“The truth on display at The President's House is that George Washington, a Founding Father and the first President, owned human beings, profited off their unpaid labor, and, when one of them made a break for freedom, tried for years to recapture them.” www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

We have entered the McKirky era of US politics.

Charlie Kirk will be remembered as the guy who broke the 1st Amendment to preserve the 2hd.

Isn't it somewhat ironic that Charlie Kirk was the victim of a school shooting? After all, he did say that a few deaths by gun violence were worth it to protect the 2nd Amendment.

This is worthy...

This DOJ is so inept. They can't even indict a ham sandwich.

First, they came for the undocumented, and I said nothing...

John Roberts will take his place atop the list of most horrible Chief SC Justices" in history
