I am British and grumpy. Tories, Brexit and most other things make me grumpy. I am a ridiculous blue rectangle in a silly green hat and I demand that you take me seriously!

I represent dozens (yes, dozens) of people raped by guards in the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
It sure would be nice if DOJ gave a tenth as much of a shit when it comes to compensating them.

NEW: DOJ has been in settlement talks with Michael Flynn -- Trump's first national security adviser seeking $50M for his prosecution by ex-special counsel Robert Mueller -- and Stefan Passantino, a Trump I White House lawyer who accused the House Jan. 6 committee of privacy violations

Is the US Government suing the BBC in Florida, which is clearly not where any of this happened? Or is Trump suing personally, in Florida?

Hank makes several important points here but here's one more:
If we are getting angry at things that aren't real then that distracts us from things that are real and which we should be angry about and demanding action on.

In an ideal society the leaders would be the wisest and most virtuous of people.
In a less than ideal society they would be chosen more or less at random, as by chance.
In our actual society, they are... well I'm not sure exactly how to describe it, but let's just say we are "totally fucked".

this is true but it goes even deeper than this, it’s not that they ‘don’t care’ about their kid, it’s they don’t care about their autonomany and only view their children as property and want to control them. its why we see the modern lavender panic, fears of “kids being transed”, from the far right
One of the things that's very difficult to really take to heart about MAGA conservatives is that you can't get them on hypocrisy about their children because they really don't give a fuck about their kids
Everyone who posts this should note that Megyn Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter. Do not let her off the hook on this.
