“There’s nothing you can do about it” is the meaning of life. Make best with what you have, and be thankful that shit isn’t worse. Because in the end, there is no magic formula to make everyone think exactly like you do.

The bill also bolsters the NICS reporting system with additional funding and directives for additional reporting. If I'm not mistaken, this bill also includes funding for studying all firearms violence in America as well.
And Franken is done. I think the reaction was way over the top, but that's just the times I suppose. I'll never understand why someone like Franken gets pushed out for this while people make endless excuses(and many still do) for people like Clinton. And that's before we even get started on the republicans... It's nice too that with all the corruption in congress massive scandals like "tried to kiss someone" is what makes people lose their shit. Keep those priorities straight, 'Murica!
Franken was pushed out for political leverage over Trump and Moore. And because nuance is completely lost when analyzing situations, the accusations against Franken are the exact same thing as Moore’s allegations. Even if there’s actual evidence that shows that Moore at least knew and interacted with high school girls. Not to mention the 30 corroborating sources. But yes, some anonymous people accused Franken of trying to get a kiss or grab an ass. Even the tweeden story is full of holes. It’s exactly the same as being a pedophile. But this is the dems and SJW’s fault for supporting a completely unnuanced discussion surrounding harassment. If you must believe all women regardless of circumstance, that knife will cut both ways.
If anybody believes ANY stranger regardless of circumstance it makes them a naive person. It doesn’t matter if that disbelief “offends” anybody or not.
Yeah, because that's totally going to work. I think the main reason is that people are too thick headed to consider nuances. So, basically what you said in the rest of your post. These are the same people who apparently couldn't give less of a shit about Menendez and fucking reelected Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
I didn’t say it would work. I said it’s what they are doing. The dems will always bring piss to a shit fight. They are assuming that taking the moral high ground will suddenly make them feel shame. They haven’t expressed any so far, so why start now? What’s funny is that on fox, they were defending Franken yesterday for his offenses not being too serious. And that he’s being pushed out as political leverage. They can tell the truth sometimes.
I think people conflate "believe" with "take seriously". I think that any accusation made by anyone should be taken seriously, and not just pushed aside. That is not the same things as unilateral belief.
I agree and I think it would have been a great opportunity to show the American people what due process looks like through an ethics investigation. It would have been a real nice change of pace to throw some cold water on the zero-tolerance, accusation=guilty mind-set. Not all offenses are created equally and no one seems to give a shit.
It looks Doug Jones is trying to sabotage his own campaign against Roy Moore. His campaign has confirmed they sent out this flyer:
Looks like Moore is just kissing the Base’s ass with comments like that. Like a lousy stand-up comic going for the cheap applause.
I don't even think it's that. I think he just genuinely does think much about blacks or what life was life for them. He just has this idyllic view of the "Christian Past" and views slavery as at most a blemish on this grand and righteous time. He can't conceive of a world where "people who don't believe in God, but also don't own other people" could be morally superior to a world where "people fear the Lord God and occasionally build a regional economy on chattel slavery."
Can’t conceive of a WORLD where people don’t believe in a God? I would love this schmuck to visit Canada where he would be labelled a brain damaged circus freak. Have people point and laugh at the silly, perverted old retard babbling about Jesus just like any urine-stained nutbag on the corner. You still have way too many men of power in your nation that seem to think America is going to go back to this magical, good-times, old-timey Apple Pie era that never existed in the first place.
