I hope that it's all part of a greater plan, but past experience says that they'll keep trying to kick that football, even knowing what will happen.

I get tired of screaming it over the years, but we cannot prevail over the right-wingers and maintain our democracy by playing nice-nice.

They use it against us, every time. Here in Texas, we just drove the Repub's fascist vote suppression law into a ditch, at least for a while. If it can be done in Texas, it can be done in every part of this poor suffering nation. Contact your representatives for the umpteenth time and register your displeasure. Show up at public demonstrations. Give what money you can to decent political candidates. If violence can't be avoided, have at it. Please, everybody: Get busy! It was never supposed to get this bad.

Reasonably torture and kill? How many poor people is it reasonable to let starve to death? How many Of the elderly and disabled is it reasonable to let suffer and die due to lack of health care?

If your answer was above zero, then I really don't want to know you.

You cannot bargain with sociopaths, psychopaths and the various other mentally deranged member of the GQP. At this point, that includes the entire party, since everyone of good faith, morals or integrity were purged long ago. What you can do is wall them off like a cyst.

He appears from time to time and debates with RW nut job character. I think he is based in part on that Fox News token liberal who used to get beaten up by Hannity (?) every week. Alan Colmes?

...is all I can say. This is obvious given how much he outright misrepresents liberal positions.
