or anyone else an apology? We are all allowed to see things through our own eyes and comment as long as we are within the guidelines set for this site.

I am just as sick of the....Where is my apology? posts as I am the other.

Read it through, make your comment and forget about it. Are we really that thin skinned or are we really that oppressive to other people and their ideas if they are not shared by you?

What I NEVER do is assume motives on the part of the person I'm unhappy about.

Merrick Garland has never been given the same courtesy.

works for us. We have every right to be concerned and express it.

Look I try not to say things that would get the old "you owe me or us and apology" crew on my butt. I just find it stupid on a website where discussion is the thing. We have never been lock step nor should we be or will we be.

I know the thing about Justice grinding slowly, but to be honest it has been painful waiting and watching. We grew up with The Lawman. Justice in 30 minutes. Sometimes it’s hard to out grow those myths that made us feel safe. Reality is a whole other ballgame. I, myself, I miss The Lawman. But, as an adult, I understand, if not the system itself, at least the premise it rests on and that guides it. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
