Is a flag-burning amendment the most important thing the Senate could be doing right now?

Quoth Orrin Hatch (R-UT): “You’re darned right it is.“

Well, that settles that! I’m surprised they’re not hammering at it 24x7x365 until it’s fixed!

Does make me wonder about those slackers who took time out to debate video game violence …

Once again, Orrin Hatch caricatures himself and his party.

Scott Adams weighs in on this issue, echoing some of your sentiments and providing some entertaining new ones as well.

How incredibly fragile #MikeJohnson 's sense of citizenship must be if folk who look or sound or act differently from him being still considered citizens weakens the meaning of being an American.

Frankly, I find Johnson himself more of an insult to what means for me to be an #Americam #citizen than some kid born here of unlawful immigrants.

The #DearLeader 's plans are, of course, genius, perfect, divinely inspired, so anything that goes wrong must, by definition, be the plotting of the tools of the Great Antifa Satan. QED.

#JohnAdams was aware that then, like today, keeping the principles of the #DeclarationOfIndependence alive would be a difficult, perhaps bloody, task -- but that it would be worth it.

#Trump cares nothing about the hoi polloi, even if he supposedly depends on their support and worship. Picnics? Fishing? Enjoying cherry blossoms? Insignificant against being able to create a #golfcourse for him and his cronies.

And I'll wager the place ends up with his name on it, or a gaudy-ass statue to him, or both.

That these same #conservative #Christians will turn around and claim God is punishing our nation for the actions of some of its individuals, shows that they actually get this. They just don't want to admit it applies to them and actions they don't want to take.

It is a wild cop-out for Evangelical GOPers like #MikeJohnson to recast #Matthew25 as solely an individual call to care for the poor. If legislation has nothing to do with individual moral decisions, why do Johnson and his cohort pray together before big votes?

Actions one takes as a political leader, or a business leader, or in a voting booth, or in any group setting, are still *individual* actions, with an inevitable moral dimension. Denying that is wrong.

I knew it was a mistake to let him see the Palace at Versailles ...

Also, it's the #DeclarationOfIndependence 's 250th Birthday, not the White House, you idiot.

Not surprisingly, #Lawfare Leader is convinced that a civil case won against him is lawfare and therefore shouldn't count. It's always #projection, all the way down; when the favorite tool you have is a hammer, you think everyone else is using one, too.

Napoleon this guy's not. "Cuba would be easy to conquer because it's not far away." 🙄

The only question I have about a Cuba invasion (not a "raid" or "operation") is whether it will be an "October surprise" for this year, to (he thinks) bolster the GOP in the election, or wait until his lame duck years to prove he's still Large and In Charge.

The views expressed by me on this weblog are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer, my church, my party, my candidate, my community, my wife, my friends, or, on occasion, myself.

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.
