Miller is more of a Heinrich-roll kinda guy.

you know when a president expands his power, the next president almost never gives it back. fun fact, there's a federal courthouse right around the corner from the michigan state house in lansing. next time you go protest the tyranny of having to wear a mask, you might just get tear gassed

They are a bit snowflakey about that, aren't they. My dad was. I may've been 38 but I still rolled my eyes

CD, thanks for posting. It's good to have eyes on the ground. Sorry about that guy you ran into. Sounds like a Hotep to me, or someone who thinks like one.

I was thinking the same things you talked about. Since the news broke of Fed stormtroopers the whole thing has become sort of a general community uprising against said Feds, which is good, but if it widens on this basis BLM could be forgotten. If the administration wasn't so damn stupid I'd wonder if they planned it that way, but no doubt it's just the Bannon principle in effect.

But we mustn't forget how we got here. And don't let Wheeler get away with this. He's not the savior, he's the problem, just another mediocre white male pol who figures he can't get reelected if he doesn't give the police union a nice reacharound. I hope you'll be able to make him regret that strategy.

Nothing like the feeling of knowing your Shutzstaffen is working to preserve the peace.

"Protection Forces" is just the beginning. Just like plucking a chicken one feather at a time.

¡Holy camp, Batman!

I think this would strip a couple of gears in Dr. Freud’s brain-box with all that banana imagery were he to try to watch the whole piece.

Um, republicans were the ones who were threatening to secede when the black guy was elected and probably will again if/when Biden wins.

I think Mad's take was frequently a lot more on target than many "serious" critics.
