“It’s something I’ll have to deal with for the rest of my life,” said Gardner

“I shot someone, so I’m the real victim here!” (In Nebraska, victim shoot you?)

Now I’m reminded of Dick Cheney shooting that guy and the guy having to apologize to Cheney for it.

He’s playing “Every accusation is a confession” wrong. You’re supposed to make the accusation before you get caught.

When I first becoming politically aware, I was utterly shocked by people, intelligent in some ways, saying they vote Republican because their family is Republican. Like they were voting for the Dodgers.

Reuters not honest enough to write “killing” much less “murder”.

I don’t see any concrete promise made, much less any penalty holding them to a concrete promise.

I think people are so easily swayed by what they’re told about themselves that very often when the women are told that they’re more liberal, they adopt it to be good group members, and when the men are told that they’re more conservative, they adopt it to be good group members.

Edit: Which is not intended to counter what you said about forced breeders, which is absolutely true.

You’re exactly right.

I do wonder why nearly everyone manages to forget that the electoral college exists.

Does the press think there will be some protective force field for them if they succeed in setting America alight?

I understand there will be no consequences for the media kings, but I wonder about the levels below. They can’t all be in a position to skip out on what they are flirting with on behalf of America.

it looks like that to me too

Genuine question. I do want to engage in discussing political matters—well, some days, when I’m up for it—but I’m hesitant because I expect to be viewed with some paranoia. I will do my best not to even look at votes. If I snark on headlines for some time, which I would enjoy, maybe enough people will figure out I’m not something bad.

I’m relieved to learn this is a term. I see so many appeals to civility and decorum, and it turns into giving the Supreme Court away.

Today it reminds me of pro wrestling when half of the stories are what this political celebrity said about that political celebrity, and I’ll wonder how similar or different it was long ago.

I’ve always wished Democratic candidates would be contemptuous when needed. Gutsy. Maybe I’m all wrong, but if for instance Clinton had strongly stood behind having said deplorable.
