Important question: Does Ted Cruz wear two watches?
One set to CANADA TIME!
Hello.
Enjoy our Canada rejects.
So, have they let you in on the post-election invasion plans yet, Rufus? We’re good, right?
What are they going to do – reclaim Maine?
WE HAD MAINE?
You still have part of it, you bastards.
There are actually some islands around the Maine/New Brunswick border area that are officially disputed territory, which I find amusing. I’m a little surprised FDR never tried to seize Campobello island either.
There’s also Point Roberts?
Just send me an email under the heading ‘Deep dish pizza?’ and we’re good.
Only saucy, sassy Cuban ones.
Hello Rufus
Goddamn, and I was going to post the same thing.
What’s stopping you?
One set to CANADA TIME!
So like 20 yrs to the past?
[mime clap]
Oh, come on. It’s only like 15.
I like how right when they reveal the 2nd one is a Fitbit they show a pic that looks like he’s in the middle of a heart attack.
Is the Grand Wizard here yet?
Are you talking about Krusty’s Komedy Klassics?
(shouldn’t have done this at the Apollo Theater…)
A certain fellow from the emerald isle.
Cuchulainn?
I’m tearing up here, man. This forum is the best.
“Irish|6.4.13 @ 10:01PM|#
I like that in H&R canon I’m no longer just a drunk Irishmen who came here when the blight took my potato crop. Now I’m an Irish Traveler bare knuckle boxer.
At this rate, you guys will be claiming that I’m the reincarnation of Cu Chulainn by the end of the month.”
I have to admit, I didn’t see the racism thing coming back then.
I’m sure it’ll blow over eventually as long as you avoid phrases like “race realist” for the near term… or it may become part of your permanent persona like sheepfucking, interdimensional doom-cock raping, banging fat chicks or being Nicole. (listed in ascending order of worstness)
“banging fat chicks”
Wait, people think I bang fat chicks?
Jokes on them! Women won’t even look at me!
Wait, are you denying that you go hogging?
I go hogging, they just shoot me down.
This wasn’t you Irish?
There were so many laughs in there, *please* tell me that was real!
“He drink all morning,” said Chan. “He get crazy. I tell him no more beer for you and he throw Pu-Pu platter at waitress. He a very bad man. He broke very expensive mirror!”
I’m fucking dying from laughter over here.
It really came out of nowhere, didn’t it?
So, I’ve been working and shit. So I’m confused about Irish’s racism. Is there a story here, or just Jim being hilarious?
“So, I’ve been working and shit. So I’m confused about Irish’s racism. Is there a story here, or just Jim being hilarious?”
I don’t want to restart an argument, but basically there was a post about black people being more likely to get in trouble for seat belt violations. I argued this isn’t proof of racism because there are all sorts of racial disparities regarding more African Americans breaking certain laws. Therefore it’s possible racial disparities are the result of more black people actually breaking the law.
Some people said I was being racist and then I got mad they called me a racist and there was like a three day long fight over it. Now we’re mostly in the joke making stage.
Oh, OK. I do remember that part.
I try to steer clear of that whole mess. I have no confidence in the statistics about that sort of thing, so it’s just pointless.
I got called “the biggest cunt in the universe”. So easy.
Ouch.
So.. Sodom and Begorrah, then?
I’ve been so abused by punning and general word play lately that I found this funny, and am sad.
I’ll pick up the slack here, jesse…
*narrows gaze*
Thanks for doing the heavy lifting there, Swiss.

Canada can do better than first-past-the-post electoral system, Monsef says
The objective, she says, is to NEVER AGAIN ELECT THE TORIES TO FEDERAL OFFICE! (if she was honest)
Oh no, they LOVE LOVE LOVE Real Tories. It’s just those horrible evil neo-con Tories they don’t like.
Real Tory is any Tory who is at least
a) 20+ year out of power or
b) indistinguishable from a Liberal and unable to get into power
In other words, the UK version of an American Republican statesman.

