One side thinks only some of the pedophiles should be thrown into a well. The other side thinks that justice be done, though the heavens fall.
This isn't even political any more - if child r@p3 can be excused or bothsides, then our country doesn't deserve to survive.

It feels awful, but if we want to get out of this bullshit we might have to show more grace than we want to. Should they get a good ass whoopin'? In an ideal world, yeah.

My dad watched so much Fox that the emblem is literally burned into the right bottom corner - if you change the channel, you still see it.
But he switched to OANN because Fox got too liberal.
If he turned on Trump, I might collapse of shock 🤣

Besides being a comedy sketch, it's a good thing to talk about. We need to give people space and grace to change their minds. Yelling at people is more likely to keep them on that side.

I was clenching the entire game. IU did not feel like the best team on the field, but we caught the punt block and some other breaks.
Miami mauled us all night on both lines. Very lucky to walk away.

I hate saying this, but the Democratic Party needs a Mitch McConnell figure to herd the cats.
The Republicans wielded more power as a minority than Schumer and the Dems did as a majority.

Clockwork Orange is a movie you feel obliged to watch because it's a "classic", then never watch again because it feels so viscerally awful to watch. And the morale, if there is one, gets lost in the constant march of shock for shock's sake.

At least Lucy let Charlie kick the football once.
This is why Dems constantly lose - they resign before the fight is even done. The idea that some useless performative vote is a "victory" is wildly delusional.

I went through my angry atheist phase in college, where anyone believing in God was illogical, immoral, all that dumb shit.
My only concern now is whether people are doing goodness or not, and if they're using a god to get to that goodness, fantastic.
