1. I second that!

[Biophilic]

2. I third it.

If I hear anyone talking about 'bothsiderism' after the last 4 years and especially this last year I will simply say "No" and walk away.

3. There's a CNN reporter

at the Capitol doing a story on today's stimulus negotiations, who's been going to town on both sides reporting. If you watched this guy, would swear that Dems was just as complicit as Republicans in holding out on the American people.

4. Indeed. We can get back to looking at both sides when both

parties, and not just the Democrats, are operating within the bounds of sanity.

6. This.

8. And I am teaching my cat to speak English

He will speak English before we can ever communicate with cultists

19. Does the little fellow know any words yet? We have four cats,

two tuxedos, a Siamese and a tortie. They have enriched our lives.

Like the lady says in the song, "I love cats!"

[housecat]

23. Yes and no

So far he says "yes" and "no" and "pet" when he wants a little massage. I smiled when you said two tuxedos. We recently lost our wonderful special little girl tuxedo of 15 years. She would never come in the house but came to a window or door every day for a meal. It took ten years for her to let me touch her. I never met a cat I didn't like.

5. And anyone taking bothsiderism seriously

needs to just shut the fuck up. Stop using up the oxygen.

7. Both realities?

Yes, cover both or several sides of the Democratic Party. But beyond that, it is a separate reality, and there is nothing to compare. if by "both sides" you mean trumpies and nazis compared to sane people why even bother?

[Tommymac]

9. Exactly.

And Welcome to DU!

10. President Wilson

President Wilson, when asked if there were two sides to every issue, replied "Yes, right and wrong."

11. Nice one. nt

[misanthrope]

21. Is that what he was thinking of when he

was heaping praise on D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation"?

16. The most common and perhaps most egregious kind of BSism I've seen lately is failing to

mention the fact that Congress hasn't been able to do anything due to Republican obstruction.

[BigmanPigman]

17. They also need to get a thorough mental examination by a real doctor.

I'm serious.

20. It's already a de facto retirement from journalism. Might as well make it official.

22. "Both sides baa"

It's the bleat of the intellectually lazy who can't be arsed to do the research but still want everyone else to think they're clever.