‘An alternative exists’: the US citizens who vowed to flee to Canada ? and did
Please, no…
Why do we hate Canadians so much we want to inflict them with people like Mr. DeLahunt? Wouldn’t it be more humane to just bomb them instead?

We give them enigneers and they guve us Justin Bieber?
If that isn’t casus belli, what is?
The worst part is that the rest of the world seems to think Bieber is an American. I lost count of the number of people who said something along the lines of “Oh those ugly Americans” when Bieber wrote some petulant bullshit into the guest book at the Anne Frank museum.
Well technically Canada is part of America….
“We give them enigneers and they guve us Justin Bieber?”
No, they gave us William Shatner! He’s worth 3.14159 Biebers.
“engineering MANAGEMENT” is all you need to know about Mr. DeLaHunt.
Oh, god some risk averse little paper-shuffling puke who squeaked through e-school.
You got it!!
And he didn’t come back?
Didn’t anyone tell him Bush isn’t gonna be president forever. Like only another year?
Yeah. He didn’t return once Obama took office? What a racist.
Everything you need to know about the Zika virus.

Kid Rick also endorsed Trump.
Who?
I assumed that Florida Man would at least be distant cousins with him.
Kid Rock is a poser. He is appropriating genuine Floridian trailer living to make profits. He’s a sum bitchin’ Yankee from Michigan for christ’s sake.
Everyone knows Vanilla Ice is the Real Florida Man
At least he’s flipping houses in SoFlo.
And stealin everything that ain’t bolted down!

Brown is also a favorite of many establishment Republicans because of his centrist positions, including support for abortion rights and for a ban on assault weapons.
Are you fucking kidding me?
It’s Massachusetts, what do you expect?
Scott Brown’s political career was aborted. Scott Brown’s ambitions were also gunned down. He is an expert on these matters.
WaPo: what can you do? They’ve no idea just how thick that bubble is that they’re in.
WaPo: what can you do? They’ve no idea just how thick that bubble is that they’re in.
You don’t think Establishment Republicans are like that? Their support for the “right” is a mile wide & 1″ deep. They’d like to keep abortion rights & keep out assault weapons so they can keep telling those people, “Ain’t it awful? Maybe if we work hard enough ($) we can do something about it.” But they’re not sincere. They want enough acceptance by moderates & the “left” so they can stay respectable & in the game. Their actual personal opinions? Who knows, probably avg. on avg.
He’s this billionaire real estate guy who is running for president.
Student still can’t orgasm after spending three years trying to achieve one
Patriarchy!
as many as one in five British women suffer from the illness
Having lived in the UK for a number of years, this explains much.
Shockingly
Until you’ve met a few British men?
The shock wears off pretty fast.
“Is your wife hot(t)?”
“Does your wife give you oral sex?”
“Does your wife nag you incessantly?”
“Do others want to sleep with your wife?”
“Does your wife use headaches, backaches, tummyaches, or Idris Elbaches to avoid intercourse?”
I bet that survey would yield some surprising results too.
I think that many are also lying on the survey (claiming orgasms that haven’t occurred).
Did she try enlisting the help of a man?
Women are supposed to orgasm, too? That’s crazy talk.
Already filed under “who cares?”
Or another woman, even? I hear them girls are real good at that.
Yeah that’ll help
They made a movie about this. It turns out that her g-spot is actually somewhere in her throat.
I’m working to get the rights to that so I can remake it as the premier release in Wartyvision.

Why refer to her as a student?
Also: not that shocking, am I right?
I’d be willing to assist if she’s hot…
You decide.
NOOOOOPE.
Ditto. But there’s always Crusty.
Impossible to tell for sure from the terrible pictures in the article, but she may look like Cher…
This is so awful, I would almost be willing to donate for research to fix this. Almost.
Has she tried this?
Why aren’t you the worst yet?
Because I bring you this.
I click them all! You abuse your tremendous power.
Dear God…I clicked both as well…
Roll ’em in flour …
If a person never got an orgasm, it’s hard to see what would motivate him to expend any time or money trying to do so. The only credible recommendation a person might get would be from the experience itself. If he never was inflicted by an orgasm, there’s no reason it ought to be particularly interesting of a pursuit. It’s sort of like religion.

