I guess that was..... ....the last straw.

What's the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean?

We got our pictures and we have about 1000 but I won't torture you with all of them

Starting to think the president might be stupid

@Chairslinger @Anathema- @Jason @GeneticBlueprint @Keyser_Soze @legend Fuck, I'm blanking out on who else was in the thread. I know our fallen markot and apoc were but it makes no sense to tag them.

The entire Paul family should be beaten to death with copies of Atlas Shrugged.

Gah, every time this thread gets updated I get nervous something bad has happened.

My wife and I welcomed our first last month. Sounds like I need to get busy on a second.

I know you're getting swamped with notifications, but I appreciate you talking about it and being open. So here's what I think: Most undocumented immigrants, first, are called undocumented by people who sympathize with them because most of them aren't sneaking into the country. They're here legally first. He makes the wall the centerpiece of his platform, but it's another political maneuver that creates a (bad) solution that doesn't actually solve a problem. We have barriers and checkpoints in place, and the original deal that Trump last-minute rejected put forward plenty of money for increased border security. Border security is fine; it's a basic thing that we need. A wall isn't a solution, nor has he really explained how it's a solution and why it's worth the money he's asking for, and the onus is on him to do so. That's putting aside the fact that shutting down the government because you can't get your idea passed through Congress is a bad way to operate government. Funding the government has been a basic thing forever, but now government shutdowns happen regularly. Furthermore, he's anti-immigration, straight-up. Asylum-seeking is legal; he wants to make it hard/impossible for that to happen. Anti-immigrant groups continue to get larger, and I encounter more Republicans who straight up want to lower immigration or close the borders and look down on people from other countries who want to move here. One even cited freaking climate change (that's a new one from a Republican, for sure) as to why we shouldn't let people into the country. The sentiment against people who "aren't us" continues to get stronger, and it's crazy considering many who say this describe themselves as pro-life or "All Lives Matter" (except for these people).

I'm actually going to suggest that the interpretations haven't been loose, but rather have been all-too-accurate. This means that the entire original premises of the amendments are intrinsically flawed/unsalvageable to begin with.

The odds of this dude reaching across the counter and grabbing a little white lady is really close to zero, so, yeah, it is worth noting in the story that he was white and she was black. The way this guy was treating the employee is par for the racist course.

Tonight I’ll be cooking tons of green beans and wrapping several gifts. Afterwards I’ll play some video games. Then Christmas Day our entire family will celebrate at my nephews. He and his wife just purchased a new house this year and so we are going to hang out there. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Do you guys know what it's like to be raised by a family with some really strong views in these areas? It influences you. Hopefully, you get out of their grasp, see a bit bigger world, and change your views. I simply cannot judge someone for their views as a teenager/young adult. Shit, even look at people like Robert Byrd. He was terrible well into adulthood, but he later renounced his views and became a much better person. There's plenty of stuff to criticize Tulsi Gabbard for other than digging into her teenage years for stuff she no longer believes or supports.

They are people, after all!
