  1. Slight aside: I've had a similar conversation with my 20-something daughter about ACAB. I know that acronym is great for spray painting and all where nuance isn't possible, but it's untrue and unhelpful. Why would a good person choose to be a cop, or politician, if your decency and actions are carelessly lumped in with bad actors? I'd tolerate Most Cops Are Bastards much better. Absolute statements should always give you pause.
  2. Who's shifting accountability? Trump didn't arise in a vacuum. An Outsider was attractive to so many in part because of inaccurate, lazy tropes that ALL politicians are bad.
  3. That sort of thinking is what begets a Donald Trump.
  4. Yeah being Eskimo Bros with Don Jr doesn't bode well.
  5. And I'm tired of people of equivocating between parties with both sides garbage. One side is systemically obstructionist whether it be impeachment inquiries or actually improving access health care. One side undermines democracy on the reg. Dems are imperfect to be sure. but their faults are orders of magnitude less threatening to our nation's well being at present. You tell me how the Dems can work in good faith with Mr. 'it's too close to the election to confirm Merrick Garland' McConnell.
  6. Hearing the Stable Genius call other people dumb never fails to make me chuckle.
  7. Chachi needs Tchotchkes! And here we thought Joni was the Moran. //Fresh Happy Days jokes
  8. Why should the next 6-8 weeks be any different? Giving an inhinged insufferable twat a megaphone and the nuke codes is the surest way to return America to greatness, obviously.
  9. You think maybe it's ok to dip below hypervigilance briefly and here come the Republicans. To paraphrase Sean Adams, keep trying to do the right thing because bad people don't take a day off.
  10. If not a pledge of allegiance, we need at least need a national safe word.
  11. How soon until Fauci resigns to head Biden's covid taskforce? Not a cabinet position but a critical one, especially when unconstrained by Trump's narrow self-interest. It'll be so refreshing to hear public health experts speaking freely again.
  12. I hope to forgive. I hope not to forget. Republicans must reckon with the profane horror that is Trump. You own it eternally. There's no escaping that unless you manufacture and reside in an alternate reality. Sigh. To be fair we all own it. I am part of an American people who elected Donald Trump. That stain isn't going away overnight. Grace is needed eventually.
