There are turtles that you’ll help cross traffic...and then there are turtles you’ll ‘help’ *INTO* traffic...in particular, that one from Kentucky.

Let’s be clear: Florida is not the armpit or the asshole of America — both of those actually perform important functions for the body. No, Florida is the steaming turd getting squeezed out of America’s Republican ass. Just look at a US map. You’ll see I’m right.

“Okay. You can have it back just as soon as I see a signed and notarized warrant permitting surveillance of my person, so I know who to sue for harassment.” -- the only reasonable response.

And you don’t have to look hard for countless examples of where this path leads, either.

You cannot reward bad behavior without actively encouraging more of it. That’s basic psychology, the kind of thing even children can understand. So why is it that society continues to structure itself in a way that rewards its worst behaviors? The greater the power entrusted to you by the public, the greater the

He’s getting $179m not just for quitting. He’s getting $179m despite running the company he was responsible for straight into the ground. And, oh, by the way, he’ll move right on to another high-paid executive job where he will proceed to run that company straight into the ground.

To the oppressors, equality is ‘oppression.’

I’m not yet convinced he’ll serve much in the way of a real prison sentence (appeals, parole, etc), but at least he is legally ineligible for any position within law enforcement ever again. No badge or gun for him and no authority. Not that he should have ever been given them in the first place, but at least he won’t

Let’s see: assault? Check. Hate crime? Check. ‘Appropriate’ law-enforcement response? If you mean the sound of crickets chirping, then check, too.

And De Santis should then immediately be thrown in prison for violating the constitution. No trial. No jury. No lawyers. If he doesn’t respect the constitution, why should the rights it enshrines and protects be extended to him?

Georgia’s ‘political theater’ is what it looks like when conservatives reject democracy. No offense to Coogler, because he’s not wrong, but the only solution to Georgia’s problem is to bankrupt the state and buy it out from under the GOP. *NOTHING* can get better until that happens. I feel sorry for the folks who are

People like Marjorie are living proof that there is no god, God, or gods. Because if there was, she’d have been crisped by repeated lightning strikes years ago, with a booming laugh echoing from the heavens as she fried.

Hypocrisy has always been a core tenant of conservatism and the GOP. And given their attitudes and ideology hasn’t changed, neither will that. Because if conservatives become convinced they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.

Nah. Blackjack to the back of the head, a hood, and disappear from civilized society forever. If he can’t behave, think, or act civilized, he has no business being in civilization. Because anyone who thinks that some people don’t deserve all the rights, freedoms, and protections of society can lead by example and have

Somewhere out there, a Bob Katz is very confused...

It was confirmed to have carried rabies. At which point, it was already walking dead. Killing it was a mercy. The alternative is a long, slow, painful death spent hunting and infecting other animals to the same fate.

The bullets weren’t fired from his gun. So the cops lied about that. Next question should be, was it actually his gun, or are they lying about that, too? Because cops would NEVER plant evidence to create a narrative that protects themselves. Especially not the good, honest, hard-working ones who would shoot a kid in

...shit, you got me.

Soooo...violence and hate, genocide and mass murder, forced subjugation and enslavement.

The legacy of ‘sundown towns’ -- Americans being proud of their hate.
