I agree that there is genocide happening. I also understand that the guy who got elected is actively in favor of it and wouldn’t lift a finger to stop it if everyone in the country begged him, while the person who lost was trying to balance millions of conflicting priorities (and sadly those dying are not the top priorities) and the result isn’t what I want. There are other things to consider after you realize you’re not going to get what you want.

He also had a “750-milliliter bottle of 100-proof vodka and a gray sweatshirt with cloth cut off the sleeves” in his car.

Fucking pathetic “arsenal” if you’re going to firebomb anything, really.

The stuff is basically poison, so in spite of the assuredly awful motivations I’m not against it.

Having said that, Republicans seem to always have ulterior motives, so I’d be reading the fine print before voting.

Fuck the “echo chamber” discourse. I reject it entirely.I am not here to wear an ascetic’s hair shirt because you think that surrounding myself with dickheads builds character.

They said that the President is immune from prosecution for “official acts.” That means he can’t go to jail for crimes he commits so long as they are official acts. Official acts is undefined, so it means whatever the Supreme Court wants it to.

This is a civil lawsuit.
