    Chris Christie must have missed the news about Jordan’s air strikes against ISIS awhile back. I think their was a rumor King Abdullah flew a few himself.

  3. 3

    Yeah it is much better to grow up with vitriol and bitterness like the political time have brought than dirty dance.

    NH high school cancels student parties due to ‘dirty dancing’ http://www.nydailynews.com/new.....-1.2471089

    I was going to be more dramatic and state my point a different way but I stuck with the boring way to say it. My more colorful approach was to use the G or F word, the N word, and the S, and the K word, and the C word.

  4. 4

    This is probably what happens when you don’t let someone dirty dance when a kid. You steal at 71 yo for porn.

    @2 Looks like Adelson thinks he can bully judges, and replace them if necessary, if they don’t kiss his ass.

    @4 Embezzling is a widespread problem for veterans’ groups and other nonprofits. I once belonged to a veterans’ organization here in Seattle that folded after its leader helped himself to its funds.

  6. 6

    @5 That’s appalling. But not surprising.

    Bernie’s fans can stop wetting their pants. There’s no conspiracy.
    But I’ve never considered him a Democrat. He’s never run as one, and he’s never raised money as one, so their reaction is still puzzling. It’s like he’s a squatter.

  7. 7

    I get a lot or emails soliciting my vote and money contributions for several of the Repuke candidates. Not all of them but from the same campaigns, pretty much from the Teaparty types (but who isn’t one nowadays), like Crud, rand Puke, Ben Cursed, and Allen West.

    Not sure why I get them. It doesn’t bother me. Maybe a friend or an enemy of mine have them my email address. But I could care less.

    But what gets me is that their are no unsubscribe links to unsubscribe. So I reply to the emails and tell them to fuck off. I never get any return emails saying undeliverable, so hopefully someone is getting my “fuck yous”. Hopefully they are putting me on son socialists watchlist.

    But after reading one Today I know why I should vote for Crud. It said it in big Cap letters and bold font – “why doesn’t Obama say radical Islam”.

    More of question but I guess that’s why I should vote for Crud.

  9. 9

    It’s not that big a deal if I did. As long as my email was obtained by party rules. I mean, if he’s the nominee, I’ll donate and want them. And don’t get me wrong, No matter who the D’s nominate, I’ll give my all to see they get elected. We have excellent candidates. They embrace my president, the best in my lifetime, as well they should. They seem to learn from their errors, which can’t be said for the opposition. And they have a solid hold on reality and what’s possible, something, again, that can’t be said for the opposition . And Bernie is good for the Democrats, whatever happens. He’s energized young people and future voters. And that’s a very good thing. I really don’t think he wants any acrimony and neither does the party. I know I don’t.

  11. 11

    @10,
    do what I do.
    Get yourself an extra gmail address, maybe a google+ account, facebook, etc. all linked to the same extra gmail address.
    Use your real name and address as a registered voter and sign up for some “interest” oriented free publications having to do with guns, bomb shelters, and a few “libertarian” concerns like mass surveillance, pot smoking, and term limits or some shit like that and link to that gmail address and associated social media accounts.
    The campaigns use big-data to do voter identification. They definitely look at magazine subscriptions, club memberships, but also nowadays, “free” crap that you might sign up for online. They try to focus on interests that their research indicates is closely aligned with the campaign messaging and the likelihood to be persuaded to vote for their assholes. Give them what they are looking for. Just, for gosh sakes whatever you do, don’t give any money, especially not to the NRA, Operation Rescue, etc. They are evil and will put your money to evil purposes. Just find “free” but similar interest groups and activities to give your info to. And of course use someone else”s phone number. I recommend an international number.
    Then just sit back and keep ’em danglin. Respond with interest to some of the emails. Never, ever, tell them to fuck off. Keep them invested. Make them spend their money badly.

  12. 12

    @11 thanks. I didn’t expect a reply from Boob, I pretty much knew he’s incapable of the true explanation.

    Turning to Puffy instead of Boob would have been better (just kidding everyone).

  13. 13

    I got to give it to Jeb! He probably doesn’t have a shot to win but he’s going to tell it like it is when it comes to Trump. He’s said more disparaging comments about Trump than Obama.

  17. 17

    I wonder how Americans would feel if we had a Repuke in the White House an San Bernadino happened? Oh, wait we did have a San Bernadino with a Repuke in office, 9/11.

