And just like that America has a brand new folk hero. A Pretty Boy Floyd for the new century. Young good looking white man. Enough pictures released that many people must know his name but for some reason no one has come forward yet. Songwriters are strumming chords and roughing in lyrics waiting to find out the name. Hollywood has several scriptwriters working. The main question now is will he be taken dead or alive.

Church of God Skydive?

Do you seriously not know that Pete Seeger wrote it for The Byrds?
-
I don't know how you find the time to keep track of all that. I just skim them because it's just getting too granular.

Those sites make money.

Freedom of association is in the holy constitution, yes?

We have long moved past the Enlightenment Era. It's Postmodernism now.

What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? And hypocrisy.
-
Free speech generally means freedom from prosecution. Persecution? Well that's a completely different matter. There are things you or I could say that would lead to shunning in society. And rightfully so.

The alphabet people (other than plain gay) are a very small slice of the population. But the emotion and hatred generated in the right wing over them is very powerful. A very effective driver of voters, even more effective than the anti-semitism of the 1930s. We all love to hate someone.

Better or worse than Bill Barr?

The people don't actually choose who to vote against. They only choose who to vote for. I will confess that because I live in a country with a parliamentary system not only do I not even get a direct vote for the leader of the nation I also live with the fact that no prime ministers party have received a majority of votes for as long as I can remember. 34% will usually win the government and 40% is a landslide. So I'm having a hard time sympathizing with you for that weakness in your system. Even though I share your strong feelings about the result you are stuck with. But it is not the system, it is the people.

It is disingenuous to argue about which side is in the majority at this point. It is close to an even split in house the senate and the presidency. But clearly the right is winning and has seized the moment. The electoral college is not to blame this time. The people are to blame.
-
As expected. It does show that at least the senate is not completely in the control of the dotard.

I propose that you enlist Elon into a plan to transport the homeless to Mars. Australia won’t take any.

‘Xactly. Now you’re starting to get it.

This is what it means to be a right wing conservative today. And yesterday as well.

Soon he will find enough spare change to buy Truth Social and merge it with the remains of Twitter.

But it keeps on standing in the way of Christian religious domination of the schools. It has to go.
-
The Ds versus the Rs is starting to remind me of Israelis vs Palestinians. Or at least the rhetoric is. Get a grip everyone.

In the context of leadership selection only up is available at this moment. I hope.

Yes really. Think about it. If Gaetz does not get the job it doesn't mean someone you or I will approve of will. It will only mean that someone just as evil but harder to tarnish will instead. The population has moved right, but not far right. In the end Bush and the neocons did far more damage to the US than Trump is going to do. The seemingly never ending war to bring "The American Way" to the muslim nations is the main reason Trump even happened. The Saudi royal family has to be very happy right now.
-
Yes all that is absolutely true. There can be no other reason to confirm Gaetz. Which I do not think will happen in the end. But if it does it will not be the end of the USA. The bigger danger is the nomination for defense secretary which the Gaetz debacle will draw attention away from. The justice department will be weakened but in the overall justice system the bulk of the work is done at the state level. Defence is solely federal and more important.

This is why Trump made the original statement that there were fine people on both sides. Of a demonstration event to support confederate worship. Those people are his voters. He cannot bring himself to condemn them. He failed to do what a POTUS is supposed to do. Therefore demonstrating his true colours once again. We all know that the man is unworthy. The only real disagreement is over how much that matters.
-
The problem is that although Trump supporters are not all extremists all extremists are Trump supporters. So yes they are in bed together.