92-year-old California man defends home from armed burglar
You get in trouble for self defense in CA?
Rhetorical question?
Maybe?
He’s lucky he’s 92, they can’t put him in jail for very long.
They will spend millions of dollars keeping him alive by any means necessary to keep him in jail longer.
Of course!
It’s common sense! Can you imagine if people defended themselves against intruders by killing them?
Why the police would have no overtime to testify in court. Crime scene technicians would have to go to other states to look for work. The prisons would have fewer prisoners to incarcarate, and fewer corrections officers to man them. California’s GDP depends on criminals committing crimes and giving the cops a good run for their money!
Only the evil austerity-loving Koch brothers would think that a dead violent home invader is an improvement on a live one terrorizing the community.
Only if they have Ice Tea and Skittles.
It depends upon how wealthy, famous, and/or connected you are.
Bavarian queens of traditional industries
Anna-Kristina Bauer grew up in Germany’s Bavaria region and was aware of the culture around carp. But the photographer never knew there was a “Queen of the Carp.”
When Bauer took a closer look into the subject, she realized that a lot of traditional German crafts are represented by a local “queen,” usually elected for a year to promote everything about their region or their product.
There is the Queen of the Blossom, the Queen of the Lakeland, the Queen of the Horseradish, even the Queen of the Bavarian Veal Sausage. “I found it absurd at first,” said Bauer, who photographed many of them for her project “Twelve Queens.”
I don’t see anything absurd about it at all.
Yeah, that custom came to the US and still persists. Rice queens in Louisiana. Doubtlessly others for other ag products.
Rice queens in Louisiana
That’s gotta be a hard life. I can’t for the life of me recall seeing a single Asian at Cafe Lafitte in Exile
He walked right into that one.
Thank you. That felt like being left hanging for a high five for two hours.
Those are some exceedingly German-looking women.
You know who else went to odd lengths to promote traditional German crafts?
Werner von Braun?
Germanicus?
“Twelve Queens”, isn’t that the name of a bar in San Francisco?
Twelve queens in the same bar? If there ain’t a show, there’s gonna be a fist fight. If you see one taking off her earrings and wig, run.
It’s what Jesus called the disciples when they got bitchy about feeding the 5000.

The Queen of Carp? I’d throw her back.

Kid Rick also endorsed Trump.
The lyrics to the Kid Rock classic, “American Bad Ass, ” could easily describe with Trump thinks of himself. I care about you people so I will not link them.
The only advice I have is *radio edit*.
KR was ahead of the NSA.
Um…I’m going to have to question how it took The Intercept this long to catch him.
“After speaking with two members of Dylann Roof’s family, The Intercept can no longer stand by the premise of this story. Both individuals said that they do not know of a cousin named Scott Roof.”
So he invented a person. Note: The article is like 300 words long so I have no idea how people didn’t figure out the person who said this:
“”Dylann liked her,” Scott Roof said. “The black guy got her. He changed. I don’t know if we would be here if not ?” Roof then abruptly hung up the phone.”
wasn’t real. I mean, that sounds like a super genuine thing a real person would say. Totally not fake.
Dude. He’s just a cub reporter. How was he to know better?
Sorry in advance for linking to gawker.
OF COURSE Irish is gonna question a story about a woman falling for a black man.
No one seems to note that the writer had a very-specific beat
I believe Irish wanted to point this out, but he did not, because of his obvious racism.