    Does Netty protect Israelis from terrorist? Does it work for him? Oh wait it doesn’t work for him either, there are plenty of terrorist attacks u set Netty’s watch. Is it protection that people want? Or just strong revenge and rhetoric on thier evilness?

  18. 18

    A thread devoid of the eliminationist hate-rants of the batshit insane. But it won’t last for long. And it will persist. Why? Because the proprietor of this blog doesn’t give a shit. Hell, our Sawant fan-boy capitalist blogger who sucks a billionaire’s teat probably likes making a few penny’s worth of pocket change off it.

    So you tolerate eliminationist hate-speech, huh? Tolerate this, bitch. I’m in the mood to clean the sidewalks of my city with both yours and the goatfucking loon’s goddamned faces.

  19. 19

    Not sure if there is one Tepuke watching tonight, but it really can’t be at all fulfilling for them because not one boo yet.

    The boo likers are dismayed.

  21. 21

    @6 Fascinating viewpoint. It’s true that Bernie Sanders has only recently assumed the label of a democrat. I can’t list why he didn’t choose to be a democrat from the onset, maybe he found it too constraining.

    But by his actions, he’s acted more like my template of a progressive democrat is, than a large number of politicians who have been labeled democrats for years. (Heck, Kim Davis was democrat until recently ). He’s the candidate who is seem to me the mostly likely to fight for the middle and poor classes. He’s not perfect, but I see him as fighting more for the non 1% than any of the other candidates.

    That said, if Hillary gets the nomination, I’m voting for her, because she still is better than ANY of the republican candidates.

  22. 22

    @18 do yourself a favor – just call the ape an Ape. Get it out of your system. It will do you wonders.

  23. 23

    Democrats are better people, sounds bigoted, but Repukes are bitter angry fucks with nothing to offer but selfishness and self centeredness and hate.

    Love will overcome

  24. 24

    “Get it out of your system.”

    I did get it out of my system. For now. I believe you did the same, get it out of your system, when a week or two ago you posted a single sentence comment which read “Republicans should be exterminated”. I didn’t say anything because you’ve been hearing far too many people on the right calling for your own death, and I feel for you. One can only take so much.

    Call it a rather mild warning shot, heh, fired in the direction of Goldy, Darryl and Carl. If they are going to tolerate hate-speech, I can take it to a level they’ve never imagined, and I will be directing it at them.

    I may do it tomorrow as well in the Bible Study thread. Those posts too often seem to get what has to be Goldy’s desired result, hateful comments spewed by progressives toward all Christians. And these posts and comments come from people who no doubt get worked up into a lather when those on the right take that same broad brush towards all Muslims.

  25. 25

    @8 So we can assume the tea party candidates aren’t getting any money from you, right? And why should they? Medicare millionaires like you are the biggest socialists around, except possibly for Republican farmers.

  26. 26

    @24 If you can’t get any satisfaction from human religions, you can always worship the Great Mother Rabbit Spirit. You don’t have to be a rabbit, although it helps.

    You 24 hour moronic memory malady moonbats forgot the Rolling Stone article… http://www.rollingstone.com/po.....l-20100622

    ‘How’d I get screwed into going to this dinner?” demands Gen. Stanley McChrystal. It’s a Thursday night in mid-April, and the commander of all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan is sitting in a four-star suite at the Hôtel Westminster in Paris. He’s in France to sell his new war strategy to our NATO allies – to keep up the fiction, in essence, that we actually have allies. Since McChrystal took over a year ago, the Afghan war has become the exclusive property of the United States. Opposition to the war has already toppled the Dutch government, forced the resignation of Germany’s president and sparked both Canada and the Netherlands to announce the withdrawal of their 4,500 troops. McChrystal is in Paris to keep the French, who have lost more than 40 soldiers in Afghanistan, from going all wobbly on him.

    PuddyCommentariat: Puddy remembers the brouhaha over McChrystal calling it correctly, directly contradicting Obummer lies. Can’t do that with the first black preznit. That’s disrespectful. That’s racist. He’s the commander in thief. Even the Rolling Stone figgered it out.

