This borders on the absurd, if not the obscene:

"Because you attacked Venezuala, here's a Peace Price that you didn't earn."

Can the Norwegian Nobel Committee could revoke the award with prejudice? Their rules prohibit it.

Fine. Put a * next to her name.

Yep - this:
So where are the Proud Boys and patriots, the whole Don't Tread On Me crowd dead set against government overreach. Why aren't they on the streets protesting about government interference, willing to fight and die for it? All I see is dozens and dozens of ICE agents.

Oh.

Oh, right.

10 years since we lost Jeff Martell of Northampton, MA.
Still remembering his music.
Wonder if anyone else does?

From a news report:

"Officials said an ICE officer who was "fearing for his life" fired "defensive shots" to save himself and his officers, killing the woman."

A firearm is NOT a defensive device.
A firearm by its nature is offensive.
It does not protect the bearer.
It can only hurt/kill a target.

"Thanks for your prompt attention to this matter" assumes superiority over the reader, and is offensive on its face.

It also tags you as a #47 sycophant: If that's why you use it, kindly fuck off.

Use instead:
"I appreciate your assistance", or "thanks for the help with this", or simply, "thanks."

If midterm elections are called for GOP candidates, in spite of exit polling that indicate a Democrat win, then the "great experiment" will have failed, and this nation is lost.

Will that be enough to convice blue states to secede?

Some say the 14th amendment is limited to its historic intent: to address the citizenship of freed slaves.

So the 2nd Amendment should also be limited to its historical context: muskets and dueling pistols? And 1A, to printed media?

Do you really wanna go down this road?

@theatlantic.com is right:

Sen. Mark Kelley should be SecDef.

FAR more qualified than the current occupant of the office.

Nothin' but respect, Senator.

POTUS' turnaround on the Epstein files simply means that his lackeys have finished the job of whitewashing them - sanitized for his own protection, and that of his allies.

ANYONE who thinks that we're going to see the full and unvarnished truth is fooling themselves.

What the hell is with Steve Inskeep? Feeding GOP talking points to Rep Mike Lawlor, who responded with an assent?

@npr.org needs to start lining up journalists willing and ready to question authority, challenge their interviewees, and stop parroting propaganda.

I’ve got Fox News for that swill.