Texas Dad Who Took Away Daughter’s Phone Not Guilty of Theft
Similarly…
Court: Grabbing wife’s phone is robbery, even if it’s jointly owned
Dammit.
Dad should stop paying the phone bill.
I think the problem is that he can’t – mom (IIRC they’re divorced) paid for phone, and presumably the bill. I have the same issue with my kids.
Grand Prairie police arrested Jackson a few hours after he commandeered his daughter’s cellphone and refused to return it. The 36-year-old father says a text he found on the phone was rude.
The girl’s mother says she owns the cellphone and reported the confiscation as theft.
Oh shit. Sounds like she’s got 50% good parenting.
What’s really awesome about that story is the fucktarded wife is married/engaged/dating (can’t remember which) a Grand Prairie cop.
Who got his friends to serve the warrant at 2 in the morning.
2 in the morning. For petty theft.
Eh, it surprises me more that SWAT didn’t execute a no-knock raid complete with flash grenades. I mean, Jesus, how can we let these criminals continue to walk the streets?!

DC is voting on a bill that would pay people not to commit crimes
“You got a nice city here. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.”
This is DC.
You are kidding, right?
Would any of those people be legislators?
Under the bill, city officials would identify up to 200 people a year who are considered at risk of either committing or becoming victims of violent crime. Those people would be directed to participate in behavioral therapy and other programs. If they fulfill those obligations and stay out of trouble, they would be paid.
Emphasis added. WTF?
This is the beginning of preventive detention without due process.
I have found the woman of Tulpa’s dreams.
She’s demanding a lifetime supply of Kit Kats to repair the injury she suffered from Nestle’s defective product.
Sure she has a mooslim name, and she is not American, so Tulpa would have to sacrifice much to invite her to corrupt with her presence the land he sanctifies with his foot. But I am convinced that these two are made for each other. They could bond over a revulsion at kosher Coca Cola I’m sure she would share.
But when she opened the bars to find them waterless, she wrote a letter to manufacturer Nestle demanding a lifetime supply of Kitts, even quoting a case from the 1930s.
She’s got no case. Sorry.
I think they meant “waferless”.
Can you imagine the horror! Only pure chocolate! The bastards must pay!!!!!!
They should send a pallet of wafers.
Outstanding. A lifetime supply of wafers.
To be fair, the waxy .0001% cocoa chocolate that they use in those things would be horrible on its own.

US ‘to quadruple defence budget for Europe’
Tours to Germany are back man
Yeah,just what Europe needs.Another reason to not pay for their own defense. They’ve living off the U.S far too long.
US providing defense burns me like no other foreign aid, because the fuckers can afford their own defense.
They have to pay for those 6 week holidays some how.
Give’em a break. We’re talking about people that can’t even SPELL “defense”. How the blazes they going to actually defend themselves if they start fucking up just trying to talk about it?
Unlike some here, I am not opposed to keeping our military large. I don’t want us to go on any “adventures” that don’t have a vital US interest, and don’t have a clear indication of “victory”.
However, how is it that we need 4X more spending in Europe due to “Russian aggression” when we have apparently shot our load of smart bombs against ISIS (whom Russia is fighting against)??
Just another example of the complete confusion and utter bumfuckedness that is this administration’s “foreign policy”.
Why does the US have a defense budget for Europe?
Think of it as the DoD’s meals and entertainment line ite
They should do like in that book where they have people whose job it is to get as many things as possible billed to the Russians. Of course, in the book, the Russians were doing the reverse to USA, so it probably didn’t really make a difference.
So when can we collect rents from our European vassal states?
Right?
Rent? I would prefer the term “tribute”.

I Support Bernie Sanders, And I’m Not Stupid or Unrealistic
I’d like to briefly dispel a misconception about people who support Bernie Sanders as the next president of the United States:
We’re not stupid.
I’ve got a college education and a good job, and I’m guessing I’m not the only Sanders supporter who does. Now, this doesn’t necessarily make me smart, but it is at least an indicator of having achieved some level of learning that would indicate that I’m capable of coherent and independent thought.

