THIS!!!

The rules only work when they apply to BOTH sides, and BOTH sides follow them equally.

Unfortunately, that's not what we have here, now.

Don't forget us in Oregon and Washington State!

You have to include the Blue Coast!

Welcome to DU, Resistance1!

Forewarned IS forearmed.

We can't say this was all unimaginable... who would have thought... surely this is exaggerated... and my personal favorite, that was told to me by a Republican neighbor and fellow school mom: "s'not gonna happen. S'not gonna happen!" Irresistibly enough, her name actually is Karen. And what she INSISTED wasn't gonna happen actually DID happen just a few weeks ago (thank you anti-choice CONS on the Supreme Court).

I LOVE Mike Luckovich!

Welcome to DU, 2abigbman!

She's really pathetic, that Empty Greene. Or Marjorie Traitor Gangrene. Or whatever fits.

But I'm sorry, I keep going back to blaming the people who saw fit to vote her into Congress. What On Earth were they thinking? Or maybe they simply weren't thinking, period. Just saw the blonde hair and perpetually bare arms and maybe that was what got their attention. I swear, she doesn't seem to know what a sleeve is. Most of the time she dresses inappropriately for Congress. For lunch with he girls, or taking the kids to the zoo or the beach, fine. But NOT for a sitting Member of Congress. She's just gotta keep shoving her bare skin into our faces.

What a trashy individual. It does make me wonder how much lower she'll go...

With some of these assholes who say such things,

I can't help but suspect that it's not a prediction so much as a desperate wish. They want blood to flow. OUR blood, from OUR side of the aisle is what they want to see flowing.

As it did on January 6th, 2021, when people actually did DIE during that nightmare. Including cops.

"HATEriots"?

“HAtriots”?

It’s easier spoken than written. You get the point immediately

Reminds me of when I was still working at the AP and saw a “People” story appear on the wires about the Three Stooges. The first line in the story read “Coitenly!”

Okay, if you just glanced at that and hadn’t read down a few lines to understand what the story was about, you might assume the story was about sex - ie: coitus. With a hard-C, not a soft-C. But whoever wrote it was trying to riff off how Curly Joe of the Three Stooges pronounced “certainly”. If I’d written that story, I’d have wanted to spell it “Soitenly!” Cuz people would read that and have to read it out loud and - BAM! They’d get it. And they’d read it right - the way Curly Joe pronounced it.

I bet there’d have been a brief conference at the editor’s desk to sort it all out.

"Hatriots". Whaddya think?

My main problem is making sure it’s pronounced correctly.

Maybe with the long-vowel denotation of a small horizontal line above the “a”?

I don’t want anybody thinking we’re talking about millinery!

Yep. "Cometh the hour, cometh the man."

In later years, there'll be movies made of this era. Wonder who'll play President Biden? And who'll play trump?
