That concerns me as well.
They probably were not ordered to march in proper formation, and so they chose not to.
Apparently they weren't as 'well-screened' as the yahoos who cheered Trump's recent Fort Bragg appearance.

Excellent point.

At least he's not about to kill again.
(Unless Trump pardons him, of course.)

How can people not see it? At Trump rallies, everyone holds up mass-produced signs issued to them.
At anti-Trump rallies, no two signs are the same.
But it's the latter rallies that exist only because they're paid protesters funded by an oligarch?!
You did great, Darren.

I especially like the "breaking the frame" aspect.

I think a big contributing factor is that the majority of users are now on phones rather than on desktop computers. It's not as easy to see if someone already said the obvious thing one was just about to post.

Please check out the latest from Belle. It seems that the upper brass is deliberately slow-walking deployment on the (very correct) grounds that the troops need more training for this unusual situation.

For some reason (maybe the screen refreshing) I read that as,
Hell is empty
And all of the squirrels are here.

She's 31 and has been working steadily since she was 13. She has four Oscar nominations. She's earned a break, and I don't think she's worried about finding her next job.

Thanks.
We appreciate it.

Pennsylvania hasn't, for years. That's why the fight to disqualify mail-in ballots with incorrect dates was clearly pointless.

Yep. I can remember "Bring me the belt. I'm not hurting MY damned hand."

Trump and Must both think that everyone is going to rally around them and shun the other.
Are the Las Vegas oddsmakers on this one yet?

This is an account I wrote immediately after the taping of the 2011 show. It's a public link, so you should be able to read it.

The timing could be worse. The public hatefest could have been delayed until after the Senate voted on the OBBB.
But here we are.

Nothing says "Sincere personal belief" like holding up a mass-produced sign.

That's a pretty fraught company name, being as the palantirs were often used to alarm and mislead.

You might want to check out Randy Newman's "In Germany, Before the War." (He's more than just 'Short People' and 'Toy Story.')
Unreliable narrator, but you know exactly what's being told.

Oh, no. I'm glad you're well enough to tell the tale.

Your daughter is not wrong. I think you'll be glad you watched it.

I think HCR called it right by saying the pardon is akin to Trump's Proud Boys exchange, or the Whitmer would-be kidnappers. I took it as "If you support me, you can be as violent and corrupt as you want to be, and I'll have your back."
Justice isn't being redefined; it's dismissed as irrelevant.
