probably one of the more accurate applications of how the founding fathers viewed the second amendment tbh
America is really beautiful and interesting. For example right now we have two different candidates for national office who are just straight up shooting surveillance cameras www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Meet the candidates putting bullets in Flock cameras
Some political hopefuls aren't just opposed to surveillance cameras—they're shooting at them.

I don’t know, taking money from a nonprofit to use for personal benefit very much seems to fit the model of “economic development through conservative-based ideas”

Ed Sheeran having some openers drop of his tour is a PR problem that doesn’t impact the actual concert much, but him losing most of his backing band four days before the next show is a lot to have to deal with

This story is not funny but this Robert Kraft quote did crack me up: “I would welcome the opportunity to sit down with Macklemore and discuss the facts, because ultimately our goal is the same -- peace for all people, an end to suffering, and an end to all hate." www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
Patriots' Kraft says Macklemore performance would cross line
Robert Kraft said he had Macklemore removed as an opening act for Ed Sheeran's shows at Gillette Stadium due in part to a "history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery that we believe has been deeply offensive and hurtful to the Jewish community."
