“And don’t forget your complimentary flamethrower, gas cans, and bags of fireworks.”

“Well, since the fire is out in the kitchen, the rest of the burning house should be fine now. Everyone can head back inside now.” — America’s Covid-19 response plan.

If the Republicans and the GOP have anything to say about it, yes. But then, they’re aiming at everyone who isn’t a member of the multi-millionaire investor class. They’ll just blame democrats for everyone they send spiraling into poverty. Just like they do for everything else they destroy with their insatiable greed.

I’d say something about the irony of someone who has championed the “If you have nothing to hide” line who is fighting to keep all his dirty secrets from being made public...

Well, just getting rid of Thomas would help move the needle back away from crazy land. The rest of them, well, there are other bigger obstacles that need removal first, like a certain Kentucky Senator...

Accountability has to start at the top. For this fine to mean anything, it has to come out of *EXECUTIVE* salaries.

Hey, a chance at appointing another not bat-shit crazy GOP justice wouldn’t hurt things either. It’s going to take some STRONG counterweight to balance out Justice Rapey and Justice Cultist.

Also equally nightmare-inducing. At a time when there’s an irrefutable mountain of evidence that we have wildly overprovisioned social services into Law Enforcement — resulting in *REALLY* awful law enforcement practices — people aren’t grasping that there’s a relationship between increased funding, increased…

Because Law Enforcement in the US is doing such a wonderful job already, so why not move further into the Dystopic Police-state nightmare?

Suppose it depends on who’s getting paid...and who’s getting screwed.

“Putin’s interpretation of Soviet power seems to be on par of what a MAGA’s interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is.”

I detect no lies. Every single one of these actors and actresses are never anything less than fabulous in whatever role they’re given, yet they are infuriatingly overlooked when it comes time for recognition for their craft. And it’s not as if the actors or actresses they’d be competing with just for the nomination are…

Conflict of interest doesn’t apply to Republicans. This is just another example of their hypocrisy to be added to the mountain of other examples. They let sexual predator be a supreme court justice. Law, order, ethics, morality -- they do not apply.

That’s...really disheartening. There are many phenomenal actresses who aren’t white, then just as now. I could start listing names, but I’d be here all damn day. And she’s right. There have also been many phenomenal performances from black actresses since her win, but not only have there been no other winners, there…

There also needs to be a change to the way politicians get elected. It’s too much about currying the favor of the wealthy, too much about working at *staying* elected and not about doing a good job. Of course, all of that requires constitutionally codifying and enshrining VOTING RIGHTS...

There are problems with this — internal tools are often crude, and link to 3rd party, proprietary libraries and tools (a very common one is SpeedTree, for example), so there’s limits on what they *CAN* provide access to, and the added development time to streamline and refine the internal tools into something…

To the tyrants, equality is tyranny. And make no mistake, these oppressive, racist white ‘leaders’ are tyrants.

5 things? You mean other than the fact that she’s far more qualified than basically any judge Republicans have nominated over the last, oh, 30+ years?

Automated systems with no recourse, transparency, or accountability are bad?

It threw out more Democrat votes than Republican votes. In Texas, that’s ‘working as intended.’
