Don’t have Katie Hateface on your show again. It takes a lot to repulse me... But this was repulsive. And that’s coming from a regular Savage Lovecast listener so you know it’s bad.

@1: "Regular listener" that's posted twice in 5+ years, huh? OK. (Also, "Katie Hateface?" Are you 7 years old?) You didn't explain why they shouldn't invite her back. If you want to make the case that she shouldn't return, perhaps you should provide a specific reason. That seems only fair.

I love dogs, but I'm with Katie on this. There's a reason why there's a big distinction between "service animal" and "emotional support animal" in our society. Every person I've ever met that's supposedly owned one of the latter has - without exception - been an entitled child (even well into their adult years) that makes no effort to train their pet to behave, and uses the term to attempt to get around reasonable restrictions against pets in public spaces. On the flip side of that coin, the time that a colleague's service animal (a dog) shit on the carpet and made the entire office stink, no one minded because the dog had behaved perfectly every single day before (and after). The owner took responsibility, apologizing and admitting that he got distracted with work and didn't take her outside when he should have. That was the end of it, because everyone knew it was the truth.

Just because you don't want to be separated from your beloved pet during the day because it causes you "distress," doesn't mean you get to force the creature on the rest of us.

I think it’s great you championed the win of a Conservative Democrat on the eve of 33% of sitting Democrats (including New Democrat Doug Jones) voting to deregulate the banks.

Go blue!

If you're worried that Bernie Sanders is too old to appeal to young people and motivate them to vote, you've forgotten the 2016 primary, when his ability to do so is a big reason he was competitive:

That's also a bit of an odd comment to make on the episode where you're discussing the student protests against gun violence and our current (lack of) policies addressing it, since the student protestors in DC treated him like a rock star when he showed up:

Question: Heard any good self-driving car jokes lately?
Point being, What's too ridiculous considered seriously,
passes for armed warfare topics against anyone any place any day.
DJTrump is a menace to world peace. Disgrace the bastard before it's too late.

Dreaming of World War III, Trump yearns to officiate the cremation of victims with the proclamation, You're fired! At Marlago entrance door: Knock knock. Who's there?
Consumers, wage-slaves and canon fodder. Trump is informed of these visitors and blurts, They're fired! Late night TV humor may be close enough to the truth to convince honest republican voters that they elected a vicious lying con-man TRAITOR!

Scout failed to mention that her's is the generation that is murdering itself.

Most school shooters are students.

Taking guns away from law abiding adults will have no impact on school shootings.

Perhaps Scout and her peers could address the toxic culture their generation has created for itself.

Please wait...
