This man was speaking truth about religious conservatives 1/4 of a century ago. Amazingly, and tragically, a lot of things have somehow only gotten worse since then.

It’s funny how they’re pro-life until they’re beating a cop to death with a fire extinguisher. 

The REAL truth: No corporation should be donating any money, to any politician, of any political affiliation, under any circumstances. Until we get publicly funded political campaigns, our system will have corruption built into it.

But, you know, everything -until now- was hunky dory.

I favor a scorch GOP-earth policy. Let loose the professionals at the DOJ on to each and everyone who was ever a part of the 45* regime. Including sitting US senators like McConnell for the shady dealings that favored his wife’s companies. They ALL need to be prosecuted to the fullest so they know that they should…

It’s amazing how much people start to talk about “inclusivity” and “unity” and “bringing everyone together” after they get caught trying to overthrow the government

Donald Trump needs to be executed.

I, for one, mix up motorcycles and cars all the time. Sooo confusing.

What happened to the innocent occupants is unacceptable and preventable, but we are going to accept it and not do anything to prevent it from happening again.

They tear gassed them during the summer. And let white kids cross state lines with automatic weapons to kill them. And shot them. And tased them. And beat them.

Exactly! I’m so tired of hearing about how the Capitol police were unprepared for the onslaught. They were absoluely prepared, to let the fuckers in and that’s what they did. This was a goddamn inside job. They need to stop acting like the cops were acting in good faith and just weren’t able to do the job. They…

Yeah, people clearly don’t want to talk about it but the far right is all up in the police and military.

Except the 20 cops standing by would have dropped her in a heartbeat. You’re only allowed to carry a gun in public if you’re a white guy with a camo fetish.

Natalicchio confirmed to The Root that about 20 police officers were present but did not intervene in the mobbing—prompting her and two other bystanders to ultimately rescue Nibo.

Hateful fuckers.  How did her friends let her get separated like that?  I know her friends aren’t the people in the wrong, but in dangerous situations people have to stick together like glue.  Hold hands if necessary.  I’m really glad she wasn’t hurt more than she was, but it sounds like it was bad enough to cause…

“I will say it, because I don’t think a lot of people want to,” he began. “Can you imagine today, if those were all Black people storming the Capitol, and what would have happened....

Exactly.  Were they of a different skin tone, the situation would have ended 30 seconds after it began.  

Oh, I’m sure the police could stop them just fine. They won’t because... reasons.

Yup, Senate and House Democrats are now facing the nightmare scenario; being in a position to make good on promises. Most of them had it all planned out, spend the next two-four years talking big and then doing nothing while blaming not having a majority in the Senate for it. Now the do-nothing/don’t rock the boat…

The Founding Fathers obviously did not foresee that a major political party would become profoundly anti-democratic, and no one really grasped until recently just how much of our governing rules were really just broadly-accepted norms without any power of enforcement behind them.
