The Lord God upholds every subatomic particle, every quantum of time, energy and matter of the Universe by His will. This incomprehensible power and intelligence has produced Pauly Shore. Really, God? Well, I guess He's created me, too.

Every meeting, we had to come up with a better line, preferably without rhyming. Buddy I spoke to about it just rolled his eyes at me.

"Either you think this country is for everybody, in which case you're part of a human spirit that seeks to redeem this country's supremacist history of atrocities, or... you are a part of the inhuman spirit that forged that supremacist history and its atrocities." Nice piece Jules - thank you.

Yes, it... oh, in Iran?

Yeah. Let 'em in. Feed 'em. Heal them. Comfort them. They'll build the nation.

Honestly - if you can't smell it yourself by now, you're probably a source.

You should be kind for kindnesses sake. But if you can only be kind for your own sake - that would be a start.

Yeah, hard to figure out people when their thoughts are incoherent. Noah's flood was because God was pissed at people's violence; the rainbow was God saying, "Ok, I'm cool - won't ever do that again." The scriptural rainbow fits pride way better than gun loving, violence worshiping conservatives.

Well, this sucks. I didn't know Kershaw was a bigot.

Nice. Had to send that one to the kids.

Oh, they want to do away with everything going back to the Warren court - Obergefell, Lawrence, Griswold, Loving, Brown, Gideon, Mapp, and every other decision that recognizes a civil right. It's what authoritarians do.

Make citizens of everyone who wants to be one. Feed the hungry. Care for the sick and traumatized. Put those who can work to work. Build the nation. Simple. But for all our racism and xenophobia.

Maybe we need a bunch of different Democrats. Maybe some people could run in primary elections who won't be so damned feckless.

Yes - and he's expressed a willingness to throw trans folks under the bus, which also sucks ass.

It never left us - media talking heads have been wallowing in it for decades.

I would quite like the election results to be nullified - but I don't demand it, and don't speak for all of California.

Is there no leader in the Democratic party who can simply see wrong, and respond by condemning it? Have the Democrats also lost their humanity?

Even if they put the innocent to death, and the only safe place to keep diverse thoughts is locked tightly within our own heads, Even then we will oppose, reject and resist. We will never quit We will never capitulate We will never unite.

Even if the rest of the nation bows to a golden statue of Trump 3 times a day, Even if speaking diverse thoughts brings instant arrest and persecution, Even if criticizing callousness and cruelty brings that cruelty down on the critic's head,
comment in response to post
This nation will never be "One Nation" as long as this cruelty and callousness exists. We will always reject, oppose and resist this way of acting, and those who practice it. Even if the oppression becomes severe, even if the administration puts a jackbooted thug on every doorstep,
