I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

Obviously, irony is dead, but McLaughlin is one of the most shameless Trump propagandists. She rushes out the same default statement for every ICE/CBP incident, which are inevitably debunked.
For her to complain about brainwashing is like an arsonist complaining about lighter fluid.

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

when "differing point of views" is literally about whether or not a group of folks deserve to live or die. well.
Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.

The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

“Was heavily engaged with the University of Missouri football and basketball teams” is the new funniest I’ve ever seen on LinkedIn
This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants
