Delaney...maybe. Cuomo is a non-starter in any state that isn't mostly cidiots. He sealed his fate on January 15, 2013 - his absolute ceiling is governor or (god forbid) senator for New York.

B-b-but Democracy Dies in Darkness

The OP posited several ideas and asked whether they were mostly true or mostly false. None of these ideas started with "Trump won the election primarily because..." The three things OP stated could be mostly true and also not be the biggest (or even extremely significant) contributing factors to the Trump win (which is actually my position).

The USSS made that call. Not the NRA. I understand the need to flex political muscle, but if I were in charge I'd tell Pence and co. "no dice" if they required people to disarm at the convention. Get a live video feed so he can address the convention from somewhere else if the USSS won't budge and you still want him to speak.

As a mildly insane non-voter, I'd say this is mostly true. The idea that the Dems are the only ones playing identity politics is false. The Republicans are just more of the wink and nod types. Point 2 is obnoxiously worded but I understand what you're saying. I don't think most people are thinking "can't let the gays or the blacks get more status" so much as "****, I like my life and don't want it to change." Since there is no thesis, that is where my commentary will end.

C'mon, man. It didn't offend me but don't tell me you didn't know exactly what you were doing. Keep the comments on racism where they belong...on the football board. OTW is for would ya and hot for teacher. Don't drag it down to TSW's level.

Well if "a QB" is your standard then April 25, 2013 should stick in your head too.

They said they were my friends!

There is a focus, but the negativity isn't there. They'll run out a "winner" (as they call them, "normie" or "Chad") if one shows up to give advice/sympathy/etc. but they won't blame a man for winning because he's handsome/fit/whatever. The vitriol is almost exclusively saved for women.

I've peered into some of their online gathering places in the past. Their problem isn't mental illness, by and large. Their problem is they've created a misogynistic (I mean that term in the most literal sense possible, not in some bull **** SJW definition) echo chamber in which they can affirm to one another that they have a right to sex with a woman and anyone who denies them that (namely, the woman who rejects them) is worthy of contempt and should be punished, like we might think of someone who denies someone the right to live. Not only that, but they also seem to think they're entitled to a pretty, slim woman while many of them are either painfully average or below average in the looks department, eat trash at every meal, and don't do anything to stay fit. Do a majority of women generally chase after/sleep with the better men? Duh. A majority of men generally chase after the better women, too. Aside from the painfully ugly and/or deformed, all men can manage to get to a point where a decent looking woman (5 or 6, maybe a 7) would sleep with them through diet, lifting, and just learning how to not be weird when talking to them. That incels cannot see this is a result of two things: the echo chamber mentioned above, and the culture of entitlement in which they were raised. There are other, smaller factors as well: social media culture in which people can exercise their vanity and narcissism without any sort of repercussions, a culture in which it has become normal to publicly shame awkward and/or ugly/fat men for making advances on pretty girls, online dating, etc. This is all JMO based on my observations.

Saw You Were Never Really Here the other night, it ended up getting a short run at a local indie theater. Absolutely fantastic and absolutely brutal film. If you can stomach the subject matter, I highly recommend it. Camera work, sound editing, all the technical stuff, to my amateur eye, were solid.

A dancer for monnneeeyyy.

I don't vape! I'm a real man, I smoke pole. Unrelated: what are you up to tonight?

Oh look, another libcuck who knows nothing about firearms or firearm laws. James Shaw Jr. is a hero and deserves to be hailed as such. You know what would have been better? If James Shaw Jr. or another law-abiding citizen were carrying a firearm and smoked the tweaker as soon as they saw danger. Maybe it would have saved a couple lives that the government, despite all their laws (that, again, failed), could not save.

Oh look, another case where someone who was legally prohibited from owning firearms managed to get ahold of firearms.

Televangelists getting struck by lightning.

He had a top ten hit, but outside of that he was pretty niche as far as artists go. EDM DJ that broke out to some level of "mainstream" in 2011.

Damn. I knew he had health issues but didn't realize they were that bad.

Looked at the calendar today and it jarred some of my earliest memories. April 19, 1995, truck bomb explodes outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

Extra **** gets sent over to the third world all the time. Only requirement is that it doesn't sell in a store.

That's the first one I bought after Touched with Fire.

You recommended this to me several years ago and can say it's fantastic. Also I blame you for the 15 books along a similar theme I've since purchased. Anyway...
