And that 51% enables laws to be passed by a group that only represents 26% of the country (42% if you want to lump in those right-leaners) that dictates the laws of the land to everyone.

They used to show this to us in assembly when I was in grade school. This, Johnny Appleseed and Sleepy Hollow plus all those nature movies. Sigh, I miss being a kid.

Lol, I’m done.

Yup. Because lordt knows a leading lady can’t be darker than her leading man...🤨

That was my thought too.  Even Terry Crews would be a better choice than The Rock. 

Seriously, even Disney of all companies got this right.  I love him, but the Rock isn’t right for this role.

Oh, don’t worry - ScarJo can still play John Henry’s wife:

On the plus side, John Henry is not being portrayed by Scarlett Johansson!

My choice was Mustafa Shakir

George Washington owned a ton of slaves, so yeah I’d HOPE we’d vote against him today.

This is an obvious realization, but fuck, we could have remade the Supreme Court. Obama got two nominees, Clinton could have had two in the first two years of her presidency (hell, possibly three if RBG found that she liked her replacement). If we could have gotten a full 16 years of Democratic presidents, we could…

If that couple were black, they would be dead.

Now we know that conservatives’ sympathy is reserved for those who get hit with water, but not bullets. Thanks for that one, TicTac. Now at least we know what the deal is with that issue.

At no time have I ever forgot that Tammy Faye Trihard is a real person with real feeling. I just don’t have a problem with her feelings being shown the same regard that she shows the feelings, rights, dignity, and safety of black and brown people.

Sure, she’s a real person. She’s a real racist, bigoted person who deserves a hell of a lot more than just water thrown at her. If this were the 1930s, she’d be the head of the BDM (girls’ wing of the Hitler Youth). She’s human garbage. I don’t feel sorry for her, and whatever terrible shit comes her way, she will…

If police officers were smart, and if they were willing and able to respect people’s civil rights, they’d always welcome cameras while doing their jobs. Any cop who tells people to stop recording them is a cop who considers it at least possible (if not probable) that s/he is going to do something of which s/he doesn’t…

Louder for the back row!

We need to stop this “I’m entitled to my opinion” non-sense. All opinions are not of value nor should they be respected. I know absolutely nothing about nuclear physics. My opinion on the topic of nuclear physics makes about as much sense as a soup sandwich.

To be fair, if you hire a guy named “Strom” and he doesn’t turn out to be a segregationist, you’d feel cheated too.
