I saw another one of those posts where boomers dump on more recent generations. Now I'm a boomer and I have to admit that I don't get many of the things they like, but I don't expect to. ... \1

If they still support him and his corrupt cronies, they are robots.
They might be flesh and blood, but they're programmed to ignore every atrocity, lie, and sin that he and they commit.
Until they break that infernal programming, they belong to him.

So just to be clear - the “protect the kids” party is now shutting the government down to protect sexual predators? Do we have this right?

The Catholic Church used to rate movies for how objectionable they were to Catholic doctrine. Perhaps they still do. This was usually dictated by how many Catholic-reckoned sins of the flesh they exhibited. The prohibitions were quite forceful. They did not hold back. \1

It bears repeating. Don't focus so much on the provocations. Focus on the single source.

The Qatari "gift" plane is in no way suited to be an appropriate Air Force One plane.
They couldn't sell it to anyone, and now, trying to use it as a wildly inappropriate bribe for a function it is not at all suitable for just makes the complicit Trump administration a target for endless ridicule.

"DEI" is not a bad word. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamentally American – a reflection of who we actually are.
After centuries of erasure, we've seen progress in representation in recent years, and I don’t want to go back.

Donny "Two Dolls" Trump. That was going to be my new Trump nickname, and Lawrence O'Donnell just gave him that nickname on MSNBC, too.
It appears to be getting traction.
