MORE shootings ... this time in El Paso and Dayton

Hold on, what? Was the FBI under Hoover 'just us'? Was Nixon using the power of the presidency to harass people 'just us'? Are executive orders, regardless of which side you are on, 'just us'?

 

Are cops 'just us'?

Hell fucking no. We have a whole Bill of Rights to protect ourselves from 'just us.'

 

Yep.

Just us.

And whatever we're willing to tolerate from ourselves to assuage our fears.

 

Bad people on both sides

 

I cannot understand your view of government and personal liberty. Mind boggling.

 

Oh how I just love bothsiderism.

 

We elected Nixon.

We relied on Hoover to keep us safe from radicals.

Were they from outer space?

They're us. They're Americans, chosen and sustained in government by other Americans.

Chosen mostly out of selfishness and ignorance and bigotry and fear, sure.

But that's us, too.

 

How many times has Elizabeth Warren threatened eliminationist violence?

Oh yeah none

 

Damnation, that's some bad both siderisming.

 

Are we keeping score? Who getsGilroy Calif? Orlando? Vegas? Sutherland Springs Church? Emmanuel AME Church? Luby’s? Aurora Theater? All right wing shooters. Not all trump. But all trumpism

 

I've read that hospital staffers say they have never seen some of those women who took the grinning group photo with #MoronPresident.

 

Joseph McCarthy was also an American... but at some point "At the last, sir, have you no shame?" took him down.

We are what we tolerate. It things are intolerable, protesting and fighting to change it are bone deep American values as well.
