    Anyone ready for FarCry 5?

    Not to go full P&N here, but the Montana GOP candidate in today's special election just body slammed a reporter for asking a question and was charged with assault. He's been criticized in the past as too religiously extreme, even by papers that endorsed him. If his flock break him out of...

    Remorseless man who murdered 7 schoolgirls hailed as hero

    There are a lot of killers. We've got a lot of killers. What, you think our country is so innocent? I think that our country does plenty of killing, too.

    The difference between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Trump

    I think I'd have preferred, "Donald, you were at your first National Prayer Breakfast as the recently sworn in President of the United States of America, and you took time from this event to talk about the ratings on a game show you used to host. Donald, seriously, what is wrong with you? Seek...

    Women's March speaker tortured a man to death

    Do you want to go down that road, where what other people do is imputed to you? I don't think you do. I don't think he was gay, given that he was kidnapped by 3 women who said they were prostitutes and promised him sex. He was also a criminal who was killed by his partner who thought he...

    Women's March speaker tortured a man to death

    And that's a framing I can understand, even if I disagree. Man, next time let's just start at the end!

    Women's March speaker tortured a man to death

    I don't even know what you're talking about, unless logical progression constitutes mental gymnastics for you. I do note that your non-response saved you from having to explain why the war criminal is a-ok but she isn't. You know, for a good few seconds I thought you meant Hillary and was...

    Women's March speaker tortured a man to death

    I don't know that that hasn't happened. I don't frequent the reformed-racist seminar scene (worst TED talk ever) but I don't find it particularly difficult to envision a man who as a boy was raped for years, and who then committed a rape, served prison time, and when he got out educated himself...

    Women's March speaker tortured a man to death

    I'm not arguing that she's a good person, whatever that means. And she was both a victim and a murderer. The latter does not excuse the former. Obviously. Which is why she spent 27 years in prison. I feel like we're simply stating obvious things. This is someone who was degraded and...

    Women's March speaker tortured a man to death

    "Free pass"? Is that what you call 27 years in prison? How did I not "address" her violent crime? You needed me to affirmatively state that torture and murder is wrong? My failure to do so "implies" that atonement "cancels" the crime? No, "addressing" her crime is not an attack on the...

    I'd suspect week one for the Trump administration was a big win

    Maybe, but you know he's staring at that Gallup chart and just imploding.

    Millennials go crazy on Uber over a tweet. I think not so sure.

    It's a combination. Uber CEO is on Trump's economic advisory board, has said he'd work with Trump, add in the surge pricing/JFK issue and a somewhat tepid statement on the travel ban versus a direct competitor's unambiguously condemning the EO, coupled with their customer base being...

    Women's March speaker tortured a man to death

    Why? He's a war criminal who murdered civilians! Why does he get to speak at an anti-war rally, but a women who was tortured from the time she was 9 and also did horrible things as a result is precluded? I'm not sure how man-hating can be called irrational given how women have suffered under...

    Women's March speaker tortured a man to death

    BLM also fails to specifically advocate for cancer survivors. By your logic, they're pro-cancer, or at best, ambivalent about cancer. She was a victim of violence against women, so she advocates in the arena of violence against women. She does not implicitly or impliedly condone violence...

    Women's March speaker tortured a man to death

    Another straw man. BLM left off the (too) or (also) at the end. They figured it would be understood, rather than deliberately misinterpreted. They probably should have known better. Wait a second, in your comment you didn't say that you were against male rape. Why do you think it's ok that...
