Marcy’s opinions, knowledge, and snark are a treasure. I’d only change her name for the fuckwit serving as Acting AG. Rather than “big dick” it should be “Saggy Balls Toilet Salesman.” That, I’ve heard, is a far more frequent problem necessitating adjustments in the distance between toilet seat and water surface.

The idea of playing games with immigration statuses seems half-baked and short-sighted - wouldn’t there be fewer teachers if visas were revoked?

I picked the wrong day to stop popping pills.

Good point. Do libtards come with pink slips?

He did not claim that record in reference to this event.

New (to me?) expression that must make it into the vernacular, “Kush League.” That is a thing of beauty!

You forgot reorganizing the federal government.

Over/under on the number (R) legislators who would hire Kushner as paid staff?

You’re right, many people do use prayers and religion that way. Contrition without action, amends and change are a waste of oxygen.

Where/when did Mr. Phillips claim to be a recon ranger in this melee or in response to it? Source, please — preferably a reputable media source or at least one outside the Qanon/MAGAt/redstate fever swamp conspiracy network.

Agreed. Not everyone in the armed forces carries a gun or flies a plane. The ratio of support to front line is something like 10:1. There are instructors, cooks, logistics analysts, controls engineers, instructors, mechanics of vehicles and GASP!!!! refrigerators.

I wrote in response to another comment about the Act of Contrition prayer, which said by the priest and the congregants at EVERY mass. They — students, parents, teachers, and priests — have the words for this and know them by heart. I do and I haven’t been to mass for more than 30 years.

So why should we forgive those who have no repentance for their actions and their wrongs? Do we really want these children to walk away believing that this kind of behavior is acceptable? Do we really want them to walk away without admitting a wrong?

Near perfect characterization: poorly fitted suit, overly long tie, tiny hands. Only criticism: hair looks too good.

In response to Individual-1's “speech,” Dems arrange for furloughed federal workers to speak about the effect of the shutdown. (idea from Nicolle Wallace)

The BUSLOAD of high school students and their ADULT chaperones could have ignored the disgusting bigotry of 4 provocateurs. I think somewhere in a book in which these “Christians” profess to believe are words spoken by a man these “Christians” profess to worship and follow, “Turn the other cheek.”

Nailed it. Defusing could have looked like having an “I am Spartacus” moment.

Yup. They were in DC to “stand for” denying every woman’s right to make decisions about her own body and medical care. Why would they or their chaperones have any problem about denying Mr. Phillips’ dignity and rights?

Not just girls and women. Think about the message that some white people infer from clothing worn by some black boys and young black men.

Twitter and Instagram also allow, gasp!!, links and images for more wordy explanations. Some people even make use of this functionality.
