It is infuriating how often this plays out, and yet the lesson is never learned.

This is extraordinarily dark: government agents surveilling peaceful protestors and trying to entrap them into breaking the law. It’s a classic measure of an authoritarian state.

It’s hard to imagine a better way to capture how little interest Trump has in the lives of real human beings than to see him support Kim Jong-Un’s vile and oppressive regime over our South Korea. It’s a position that projects both ignorance and contempt for all the people living in both nations.

I thought the day might come when the United States ceased to be the leader of the Free World and a deterrent to tyrants. When the U.S. abandoned the West, so to speak. I admit I did not see it coming from the Republican Party and the Right -- CPAC, Heritage, all of them. But here we are.

hahahahahahahahahaha AG Todd Blanche: "This narrative...that the president is going to pull me aside and ask me to do something illegal is completely a false narrative, not true, will not happen, and hasn't happened"

A lot of people don't know this, but when you brush a cat, you are legally required to show them the wad of cat hair that came off of them and tell them "this is enough for another whole cat"

A quote from my book THE VIEW FROM FLYOVER COUNTRY. There's an ebook sale on this book now for only $2.99 -- get it cheap while it lasts:

"When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatize those who let people die, not those that struggle to live." -- Kendzior View From Flyover Country essay

As I've written before, if Republicans successfully redefine some forms of birth control as causing abortion (IUDs, emergency contraception) they can restrict access to contraception without touching Griswold. Thanks, Sam Alito newrepublic.com/article/1796...

Republicans want to impose a requirement on schools to have the Pledge of Allegiance recited in classrooms again. Think about the hypocrisy of it all.

One last thing: people always try to think of scenarios where it’s fine. I strongly urge people to watch this video to get in your head all the ways that the police will use what you think are harmless statements to convict you of crimes you did not commit.

Translation: “Corruption is cool again, just as it should be. “Americans” have the attention span of a fruit fly. We can commit as many crimes as we want with near total impunity, because by next week people will have forgotten it ever happened and the idea that we’d face consequences is crazy”
