Adults are doing unto the kids what was done unto them.

It's never actually happened? details, details

In Billmon's essay on Herrenvolk (Master Race) Democracy, which made the rounds back in the 2010s, he made the point that those who defend the degenerate races ultimately come to be seen as a part of them. There are many historical examples of this.

i REALLY DON'T CARE. DO U?

When you look at Noem, RFK Jr, Hegseth, Bovino, Bessent, it's pretty striking. Trump picked an entire cabinet whose only qualification is to be able to tell outlandish lies with a straight face.

After having killed a white woman. They killed Keith Porter, a Black man, in LA on New Year's Eve. Ever hear of him?

Of course he does. Is this a joke? He defended the guy who killed Good. He’s told multiple people that he thinks protesters should be attacked. He told people at a rally to rough someone up. He’s said nothing as ICE has hurt people for months.

He doesn’t get to walk away from this now.

These people would have hammered the nails into Jesus.

I'd say Bush v. Gore. But YMMV.

Center-right republicans like Eisenhower died out with Reagan.

David Broder wrote a column for WaPo in '04 about the D refusal to engage on the Iraq invasion. He called it "Politics Above Principle." And so it was, and so it is today.

Sure Why Not Occasionally I see people talking about how few Good Republicans it would require to save us. The point of this should not be to make a ple...

@mcopelov.bsky.social: You'd be interested in thie post from @eschatonblog.com on the "good Republican": www.eschatonblog.com/2026/01/sure.... I fear he's right.

Shit is fucked up and bullshit

Agreed. I'd add that far from having a merely nonzero probablity, that eventuality seems to me the way to bet. Cf. 1/6/21.

"You're probably not used to being called an optimist, but "low probability" puts at least one foot in the optimist camp. One doesn't need to be a doomer to estimate the probability as quite high, as I do.

The Devil: The difference between me and Trump is, I want you to tell the truth sometimes.

A McGovern slogan in '72 was, "Right from the Start." Something it seems you absolutely do not want to be.

Talk about hope hanging by a narrow thread

Useful. Thanks.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Agents provocateurs?

Like praising a naughty child the one time s/he does something right.

GW assumed the plain words of the constitutionj would be followed. April Fool, George!

I believe Mr. Jeffries already has ruled that out in advance.

Expertise is denigrated across the board. Remember in '08 when Obama was pilloried for pronouncing Pakistan CORRECTLY?

Grant ran the most corrupt administraton in history until his time, and one of the most corrupt ever. How does he rate a C? His brilliance as a general? His autobiography?

In 1998 NECLC merged into @ccrjustice.org, which has shown that free speech organizations needn't promote bigotry. But its example too often has been honored in the breach rather than the practice.

ACLU kicked Elizabeth Gurley Flynn off its executive committee in 1940 for her communist ties, and ia decade later wouldn't directly defend those charged w violating the McCarran Act.This led to the founding of the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee, which practiced what the ACLU preached.
