Wait....you cant post a story about how crazy some elected official is because it comes from a news source you dont like?  Since that is the case you think that the story is BS?

You can post whatever you like.  And no, I don't dispute the story happened.  My point is that with 350 million of us in this country, there will always be incidents of people doing crazy things, whether in the name of politics, religion, race, whatever.  Unfortunately we live in an age where it is easy to project every one of those people's actions to everyone.  We then read or watch these stories and start to believe they are part of some trend or movement or whatever the case and that they actually represent something significant.  

 

Most of our country functions just fine.  Differing views are what makes us great.  Extremists or nut jobs are not representative of the bulk of us.  Pasting these stories and making that suggestion is what I disagree with.

I feel great.  I was referencing the illness of liberalism and its apparent bizarre side effects.

You don't sound like you feel great.  You are always making these grandiose statements like "God save the republic".  Makes it sound like we're all in peril.  You sound nervous.

Lol, Kevin Hart announced host of Oscars on Monday, out by Friday. Bc a comedian made some jokes about the gheys. One of the most obnoxious shit in America today is the bowing down to 12 fucking people who are offended about everything. Let the losers be offended and don't even acknowledge them.

I like Hart's comments on "evolving" since he made those statements....but he didn't need to apologize.

People's worldviews always evolve, and when it comes to LGBT rights etc, better than half the country worldviews have evolved in the past 15 years.

Very interesting. NJ bans magazines with over 10 round capacity (literally almost anything). No grandfathered in. So on Monday there are going to be a whole lot of “criminals”. And the police have made no mention of how they plan on policing this new law. Hopefully this goes to the Supreme Court and gets overturned because it is an outrageous law.

No court of law is going to convict someone who has owned that clip for 20 years.

Some dipshit from the USA Today dug up some Murray tweets from when he was 14 where he said “queer” and decided to write an article about it. People need to get a life.

Bet the writer never said anything regrettable in their life. Lucky for them twitter wasn't around when they were a teenager.

It's a really dumb thing for the writer to do.  Of course, the "woken" will blame the NFL for normalizing this behavior, when reality is so what?  It's not going to keep him out of the NFL or for his draft stock to drop at all...which will make it look like no big deal and that there's no consequences.

So by calling out someone who won't suffer consequences, the writer is actually helping to normalize something that presumably offends him.

But it's hilarious that Cuomo apparently forgot what network he works for.  He's basically a less obnoxious left-wing version of Hannity.

Maybe at that moment but he is also a puppet of lefty media.
