Loves the US enough to criticize its massive failures and flaws. Do better, America.
From The Guardian. These ten Democrats chose “propriety” over defense of our democracy and maintaining party unity by stabbing one of their own in the back. They should be opposed in the next primary. Weak and pathetic!

Police reform has just died at the US Department of “Justice.” This is how a dictator makes it possible for bad police to stay on the job. How does this improve the price of eggs?!

A bold idea for California. Trump says states should take care of themselves in a natural disaster. Ok… let’s go with that. I suggest you withhold the dollars you would have sent to the federal government and use those funds to help your people first. And call it “states rights.” You’re welcome.

White America: Homework. Find family members who came to the US without a visa or papers… but who passed on birthright citizenship to you. Why end birthright now? MAGA hates brown people becoming citizens. This move is plainly about “American as apple pie” RACISM.

A Nazi is a Nazi is a Nazi… the point is to bring it out in the open so when we see the next one from him, people will salute him back. This is how MAGA will display its Nazi core and expect the same from you.

This is classic media “both sides ism.” There is a verifiable reality as to how many people with a similar crime receive a similar sentence. It can be compared to others in an objective way without simply throwing up your hands and saying it depends on who you ask. Fail.

Unpopular opinion: Democrats bear significant responsibility for the extreme rightward shift of the GOP. By not punishing bad behavior, they failed the basic school yard lesson of Tit for Tat as a strategy. Dems! Time for Tit for Tat as long term approach.
