I'm old enough to remember when conservatives would be aghast at administrative warrants being used by feds to force their way into your homes.

My gmail inbox is now bafflingly being filled with spam emails from addresses that I've blocked. The emails even still say in a header at the top that I've blocked them. Yet, here they are, in my inbox.

No, you’re allowed to have a gun when you approach someone in America. It’s a right that our government shall not infringe by, e.g., shooting you. There are many complexities in any given situation, but this US Atty’s statement is wrong and inconsistent with our 2d Amendment.

Fans of the right to keep and bear arms have rightly pointed to the Second Amendment as protecting the ability to resist abusive government officials. ICE is in the process of demonstrating why that constitutional amendment, and the freedom it protects, are so important.

I would like to remind everybody that the bump stock ban that got tossed out by SCOTUS was from the Trump admin. He's never been good on guns.

Sometimes you gotta just love those "Saying the quiet part out loud" moments. This, in a nutshell, is the real, unvarnished soul of NIMBYism.

Probably the only person happier than Donald Trump about Don Lemon's arrest is ... Don Lemon himself. Congrats on rescuing him from him from his well-deserved cultural obscurity.

The most conservative SCOTUS we've had in decades literally rejected a challenge to Obergefell just a month ago. But I'm sure that's not going to stop them for begging for you money to help bankroll this "campaign."

Oh, hey, too-online folks got ridiculously "Boy who cried wolf" with ridiculously overbroad definitions of "doxxing" and now government officials are taking advantage of it. Imagine that.

Okay, I guess my hot take of the day is that the level of security an inmate is placed under should be based on the level of threat they present and not as a reward/punishment based on government cooperation. That's gross.
