True story. The gold is reminiscent of Saddam Hussein, definitely not befitting this house which when you get right down to it is THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE not this d-bag's

As Howard Zinn said, the world is fucking topsy-turvy. OK that's paraphrasing him :)

It always struck me as weird that we give them cash and they take the cash to the hive. I mean, are people really that honest when you think about it?

We have to accept what is in the files, and we have to get the truth. It may tar and feather a lot of men, but frankly men have been ruining this country, so if they ruined girls' lives, I say hang 'em high.

I'm with you. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Why the heck is pedophilia so ascendant now? Human trafficking? Shamelessly feathering one's own nest? I have been reading about John Adams and I swear he would think he was on Mars if he were to come back now...

Oh yeah um I need to take a few days off to do that as well, thanks for the reminder. 🙃

You can't cast a net this wide and indiscriminately and not catch a BUNCH of innocent folks. We don't need to deport workers, we need to let them alone. It's basically a misdemeanor that helps our country function financially. Criminals I'm fine with--but FELONS. And never to 3rd countries.

Ya that Nazi salute, it was astonishingly anachronistic and of course, repugnant.

This is likely to turn out to be simple murder, and we must have justice. We can't keep spurning the ideals on which this country was founded (kind of) and extolled during periods of major challenge (WWII) or change (Civil Rights).

You're painting with very broad strokes here, but I totally get your point and find it to ring true

I am flummoxed as to how that insurrection is thought of as anything but ignominious.

It's not easy to be hyperbolic when describing this kind of shit. It seems straight-up fascistic to me.
