Ok so far my outrages is as follows.
1. Yet another shooting that nothing will happen to after it to make us safer. Republicans will just get more money from the gun lobby and begrudgingly make some PR stuff about it and that's it. 2. Trump is an idiot asking Japan to build cars in the US. You know not that Mazda, Toyota, and Mitsubishi don't do that already. 3. Saudi Arabias king is consolidating power. 4. Scott Pruit hired Fossil Fuel CEOs as EPA consultants. 5. Texas A.G. wants more guns in churches. 6. Trump says Texas isn't a "Gun Issue"
I can't this morning. But I will only to fan the flames to my rage.

Bought this card after the inauguration to hang in my office. Felt like we could use it.

I'll be bringing my license with me on my run tomorrow morning so I can be one of the first at the polls. I'll be voting straight Democrat this year because I can't stomach voting for anyone who would willingly start their political career at this particular moment in history as a Republican and fail to vocally, repeatedly refute Trump and all he stands for.

I'm worried about the individual mandate. It's on the bargaining table for tax bill negotiations. And I read this morning there's an executive order in the works to broaden hardship exemptions if they don't add it to the tax bill. So either way they're going to do major damage.

My SIL is a republican and doesn't know that my email address isn't hers (our full names are literally one letter different), so she erroneously gives out my email address as her own all. the. time. Look at this disgusting email I just got (which I assume was intended for her)
ELECTION DAY IS 2 DAYS AWAY: Your polling location in Virginia may have changed since the last time you voted.
Confirm your voting location for November 7, 2017 here: vote.gop
Dangerous MS-13 gangs in your neighborhood must be stopped, and that can only happen by cracking down on illegal immigration and stepping up law enforcement when it matters most.

Did I miss someone sharing the news that Rand Paul was assaulted by a neighbor over the weekend and has sustained serious enough injuries he has no plans to be in DC again for a while? No motive yet for the assault.

I don't remember ever hearing this idea, but I think it is a great one. I think that if there could be a lot of money for the insurance industry, then their lobby could (eventually) keep the NRA in check.

The look on Shinzo's face is priceless. Like "JFC I hate that I have to do this..."

I can't even formulate a calm, rational response to him saying this because it makes me blind with rage.

This is the first time I've heard of this idea. I like it. I've been saying this for years. You have to insure your vehicle, your home if you have a mortgage, etc. Why shouldnt you have to provide insurance if you own a firearm. I also think you should have to be background checked, licensed and retested/rechecked every 4/8 years just like a drivers license.

I honestly don't know if PR will ever really recover from this. I mean, developers might come in and build resorts on all the abandoned property, but the people there (or not there) won't.

pesto I kind of do agree that if it were politically motivated, Rand and his camp would not have hesitated to make it known. I don't have any idea what the story is, though.
