Well done! Rest up. Then you’ll be ready to go out again and fight the fight.

It’s like when Ignaz Semmelweis told doctors they should wash their hands to avoid infecting laboring women and they were so offended at the implication that they, as gentlemen, could be dirty that they drove him to a breakdown and sent him to an asylum.

Furthermore, many of them will line up first for free food, even if they don’t need it, and take more than their share if they can because “it’s there for everyone, so it’d be stupid to pass it up.”

It can’t go back to being what it was, but it can be rebuilt, hopefully along the same lines but better.

Probably and yes. Also, behind door number C we have “narcissists will never admit they were wrong.”

So Hegdeath, et al. breach ALL the security rules and regs in the whole entire book and everyone shrugs and moves on, but this person criticizes the regime and gets dismissed? So, that’s where we are. Great.

You don’t know them. They go to another school.

Yeah, I spent my high school and college history classes thinking, “boy, that sucked! I’m glad I didn’t have to live through that.” And now I have to live through one of That (having now lived through a couple of other Thats). I’m sick of That. I want to live in uninteresting times.

Ace people are literally living the “virtuous life” that the terminally rightward would claim is ideal. How do they justify being mad about it??

I remember the “grittiness” backlash to that on TV shows in the 80s because people were so over the perceived pap of those “everything is perfect and easy” shows, because they were so far from people’s real experiences.

Been wondering that myself.

Start calling it the “Trump Recession/Depression” and referring to him as “that loser Trump”, and saying “It’s Trump’s fault” loud enough and often enough and he might get freaked enough to change course.

I was just telling someone that the other day. If there comes a chance months or years from now to rebuild the departments that are currently being trashed, it’s going to look like a bunch of partisan meanies firing “innocent” workers or “sinking our tax dollars into unnecessary bureaucracy”.

I wonder if these people were counted in the total number of people participating in protests.

So we’re back to indulgences again, then?

Gender affirming care for he, but not for thee.

Knowing when an active volcano might erupt seems like vital knowledge to track and share. Taking away that ability is not in the interest of the people. So many ways they’re taking away things that serve and protect US citizens.

Galling that real heroes are being removed at the behest of a classic example of a Fortunate Son.
