People generally don't like it when you demonize their ancestors.

I have Confederate ancestors on one side of my family and am most likely related to the man who assassinated Abraham Lincoln on the other and I demonize them all quite frequently. Some folks need to realize that some of their ancestors were not noble fighters of a just cause to be revered.

Well, we're getting ready for Impeachment 2 tomorrow night, so we're a little hectic.

Do you like saying outlandish stuff for the fun of it?

It’s disrespecting a former president and it’s absolutely outrageous and shameful behavior.

Biden's now named his picks for Commerce, Labour, and the Small Business Administration: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/07/business/economy/biden-commerce-labor-secretary-sba.html

Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo's going to Commerce, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh to Labour, and former Obama-era official Isabel Guzman is going to SBA.

I always suspected that Biden planned to become a level ten mage and summon the fire spirits to do his bidding. Definitely the most exciting presidential agenda in a while.

It lighted every peak, crevasse and ridge of the nearby mountain range with a clarity and beauty that cannot be described but must be seen to be imagined. It was that beauty that the great poets dream about but describe most poorly and inadequately..."

All great choices.

Walsh’s replacement as mayor would be historic. The first woman and first black mayor of Boston.

Nonsense. The biggest religion on the planet is based on the concept that one of our ancestors damned us all by eating a forbidden fruit.

Future authoritarians will learn you can’t attempt a coup without consequence.

I don’t know about you, but that seems like a good consequence to me.

The principle remains the same, though. There are certain beliefs we cannot tolerate in a free society and people who hold them have to be re-educated.


Ofc, the republicans on parler also believed that the dems should be put in "re-education camps".

I've heard from this very thread that they took him off life support. If so then it was homicide and it was the doctors doing. Seems politically motivated if that was the case. I'm unfamiliar with medical procedure but honestly it seems wrong to me that if one can recuperate from wounds they shouldn't just cut off the life support.

It's only a coup d'état if it comes from the coup d'état region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling authoritarianism (from a cooking newsletter I got today).

being on life support doesn't necessarily mean you can recuperate

"I'm unfamiliar with medical procedure, but I'm not going to let that stop me..."
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.
