You are so right.
That's a good phonetic Southern accent. I could hear it.

It is.
The wretched, bloodthirsty sickness that thrives on killing was a feature of the Nazi's, too.

Makes me wonder if this is a function of upbringing and community norms, or if MAGA has some unique genetic identifier that makes them all unrepentant monsters.

Haven't seen her so well described in quite a spell.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT. This whole country is sleepwalking into fear and apathy.

In a culture breaking down along adversarial lines with even violence an option now on the table, simple common sense will become subjective and a sense of trespass no longer addressable within rule of law.

Yes you are in a better place than we are at the moment. Much of our law-and-order has always relied on community standards, mutual respect, the "do unto others as you'd have them do unto you" and all that. We are in MAGA social anarchy now. None of the old rules apply with no means to enforce them.

We're at the point now where outspoken Governors will be taken into custody. Walz has to watch his step.

Trump and Co. are realizing the people remain standing down, even in murder. Trump is the law now. The people are all he has left to fear.

Yes, Mr. Morison, thanks. Like you we also have carve outs for hate speech going back to the "crying Fire in a crowded theatre" (when there is no fire). Free speech has always had limits here, untrue defamation is another. But the appeal of a government deciding what is true is too Orwellian for me.

Well said.
Just a reminder, we have 100 million young people between the ages of 18 and 39.

When you are ready to go to Washington en masse like generations before you, you can take this guy and we can all get on with the important business of fixing all that this regime has broken.

Whenever you're ready.

Ours is the only generation that remembers milk from farms in metal cans and now has all collected human knowledge in our pockets. And like our parents before us, we rose to the occasion when it was our time to be responsible.

Happy Birthday Ms. Pettit. 77

Iran deserves a reboot. Let's hope the people this time have it in them.

Teri Goodson you know perfectly well I have long advocated surrounding Mar-a-Lago and occupying Washington until it drives the GOP out of town and Donald into hiding. Just one in ten young people and it's done.

Young people always forge the future. They are forging it right now by doing nothing.

You know what I've suggested all along and you know it would be effective, too. You know it does not involve killing anyone.

You also know those to do this are dispassionate and too detached from reality to leave their house. But don't pretend that you don't know what will resolve this. You know.
January 7, 2026 at 4:17 PM
Hopeless, actually.
January 7, 2026 at 3:51 PM
He's killing people, Teri, middle fingers to your rules, and you think legal process is the response. Good lord.

Call of Doody

I don't think so, Teri.
That was 10 months ago.
We are way past procedures and rule books now.
The mob boss is in session and Donald Trump will do as he pleases.
