For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

Been thinking a lot about this line lately.
There are 2 books which I would strongly suggest for people to read or re-read: The Hobbit. The Lord Of The Rings. This is from The Lord Of The Rings chapter is The Shadow of the Past.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.
It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

"Democrats need to get the big things right or the small things won’t matter—and that means being strong not just on economic security but also on national security and public safety." A little more like Bubba.
