Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us, Blair. It's always a pleasure to read/hear you!

Perhaps they want to send them to prison so they can use them as cheap labour to do the jobs illegal immigrants used to do.

Every time I see this I misread my country as "Weed Mexico" and think that's the most accurate description I've ever seen.

"We are a country that stands up to dictators" when it suits them, maybe. Many other times they've stood up WITH dictators, and supported coups d'etat. Let's not pretend this is so out of character for the US.

I live in South America, where many 70s dictatorships were sponsored by the US. Over here this surprises exactly no-one. I know there's this image of the US fighting for what is right throughout history, but we know better.

Teeth can be knocked out by anyone. It's one of the risks of playing a contact sport.

The fuck does "expand freedom" mean?

Goodbye Earl, that soup and tea tasted alright to me!

I think that, if anything, what caused the Democrats to lose was not being "woke" enough.

You may want to inform yourself better before spouting "god given physical male ability" bullshit. Or at least don't say you support trans people when you clearly don't.

Checks and balances only work with governments that don't believe they're above the law. This is not the case here.

Miep Gies. Damn autocorrect.

I'll accept that I'm chaotic and deranged, for sure. Overhead lights for ever.

Remember reading about Miep Gives, Corrie Ten Boom, Oskar Schindler, etc. and admiring what they did? Well...

Back in the 70s the military in my country "followed orders" and raided homes, killed, tortured, "disappeared" people, stole babies. I don't have much faith in any military.

Do you really believe this stops with him? I don't. I think he's just the visible face of something much more sinister, and if he's gone someone else will be put in his place.

Shove the Presidency Down Trump’s Throat Liberals spent the president-elect’s first term trying and failing to kick him out of office. This time out, they need to turn the White House into a prison.

I wrote about the course correction liberals should make in Trump’s second term

You think someone's going to stop him? As if!

Checks and balances only work if everyone in charge agrees that they should work. Enter Dorito Mussolini who doesn't give a fuck.

Duuuude, those were my good eyes!

Yes, if the plan is to level Gaza and build fancy resorts in there or something like that.

"Riveting storytelling" sounds a lot like "bullshit".

It's not like Coca Cola didn't have any ethical problems before this, anyway, so I'm finding it funny that *this* is the final straw for some people. And those going "Go Pepsi!" instead? PepsiCo is also a corporation; I'm sure they have skeletons in their closet too.

I love Coca Cola (the product) but who is surprised? They're as evil as Nestlé.

We have a saying in Spanish, "'Aramos', dijo el mosquito, y estaba en el cuerno del buey" ("We plowed," said the mosquito that was on the ox's horn) that refers to people who take credit for stuff they didn't do. It seems to apply here.

Well thank god they can say those words now, how would they live otherwise?! 🙄

"law abiding" isn't a virtue when the law sucks and the justice system is tiered.

Vigilantism is what you get when people stop believing in the justice system. Perhaps the powers that be should think about that.

Lol productive people.

New Zealand's current government is right wing, and while it's probably not as extreme as USA's right wing, I wouldn't paint NZ as an idyllic land.
