If we somehow manage to escape this autocratic nightmare, what are the chances those responsible for this rampant criminality will be held accountable? Anyone? Anyone? Buehler?

If, say, Louis Farrakhan was brutally murdered, I hope we would all condemn the murder.
But I am pretty sure Republicans wouldn’t be celebrating his life and legacy and insisting no one criticize anything he ever said or did.

No FAFO comment from me. I’m glad some folks admit voting for Trump was a mistake, but if that doesn’t come with “I should’ve voted for Kamala Harris,” it’s not complete.
We don’t need more non-voters. You have to choose a side or you’re complicit in the outcome.

They've had a hard-on for social benefits since they were created here almost 100 years ago. They've only been pissed about a black man getting elected president since 2008, and the racial un-reckoning, DEI-ing and voting rights denying are in full effect. Social Security is next if we don't act.

One of the reasons I kick out a few $ to Wikipedia each year is gems like this. The last sentence reads:
"The mania affected adults and children who danced until, allegedly, they collapsed from exhaustion and injuries, and sometimes died."

I'm gonna go with protest. And playing "Fortunate Son" by CCR during the "festivities" could not have been just a fuck-up by some millenial staffer.
This had to be either an intentional F-up in protest or bad actors who had no idea how to march in lockstep. Did the $40 million include pay for these terrible actors?

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.
