Being slow and missing the reference is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it. And it can be a tough and emotional thing for goons to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it's often much harder on D&D than on PYF. However, I also know that it won't necessarily turn Aurubin into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of Aurubin's life. People can move past it, and heal.

edit: expanded my point.

A Republican Congress is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it.

He's voted "yes" on a bunch of things, but only two bills that he's authored have passed the Senate: a bill banning the Iranian ambassador from entering the US and one authorizing a reward for information on the abduction of an American abroad.

I reckon it would require it to have a hope in hell of going near anything important, and considering who's in the driver's seat, that's not happening. Otherwise I'm sure constitutional scholars treat Cruz like everyone treats their crazy Tea Party uncle.

Oh come now, back when I had money, I contributed a few hundred dollars to the 2008 Obama campaign. I knocked doors, ran meetings, phonebanked, distributed yard signs. Was real excited to do more OFA events after he was elected, but WELP...

No, it looks like you're the only worthless cipher here, you copypasta-posting douchecanoe.

A few hundred to a Presidential campaign isn't stakeholdership in democracy, its a big "gently caress you."

Yard signs don't vote, QV, just like highschoolers and youth don't vote. Money votes, and brother, a few hundred is nothing. Give it to someone who could use it, like your local state rep candidate. Maybe your few hundred would get you access with them; to a Presidential candidate, anything less than a doublemax is worth nothing.

Because we missed the window of pre-MAD opportunity to take down the entire terrorist training camp then known as the Soviet Union.

And yeah, 9/11 was the result of missing a terrorist training camp. Specifically, the one in Florida which trained the hijackers. Had we been less fearful of politically incorrect profiling of KSA nationals learning to fly jetliners in America, we could have avoided that whole Afghan excursion and focused on the true rogue state of the world, Iran.

Probation. It seems like the Victim Impact Statement was intended to convince the judge of a harsher sentence.

Given the judge is black, I don' t think they thought things through.

The judge was universally condemned by experts so I don't know why you are implying he was in the right. It's absolutely something that should be in a victim impact statement.
