Trump reading his condolences (in short words so he can pronounce them) to millions of gun-toting Americans, who are just about able to understand them, is farcical. It's a foul and demented joke you play upon each other. Learn, America.

If those sites don't accept passwords like four random hyphenated words, that is not because they couldn't, it is because they don't. And they don't because people use passwords like "Steve" and "password", so in an attempt to make things a modicum more secure sites ask for things to be slightly more complex...h$t5H1T for example.

So would you not vote for Sanders if he got the nomination? The biggest joke of course, is that Clinton is the only actual Republican in the race. As my wife says, if her father, a lifelong Republican were still alive, he'd vote for Clinton. Trump is imbecilic, Cruz is a religious nutjob, Sanders is a Socialist, and Clinton, well, she's safely right of center, pro-business and sensible. Th

Then you need to warn your friends to stay physically clear of Bernie, because she's about to stick a fork in him. Unlike the media have been already you mean? She is same old same

legal means whatever suits those who have most to gain at any given point in history. It was legal to own slaves, because it suited those with profits to make. Of course legal and moral are different concepts. I didn't say otherwise. "Legal" is only ever and always a term used to justify whatever the wealthy law makers want to achieve. Guns, drugs, rape, whatever. In and out of legali

The ultimate irony is that the NRA and its defendants look at the responses from the pro-gun-sense people, which range from sadness to incredulity to humour (as mainly expressed here) and picking on humour, call it out as callousness. "How can you laugh when kids are getting shot, and toddlers are shooting parents?" they say. "You lefties are so mean."
