Let's see... Southern planters spent about 250 years owning people, 4 years fighting a war over it, about 10 years chafing under Reconstruction, and the next 150 years doing everything they can to bring back slavery.
Never believe people who say an evil is "in the past". Some of them want it back.
You don't stand on dulcimers, you stand on bagpipes.
The glockenspiel is coming from inside the house.
How did Iran capture eight blonde, leggy Fox News reporters?
The FBI has always been a right wing agency even when it pretended to be apolitical and neutral. Sometimes it goes after actual criminals.
4.) But sure. Blame the voters for not holding their noses every single time.
Did the stay-home non-voters choose badly? Yes. But they weren't ever offered the best choice. People do get tired of choosing the lesser evil.
3.) how his Medicare for All would be paid for. In fact it had been worked out in fine detail, you could look it up. A lot of it was just 'tax the filthy rich'. But the others lied, helped Joe Biden to win. I held my nose and voted for Joe. Bernie would have been better, but we couldn't have that.
2.) Example: I was SO PISSED OFF watching the 2020 South Carolina Democratic primary debate. Bernie Sanders had been sweeping the primaries and it was Biden's last chance to win. Several other Dem candidates lied about Bernie's proposed Medicare For All when they said he didn't explain...
1.) A big part of the problem is that the US has winner-take-all elections which mathematically reduce to just two viable parties. This creates a mug's game where you're supposed to 'hold your nose and vote' even when your favored party is barely giving you any of what they ought to know you want.

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”
If Trump has a massive eyes-bleeding seizure on-camera while reading the Bible I just might start believing.
Because Opabinia can do that!
(Any day that has a Cambrian joke is a good day.)
The article just says the necropolis dates to 'the Roman era". The Romans ruled over Egypt from 30 BCE (when Augustus consolidated his rule) right up to the 7th Century CE when the Sasanian conquest and then the Islamic conquest took place.
Maybe they could narrow it down a bit?
That torso is judging me.
Sigh, terrible that I don't even need sourcing, I know this quote so well. The cite for this is in the alt but you can also learn about it's context here.

You never skip dakka dakka day.
Ketchup? On lobster!?
Roberts does deserve discredit but the GOP judges on the Supreme Court are all scum. I couldn't even tell you who the last honest GOP SC justice was. Somebody dead. Definitely not Rehnquist.
Swift a cult baby? Say it ain't so.

(Mind you, I didn't know a thing about Lieberman in 2000, I learned all this later. He was a role model for Manchin/Sinema/Fetterman types.)
I've heard that this was due to pressure from Joe Lieberman, who was an inexplicably DINO right-wing running mate for Gore. Bill Maher said "Lieberman is your guy if you like Bush but just don't think he's Jewish enough."
Didn't he help create Homeland Security? Ugh.
Gore shoulda fought hard.
I still don't understand why Democratic Party leaders decided to raise the alarm about the Supreme Court in 2024. That was a good 20 years too late.
In fact I dare say it's a standard policy of the DNC to hear reports about some horrible anti-democracy trend and ban all mention of it for 20 years.
I refer often to Vincent Bugliosi's essay in The Nation in the wake of the Dec. 2000 theft of the Presidency by G.W. Bush and 5 corrupt GOP Supreme Court justices. Bugliosi (who sent Manson to prison) argues that it's impossible to imagine them finding for Al Gore.

OH MY GOD NO SHIT PILLOW

"No mama? Then who did I see kissing Santa Claus?"
You have to be impressed by a man who found a way to die while taking a bribe AND a shit. The demons awaiting him at the Mouth Of Brimstone probably all asked for autographs.
