Dirty Dancing, not as much because Patrick Swayze is so sexy in it, although he was. It’s more because the movie addresses the “haves” & “have nots” class wars we still have going in the US.

After WWII we had trials in Nuremberg & held Nazis accountable for crimes against humanity. When the fascist regime in the US ends we will hold trials to hold ICE & this cabinet accountable for crimes against humanity. “I was following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg and it won’t be now.

The mad king’s only thought is is increasing his power and enriching his bank account. Human life holds no value to him.

This sounds like a SNL skit.

I never imaged I could agree with MTG on anything and now we have two issues in a row. We truly live in the oddest of times.

That’s so weird, the ride is slow & would only be scary to a small child. I say that as a big chicken who is now too old to handle fast rollercoaster rides.

These are evil acts on the part of an evil regime and that would be equally true if the man attacked was an atheist.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

I do not have any power to make anything happen, however as an observer of history I do feel confident this will be the case.

In the real world violent extremists are almost always far right with very few exceptions. This is their desperate attempt to project their own mentality onto the other side.

California is probably the most topographically diverse state in the Union. We have it all; mountains with ski slopes, forests, beaches and yes miles & miles of desert. There are many locations that look exactly like that.