    Butt as always TPPS will call FACTS hate, because when your neanderthal cranial orifice is always in triple pressure from within you have issues. Review all those generals, admirals and underlings by Obummer when they didn’t kiss Obummer’s ASS! When GW Bush fired a military person, the Heilary super pac was there front and center to elevate that fired general/admiral to progressive “god” status!

  31. 31

    More FACTS which TPPS will call hate… https://pjmedia.com/blog/rahm-emanuels-patsy/?singlepage=true

    In the death of McDonald, Rahm Emanuel was presented with a threat to his re-election. Recall that in October 2014, the nation’s attention was focused on Ferguson, Missouri, where Michael Brown had been shot and killed by a police officer two months earlier. That shooting gave rise to the Black Lives Matter Movement, which peddled the poisonous yet persistent myth of “Hands up, don’t shoot.” It’s only a 300-mile drive up the I-55 from Ferguson to Chicago, and the last thing Rahm Emanuel wanted was to offer the ruckus-raising rabble down in Missouri a reason to make that drive and bring their act to Chicago. The video of the McDonald shooting would have provided that reason, so it had to be suppressed. And not only was the video kept from public view, but in April of this year, Laquan McDonald’s family was quietly given a $5 million settlement from the city, this despite the fact that they had filed no lawsuit.

    PuddyCommentariat: DUMMOCRETINS don’t care about anything except their own political hide. If someone under them is expendable, so be it! Then why did it take so long for the feds to get involved? Well who controls the feds? Rahmbo’s bestus bud, his old boss, Obummer!

    The money sentence…. It’s important to remember that in Chicago, every last politician is a Democrat.

  32. 32

    Notice the clueless crazed databaze cretin @30 didn’t post anything until Puddy arrived.

    The clueless crazed databaze cretin needs Puddy because Puddy PWNS the clueless crazed databaze cretin!

    Many Sat. mornings the babbling jackass troll puts HA FIRST before the weekly premium that’s paid to the sky daddy.

    The record stands very clear in the comment thread archives.

    Damn! Does this mean an eternity of “soul sleep” for the babbling jackass troll?

    Does the salt mining buddy put something else first?

    And MOST Sat nights the babbling jackass troll puts HA FIRST before its salt mining buddy and the weekly duty in the salt mines.

    The record is quite clear here in the comment thread archives.

    It’s too sad a life for this troll.

  34. 34

    @24 I’m not sure those comments on the Bible Thread are all hateful, I think a lot of them are made in humor. Nobody there has ever said or called for the killing of anyone or directed any hate towards any individual life form other than the religion itself, if you want to call that hate then call it hate.

    My comment on the extermination of Republicans, believe it or not, was in defense of what you are trying to get across, as well as a response to Republicans wanting everyone else exterminated.

    I have posted here on many occasion references to the pastor who called for killing if the gays, in the presence of 3 republican Presidential candidates, and not a peep from pretty much everyone here, especially that it will never be acknowledged by any Republican.

  35. 35

    @28
    Puffy just pretend he was gay, you then wouldn’t have a problem with him being fired, and you can move on with life.

  39. 39

    Michigan Governor poisons people and Fox News doesn’t give a shit. But they love to say Merry Christmas.

    Steve, after berating Goldy, Darryl and Carl, maybe you can head to Fox and Friends for your interview. At the end of the interview they’ll let you say Merry Christmas.

  40. 40

    @ The Schizo @ 27

    Obummer fired McChrystal!

    It is the President’s right, and privilege to fire any General Officer he sees fit to. The civilians control the Military. McChrystal was not getting the job done to the President’s satisfaction, and was interfering with diplomatic efforts to maintain an international force in Afghanistan.

    McChrystal, like any other commanding officer, serves at the pleasure and will of the President. There are multiple good reasons for this. If the President decides that the man isn’t doing his job, the President can replace him with someone who will.

    Petreaus resigned amid his extramarital affair and classified info leak to his mistress, McChrystal was rightly told “resign or be fired” since he committed a possible violation of the UCMJ (Article 88: Contempt Towards officials), Mattis was timed out (he wasn’t eligible for promotion to anywhere, and no billet was available to him…ANYWHERE) so he had to retire, and Flynn bailed out because the DIA “old guard” was resistant to his changes and the DoD didn’t want a Flynn-directed DIA stepping on other departments’ turf (namely, NSA, CIA, and various component Cyber commands).

