My Woke Bill Kristol t-shirt is in the mail. I'm so excited. So many people in my life have shown me that their stated core values are not only negotiable, but basically nonexistent. It's been so demoralizing. Bill is an example of the opposite and I am here for it.

Yes

I mean... convicted rapists are kind of her thing, aren't they?

Aren't the sane Kennedys who are left like, powerful or influential in some way? They have no pull in DC anymore? Seems weird that no one is doing anything to stop this nonsense.

If you can't acknowledge the fact that right wing extremism has been increasingly normalized while what used to be moderate Democratic views are being branded as extreme, you aren't operating in reality and we have nothing more to say to each other. See: Eisenhower domestic policies. Compare to Dem.

Moving the goalposts? I asked about the media's avoidance to take on fringe right wing views vs their hammering of the Dems for anything anyone who's not Republican says. I've been paying attention to the right wing ecosystem for decades because I grew up in the rural areas poisoned by it.

Show me when there has been a sustained and consistent effort across multiple platforms and media companies to hold Republicans accountable for what podcasters who hold no position of authority within the party have said.

Where are the articles holding every elected Republican responsible for every thing every insane right wing podcaster says? Oh, you don't write about that because of the right, the insane fringe can't be distinguished from the elected Republicans. Huh. Weird. Maybe someone ought to look into that.

2012 Benghazi: 4 Americans died. Republicans spent 2 years, $7 million, 11 hours of hearings, and 800 pages on a taxpayer-funded investigation. I look forward to an equal response from Democrats to the deaths caused by this Administration's not a "war" war.

@wired.com wrote an excellent article about Illinois county prosecutors volunteering folks' information for ICE. Does the state have a response to that conduct?

Will voters hold any of them accountable?

Terrorists

I saw Korn, Manson & Danzig in Fargo, North Dakota when I was 15. Went backstage with one of Manson's band members. I lied and told him I was 16. He gave me alcohol and did some other things with me that would probably get a man canceled in today's world.

I downloaded map quest, subscribed and deleted Google maps.

You're a badass. Take care of yourself, though. The world needs you, Joanne. 💙
