FCC: instead of going after the guys who hurt your boss' fee-fees, why not fine the networks for carrying him live? Everyone knows that in his advanced dementia, your boss can't help but swear and that language shouldn't be in when children can hear it.
And he's an adjudicated rapist!

Why is serving on a jury a duty but voting is a right?
Make elections compulsory and everyone gets to vote. That's what democracy means.

Two loudmouthed old guys tried a stupid argument against a guy who said he wanted the job so he could help people instead of partying.

Omg, Chuck Schumer, shut the fuck up and get a fucking clue.
Endorse Zohran. Don't pick sides in primaries, like you're doing against Graham Platner in Maine and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.
The establishment has only gotten us loss after loss. Let the people choose their leadership.

People who fondly endorse American slavery these days always seem quite reluctant to be enslaved.
Why is that? If slavery was a valid activity, why isn't it good enough for them?

But you shouldn't be too surprised when they say stuff like this:
"You were better off being a Black person in Charleston, S.C., in 1850, when they had an operating slave market than being conceived as a Black baby in New York City or Baltimore today."

I do not trust any kind of religious fundamentalist. What kind of insanity drives this?
Yeah, this was in Dallas in the late 90s, but we had 4 armed men come in with real unloaded guns, and take a few of us aside. Said they were here to kill believers, and asked if we were believers. After we all said "Yes", they unmasked themselves as dads from church.

Hey @npr.org and WJCT - Thomas Jefferson didn't have a "controversial relationship with his slave Sally Hemmings". He abused, raped, and trafficked the teenage half-sister of his dead wife and then enslaved their children.
