Apparently he apologized today.
I'm sure Jesus would be good with that. Those guys will forgive anything if you're sorry afterwards. It's part of what makes being a Christian so great.

Not sure any reasonable person still doubts this, but the evidence is currently overwhelming that his politics were standard issue pop culture hatred of the right.
Seems to me as good a reason as any to deny under 30 self proclaimed left leaning white males Second Amendment rights to purchase and own firearms. Crooks, Mangione and, now, Robinson have proven that demographic has not yet reached the maturity or personal accountability to posses or have unsupervised access to firearms. Unlike “normal white males” of that age group, it is possible their frontal lobes are experiencing an undiagnosed form of arrested development. Just a thought.
Oh I would just love seeing our friends on the "conservative" right try out suggesting that one on the "liberal" left.
Fake news! In fact, it seems to me that the entire story is extremely fishy.

A very odd remark, I was trying to find the full clip so I could see if there was any context at all added afterwards. I make some off color jokes with my friends all the time, I wouldn't even say what he said (nor is it even funny), so bizarre.
Maybe he's just trying to provide balance. After all, if there's one minority group that has escaped any kind of ridicule, hatred and disdain, it's the mentally ill.
It's hard to take anybody seriously who thinks that Tommy Robinson is part of the solution rather than part of the problem.
People try to do too much when visiting London. I'd just do one thing and spend some time there.
If you don't want to go into town, you could visit the Brooklands Museum, aviation and motorsport. I went there with my son when we had a half day left over at the end of a vacation and were flying out the next morning.
Godwin fail.
@Renauda said in Kirk on the Second Amendment:
I’d never heard of him until last Wednesday afternoon.
I vaguely knew the name but I had no real idea who he was. There's a bunch of these people I hear about from time to time, mostly from other people praising or complaining about them.
Obviously it's an awful tragedy for his family, but I've been struck by how many people I know on Facebook who are commenting on this monumental event who I suspect also had no idea who he was before last week.
@jon-nyc said in Glad the free speech folks are in charge:
Presumably this will be written off as Mr. Trump trolling. Because obviously this can't be real. After all, he's been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Sounds like a good day!
Cheese, beer, bourbon and local hard cider and I’m as sober as a judge. I will leave it to the reader to determine which judge.
I take it all back. I spent the last week on vacation in Vermont, and holy shit this stuff is awesome.
I have also being testing some beers and today we visited a distillery. I didn’t think they were allowed to call it bourbon if it wasn’t made in Kentucky but it’s actually delicious.
Bernie Sanders is a God, I tell you! I assume he’s behind it all.
Is this kind of thing your idea of sporting hooliganism?
You can’t tell me you’ve even managed to fuck this up. I was going to post an LOL emoji but I’m too sad.
@jon-nyc it’s astonishing how quickly they mature. We’ve had four sets of robin chicks hatch in our yard this year and secretly watching them go the through the surprisingly fast process was really interesting.
And yes, I’m old and boring now.
@Mik said in So I got served this ad...:
And beer. Don't forget beer.
Beer forces you to get out of your seat and walk regularly, so I consider it a health food.
Speaking truth to power
@Mik said in This week in lawfare:
The Dems should treat it as what it is... ridiculous bullshit. "It's a stupid thing to say and he can't do it anyway. Now let's move on to important issues.". If you ignore a troll they usually quit trolling.
Newsom's response is funnier, and funnier still is right wingers pointing out that he's just copying Trump.
To be fair, travelling 30 miles in Cornwall is like going back 25 years anywhere else.
Maybe it was the brain worm that said it. Or maybe his ventriloquistic bear?
