3. "PROFITABLE TRAGEDIES" - Best comment!

"PROFITABLE TRAGEDIES" - Best comment!

The NRA and gun industry agenda favors/appreciates such mass shootings.

Their stock and sales go up.

Gun sales decreased after Trump was elected.

4. Wow. That flow chart is scary accurate

Now all we need is a sensible, not-crazy counter flowchart to work from. And forty years, and the profits from a multi billion dollar industry, and enough politicians bought off to hire enough not-crazy judges, and propagandists as good as the NRA’s. I would say a university and think tank designed specifically to counter “originalist” bullshit, but then I remembered that the opposite of Scalia’s judicial philosophy is literally any consistent legal philosophy, since he/they’re just making it all up as they go along so they can get what they want politically.

Now that I think about it, that would be a pretty good way to vet a judicial appointment: take one of Scalia’s dumber decisions, but one with plenty of purple prose to make it SEEM legit to stupid and/or unalterably biased people, and have them explain it, followed by their own opinion. If they support it, they’re clearly unqualified, as they’re obviously either dumb or can’t separate their personal biases to a significant extent.

Man oh man, Scalia was the worst, wasn't he?

24. They're all too sad....

to be funny. "Cartoons" doesn't seem to be the correct word this week. "Realizations" would be more apropos.
