classless dumbass over bat-shit crazy any day.

It's quite obvious none of those people were disciplined as a kid. Good Lord "your whispering and chatter is TRIGGERING ME!!". "Guys" is offensive, don't use gendered words!

Not sure how you can think there is even 1 you'd rather vote for that the Dems have put up.

I'm at the point where depending on the Dem nominee I'll either be voting for Trump or voting for 3rd party/not voting at all. You know exactly what you're getting with Trump at this point, and it's not some sort of existential crisis. If a guy like Hickenlooper somehow gets the nomination (he won't) I'd probably just vote libertarian or stay home. Bernie/Warren/Harris/Beto/et al, I'm actively voting against them.

This is where I stand.  When the Dems realize they arent beating Trump I could see someone go rogue and run as an independent.  Never understood Why Bernie just keeps letting the Dems shit on him
