Selective law enforcement based on political affiliation?

I noted in another article, that the new ballroom construction includes a state-of-the-art hospital. Meanwhile, Medicaid is getting cut back. Cuts for thee…

Authoritarians don’t like oversight or checks and balances.

I cannot understand a government that compulses kids to attend school, and then refuses to feed them while they are in school custody.

Slavery. Civil war —> KKK.

I’m reminded of a quote from a favorite movie, A River Runs Through It. The reverend, played by Tom Skerritt, said, “They were Methodists, a denomination my father always referred to as Baptists who could read.”

When asked by CNN’s Manu Raju on Capitol Hill Monday whether Trump needs to “course correct” after the midterm losses, Johnson said, “I’m not going to tell the president how to do his job. We have an incredible record of the first two years of his term, and I expect more success in the days ahead.”

No checks and balances.

There are actually two different groups of boomers, the early born ones, and the later born ones. The latter didn’t have the opportunities the former had after WWII. The boomers born from 1960 to 1964 were going to be grouped as Gen X, but that was dropped and they now have a “Generation Jones”.

As Jonesers reached adulthood, the United States military draft and involvement in the Vietnam War had ended; thus, they had no defining political cause, as opposition to the war was for the older Boomers.[20] The Woodstock music festival (1969) was a defining moment for older Boomers, whereas Jonesers tend to remember the Watergate scandal (1972–74) and the cultural cynicism it begat.[6] While in high school, members of Generation Jones felt they had just missed the real hippie era.[21] Key characteristics assigned to members are pessimism, distrust of government, and general cynicism.[22][23]

“Scrap the cap”! Hey, it rhymes!

Trump’s continuing middle finger. 🖕

He’s just keeping his mouth shut.

Given presidential immunity, it will seem rather hard to criminally prosecute Trump. That horrible decision needs some kind of revision.

I imagine one of the first steps to establishing a state religion is to indoctrinate kids into it.

Delusion.

“The American people want change. Real change. And the midterm election confirms just that,” Sanders said in a video message, pointing to the urgent need to address out-of-control income and wealth inequality, the starvation-level federal minimum wage, unfettered artificial intelligence, the corrupt campaign finance system, the broken for-profit healthcare system, and more.

We’ve been talking about income inequality and unaffordable healthcare for quite some time, more than a few decades. Trump was an aberration who somehow made worse all the things we’ve been complaining about, and wrapped it all up in a catchy PR jingle that made it sound desirable.

Above all, the Democrats are hostile to anything that would encourage a movement from below and further destabilize a state apparatus whose authority is already badly eroded. The Democrats’ task is to contain opposition to the Trump administration before it becomes a movement against the oligarchy that controls both parties.

Recalling the political metaphor of Ratchet and Pawl.

I was polite and respectful to you, and you tell me I’m full of bullshit, and don’t know the Pacific Ocean is large. That’s all I need to know I don’t ever want to see another post of yours. Adios.

I haven’t signed it, I have not decided that Jeffries is corrupt. I also find myself wondering about racism, whether that’s at play here. Further, republicans will now change their game, well come Jan 3, they’re lame duck now. Take down the democratic leadership?

I am seeing this petition being posted in a lot of threads I’m reading this morning. With 50 cents per signature, that’s a good incentive to spam it all over the place.
