Yesterday in my newspaper I saw a young British woman dressed lol in one of these latest fashion 'string bikinis'.

Which pretty much tells us about your taste in "news" papers.

Sunday Telegraph.
Nothing wrong with the newspaper.
How can one take their family to the beach when confronted by string swimwear.

Why is string swimwear a problem at the beach, but not in the paper?

Or are you suggesting it is okay for you to go to the beach, just not your family?

You think it's a problem for Mrs. Bambi to see such women?!

Separate from my other comment is this: The shooter had 6 seconds before the Church security team took him down. The only reason it was only two deaths (plus shooter) is that he was using a shotgun, not a semi-automatic rifle. It could easily have been 5 had the man had an AR-15 or far worse had he had a bump stock.

He also may have been targeting the 2nd victim.

Either way, the churchgoers got lucky, except for those first two.

6 seconds is way too long.

Infectious diseases spreading, factory and farm closures, concentration camps, hate groups, and mass shootings - the hallmarks of a republican administration, accentuated and accelerated by the imposter presidency of donald trump, soon may it come to an end.

I almost forgot the graft and gaslighting.

Trump can’t be circumcised because there’s no end to the prick.

Is someone you should still listen to when it comes to morality, decency, spirituality, efficacy, security, policy, and politics.

Has at all times been greater than the sum of republicans all taken together.

You might be too big of a scumbag to post about Rep. Lewis at all in any context.

I checked. You are. Get his name outcha mouth, you miserable piece of shit.

Greg Abbott checks his box in the too-little-too-late column with half of the thoughts and prayers insult. Since he knows he’s fucked if more Texans start having thoughts, he asks only that they send prayers.

Trump has one of the most spited faces of all time. It’s a wonder he has any nose left at all.

What needs to be done about anti-semitism, in one writer's eyes.

I find it very discouraging.

Thoughts?

Anti-Semitism seems to be one of the sad and tragic symptoms of a general regression, in a society, towards tribalism and towards an information poverty where the ignorant can be fed a bunch of myths about "the other."  Once these myths catch on the emotional gears of a person who needs a place to dump social blame, you get entrenched prejudice and marching morons shouting "Jews will not replace us!"  You have to be almost pathologically information-poor to conceive of a small ethnic/religious minority (what, somewhere between 1-2 percent of the US population?) as on the verge of replacing you.  I'm not even sure what that phrase means, beyond a sort of vague phobic response to someone else's success.  Nor do I fully understand why Jewish wealth = conspiracy and global Marxism, while white Christian wealth (e.g. Buffett) = philanthropy and the splendor of free market economics.  It seems so deeply irrational that it's hard for me to understand how any sane person could arrive at such prejudices.  But, as I've said, if you have a vacuum in your head then just about anything can rush in to fill it.

There’s something otherworldly happening in Canada’s Arctic as the warming climate burns forests, disrupts animal migration and makes sea ice disappear. “The ground is moving,” says Paul Overduin, a senior scientist at Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute for polar and marine research, describing a recent trip to Yukon. “The permafrost is thawing out to a degree where the ground just becomes more mobile, and you see complete valleys on the move, and mudslides, and what look like craters appearing on the surface of the earth.”
