This is the image of the Republican National Convention which I will never forget.

I'll mark you down as saying YES to the second question.

Gina, I have a hunch that some guys engage in violent fantasies to release stress.

Since Trump wants to provoke violence, I discourage the violent chatter.

The younger person is Kai Trump. She's Qusay or Uday's daughter, I forget which is which.

I'm puzzled. Do you want to participate in a protest and respond to violence by government employees with violence?

Or do you want someone else to jeopardize their safety, health and freedom by engaging in violence?

The point: Bernie Sanders seemingly lost interest in issues which concern Black people after he moved to 90+% white Vermont.

The caricature in your head bears no resemblance to the original. Try learning about people by reading their bios and listening to them instead of fashioning insults.

Fact Check. "...the photo was taken as Sanders was arrested during protests over “Willis wagons,” which were mobile classrooms that were installed to ease overcrowding in black schools."

1960s photo shows Bernie Sanders being arrested for protesting, not racist attack

!!!!!
That was in the 1960s. Shortly thereafter, Bernie moved from Chicago to Vermont which is over 90% white.

Care to name names? And quote those whom you name?

White males sure hate to be called on their BS.

Someone who values the rights and participation of Black people, that's who.

You aren't one of us.

It must be a cult. Members recite the same words and are impervious to facts.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a member of the Democratic Party. He formed a broad coalition which lasted for decades. Black voters switched parties for FDR.

Bernie left NYC & Chicago and moved to Vermont.

Oh man. This piece, this recap and analysis, should be part of every response to every shadow-docket application to the Supreme Court and, eventually, to every response to Trump's illegalities he bases on Mad Hatter fabrications of fact.

Trump told the truth about his life of evil thoughts and deeds, but he lied when he claimed to have done good for a lot of people. He's helped no more than 1% of the US population.

I hope that's not a true story, because then I would be ashamed to have laughed.

Can you guess what my Alabama school taught me about President Grant?

If you guessed that he was a drunk, you are correct.

You are a very poor judge of character.

Elizabeth Potter Graham, JD @elizabethpgraham.bsky.social · 13h

I must have been moronic to have followed you in the past. I shall correct that immediately.

I disagree.

I think that ICE and the National Guard will look ridiculous if they claim to be threatened by cartoon characters and attack them.

Those who are wearing costumes will be as difficult to identify and masked ICE agents are.

I thought this was the point of the costumes.

A man who has refused to join a party has no legitimate complaint when that party does not select him to lead it.
I've found that the people who complain the loudest about "the DNC" have no idea what it is or what its job is. I suspect their true grievance is that there are too many Black women.

I was a child in 1960 but of course read about the fear of papists in the White House later. I thought it was silly until Leonard Leo stacked the Supreme Court with Roman Catholics who believed in imposing Pope Pius 9th's 1869 decision about abortion on all of us.

Justice can fire one of them and make the other one's life a living hell. She will get more reliable information from the SCOTUS custodians.

But the Hatch Act has no criminal penalties. People can be suspended, fired, demoted, etc. but not jailed.

Did we have a choice between Trump and Sanders? I must have been in a coma the last decade.
