To be fair that's almost 20% of the GOP faithful saying "yeah gently caress this is bad", and almost another 10-15% on the fence. Almost 30-40% of your minority party voting bloc thinking you are guilty as gently caress is absolutely abysmal for his chances of reelection

"would you still vote for him anyway" is at 100% 'yes' in reality though

our insane "everybody is a feudal lord on their own property" runs up against our insane "guns for everybody everywhere" in this case

The compromise is that every beer sold needs a handgun taped to it as the handle, but the bar owns the guns and the bartender has a remote control that makes all the guns fire at once. Also the remote control is one of those Looney Tunes style ones with the big red button that sticks up like an entire inch.

Boo zombie apocalypse.
Hooray beer!

This poo poo makes my blood boil. To add to the above, that is some expensive loving day care. My 2 year old is at a reasonably priced day care 5 days per week and it comes out to about $12k per year. Not cheap, but also not almost 30 loving grand.

(Nevermind the limit for a dependent care account is $5k per year and hasn’t been raised since the 80s)

What direction is the handgun facing? Will being left handed protect the drinker? Asking for a friend.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but how could a "Castle Defense" possibly apply here? It's not her "castle" or home for gently caress sakes, she drunkenly broke into someone else's house and shot them dead when they were unarmed.
Under the law she has no obligation to deescalate. It's just throwing as much stuff up as possible to give every juror an excuse to exonerate.

I've come to the realization that there's too much resistance to monumental change from police unions and the like. Rather what we need to do is small concessional changes that shift the paradigm towards big changes without triggering alarm bells for the police. Something like a lifetime murder cap; All cops are allowed no more than 15 innocent murders a lifetime (lets say as a starting point). From there it becomes easy to gradually reduce that number until we've reached some reasonable limit everyone can live with (say perhaps 2 murders per lifetime limit, or up to 4 if they're having a bad day).

I mean, they have like 2 grand after living a nice lifestyle and saving 40k a year for retirement and 12k a year for college funds. Sounds like they have a reasonable budget for their income, despite living in a loving mansion of a house considering that monthly mortgage.

The "husband payed off 50k in student loans at 30" is making me violently angry in ways I can't really articulate

I interpreted that as two murder events, not just two bodies dropped. Limiting our boys in blue to only a brace of homicides is obviously nonsense.

Cop unions keep accidentally getting left out of union-busting legislation. Coincidentally they also keep defending the status quo.

I'm sure they'll join the labor movement once they notice what's happening.
