Yeah you can attack it on the substance because it seriously mis-evaluates any number of premises, but come on, it's a "proof" where step 2 is just making up a number.

The two suffrage movements were deeply intertwined throughout that period. Even John Brown espoused women's rights (although apparently he was patriarchal at home). Suffrage for women was a more radical challenge to the social order than suffrage to black men. It had a lot to do with the social unrest that caused the first two world wars. The Christian churches pushed back against it hard, just as the Islamic churches do now, and the remnant of the feudal aristocratic order pushed back against any amplification of personal freedoms. One of the very threatening aspects of the communist movement was its advocacy of full rights for women.

7 better worlds could be a mere 40 light-years away. On at least one of these planets, Donald Trump is not president

No offense, but that's a really stupid ****ing question.

We know the fact of historical timeline, but is it generally accepted fact that there was a preference like this? Citation?

The power of "almost mathematical proof"! In my response, I "almost" mathematically proved 3 = 4.

quality; deserves love

There's also some speculation that they worried about risking exposure of Trump's tax records.

Wow.

That makes me ****ing sick.

Move over Florida and Mississippi, here comes Arizona.

Precogs ldo

How lonG before Trump/Bannon set their sights on small business owners who employ immigrants and people that provide housing for them?

i mean that AZ legislation seems like it would be unconstitutional as ****, and most likely overturned in courts if it was actually passed and signed by the governor, but jesus christ. trying to stamp out peaceful protest is just as scary and just as much a threat to the republic as calling the press the enemy. i just cant believe that republicans are on board with this ****. like, i can believe it, but i can't. these people are just awful

it just baffles me how people can hate freedom so much. wtf?

like, i would ALWAYS go to bat for the tea party's right to exist and hold rallies/protests. mother****ing KKK has rallies like once or twice a month at the ****in state capitol downtown like 8 mins down the road from me, and i'm not trying to have them arrested for being racist. i mean wtf

But the Republican party is the party of freedom...right?

I mean, is this really that much of a departure at this point? These people have been feed the idea that the media is evil and lying to them to sell a liberal conspiracy for 20+ years. Even their most legitimate source, Fox News, works on this concept and a lot of lies and badly sourced stories constantly. They aren't being taught the proper value of civics and a free press, and they probably never quite got that in school either. It's kind of a tough abstract concept to teach and to pick up on. But you've got people like Alex Jones, Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Donald Trump using their huge media platforms to denounce and de-legitimize the mainstream press constantly, it's really just surprising that it took this long for some state legislatures to turn openly anti-first amendment.

I wonder where the extreme free speech advocates like the Milo fans will fall on this one.

Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, said the new criminal laws are necessary.
“I have been heartsick with what’s been going on in our country, what young people are being encouraged to do,’’ she said.

R's are terrified of democracy

Not to mention that the concept of one-person one-vote is something they are dead-set against at any and all costs. We need to abolish the Electoral College, abolish gerrymandering, and have real proportional representation in all three branches in this country. But nothing will get more pushback from a Republican. We're finding out that the U.S. is only a "democracy" insofar as our customs and traditions and checks and balances work to make it so.

The comments, as usual, have some horrible content, but it's more than just the usual racism and trolling.

There's no chance these two idiots are coming up with this independently. Some where on right wing media they are calling for government censorship of these stories and using this "weoponized text" phrase.

Ok, I couldn't just post that without searching.

Assange and Breitbart for one.

New catchphrase seems to be "repair Obamacare". This will probably be the go-to phrase for scared Republicans facing angry town hall crowds.

The whole thing is so annoying because it is obvious to anyone with a brain what the solution is to universal coverage, covering pre-existing conditions, taking coverage across state lines, covering kids up to 26, etc. It's called single-payer national healthcare. There is little doubt we will end up there eventually, because it's the only real solution. But look at all the suffering being caused in the meantime.

Republicans think liberals are trying to steal stuff away from them.

You know, like those dirty foreigners stealing their jerbs.

Can somebody produce a pay stub from one of these "professional" protesters? I could use some part-time work and protesting is perfect for me. Can someone direct me to the "get paid for protesting" website? That Arizona story is so ridiculous. Its against freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. No way should that stand up against a challenge. But first there would probably have to be a test case of some sort. Its true that these Republicans would gladly shred the constitution they claim to love so much.

Yea it's disgusting. I was texting one of my friends last night about it. She said "Well, she shouldn't have been here in the first place." I said "Nice to see your compassion." I haven't heard back since. LOL.
