I show no tolerance for the intolerant.
Fascists cannot be reasoned with. They must be stopped.
Stupidity and apathy are deadly.
Rights are never given, they must be taken.
There is no afterlife, so we must make this life count.

Rand Paul is wrong. US history shows that this country killed many non-combatants. Don't confuse an idealized US with the real one. As much as I badly desire the idealized version, I suffer from the affliction of reality perception.
Rand Paul: "It has not been the history of the US to kill people who are out of combat. Even if there is a war, which most of us dispute -- that a bunch of people who are unarmed allegedly running drugs is a war -- we still don't kill people when they're incapacitated ... it's illegal and immoral."

Criminals in elected office hired masked criminals to do criminal things. The US loves its criminals. We coddle them and give them power over us and we do nothing to stop them. We complain and naively think that the very elected people who enable this will somehow fix it.
Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

Establishment Democrats are as responsible for the current sorry state of the US as the Republicans. In fact, the Republicans would not have been able to do what they are doing without them.
Our entire political system works against us. Corruption and abuse are rampant, and our lives get worse.

A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court.
A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.

Stop asking why corporate Democrats keep failing and pay attention to what they do. Jeffries is openly pushing the party to move further into Neoliberal capitalism and championing an agenda that’s defined by a venture capitalist.

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

This would be a novel concept in the US. We love our rich, powerful criminals here, and have an entire infrastructure to enable and protect them.
Just a thought: How about we stop protecting the reputation of powerful, rich child rapists, and start bringing powerful, rich child rapists to justice?
