To be fair they are too ignorant to recognize the historical resonance.
There's no better way to observe MLK Day than to go on the news and insist that the civil rights protesters objecting to police brutality are actually "paid agitators"
Rep. Byron Donalds: "These agitators -- who by the way are paid, folks. America, they are paid to do this kind of mess."

NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

Blanche is a Made Man in mafia terminology. He does what he's told, and what he thinks the Boss wants. In exchange he has his position and income. He expect the benefits of his vassalage to continue, ad hopes he'll strike it rich some time.
Can someone explain to me what Todd Blanche hopes to get out of this in the end? Like, I get that JD and Marco think they might get to be president. Miller gets to live out his psychopathic fantasy. But Blanche…? This is his peak. Is it to be AG when Trump fires Bondi? Like what is his point
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

Many Americans are terrible neighbors to each other, and that is why MN is striking everyone as extraordinary activism... when they are telling us that it is not. They're good neighbors!
It's no wonder that "being a shitty neighbor" is the hallmark of our domestic politics and our foreign policy.

I assure you if Kamala Harris won we would not be threatening to go to war with NATO over Greenland, so next time someone mentions the lesser of two evils understand THIS SHIT IS THE CONSEQUENCE of letting the worse of two evils win. Act accordingly next time.
