the RepubliCon's "selective indignation" - for example:

DEFECIT SPENDING: RepubliCons - good; Democrats - bad
MAIL-IN VOTING: Democrats - good; RepubliCons - bad

I thought Blue Lives Mattered.


BTW... I live in the Lower Hudson Valley of NYS, which the NYT once tagged as "Upper Coplandia" because it is the bedroom community for cops and firefighters from the city. There were scads of Blue Lives Matter flags here before the riot. All gone now. Not one on display when I tooled around for a look-see this past weekend.

That horrendous school shooting in Newtown Connecticut, gun reform has been paltry.

Even when it was one of their own repub senators (Steve Scalise) that was shot on the baseball diamond, they just went back to business as usual - it was not any kind of a wake up call about gun violence or anything....
