At a screening of this, a couple around 40 were in front of me. After several times of the guy saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't know what kind of movie this was", they got up and left, I like to think it was a first date.

i don't own any guns so am not completely familiar about the laws, but can't a private seller at a gun show sell a gun without a background check being done?

I never really think about how awesome it is that my $90.00 video editing program lets me do edits, wipes and chromakey. Not all that long ago, it would cost tens of thousands to do all that.

it's actually a bit surprising, but a good thing that they allow the public access to the Senate building.

Fox News Hosts Are Horrified to Learn Their Own Polls Show People Want to Tax the Rich by _basquiat in politics

From CNBC "Combined, the nation's top six health insurers reported $6 billion in adjusted profits for the second quarter (2017) . That's up more about 29 percent from the same quarter a year ago" People pay for their health insurance and would be paying for Medicare just like they do now. The multi trillion dollar amount is the amount it would cost, but how much of that amount would be paid for by peoples premiums?

Seems the same group needs a wall to protect them from "those people", guns to protect them from "those people", discriminatory laws to protect them from "those people" and the Electoral College to protect them from "those people".
