Easy Answer: Here she is lionized by the left and only verbally attacked by those who think she's full of crap. She goes there and she'd be "rendered silent" about 5 minutes after touchdown.

More people died from drug overdoses in 2017 than guns, murders, or car accidents
More people died from drug overdoses in 2017 than guns, murders, or car accidents
More than 72,000 people died from drug overdoses in 2017, according to the NIH — about 200 per day. That number is more than four times the number who died in 1999 from drug abuse: 16,849. The figures are up about 15 percent from 63,632 drug-related deaths in 2016.
Since 2011, more people have died from drug overdoses than by gun violence, car accidents, suicide, or homicide, the DEA report stated.
In 2017, 40,100 people died in vehicle incidents; 15,549 were fatally shot, not including suicide; 17,284 were homicide victims, though an unspecified portion of this number includes gunshot victims; and nearly 45,000 committed suicide.

Hmmm....
"Gun violence is killing too many people. We need to ban guns."
"Drug use is killing too many people. We need to legalize drugs and make sure people can use them safely."

"Comedians" shouldn't laugh at their own "jokes".
That show hasn't been funny in 30 years.
Mostly agree. I'd say about 25 years. The Farley, Phil Hartman, etc., years were pretty dang funny. Not since, though.
Suddenly the world makes sense again.They broke up. About one week ago. Did you miss last week's People magazine?

The correct answer to this is "I haven't stood in any grocery checkout lines in the last couple of weeks."
The line itself might be funny but his dismissive attitude about man who went in harm's way 5 times was disgusting.
Props to Dan for handling it in a classy way.
Republican Texas congressional candidate Dan Crenshaw called on “Saturday Night Live” and Pete Davidson to donate $1 million to charity after Davidson cracked an insensitive joke about Crenshaw’s war injuries.

It's not about political correctness, rather entitlement... and I wish I could find the link. I was listening to someone talk about an article in Vox written by a millennial who was from Georgia but had moved to Tennessee, and was trying to vote. His claim was that he now knew how it felt to be a disenfranchised voter, as they had refused to allow him to vote despite an ID, proof of his address, and a drivers license.
During this article, we learn that:
He is a young man who has just been married, and who is now living with his parents.
His ID is a Georgia driver's license. He says that getting a new license in his new home state would cause them to "incur a financial burden" or something along those lines, as would paying for the registration in his new home state.
He also did not want to change his vehicle registration because it would impact his auto insurance.
So to recap, deadbeat living with parents, committing insurance fraud and refusing to pay his fair share of taxes in his new state, and he's upset that he's not allowed to vote.
We are screwed...

Now HERE is some dumb PC stuff form Vox:
If election day was moved to Sunday and all other extended voting periods were removed, I'd get behind the effort to make it happen.
I read an article about an 82 year old Texas woman who voted for the first time, then passed away 2 days later. Her granddaughter dragged her to the voting precinct, with a full on oxygen tank in a wheelchair. Evidently the reason she had never voted before was because she got confused and didn't understand the issues.
I wonder who her granddaughter told her to vote for?
Was it worth it to put your grandmother through that ordeal to vote for Beto?
I would feel guilty for a long time.

Probably a highly contested school board position.

I love these inevitable battles caused by virtue signaling among lefties
Here we have a white, former actress turned activist announcing her personal boycott of the so-called "Women's March" unless it first gets rid of the Palestinian-American woman and African-American woman who founded it, or until they recite from the script she demands.

Actually good for her. She's been getting hammered about this from what I can see, and maybe some of that finally opened her eyes to at least ONE aspect of the hypocrisy. Or maybe it's politically convenient. Either way, she's absolutely right, and the MeToo folks have been ignoring it for way too long.
She about to learn a very eye-opening lesson about her own team, though. Entitled white actress gets tossed aside when she decides to push back on someone with a higher Grievance Score index.

After they either kill us all or send us to work camps, they will then turn on each other. It is as inevitable as the march of time.

The question is, will granny somehow vote again in the next election? Democrats are like zombies, they've been known to rise from the grave to vote.
