True story. The French Revolution that we think of only lasted for 10 months before Robespierre was shot in the jaw and guillotined, screaming, face up. After that, years of retribution followed.

Welp. Now I know what everyone is going on about. If only I could go back one minute to the point right before I didn't.

Fun fact: CNN didn't always exist. There will come a time when it no longer exists. If it doesn't fill an actual need, viewers will replace it with something else. Will that happen overnight? No. Will it happen? It already is.

Not worth going back and forth about, but I think you are looking at both jokes the wrong way. Calling him Lady Lindsey and even Ladybug is mocking him for being a sham, not for being effeminate. And I don't find substituting Hillary funny in the least. Given reality, it is rapey.

The Clinton/Trump joke is homophobic. The laugh isn't in the absurdity; it is in the act and the insult that those two men would engage in it. The Graham jokes, IMO, aren't judging homosexuality but mocking a man who hurts others by pretending to be righteous when he is really a hypocritical coward

To me, the joke about Graham is his hypocrisy.

This is inside-the-beltway nonsense. What expectation did this change? The expectation was that Trump would win and Dems would cave in exchange for nothing. Scared Americans don't give a single fucking damn about "procedure," and Dems' trust in their party is gone. They won't get it back.

I've always been a "blue no matter who" person because the blue has always been the better option in the grand scheme for things like the courts. That has changed.

To say that what I feel for the Democratic Party is utter disgust is an understatement.

I have just been radicalized. I want every sitting Democratic member of Congress to be primaried. Even then, if an independent rises, I will vote for them over a Dem.

My second was also easier. With the first, I felt like all of my bones were breaking. Don't have arthritis, but my joints swelled for weeks. Shingrix uses a unique adjuvant to provoke strong immune reactions in us olds. I figure by the 2nd shot, my immune system was already taking care of things.

My rule is that if you aren't from the state where the election is happening, your armchair opinion does not matter. I really miss when all politics was local.

I know others have different takes, but this must be sad for you. It is hard to watch someone you love disappear into a cult. I have no idea if she has done it cynically or because she is a true believer.

So, people who think she weaponizes and manufactures grievance to punch down are "a mob"? You sound like Trump. Also, I seem to have missed the hysteria. Disgust? Yes. Disappointment? Yes. Hysteria? You are making that up.

All this will achieve for these goons is having more clergy visibly on the frontlines. See: Selma. I'm sure images of them firing rubber bullets and beating up nuns will be a big support winner for them.
