There are many things that can be sacrificed to serve a greater good. A life is not one of them. They are worth much more than whatever price you think you can assign to it when trying to save an economy.

Indeed. No one who is a part of or supporting the Republican party at this point is operating in anything resembling good faith. Even the people that we wanted to think were secretly reasonable Republicans (e.g. Susan Collins) have done nothing but screw this country over at every opportunity.
During WWII, America faced a shortage of nearly everything because it was all needed to support the war effort. To help keep things in stock and still support the troops, the federal government imposed rationing. Heads of households (and single individuals) would receive a ration book every month which carried a…
Yeah, if you really wanted to boil down the problem that these protestors are having, it really is no more complex than they are unaccustomed to, and therefore cannot handle, being told “no.”
Yeah, that’s me popping off. In truth, I’m just as much an absolutist on the Fourth and Fifth Amendment as the First. So while I may fantasize about the whole “lose the paperwork”, the legal scholar in me has to insist that due process be observed, and that these individuals not be subjected to any unnecessary or…
You’ll get no argument on that point from me, and to be extremely clear, I’m not saying that we will, in any way, be able to change their minds using government force. Even if I hadn’t read my Augustine on the subject, which I have, the simple fact is that these people’s entire mentality is built on the foundation…
Last week, groups of protesters waving everything from Donald Trump campaign flags to in some instances Confederate flags, swastikas, and guns descended upon state capitols from Michigan to Kentucky to Ohio to Texas to Washington, ostensibly to demand that their elected leaders reopen businesses and lift much needed…
Many states with Republican governors had rallies too (I live in Maryland, we had our Display of Dumbness on Saturday), but Fat Donny Two Scoops didn’t tweet about them.
The people organizing this have indeed thought this through. This is not about, “Bringing the Dem Conspiracy to Crash Trump’s Economy” to light. This is about disruption and fracturing. The ability to cast one more story as another Red v Blue moment. The logical consequences of behavior has never been the point for…
At one point she yells, “Go back to China!” at him.
To those of us without the constitution to withstand audio, what is she saying?
There is no dissonance. People like this desperately need control. The same control over women’s sexual activity and forcing them to be dependent on crappy men is the control they lack now by being told society can’t function normally for the time being. They feel wildly out of control because you can’t control a…
Jeff Foxworthy: if your mother failed to iron her USA tee shirt that she wears to lean outside the Ram 1500 and yell nonsensically at healthcare workers....
Further proof of how astroturfed this “movement” is:
The model was furious!
I don’t really see how this plays out...I mean they reopen the economy, more people get sick, overwhelm health system, are unable to work, make people not want to go out in public...economy takes another nose dive before the November election. I know we like to ascribe nefarious plots to types of things, but I was…
There’s video. Listen to what Karen in the truck is yelling at him.
What better time is there to start squawking about wanting a smaller, more limited government than when there’s a pandemic that requires a coherent, coordinated national response by qualified experts in their respective fields?
