(7,875 posts)After they gave him carte-blanche, after they kept silent during the BLM protests, after they sold all of us out over COVID-19 aid and intervention, after they denied the witnesses and the evidence mattered, after the un-ending obscenity that is I.C.E., and now they want to send children to school in August with no plan, no PPE and no vaccine.
I think it shows incredible restraint that we have not hung the entire GOP, lock, stock, and Moscow Mitch too. In some other countries, not so different from ours, this would not stand. The protests would not have been so polite and those responsible would have to answer in person rather than hiding behind twitter and FOX and the egregious pretense that they were elected.

(103 posts)When I was growing up, the notion of "rights" was inextricably linked with "responsibility". These days, some folks seem to think wearing a mask to limit the spread of a highly contagious virus is "an infringement of one's God given civil rights." Responsibility? No thanks! Too much trouble! The President doesn't wear a mask (and has mocked them) and a major news channel downplays the seriousness of the situation. Who needs masks? Maybe I'll come around to a similar point of view. I find speed limits in school zones to be highly annoying, and slowing down is such a pain. I like to drink heavily and then drive. What about my "rights" to do as I please, just because my behavior might have social consequences, i.e. kill people? 130,000 plus dead and rising is no reason for me to be inconvenienced. Let's break the link between rights and responsibility once and for all. On second thought...
