  1. Weird. Seems like decrying race-based violence would be one of the most basic public appearances that you could ever make.
  2. Inspired by the American president's words, one white nationalist drove 600 miles to kill brown people. I'd say that makes it pretty widespread for those 20 dead people.
  3. Like Cheeto calling Cummings a racist b/c Cummings rightly called Cheeto a racist. What a world.
  4. Sounds like Cruz needs a round of golf with Trump to get his mind right.
  5. Thread https://twitter.com/ParkerMolloy/status/1158085428488089601
  6. More chaos, hatred, fear, and fear mongering is good business for the GOP/Rs.
  7. This is why I think that Rs in Congress (esp. Senate) are irretrievable compromised. Every president has at least some opposition from his own party in Congress. No one dares mutter a word against this WH. Flake and Corker made some brave speeches on the Senate floor before tucking tail and running.
  8. They're great at propaganda and meaningless words. Unfortunately.
  9. It's too hard to solve. He goes on in another tweet to talk about mental health, blah, blah, blah.
  10. Yep. I hope the Ds are prepared to fight as hard and nasty as the Rs. I'm not sure they are.
  11. I hope you're right about things not being normalized yet, but I'm doubtful. As others have stated before, the rule of law depends on all (or most) members of a society agreeing upon a set of norms and standards. Once that's broken, how do you go back in time? We don't seem to currently have such an agreement as members of the USA. There are numerous examples of the rule of law being thwarted. Even if Trump and McConnell were to leave tomorrow, there will be people to replace them and carry on their examples of lawlessness.
  12. Just think of all the things that have now been normalized. Russian interference in elections, obstruction, firing FBI directors to obstruct, AG as president's personal henchman, attacking sitting Reps from the bully pulpit, calling black reps racist, laughing at black reps getting burglarized, calling African countries shitholes, refusing to call out domestic terrorism, stoking white nationalism by dissembling and lying about immigrants, stoking fear about MS-13 gangs and Mexicans raping women in the backs of cars, etc.
  13. Agreed. But this is the dance we do for every crisis. Rs go on TV and repeat the talking points. Then gun legislation sits in McConnell's inbox and collects dust.
  14. If you call out white nationalist terrorism, you don't get to road trip to Iraq/Afghanistan. It's just not the same.
  15. To call him human debris would be an insult to human debris.
  16. Trumpkins today: "It's really a shame how misguided some young people are. There's so much garbage on the internet. My grandson plays video games 5 or 6 hours a day. All of that has an effect on young minds. I hope we'll do more to help people having mental problems!"
  17. GOP/Rs checking all the red herring boxes.
