Is Quisling telling the Norwegian partisans to stop bothering to interrupt the heavy water shipment and to ski instead? 

Is General Jaruzelski telling the Solidarity protestors to just give their movement up and concentrate on shipbuilding instead?

Its a lot easier for the opportunists to take advantage of people if they are somnolent.    

This is one of those things that in order for us to maintain the type of country we want, we will have to work hard for the rest of our lives. And anger is a good thing if it motivates us to try to make things better for others.

Does this mean we can't have any fun? Of course not. It just means, as one of my favorite passages says, that to everything there is a season.

besides, what's more fun than Shadenfreude when it's well deserved?

Jesus in the temple:  righteous anger.   Patton pissing in the Rhine: joy in victory.

if Dems get back into control they need to either impeach the RW of the SC or pack it to out vote them. It's as you say, you can't play Marquis of Queensbury rules against a bunch of guys trying to kick you in the nuts. Gloves have to come off, just like the Allies had to do in WWII.

Well said. Hillary and Kamala both conceded when it became apparent they didn't have a path to victory. Trump didn't, he incited an insurrection and was never brought up on charges. He should have been in prison by 2023 instead of running for president. But even though i'm a rational, non-conspiracy theorist, I still say Trump and Musk found a way to cheat. Mostly Musk because Trump is as stupid as a bag of rocks. Kamala conceded to quickly, IMO. There's no way Trump won all the swing states fairly.

“Just enjoy life and get out more and don’t be so angry” = “just lay back and enjoy it”. What you’d expect from an Epstein sympathizer.

The problem is, this is going to take generations. It's not going to all get undone in one term. People will have to vote for Democrats for the rest of their lives. It won't happen. They'll find some like age or a conflict half way around the world that doesn't involve US troops, to either not vote or vote for Republicans. Republicans literally held the Supreme Court hostage for nine months and that wasn't enough to vote for Clinton and now we want to add more when eventually Republicans will pick those justices too?

when the rules have gone down the tubes allowing a bad minority to control things, at some point the majority tosses the rules, cleans out the game and resets the rules. That's the way every society that succeeds long term rejuvenates itself after a period of decay and stagnation. And if you are worried the society doesn't have the majority to do it, your society is already ****ed beyond saving anyway and it's time to save up to move.

I’m sick of him. I’m sick of his sycophants excusing every new daily diversionary tactic.

They all can’t drop dead soon enough for me.

Saddest part of all is that they are most likely happy that they're hurting people-especially 'libruls.' 

I have to say I'm not convinced that karma exists. I also have to admit I hope it does.

It's almost like we're being forced to be cynical. Our country needs Republicans to put country above party. They're ALL going to lose their cush jobs anyway, voted out in landslides. They may as well burn down this corrupt administration on their way out. Save democracy.

Or maybe we will have competitive authoritarianism.

Spending the week on vacation. Got into the resort in time for kickoff so I missed the pregame concert. But between Brandi Carlisle, the heartfelt National Anthem and the halftime show. All have outclassed the actual game

Was that Liam? Wow

I noted Eliza Gonzalez of Baby Driver and Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

Apparently the unnamed staffer posted an insane screed about the halftime show
