“They’re eating the dogs” wasn’t some disposable silly comment of mass distraction. No. It was straight out of the fascist’s playbook. Once you dehumanize people, you can manipulate a population to believe that those people aren’t worthy; of due process, of empathy, of respect, of life itself.
Pesach is not an insane. However, we are.

I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear.
Anyone have insights or advice regarding Straight Arrow News? It purports to be unbiased. So?
Nah, apparently “suckers and losers” will vote for him regardless.
Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour on Thursday was blistering in his criticism of Trump’s action as he granted a temporary restraining order that blocks Trump’s executive order from taking effect nationwide. “I’ve been on the bench for over four decades, I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one is. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” Coughenour, an appointee of Ronald Reagan, said from the bench. “There are other times in world history where we look back and people of goodwill can say where were the judges, where were the lawyers?” Coughenour interrupted before Brett Shumate, a Justice Department attorney, could even complete his first sentence. “In your opinion Is this executive order constitutional?” he asked. Shumate said, “it absolutely is.” “Frankly I have difficulty understanding how a member of the Bar could state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order,” Coughenour said. “It just boggles my mind.”

There is A LOT to be upset about right now. I want to take a moment to express my abject horror at the Executive Order that seeks to erase the existence of Trans people. It’s absolutely unacceptable. To the Trans community: You must be terrified right now. I stand with you in solidarity.

So if the January 6th mob was really a deep state antifa mob paid to make DJT look bad, why were they just pardoned?

McConnell waving a cautionary finger about the need for senate approval of cabinet picks is rich. This from the guy who chickened out on convicting Qaligula upon both impeachments. We wouldn’t have this problem in the first place if not for McConnell.
