Dhs lies

Dhs lies

After all this is over, we need to pass a law that makes social media posts from official agency accounts like this subject to perjury, equivalently to testimony before Congress. It is too destructive to the country to let them keep lying and lying and lying without any possible legal remedy.

It's fun *sometimes.* If all games were like this it wouldn't be fun. But variety is the spice of life

The one thing I’ve learned from watching #Seahawks games over the years is that the city’s lone profession is fish monger

Of course you don't want every game to be goofy snow conditions, but you do want the *occasional* goofy snow game. Disasters can be fun!

These ghost yardlines on the CBS broadcast are absolutely terrible and need to be binned immediately.

America's small-r republican muscles have atrophied to the point of near-uselessness.

This has been a bipartisan phenomenon. Trump is the "beneficiary" of a long, long process of decay.

This is particularly important when the government is going all out to portray that person as a "domestic terrorist". If the facts of that person's life make such a portrayal ring false, it's important for people to know them.

Yes. Though the fact that the government is lying to us like this is a story in its own right.

Trump is sympathetic to fascism, but truly believing in an ideology requires some degree of contemplation that I don't believe he's capable of. Miller is the genuine article.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to β€œthe opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.

Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.

Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

it is true that some Americans waved the flag as they committed unspeakable acts of evil

but other Americans waved that same flag marching into battle against their own former slaveowners

you get to decide who has the legitimate claim

I do think politicians need to slow down and explain the details of this in public speeches. Put together a pattern, prosecute a case for the public. Convince people that this is evil.

The original post by Nate so neatly embodies the fatal error of the last decadeβ€”the idea that because we worked very hard to avert a catastrophe, the catastrophe was never a danger in the first place

Remember what I said about how when Trump falters, the media inserts a fake, imaginary version of Trump into the news instead?
