I can't believe Big Balls, the Douche and Tommy Tuna could make a mistake like this, given their combined year of work experience.

Honestly, the best response would be for Georgetown Law to explain that diversity, equity, and inclusion are values promoted by Catholic teaching, and they don't appreciate the U.S. attorney demanding they eliminate their religious principles from their curriculum. His head would explode.

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs
America is over. There is no coming back from this.
If we're lucky maybe we claw back some small-l liberalism for our daily lives. But even that might be too much to hope for.
The rest of the world has to move on from us.
They now know that the American people can't be trusted.
They're right.

I would not characterize this as “a major diplomatic breakthrough.”
I would instead call it human trafficking. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

If George Soros held an Oval Office press conference explaining his plans for the Biden administration and then the State Department awarded a nine figure contract to the Open Society Foundations then Washington D.C. would’ve consisted of mostly ash and blood within 72 hours.

As much as I hate comparisons to the handmaid's tale, I keep thinking about the opening in the series when women wake up one day and find themselves locked out of their bank accounts.

They are seeking to criminalize integration efforts across public life. We must be clear eyed and direct about what’s happening here. We have not witnessed this blatant of a comprehensive governmental attack on integration since the Civil Rights Movement. slate.com/news-and-pol...

They know every one of these memos breaks the law. The point is to get them in front of the Supreme Court to fundamentally alter the power of congress and remove any check on the executive

And I also want to say that until Trump came on the political scene it would not have required much bravery at all for a minister to say the things we hear in that video. It is a sign of just how authoritarian the political culture of the GOP has become that the word "brave" even comes to mind.

At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.

While I have no sympathies for this CEO and the evil he committed denying people care and causing them to die, vigilante murder is not a solution. We need an accountable system that prevents the societal urge to engage in vigilantism in the first place. Otherwise, we live in a failed state.
