Never heard of the Caning of Charles Sumner? Or the Army-McCarthy trials?  This civility shit is just an extortion racket employed by the right to silence their critics.

Yes. Yes, they did.

The version my mom gave me was, “Jesus says to turn the other cheek, but when you run out of cheeks break their face.” 

So the NYT pulled a “Bad folks on both sides” argument as it related to the literal kidnapping and imprisonment of toddlers vs the people who didn’t like the literal kidnapping and imprisonment of toddlers?

Bush Jr politely said didn’t authorize torture but it’s all legal.

I wish people would talk about this more.  All I see today is repeats of stuff from when I was a kid, bullies allowed to run around unchecked but when the victim decides they’ve had enough suddenly they’re the problem and there needs to be a dialogue to hear both sides.

Yeah, let’s be civil after we get the part of actual evil out of here. 

I do remember a time when politics was comparatively civil and reasonable. If the Clinton vs. Gingrich days didn’t spell the end of that time, it sure as hell died with the rise of people like Sarah Palin and Mitch McConnell.

Those Minnesota protesters are doing a much better job speaking truth to power than the Old Gray Hag. Maybe put them in charge of the newsroom, Sulzberger.

I’m even for protesting outside the schools of their children

I’ve called DJT many things in my life. I would not ever take back a single one even if there was a gun to my head.

If you are looking for the term for people right between Generation X and Millennials, it’s the Oregon Trail Generation.

I’m just laughing at the scandalized daintiness of people complaining you sent a transphobe a disrespectful, mocking e-mail as they ignore you revisiting and re-airing Singal’s shameful laundry.

The rather unprofessional approach to interview aside, and I don’t want the meat of this article to get lost in the anger (righteous, albeit)...

My useless .02 would be they are a bunch of children who are figuring out who and what they are in the world, and without bullshit fundamentalism getting in the way of questioning gender/sexuality they have been freed to figure their shit out without having to hide feelings.

Because this is exactly what America wanted when the majority of American voters didn’t vote for Trump.

Remember being in school learning about Hitler and thinking why didn’t those people in Germany just LEAVE when they had that chance?? The signs were all there!! They could have saved themselves!!

Trump is leaving a vacuum of leadership at so many multilateral platforms.

The war was not about slavery
