Slave-owner mentality permeates MAGA.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Prayers for government meetings should be unconstitutional. I wonder if they really are.

Ms. Bondi, you are such a piece of shit.

No more questions.

ICE spotting app has been curtailed by Apple on governmental request, and by Google by obeying in advance.

Apple and Google are part of the plutocracy, traitors to America.

Google revoked the Don't Be Evil banner long ago.

Traitors!

Big Tech is part of the oppression.

Monopolists all.

How come it was the Renaissance that had to "invent" perspective?

Great picture.

Mansplaining.

Who's the stupid one here?

The whole idea of non-discrimination is to give a fair competition between retro-white males like Mike and Puerto Rican-Americans like AOC.

She is really smart, and truthful, eloquent.

Mike? Dumbass POS. White southern male.

Let's decide.

And each time, it was others who were hurt, and he managed to benefit - claimed losses that others incurred and thus paid no taxes!

Shyster. Biggest American con ever.

AOC Just mocked Trump’s ignorant attempts at fascism.

Ricky - great summary.

You have the gift.

Republican fix is, I believe, defund health care by $1 trillion. What's the theory? Exclude the "undeserving" from care, so that it will be easier for the "deserving" to get care, somehow?

Concepts of ideas, Mike?

He's so sincere, I guess he's not consciously lying, he's just stupid.

Sounds perilously close to civil war - one state's troops attack another's populace.

Invites counter-force, if not official, then informally arranged. Is this the purpose of the 2nd amendment, to allow citizens and states to defend themselves?

Beautiful.

Sounds like Mike Johnson is advocating Federal guaranteed jobs. Did I misunderstand?

Dems need new organization, end gerontocracy. How to do that? Younger, more aggressive dems must seize power of the party - it won't be given to them. Turn oldsters into the back benches.

I don't agree that we are on downward spiral, necessarily. It comes from choices, and new choices can clean us up, reverse income inequality, clean energy, use tech wisely. But that presupposes emergence of new political forces.

Watching All that Jazz, where Joe has cardiac problems. It was 1979 - he's hospitalized for a long time with no intervention - because none was available. Today, it would be so different.

You like your fascism hot or cold?

A significant number of blacks and browns voted for this. Think that support will continue?

Not really "people," Ricky. It was decided by Merrick Garland, major miscreant, damn him to hell.