    General James Mattis was nominated to head of U.S. Central Command (the Middle East(, arguably the most critical assignment in the military, by President Obama. The dude retired after 44 years of service.

    General David Petraeus retired from the Army specifically to head the CIA, at Obama’s request. He then torpedoed his CIA career with his own dick.

    General Stanley McChrystal was behind the Pat TIllman friendly fire cover-up, so I’m glad that asshole is gone.

    Lt. General Michael Flynn was nominated to be head of the Defense Intelligence Agency by President Obama.

    Or would you rather the United States become more like Pakistan, with a Military that operates independently of the Government and does what it pleases?

    Carly Firorina is an abject, pathological liar. One of the Generals she continues to insist was fired by President Obama, (even after being corrected on the date by several reporters) retired in 2003 during the Bush Administration after 44 years of service.

  41. 41

    @40 ohhh im sure he would prefer the way it is in Pakiatan and Russia. Isn’t that the whole point of the 2nd amendment rights.

  42. 42

    I haven’t figured it out nor do I care or try. But my parents, whom have been Democrats all thier life, and criticize the Republucan ways sometimes watch Fox News. They also watch other news stations.

    I’m not sure why they watch Fox News. Staying with them today and nauseated while eating breakfast. These Fox and Friends are complete fucking idiots (sorry Steve).

  43. 43

    Fox and Friends complaining that the Debate was on a Saturday, as if they did that to hide it from Republicans. Have they ever heard of a DVR?

    Republicans are pretty fucking stupid, how do they come up with such bullshit.

  46. 46

    clueless crazed databaze cretin @33

    First thank you for acknowledging to everyone that you know your name – clueless crazed databaze cretin
    Second thank you for acknowledging to everyone that you know your place – Puddy PWNS you
    Third thank you for acknowledging to everyone that you know that no one visits your “blog” of hijacked material from Goldy. It’s sad knowing the only generated traffic is self generated
    Fourth thank you for acknowledging to everyone that you know your picture graces your blog.

    Sux to be the clueless crazed databaze cretin knowing that Mrs clueless crazed databaze cretin is the primary bread winner while the clueless crazed databaze cretin spent all those months screen scraping another person’s brain child to create the crazed databaze that doesn’t even correctly return needed screen captures. ?tct what again?

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  47. 47

    Did anyone watch that farce called the DUMMOCRETIN debate?

  48. 48

    Did the vomit producer read the Rolling Stone article? Obummer was lying about the vast coalition of nations. McChrystal knew this and he admitted it. The man was revered by his forces. Obummer knew this too. Secretary Gates loved McChrystal for his straight shooting. Obummer knew this too. Yet Obummer had to save face like Rahm Emanuel in Chicago. What’s the common theme here? They are big name DUMMOCRETINS!

    Sure everyone serves as Obummer discretion. Butt the Gen Paul Vallely list put forth last week is the worst list of good military men relieved of their duties by any preznit at any time in history! Again Carly is right and Rachel MadCow is wrong again!

    Sux to be so FACTLESS that it shows in SPADES!

  49. 49

    @45 oh ok, so GWB did nothing to round up the creeps that Clinton let into the country, after he was on the job for 9 months. Priority #1 – cut taxes.

    And what about Netty? Has he stopped the terrorism. He sure knows how to say Muslim Islamic terrorists.

  50. 50

    @47. No Fox News already reported on that. They say that’s why it was held on a Saturday. You pukes were in the salt mines.

  51. 51

    @45 can you say Chrustian radical terrorist calling for the killing of gays? No?

    I thought so.

  52. 52

    I bet Republicans are pretty pleased. Their insurgents turned out in force a year ago and gave them total control of the purse strings. Finally they could begin to make some real progress on killing programs and spending they hated. And when the establishment leadership balked, the insurgents staged a coup to demonstrate their resolve.

    And so…
    WTF?

    Not only do the gullible assholes let Big Oil pull a train on them. The even gave Nancy Pelosi a few turns in line.
    Wow. They must be so proud.

  53. 53

    For all those devoted conservative boys and girls who worked so hard for so many years, said their prayers, cleaned their room and brushed their teeth and Dad just took all the Christmas money and blew it on strippers.

    Literally the shittiest Christmas ever.
    Enjoy!

  54. 54

    @53 doesn’t sound like the dad that doesn’t like the dirty dancing. Maybe the Dad is a CON (Conservative Only in Name) man.

