Race Essentialism is beyond the pale. Race has little to nothing to do with it.

The fundamental difference is in number of parents in the early childhood home. This was predicted accurately in the Moynihan Report written more than half a century ago.

The pending litmus test in just under eight weeks will determine whether the US is dissolved by acid or alkali, or if it can return to the world of sanity and reason.

Does anybody besides hooch think they don't already know who buys guns? And ammo? And cheerios? Every transaction is on video. Their software can even id you with a mask. Cash just tags you as being suspicious.

I used to worry that only the dumbest people get elected, but I've found their voters to be dumber. We have an epidemic of stupid.

A bit of a side note: This is a good time to read about Indira Gandhi's Long Emergency in India, mid-1975 to March 1977. That emergency, which was completely political, ended because of social and political pressure against it, and she and her party were voted out. Our emergency is now quite a bit longer-term than Gandhi's.

Oh, and we’re still in the terrorism emergency Bush declared a few days after the 9/11 attacks. Biden renewed it again on Friday: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2022/09/09/notice-on-the-continuation-of-the-national-emergency-with-respect-to-certain-terrorist-attacks-2/

So Hochul (and Elizabeth Warren and the other fascist Karens in on this) are claiming people are trafficking firearms by purchasing them at gun stores using credit cards? So you fill out the background check, get approved, buy however many firearms your state law allows per month, and then traffic them? I’m sorry, but it’s evident these horrible people don’t give a $hit about gun violence. They are either completely ignorant or (my vote) ruthlessly exploiting this platform to attack and handicap the people they perceive as their political foes precisely because they know how law abiding and respectful we are.

Wouldn't an "election denier" refer to someone not running/not voting? We have moslems like that here, who don't vote because the only authorities are god and the prophet and the Quran. That's an election denier, right?

The FBI is very reminiscent of various european secret police forces, in that they seem (from over here) to live largely on their own mythology, and their ability to always serve the incumbent power instead of the law, the nation or the people. Kind of how our IB (Information Bureau, an illegal joint venture between the Socialist Democrat party, the unions and the secret police proper, active in the 1960s and 1970s) used to work. Which is nothing to strive for.

I'd laugh at the black nazis demanding segregation and apartheid if it wasn't so tragical. What was the point with desegregation at all then? Should of set one state aside for the blacks and let them run it, see how it goes, back in the 1960s - because that seems to be the aim nowadays, at least from people like the 'technically a human' in the clip.

I'm not surprised that they are turning the so-called "Patriot" Act on people domestically. I'm surprised it took them twenty years to get this blatant about it.

Some of us knew this would happen right from the start and it's why we don't trust either side with power.

"I’m sure the agency has since straightened up and only tracks the ‘bad’ people."

Nope. Never, actually. (I know, I can "taste" your sarcasm, you wonderful skeptic, you!)

You know how, in what used to be the real world, you might loathe your boss or your neighbor, but you kept it inside because there are social conventions that prevent you from the verbal diarrhea that leaves a heck of a mess?

Trump the Human Catalyst made everyone lose sphincter control.

Saddest example I saw was Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post, who always spoke so thoughtfully and wrote insightfully and seemed to be a really, really nice man. But those inner resentments he'd been too prudent, and perhaps too mature, to let out in public? He lost all his inhibitions too. I felt more badly about that than anyone else in the public sphere who I once thought had any credibility.

Oh, that "denier" map!!

Funny how *all* the contested states from 2020 have "deniers" on every ballot.

I wonder what the "skeptics" map will look like in 2024. (See, when Republicans question/distrust, they are "deniers." When Dems do it, a la 2016, 2004, 2000,...., they are "justifiably skeptical.")

Edit: Wow! What up with MA?! Are they the CNN of states? ;-)

The monk is correct, we are in fact "battling a threat from within"
