He knows jack shit about dancing too...so why the fuck is he building a ballroom?

Of course! We must also all recognize that any of this is fruitless and impotent unless none are excluded. Selective "justice" is just a mirage; not a stand for principle, but one of favoritism.

When they work so hard at making such distinctions... she's post pubescent, so she's a woman...you know for certain that they are guilty.

Now that is genuinely funny! 🤣

I don't know, I would say they are cynical about anyone who doesn't look like them...or about anything, including general science, that might be contrary to their preconceptions or beliefs.

We already have such a term...MAGA...

And how are you going to bring that about?
Your premise is just plain wrong.
Authoritarianism "succeeds" often by plain force...or, in our case...by a many decades long plan to subvert and pervert our already weak institutions.

And, while we're at it...why don't we just do that for everybody?
Or, is cruelty an essential part of the american dream, we cannot be happy unless others suffer?

Awww...
Happy, happy birthday, Hyapatia!
It is remembrance day here in Canada and this is now something I will always remember in years to come, many of which I wish for you to have in health and happiness and joy!!!

Nothing less than a signed confession...sort of the original Trump...

Great video! It is hard to bear what you've been through, but you've said what needs to be said, what needs to be repeated and shouted to the high heavens. Too often we all just accept the unacceptable..and that needs to stop!

Thank you for being a champion, a warrior, a shining light for us all!

Well, yes, of course...that and many others that they are beholden to.
I was addressing their "rationale" that I listened to when they spoke last night...that the policy argument had been made and that continuing the shut down would only hurt people.
Sadly, Americans don't care much about debate...

Without the filibuster, republicans would have no way to assert democratic complicity in their legislative terrorism. Why we would want to keep it is beyond all reason.

Yes...but...this will eventually have to happen anyways...the longer they remain out of session, the more ridiculous they look. And don't expect the Epstein files to be manna from heaven...they've had lots of time to scrub them clean.
Stand firm or make way for those that will!