  55. 55

    @48 Of course it wouldn’t occur to you, Puddy, to fact-check such lists in case they’re, you know, rightwing bullshit. Is it okay if I use this one?

    http://www.rense.com/general96/listof.html

    Fact Check #1: Let’s start with the first name on the list of generals “fired” by President Obama, Gen. John R. Allen. Wikipedia says, “On February 19, 2013, U.S. President Obama accepted Allen’s request to retire from the military as his wife fell seriously ill. … After leaving the military in 2013, Allen continued to work as an advisor to Secretary of State John Kerry and former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.” Oops.

    Fact Check #2: The second name on the list is Maj. Gen. Ralph Baker. Wikipedia says, “He was fired from command for misconduct in connection with sexual assault and alcohol charges in March 2013, assessed a fine, demoted to brigadier general and forced to retire September 2013 after a 31-year military career. Soldiers serving under Baker at Camp Lemmonier said he had a history of heavy drinking.” Oops.

    Fact Check #3: The third name on the list is Maj. Gen. Michael Carey. Wikipedia says, “In October 2013, Carey was relieved of his command … by Lieutenant General James Kowalski, commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, after an examination of Carey’s behavior in Moscow conducted by the US Air Force Office of Special Investigations. A delegation member representing the Office of the Secretary of Defense with a first-hand knowledge of the incident, whose name was not revealed, triggered the investigation by reporting it to the superiors. Later, she told the investigators, ‘I realized that this was putting us all at risk, especially Russia and women, and I just wanted nothing to do with that’. The Washington Post wrote that Carey had drunk excessively and fraternized with foreign women during the visit. The New York Times claimed that Carey’s behavior during the official meetings was not appropriate, including ‘interrupting speakers and correcting a Russian translator’, and that he was over drinking during the visit, and once attempted to play with a restaurant band. Under the Freedom of Information Act, American journalists filed a request and received a redacted copy of the official Report of Investigations Concerning Major General Michael J. Carey. The report revealed that Carey’s behavior was considered by his colleagues as rude toward the Russian hosts during the exercise and related briefings, especially, when he made comments about Syria and Snowden.” Oops.

    Fact Check #4: Next up is Col. James Christmas. The Marine Corps Times reported, “‘Col. James Christmas was relieved of command by Maj. Gen. Raymond Fox, the commander of II Marine Expeditionary Force, out of Camp Lejeune, N.C., after the general lost confidence in Christmas’ ability to continue commanding the Marines and sailors of the 22nd MEU,’ said Capt. Binford Strickland, a Marine spokesman. No additional explanation was given for the decision. ‘The II Marine Expeditionary Force is not a zero-defect organization, and the relief of a commander is never an easy decision,’ Strickland said. ‘However, the commanding general decided this action was in the best interest of the Marines and sailors of the 22nd MEU and the Marine Corps.'” Sounds like this was a command decision based on performance issues; and anyway presidents don’t normally appoint or fire colonels, so it’s not clear why the list includes Col. Christmas and a long list of other field-grade officers. Probably to inflate the list of officers “fired by Obama.”

    Fact Check #5: Next is Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller. According to the NY Times, “A senior American general stationed in Afghanistan has been fired for criticizing President Hamid Karzai in a published interview. The NATO and American commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John R. Allen, announced in a news release on Saturday that he was dismissing Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller, the deputy commander for programs at the NATO training mission in Afghanistan, effective immediately. ‘The decision follows recent inappropriate public comments made by Major General Fuller,’ General Allen said.” Even though Fuller was a general, this also appears to be a commander-instigated dismissal, as nothing in the article suggests Obama ordered Allen to fire Fuller; although, in any case, Fuller’s sacking was a no-brainer — when our forces are serving in a foreign country at the invitation of that country’s government , you can’t publicly criticize that country’s head of state without clearing your remarks with higher authority.

    Fact Check #6: Next on the list is Maj. Gen. Charles M. Gurganus. According to Wikipedia, after a Taliban raid on a U.S. Marine base in Afghanistan that resulted in the deaths of 2 Marines and damage or destruction of 8 Marine Harrier jets, Gurganus and another general also on the list, Gregg Sturdevant, were found to have been negligent in defending the base (among other things, guard towers were “manned” by dummies), and were asked to retire.

