Rabbit (the white dog) does not understand that getting dirty does not make him more attractive to Cora (the black dog).

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

Put it in a Cava bag to make it a more attractive offer.

Dead kids didn’t matter. Endless school shootings didn’t matter. But a single liberal with a firearm? That broke the GOP.οΏΌ

If your political party is making the argument that a guy with a gun is not allowed to defend a woman from a mob of masked men or else he's a "terrorist", I regret to inform you that you're the Baddies.

To Gregory Bovino: This is what brandishing a firearm at a protest looks like.

We know that famous American ideal, where the government has a right to shoot you dead because of β€œrhetoric.”

I surely hope Carney’s speech rang the bell.

Yes. Read or watch this speech.

Agreed. Worth reading in full. PM Carney’s speech is the mark of serious, thoughtful leadership.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Mood #2. Whom should emulate; ~18-month old Rabbit, on the left, or ~5-yr-old Cora, on the left?
How to interpret Cora’s glance at the end?
