It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

Wow.

Not at all surprising, but wow.

Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

I read a *lot*

I also listen to a ton of audiobooks on my commute.

Claiming that audiobooks aren’t “reading” is nonsense - you go on the same adventures, you learn the same things.

Listen to Scott Brick, Jim Dale, Kate Reading, or Michael Kramer — the experience is transcendent.
::Sigh:: Once more for the people in the back. If audiobooks don’t count as reading, then braille isn’t reading either. Stop gatekeeping literacy.

I think every Korean I've spoken to has been puzzled by the notion that Americans are impressed with their swift reaction to the martial law declaration. The past week represents a backslide into the bad old days and some extremely difficult times ahead, in an already economically miserable time.

Right-wingers are not coming to this platform for any reason other than to be obnoxious trolls to people who just want to be left alone. They are not here for any useful or constructive purpose. They only want to tear down and insult. It’s all they know. It’s how they live.