Best laugh I’ve had all week.
Did they no require English composition at that college?
John, I taught freshmen at a pretty decent college in Boston. That guy’s writing is better than the product of 98% of the students I taught.
Here is what I don’t understand. It is one thing to write something like that in a blog comment or an email. God, knows I am the kind of such things (including the above post where I forgot the “t” in “not”). It is quite another to write like that in something that he knew would be published and read by a fair number of people. I seriously doubt he just banged that out. He probably tried. That is not his first draft. That really is the best he can do.
Everyone gets a gold star. You wouldn’t want to hurt their FEELZ. Also, grammar and syntax are just tools of the hetero-white-supremacist patriarchy, anyway.
My wife was a TA for a psych professor in college in a Flyover state, and most of the department were Extranational Chinese of Means who could not write a lick of English, let alone use proper punctuation or syntax. One paper ten page paper was a single sentence.
When asked why my wife failed the students who wrote like that, she told them their language was incoherent, and no reasonable educator could feel confident in their grasp of the information.
So the papers were diverted to a “International Student Center” where the student was allowed a complete rewrite past the deadline and a graduate student supervisor.
The students went from Failing the course to Passing. My wife was not removed from her position, but for the rest of the semester she was relegated to only grading the natives.
Fun world.
It’s the institution’s fault if they allowed those students into those classes without the prerequisite academic English proficiency. But I don’t understand the need for scare quotes around the phrase international student center.
Culture clash, Cynic.
I misread your first sentence. I thought Flyover State was an ironic name for a specific university.
Appropriate.
Actually, the college degree has been so devalued in the U.S. by the notion of “college for everyone” that, no, having a degree does not indicate above-mentioned capabilities.
And let’s make it free!
35% of people my age have a college degree.
I don’t feel like 35% of people are that smart.
Wait, you’re 15? Do your parents know you’re on the internet all the time?
Of course. Most of the Klan’s business is conducted in cyberspace these days.
It is just like that idea I keep coming back to:
“We won’t rest until ALL of our students score above the median on our state test!”

A friend of mine is obsessed with college football recruiting, and every time he hears about a kid being recruited by an Ivy league school he says “whoa, that kid must be super smart.” I have gotten tired of trying to correct him, but I still die a little every time he says it.
According to some of his supporters, I thought institutional education existed to make us mindless automatons for the job market. So, “I was educated and have a job” is evidence against independent thought.

Yea when people have to start off with credentials i am not sure they have much of an argument
They have gone from “hope and change” and “yes we can” to “we do not expect miracles” in just 8 short years.
You can call them short years if you want…
Well yeah there is that.

I fucking hate people who can’t understand that compartmentalized knowledge exists. You can be smart and get a job within your field, and know absolutely nothing about economics or politics. Ben Carson is a fucking brain surgeon. I bet that if I walked up to this guy and said ‘Ben Carson is really smart,’ he’d say ‘no he’s not, he’s a religious loon!’
Both those things are true. Ben Carson is objectively smart, but has some ridiculous ideas because being a smart brain doctor does not mean you know anything about evolutionary theory.
You mean Bill Nye might not be the best authority on global warming? No way!!

No,in his mind only those greedy ‘rich’ people will pay for it all. They never see the revolution coming for them till it’s too late
It’s not a misconception.
A good rule of thumb is that if someone is trying to explain to you that they aren’t stupid, they probably are.
This.

Well, if at some point they happen to mention something like that there could be hope. But when they introduce themselves that way I see it as a red flag.
“I’ve got a college education and a good job”
Translation: I have a master’s degree in Women’s Studies and I’ve just been promoted to assistant manager at Starbucks.
You were indoctrinated by a cult, but I guess that only makes you a brainwashed, damaged fool, not an idiot.
Someone posted this Millennial whining earlier, but between this and the Bernie Sanders HuffPo article, it’s amazing how stupid and narcissistic the people who write this kind of garbage are. Look at this:
“And you may disagree. Of course you do. That’s how you were raised. But this is how I was raised. I love my family. I love my friends. I love my life. I value the time I have away from work. I recognize that hard work will get me far in my career, but I understand the importance of balance and moderation that will lead to a happy life.”
This woman IS MARRIED. That means she has to be in her mid-20s at least. She writes like a teenager and not a very bright one.
As previously posted, she’s kind of a hot debutante, so she’s going to get more than a fair shake in the employment game.
If she were 44 and nine miles of rocky road, she’d just be an entitled bitch at the methadone clinic.
Like I said on the other post Diane; its hard out there for a hot white girl. Who thinks of the hot white girls?
She’s a hot chick, so she actually CAN bail on life and set up shop in someone else’s.
As long as she is hot, there will always been some dumb ass guy out there willing to take care of her and listen to her shit, for a while anyway.
I resemble that remark.
Ride it for all its worth Diane. You go girl.