    I’m not going to work through the whole list — it’s a very long list. By now, you should get the drift — this list “Compiled By General Paul Vallely” of “our military elite who have been purged or fired under Obama” is, if not completely bullshit, at least heavily laced with bullshit. None of the people above were fired by Obama; they were all relieved by their commanders for poor performance or egregious misconduct.

    If these are people the Republicans would put in charge of our military, that’s one more reason not to vote for Republicans.

    As for Vallely, he’s a controversial figure, not least for characterizing the war on terror as a war between Christianity and Islam, which, by itself, should disqualify him from serving in today’s military. However, Vallely hasn’t been on active duty for a long time; he retired from the military in 1993, and thereafter was involved in rightwing causes and has been a Fox military commentator. He’s been involved in several controversies. These include falsely claiming that Joseph Wilson, not Robert Novak, disclosed that Wilson’s wife Valerie Plane was a CIA covert agent; and publicly supporting an army officer who refused to deploy to Afghanistan on the grounds President Obama was not a legitimate commander in chief. According to Wikipedia, “In an interview, Vallely stated ‘I think many in the military – and many out of the military – question the natural-birth status of Barack Obama.'” In other words, he’s a birther, a partisan, and a crank.

    Vallely can make remarks like that as a civilian, but no one in the military can question the president’s authority as commander in chief; the officer in question was court-martialed, convicted, and dismissed from the service. Also, it’s highly doubtful that very “many” officers in and out of the military have authorized Vallely to speak for him; he has two known supporters among retired general-rank officers.

    And what shall we say of Puddy, who swallowed this bullshit whole? Simply this: It isn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last, because Puddy is a credulous fool who learns nothing from his mistakes or from repeatedly getting his ass handed to him.

  57. 57

    @55,
    Vallely is a widely discredited fraud who makes a comfortable post-military living singing sweet lies to the security saps. Been sued multiple times. Settled multiple times, admitting to his lies. Nevertheless, he remains on speed dial whenever producers and editors need conveniently pre-wrapped bullshit sandwiches to feed to easily deceived simpletons.
    The kind of simpletons who think Ryan’s budget sellout was a yuuuge victory for conservatives.

  58. 58

    Here’s another example of Vallely’s laughable frothing at the mouth:

    “In a interview with Trunews, Retired U.S. Air Force Lt. General Thomas McInerney and Retired U.S. Army General Paul Vallely spoke about the possibility of a Constitutional Crisis that may occur if Barack Obama refuses to protect the American people from the threat of ISIS and radical islam. The Generals also said that it may come to the point where the US Military may have to remove Obama from office.”

If you don’t, please explain why you believe a military overthrow of our elected civilian government is permitted by the Constitution.

    @28 Actually you didn’t call it back. If you had called it Chicago style politics you may have gotten it right. The General didn’t play the political game right, and probably should not have allowed “The Rolling Stone” access, which was going against the grain of the military’s controlling access and information flow. The military learned a few things in Vietnam and one thing was to control the press. If not for that the General’s comments could have been seen as the weak tea they are. Still President Truman sacked another very famous general so it happens. Both men were sacked and arguable there was enough there for the President to do so in both cases.
    The political promises of President Obama was to get us out of Afghanistan and Iraq and he has not fully delivered on either and has partially delivered. The Congress has had every opportunity to go a different way. Oh wait not enough Republican and Democrat hawks..

    Just watched a the U2 Paris concert on HBO. A nice tribute to what happen in Paris and San Bernadino – a little bit of a love fest and more powerful than any response to the attacks by any of the Republican candidates. A direct contrast to hate. Love will overcome.

    What will you chose love or hate?

    The German language copyright on “Mein Kampf” has been owned by the state of Bavaria since 1945, which has used its ownership to prevent republication of the book in German. Under German law, copyrights expire at the end of the 70th year following the author’s death. That means the German copyright on “Mein Kampf” expires at midnight on December 31, and the German-language edition can then be published and sold in Germany again.

    Some gun nut is going to say the following: “see we need to ban cars now”.

    Well, to me, tid is precisely why we should ban or regulate certain types of guns; I’m sure if this woman could have had an automatic riffle she would have done more damage and mayhem.

    @73 No doubt we’ll hear in the next GOP debate that Obama has failed to keep us safe from people who drive on sidewalks.
