The number of times the current GOP uses the phrase "It was a joke" or "he was only joking" one would think they are working harder on honing their "tight 5 minutes" rather than any actual governance.
But it is hard to tell, because they are seemingly incapable of either.

So, the argument is, once elected, you are exempt, not only from the law, but from basic human decency?
Cheating isn't strength.
Ignoring the law is not proof of your intellectual superiority.
These are children masquerading as responsible adults.
Treat them as such.

The fact these idiots are wearing green camouflage in the middle of a Minnesota winter tells you pretty much all you need to know about their competence and training.
I fear too many of these individuals are just itching for a chance to use their gun on a fellow human being.

I really hope someone can ID this individual quickly.
The lack of consequences has led to this kind of behavior, and it is a trend that needs to be reversed sooner rather than later.

According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle.
This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.

Are you furious?
Good.
I am, too.
You know why?
Bc unrelenting gaslighting plus normalization of authoritarian behavior should and would make any sane person furious.
So, my fellow sane citizens, know that you are in good company.

A teacher of mine did her thesis on how you could track the average prevailing wind directions in any US city by looking at where the affluent neighborhoods were located in relations to the lower income communities.
Made sense and the data supported the theory, the rich live upwind.

Thank goodness for Pete that you can't sprain your neck blowing yourself metaphorically.

Is it irony that so many in the current administration and Congress are more in love with their position than they are their power?
This could all be put to an end if it weren't the for craven cowardice of those who keep lecturing us on "strength."
And that part is definitely irony.

When I first saw Lord of the Rings, I thought it was odd that Mordor was a gated community.
Then my girlfriend pointed out that it probably means they have an HOA...and the whole story made WAY more sense.

One thing about being the "Good Guys" is that, like being a "Ladies Man", if you are spending time trying to convince people you are one, you are probably full of sh!t.

Trump claiming he is going to run Venezuela considering the current state of the United States reminds me of that guy who won't put money into his wife's car which barely runs but then buys on an old Camaro body with no engine which he keeps in his front yard because he is going to "fix it up."
Q: What's your response to voters who voted for you who are worried about a forever war in Venezuela?
TRUMP: The voters who voted for me are thrilled. The said, this is what we voted for

The only thing "taken in" are the people who still don't get how tariffs work.

Just because you are white, it does not follow that you are one of the people who "created the modern world."
The same people who tell others descended from slaves to "get over it, that was a long time ago" still take want to take credit for things done by someone else almost 100 years ago.

For many in our nation, profit has become the greatest virtue. No matter how bad your actions are, they are viewed through the lens of the "bottom line."
Sociopaths who put wealth before well-being of humans have been enabled for 40 years now, and people still ask "how did we get here?"

The wealthy are always so GD worried some poor people are gonna commit some small time fraud. Meanwhile, big corporations are committing HUGE afraid. Just look at defense contractors.
Why? Because we have all been taught to see the wealthy as virtuous and to see the poor as lazy and unworthy.
