Mr. Civility himself calling for a general strike, Bill Kristol calling for ICE to be abolished, and GMU libertarians posting like they want to get the GC subpeonaed. We are 83 days in.

Oh, NOW they get it! Only took 25 yrs & the apocalypse drawing nigh. Still haunted by the leftist who told me in April 2000 that there was "no difference btw George Bush & Al Gore, they're both corporate shills." Often wondered if he reflected on that statement after 9/11, the fall of Roe, etc.

Has anyone who survived dictatorship written about the toll it takes on body and spirit to be consumed with anger at the people destroying their country? This state of being is not physically sustainable, even for the young and able-bodied.

The pace and absurdity of this torrent of lies from the administration makes me fear that they aren't just trying to save face, but that they can't bring him back because he's already dead. Now they're just hoping to demonize him sufficiently that there won't be BLM-level riots when this comes out.
