The problem is we've been *giving* the country the opportunity and the've rejected it each time. I'm not defending the underlying prejudice and misogyny but it will take a lot of time to reverse this administration's harmful policies and broken int'l relations so I'd prefer to put up a surer thing.

I don't know about telephones but answering machines initially were considered rude and impersonal by many. ("I don't want to talk to a machine!") However, Miss Manners compared them to butlers checking whether madam was at home (separate from whether the lady of the house was physically there).

Perhaps oddest favorite: Does Eric Clapton's acoustic version of his own Derek and the Dominos rock song Layla count as a cover song? www.youtube.com/watch?v=kseS...

Jon Stewart: "If you don’t think you’re better than us, then what are you doing? Doesn’t elite mean good? Not only do I want an elite president, I want someone embarrassingly superior to me. Someone who speaks 16 languages and sleeps two hours a night hanging upside down in a chamber they designed."

Changed my mind: my original idea for a perfect Trump end that conspiracy theorists couldn't touch was falling headfirst off a stage while doing his two-fisted pump dance. However, now I think never waking up at a televised press conference while people are praising his energy would be even better.

The DA's office originally proposed time served plus one day. The judge lengthened it to 30 days (“One day. Seriously? Somebody has to sell me on the wisdom of it.") and then, after protests, 90 days. But the actual time served turned out to be 30 days. www.snopes.com/fact-check/k...

Actually, my favorite proposal for the future use of the ballroom once the Democrats take over (assuming it ever gets built) is for Nuremberg-style trials of the members of this administration and their enablers.

What specific statement made by Talarico are you implying is comparable to a US Senator during a virulent anti-trans speech on the Senate floor making a bizarre claim with no evidence that the airline industry employs a large number of furries?

I'm shocked to see Tuberville attacking furries given his past embrace of the community.

I think this depends on whether the context is "I'm not going to vote for my favorite candidate because I don't think they're electable" or being realistic about the factors that might make one candidate more electable or more problematic on a national level.

The underlying issue is best approached with a nuanced understanding of history, culture, diplomacy and regional politics. Trump skipped all that.