I identify as Diane. Don’t invalidate me.
I wouldn’t get too carried away with that persona, there might be a subpoena with “your” name on it in the works.
I wouldn’t get too carried away with that persona, there might be a subpoena with “your” name on it in the works.
And a guaranteed pardon immediately following.
ut remember this.
No matter how hot she is, some guy, somewhere, is tired of her shit.
That would be me, after reading her pablum.
BTW, someone posted her Derpbook page and every shot of herself looks suspiciously like a Glamour Shot. She seems about as shallow as a Southern California swimming pool in the 1970s.
Did you scroll down far enough to see the close up of her engagement ring? My suspicions were confirmed.
I did not but I’ll take your word for it. More carats than a Bugs Bunny convention?
Yep. The privilege shining off of that ring was so bright that it blinded me.
What burns me, is that I also love my family, and my friends and my time away from work. I have no desire to work 70 hours a week. And as long as I have enough to pay the bills, save for retirement and have some fun, I am good with my standard work week.
BUT I DON’T EXPECT OTHERS TO PAY FOR IT! Freedom doesn’t mean you HAVE to work hard. It just means that you can work as hard as you want (and as long as someone is willing to pay you for your effort).
That’s a lot of words and many claims of knowledge for someone who was shitcanned.
You’re a millennial, which means you’re at most 1/3 of the way through your life. And much of that time was spent shitting your diapers, picking your nose, and chasing kids around the playground. Maybe you don’t have the perfect grasp of the world and “the importance of balance and moderation” just yet.
And wow, I just saw the facebook photos from the other thread. She does look like she comes from a loaded family, or married into one. It’s not hard to stand tall on your 5pm-quitting-time principles when you’ve got that kind of safety net.
Related: I was looking at the Internet comments for a possible new employer, and one guy kept complaining that there were no “summer Fridays.” He said the people were nice, management was otherwise fair, but no summer Fridays! It’s the summer! I personally never heard of such a thing. I gather it is getting off early on Fridays so you can enjoy the sun. Even though the place shuts down by 6pm (in NY, so sundown is 9pm). I do hate having to work indoors during the summer, but for fuck’s sake.
That’s NOT how I was raised, but whatever.
Somehow I missed Andrea Tantaros conversion to a paleocon. Looks good on her
https://twitter.com/AndreaTantaros
I can’t imagine anything not looking good on her.
You know what would look good on her??? – Me.
She looks a lot like that beatch who got rough with the Uber driver.
Tantaros is very attractive. Her role on Fox is to wear short skirts and spout off right-wing dumshittery. She caters to her audience of sweaty peverts.
preverts! Goodness.
I can only imagine that if I were a right-wing dumbshit pervert I would eat that shit up.
Has that other chick with the glasses gotten too old or something?
I didn’t see anything in there about fortress American and the j00s, so I don’t think she qualifies.
Charles Cooke is absolutely schooling her right now though.
So “paleocon” now means support for arguably the most pro-Israel candidate in the race?
Trump is the most pro-Israel? His paleocon and anti-semitic supporters would be shocked to hear that.
She went to Masada, a place of great historical importance.
And took a yoga selfie.
Who likes dumb chicks?
Depends, what for?
Oh.
Right.
*raises hand*
If by “dumb” you mean highly suggestible, I’ll go along.
At least she showed humility and respect with the black leotard.
I like chicks that can do that.
1) Eww. Have at it, Crusty.
2) This is embarrassing to watch.
At the risk of sounding like a whiny Jezebellian, newsbabes who get to speak with authority because they are newsbabes have always annoyed me. I am sure there are male newsbabes as well, and they also annoy me.
Brian Williams?
Hey so this dana milibank guy (cited in Flint thread)….is he typically a troll for hits or really that stupid?
Por que no los dos?
He once said this about the Koch Brothers (to Al Sharpton on MSNBC)
Haha i dont know what that means. But thinking he might be an attention whore.
He tweeted that flint was due to snyders private sector theology
Two US generals want women to register for the draft
Warning: auto-play video
Two of the U.S. military service chiefs believe women should now be required to register for the draft after the Defense Department opened up all combat jobs to women.
Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Robert Neller and Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley agreed that the current policy, which requires only males register for the Selective Service System, should be changed after restrictions that barred women from trying out for combat jobs were lifted last year.
“Every American who’s physically qualified should register for the draft,” said Neller at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday that examined the new policy to admit women into combat units.
Why not abolish draft registration completely? That would be non-discriminatory, too.
Who am I kidding, that’s not the kind of equality these guys want, it’s equality of oppression they’re going for.
Nothing like trying to put in or take out a tampon when your hands were blown off by an I.E.D. EQUALITY AT ALL COSTS!
I will help because I am a Patriot and I support the troops.
No kissing though.
If women are elligible for combat, then the draft should apply to them just the same as men. Of course, the better course would be to eliminate the SS altogether.
I was waiting for this – and have an idea what some of the objections are going to be. Ha!
Gun makers streamline guns for women who carry
Warning: Auto-play video
Women are driving the gun industry to crank out new guns just for them, including pistols tailored for smaller hands and handbags with holsters.
Women are the fastest growing demographic in the gun industry, pushing background checks to a record high last year. Motivated by fear in what seems to be an increasingly dangerous world, they’re buying guns for self-defense.
They’re not just buying handguns that are pink and purple. They’re buying guns that are easily carried and concealed. Concealed carry permits are on the rise, and women are signing up in increasing numbers.
Gun manufacturers are responding by streamlining their pistols to easily be concealed and to fit feminine hands.
And a woman will be be *so embarrassed* if some other woman brings the same style gun to the shooting range, am I right, guys?

