"... another cat was found murdered and brutalized. There was a piece of the $53,000 reward flier attached to its dismembered body."

OMFG -- the Coyotes are leaving Taunts!

Never before have we needed more -- President Master Detective Trumpfy

"So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly....."

Gosh, if only the Cheney/bush team mightta fucking Known what a Disaster they were creating/unleashing in the Middle East with their unnecessary, Ill-fucking-Legal war on the Iraqi people -- perhaps they'd be better off if we had NOT bombed them back, into the Stone Ages?

If making fucking Refugees is our goal,
We're doing Great!
Again!

Plus, Climate Disaster!

I love This Modern World. They run it in the alt weekly here in Detroit.

Do you get an erection every time someone commits a violent crime that doesn't involve a firearm?

Silly Facts2-- guns don't kill people -- Bullets do!
Make 'em $1000 apeice and see the
Run on Sharp/Blunt Objects!

If you wanna be a (serious) Mass Murderer
ya gotta get Weapons of Mass Destruction.

You can even ask the NRA.

@7

Firearms are more effective killing tools than knives or Molotov cocktails or table legs. That's not a logical fallacy, that's a fact.

@7

You didn't answer my question. Do you get some kind of sexual gratification when people commit violent crimes that don't involve firearms?

It seems like it turns you on. A lot.

Washington is a blue state but we do have a few Republican congressmen, and at least a couple of those districts are competitive.
Every Republican should have Trump's horrible, hateful, anti-American invective shoved in their face and be forced to respond to it.
Either E Pluribus Unum means something or it does not, either diversity is a core value or it is not. It is a binary choice and to remain silent in the face of weaponized racism is to choose to side with the racists.

Tom Tomorrow's term 'Sociopathocracy' is depressingly accurate.

12: Yeah, fuck those worthless pieces of shit for not accomplishing your prescribed level of success and daring to try to better their lives you dashing Master of the Universe (entitled cunt).

16: Seriously, I really do have to wonder how you've managed to place yourself on such a pedestal. Does it just come from living in Shoreline or something?

15: As someone who doesn't have the imagination or will to envision or help build an inclusive idea of the welfare state because you believe overcoming racial and ethnic differences is impossible? Quite frankly, if we can't get beyond racially homogeneous social democracy I'd pretty well say we're fucked as a species and social democracy itself may not actually be worth much.

20: Depending on the state they reside and work in, they pay payroll and other income tax, and they pay sales tax. They pay as much into the system as low-wage earners born in this country. I don't see the problem. Bring them out of the shadows and create a real road to citizenship, and they'll pay even more taxes.

The basic "breaking the law" argument is more compelling than tax, overburdened institutions or population arguments. And if we're really worried about preserving or creating robust social welfare programs, we all need to be paying more taxes across the board. Instead of blaming immigrants, illegal or otherwise, for sapping services.

Now I know you might say xenophobia is one of the reasons white people don't want to pay for government services because they think they will help the "wrong people." But if that's the case we're never going to have an effective welfare state or social democracy because there are already plenty of nonwhite people in this country of ours for angry white people to resent and refuse to increase taxes for.

@15 I guess I'd characterize that as a person who needs to show their work.

What does that even mean 'big government and open borders don't work"?

Its especially important to define "open borders" because as far as I can tell, this term as used means only "more liberal border policy than the speaker prefers".

How many other violent terrorists has the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club radicalized?

@22

"...you don't want to use the best evidence and data to effectively solve the problem."

The truth is you refuse to see the problem.

Saw some video of migrants claiming no showers for 40 days over the weekend.

Kind of like a desert. I understand.

That’s a lot of beard. A lot of matted hair.

Saw relatively cleanly shaven men, some with product in their hair.

Obviously this was as guided a tour as the facilities could manage, and while the men were not as tightly packed as they’d be in, say, a jailhouse in the Philippines, they should be afforded more room and speedy processing times.

