Not just killed. Murdered.

In a better world (far, far better) either Marc or this guy would be AG. The other would sit on the Supreme Court.

The only reason we have to fear death is if we could somehow survive it. It should come as happy news that none of us will ever be dead.

“When time and gnashing chaos devour us, we just end.
You ask "where will we go when we　
are dead forevermore?"

You'll be with the unborn.”

Seneca, “Troades”

Found it

Painting the non-religious as nihilists is an age-old trope.

Christians, for example, are limited to a narrow set of permissible beliefs, whereas the scope of my own metaphysically warranted beliefs are bounded only reason and imagination. Carl Sagan spoke movingly of this disparity.

If the stars were to appear only one night in a thousand years, R. W. Emerson imagined those lucky few to see them would be dumbstruck. If anything, I believe their nightly appearance is all the more reason for awe. It’s not some freakish anomaly. This truly is the wondrous universe that we inhabit.

They placed it in storage? For what purpose…convenience of reinstallation come the next insurrection? It ought to have been immediately converted to scrap metal ingots.

“The Supreme Court…paved the way for a third Trump term, as it did for his current term, by essentially granting him absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for any crimes he might commit in violation of the Constitution or the laws of the United States.”

President for Life Donald Trump is trying to amass the powers of a king.

“…he is now fully enabled to undermine national elections. No one can prevent him from remaining president of the United States for a constitutionally prohibited third term—except the American people, in whom ultimate power resides under the Constitution of the United States.”

And more roadkill, presumably.

Thanks for sharing. Could someone verify if this variety is “Ferncliff Illusion”? I’d love to put some in next year.

Amen brother

Beautiful homage to a beautiful soul. Well done.

Absolutely. I’m nearly awestruck that the vast spectrum of all known human deficiencies, coupled with his own novel maladies, have somehow been integrated into just one walking toxic malignancy of a human being.

Same profound sense of loss, sadness, fury and frustration here. It would be easier to accept if it were just this one imbecilic degenerate and not the third of our population that cheer him on. These truly are the times that try our souls.

Pleasure to meet you. Love your feed curation 👍

Symbol of our national disgrace
Symbol of our disrespect, apathy and cowardice

Ten months in, is everyone as proud and astonished as I am watching our impregnable institutions hold the line for our democratic republic?

So yea, let’s all just place our faith in our institutions.

At this rate we’ll be under full martial law by 2027.

John Steinbeck and David Foster Wallace, to name just two, simultaneously pull me in opposite directions. They force me to bear in mind Mary Midgley’s observation (“Wickedness”) that only in dime-store novels and children’s stories, do the characters conveniently wear either white or black hats.

Yes, and thus far we’re failing the test miserably.

“This is a character test for our country.”