Women are the fastest growing demographic in the gun industry,
Out of the two demographics that that split allows for?

OMG, so problematic

Why do anti-gun people always use the word “fear” like it’s some horrible smear?
I didn’t read the full article, so I’m not sure what the general tone of it is, but I’m sure everyone who follows the gun debate has heard some “progressive” dismiss the gun-buying public as just being full of “fear”.
Buying a gun is a personal safety decision. It’s about accepting that there are violent people walking free and that having a firearm on your person gives you the best chance of surviving an encounter. That doesn’t strike me as a thought process that is carried out through frantic and irrational fear.
Next time I hear a “progressive” say that I’m just buying guns out of fear, I’ll turn the tables on them and ask, “Are you so afraid of a house fire that you actually purchased and installed a device just to detect smoke?” or “Do you really put that fabric belt around your body every single time you drive your car?? Why can’t you let go of all this fear?”
Why do anti-gun people always use the word “fear” like it’s some horrible smear?
Because it indicates a lack of faith in Gov. Progs find that… disturbing.
On one of the gun forums where I used to spend time there was a lady who would shut down prog discussions when asked why she carries a gun by answering “Because I will not be raped again.”

So on that Andrea Tantaros/Charles C.W. Cooke exchange this happened:
“Ben Carlson ?@Bencarlson88Ben 2h2 hours ago

@Bencarlson88Ben Nope. You guys always sending ppl back to wrong country. Learn to diss accurately @charlescwcooke @AndreaTantaros”
Person 1: GO BACK TO EUROPE
Person 2: He’s not from Europe, he’s from the UK!
Person 1: Well, I know the UK isn’t actually in Europe but it’s kind of European.
Person 2: No, the UK is not in Europe, stupid.
These people vote.
And are voted for. The only thing worse that calling a British guy “European” is calling a Scotsman an Englishman.
Whew, good news, that marina chick is from Montreal. Suck it Rufus!
Montreal? That’s more European than the UK!
