If "jackass" was the name of a bird lol

I think i read about that in a book when I was in American history, but Google isn't very helpful with checking on that right now.

So, are my Google skills fine, and is my brain connecting dots that aren't there? Or was "democracy is mob rule" soviet propaganda at some point in the cold war? 4/4

Am I remembering correctly that one of the ways that the USSR actually did try to infiltrate and destabilize US culture was to spread anti-democracy ideas like "democracy is mob rule", but with the bicentennial and all of the vets around, even the hippies didn't really buy into it very much? 3/4

It's such a radically un-American, ahistorical, flat-out wrong idea, I just assumed it was a Prager u thing of something, but it was *really* starting to bug me. Where did that crap come from?

But it hit me today when someone LITERALLY said "democracy is mob rule" - that was a ussr line, right?2/4

"libel" not "liable"

I'm not stupid it's just been a long week, I swear. I make good word many many time

When that little bug eyed dude said "we'll see you in Valhalla" to the departed soul of his loudly evangelical friend right next to the Mormon governor, I was suddenly struck by all of that diversity they appeared to have included in an equitable way in terms of representing religious beliefs

@esqueer.net quick legal question if you have a sec and know the answer off the top of the dome, but is there any way that a class action lawsuit brought by trans people for liable could be actionable in instances like this

Found my new "...and Fred Phelps used to be a great civil rights attorney." 👍

Have they mentioned what "trans for everybody" is supposed to mean yet...?

Utterly fascinating how people from Christian traditions borne out of shunning the extra-Biblical rituals of Roman Catholicism LOVE to cosplay as religions that use lots of rituals

I envy your lack of exposure to southern baptists

Are they saying that tmz is a leftist propaganda machine now (when they announced his death, you could hear people in the background laughing and cheering, but apparently it was just another group in the same office, watching something else in a different room, and didn't know what had happened)
