    It was Tennessee.

    Hey, look! More of the same smug condescension that cost you nearly a thousand legislative seats, most of the governorships, both houses of congress, the White House, the Supreme Court, and the good will of millions of two-time Obama voters who turned their back on exactly your sort of vitriol. Sill haven't figured it out, huh?

    Hey look, another Trump faggot pretending there's nothing to see

    It's always fun to see a homophobic liberal angrily demanding that we do something for reasons that he can't even muster the intellectual honesty to describe.

    Look, we know you people working for the DNC are incredibly disingenuous, vitriolic, hysterical loons. We get that. But don'to you think that your permanent misery over - despite having partisans in the DoJ and FBI doing everything possible to help her out - Hillary losing the election should give way to you spending your energy describing a clear-cut, constitutionally sound REASON you think the election should be un-done? Oh, right, I keep forgetting that your real objection is to the constitution itself. Why not just say as much? Is it because you're a coward?

    Employers are under no obligation to negotiate with you. Take it or leave it. That's the fucking problem.

    Why should they be? Should they be obligated to take a losing deal that ends their company, and thus provides no jobs? Who says which negotiations they must take on? Do you think YOU should be forced to negotiate until you don't get what you need out of the job? Should you be forced to work for somebody because somebody else struck a deal with them? No? Why not? Should you be able to walk away and pursue something else? Of course you should. Just like a business owner should. If they don't want to offer enough money, they won't get decent people to work for them, and they lose. What's wrong with that?

    Someone is projecting, but it appears to be you.

    Really? In what way, Mr. Coward? In what way, by identifying the irrationality of people thinking that a gun locked in a trunk is inherently dangerous, am I projecting? The very same people who think the gun locked in the trunk is dangerous ignore the fact that the person operating the car is far more likely - in hard, statistical terms - to kill them by poorly (or maliciously) operating the car itself.

    The bigger worry about owning a gun is not that you will murder someone, but that someone will murder you.

    This entire notion is nonsense. It's simply a regurgitated meme that I'll be you can't meaningfully back up with non-spun, non-angenda-driven blog entries.

    In the meantime, guns are used hundreds of thousands of times a year (I'm rounding down, here - some estimates approach millions of times a year) to stop or prevent violence and harm. The biggest worry about NOT owning a gun is that you won't be able to use that tool to prevent violence done to you or someone you care about. Meanwhile, almost all murder involving guns is conducted by people not in legal possession of the gun they use.

    That's scary. If your state allows people to keep guns in their trunks, why don't you move? I know I would flee that shitty state in which you live.

    Almost every state allows this. The ones that don't honor the second amendment's protections also happen to have some of the worst murder rates. Is your concern that a shotgun or rifle transported in the locked trunk of your car will somehow jump out and start killing people? I've noticed that the people who most often react with your sort of irrational nonsense are generally projecting - they know that they, personally, aren't stable people.

    It's not THE PHONES. It's the services, information, data, tools, communication, maps and other things one gets to through that device that are the issue. People aren't addicted to their phones. They're addicted to their social contacts, to the news, to the novel they're reading, to the weather forecast, and such. Before those phones, they'd have been "addicted" to the AM radio while they were driving, they folded map they looked at, the printed novel they gazed at over lunch, the stock pages in the newspaper, the tabloid paper they picked up at the grocery store, and all of those other analogs.

    How much novel reading or stock research is healthy? It's not the phones, just like it's not the guns, and not the spoons.

    Well, sure. Because people who do much less than what she did in the way of mishandling classified information, lying about it, destroying records under subpoena and the like ... go to jail. So, yes, she should have been locked up. Because she did things that required prosecution and conviction, and people far less guilty get exactly that treatment. This, as opposed to the phony "collusion" narrative being pitched by her camp in yet another way to try to explain away her election loss.

  17. Typically, primitive people don't kill each other in great numbers. That normally requires outside influence.

  19. White America has deliberately caused that violence

    Oh, you mean with our secret time travel technology? That must be how "white Americans" went back in time and caused tribes in Africa to develop elaborate warrior castes and kill each other in huge numbers. Our secret time travel system must be how we caused the middle eastern cultures to begin slaughtering each other for centuries before the US existed. Sectarian hate and grudge slaughter in the middle east dates back hundreds and hundreds of years, and hasn't let up, ever. Your own eagerness to display your ignorance of history, as usual, is a separate matter. Or, more likely, you know you're lying and are hoping nobody notices because you're a coward.