Could be they were speaking for folks in other areas of the facility and that they were just the newcomers. Cleanly shaven newcomers with product in their hair, all cleaned up for whatever they were told their asylum hearing would be.

Maybe.

I mean, there are sinks.

And razors, apparently.

Razors for prisoners? Back that up and retroll lil buddy.

Yeah dude - everyone in jail or prison gets a full beard for the entirely of their sentence.

The videos were on CNN.

They should have beards, right tyke?

In today's "sponsored post" news: Ian Eisenberg writes less-bland ad copy than the usual tapioca prose in these things.

The logical is the straw man that anyone claims the “inanimate objects are responsible” for anything. Anymore that anyone claims that automobiles themselves are “responsible” for traffic fatalities.

Nobody is saying that.

But firearms, like many dangerous things, are a particular class of object — like cars, dynamite, opiates, cyanide — with an inherent danger to their use. And like every other dangerous god damned object a sensible society institutes rules and regulations as to their use.

So when you’re done with your lying, obfuscation, and bizarre fetishizing of firearms maybe you can see the facts that support the case for simple regulation of these dangerous objects. Because man, every time you take up this topic you only reinforce the necessity of keeping delusional obsessives like yourself very far away from dangerous objects.

@28 His final statement, if you're interested: https://itsgoingdown.org/on-williem-van-spronsen/

@38: Why would I waste my time reading some dimestore lunatic's manifesto?

Going to need a bigger and more complex objective than failing to burn down a building filled with kids. Now Ted Kaczynski, there was a manifesto that was a real page-turner.

@12 -- The unemployment rate is under 4%. Pretty much everybody who wants to work is already working -- and I doubt any of them, even those in crappy service jobs, are eager to leave their current job and work as a warehouse slave for Amazon.

I can hardly believe Federer is still winning tennis championships. I thought he was looking ready to retire almost 10 years ago. He sure proved me wrong!

@30: There are ramifications of bad logistics, overcrowding, short supplies. Still, the richest nation in the world's history can process thousands in a humane and safe manner as we've done in countless natural disasters and wars.

But the administration is deep diving into evil when cruelty is the policy to "deter" migrants and to keep children in detention as long as possible for private enterprise profit. This madness is creating a deeply psychologically damaged populous and the social ills resulting from that -- we will probably never recover from.

@41 He was not attacking the center itself. He was attacking the transpo lot and trying to disable the buses.

@20
Source? I thought not.

@45: Every single report has stated that he was throwing fire bombs at the building and the vehicles around it. I am pretty sure he knows how fire works, but he is clearly a disturbed and murderous idiot, so who knows, I suppose.

Look, if you want to defend a terrorist who tried to burn down a building full of kids, don't let me stop you, but you can't expect people to just go with your silly fantasies.

Fuck you, cat murderer, Trump, Pence, and your entire Evil Empire! Rot in your own self-induced hellhole and choke on your own shit.
@12 Doofus in Shorellne: I'll pass on being an overworked, underpaid, voiceless Bezos slave. Take off that silly MAGA cap before you lose any more brain tissue.
@13 kallipugos: Agreed and seconded. Well said and spot on.
@42 Escapee from S. Idaho: Thank you for beating me to it and for the WIN.
@47 spunkbutter: As usual, like Doofus in Shoreline, Kenny's MAGA cap's on too tight, and his head is about to cave in.

Where is Lissa?

@2 -- This just in:

"Democratic Congresswomen Urge Trump to Go Back to Russia"

"In a tersely worded statement, the four lawmakers indicated
that Russia was “broken and crime-infested” and required
Trump’s immediate attention.

In a tweet, Trump mocked the congresswomen, contrasting them with the 'real revolutionaries' honored over the weekend on Bastille Day. 'In 1789, these brave people stormed Louis XVI’s airports,' he wrote." --Andy Borowitz in the New Yorker

Trumpfy's no Historian but he knows A LOT about
airports and shit.

Speaking of shit-holes.
