Medgar Evers--shot to death on his own doorstep: Fred Hampton, 21, and Mark Clark, 22, shot to death by Chicago police while sleeping in their beds: Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner: so many others. And all against a backdrop of weekly casualty lists from Viet Nam. I was in college and participating in protests. The week Kent State happened a poll showed that 80% of Americans approved of shooting anti-war protestors.

All of this. For years I thought that the majority of Americans were horrified by the Kent State massacre--only to have that belief dashed when I saw a news report done shortly after the shootings were the people being interviewed approved of what happened.

Remember when Trump’s handlers had to come up with “Executive Time,” so Trump could play Nintendo and enjoy his burgers without the hassle of governing? As pathetic as that was, it probably was a gift to our nation. Executive Time deserves a congressional medal of freedom.

If all laws will sunset after five years, and we have a Congress so dysfunctional that nothing of substance can get passed anymore, won't that just leave us in total anarchy after a couple of cycles? What's the point of federal government?

I think you just stated the Republicans' point quite succinctly.

And Faux "News" is celebrating Mr. Obama's return to the White House with deceptively edited footage of Mr. Obama and President Biden.

See below - another sucker who fell for it.

Quelle surprise!

I very much doubt Chump has the mental capacity, or the patience, to play a computer game.
