Never underestimate the idiocy of the republican base
Mike Lindell raised cash for himself & Trump under the premise, Trump will be reinstated.

As we have all said, there was no election fraud & there is no such thing as a president being reinstated.
It's all been a scam. Idiots gave them money.@gop https://t.co/v3Z3O1LNBi

Questions, I Got Questions
Some depressing news--the poverty rate in the U.S. is at its highest in 16 years. Ummmm.....why do you suppose it is that for as much as republicans are hammering Democrats on the economy, they're not mentioning this fact? Don't you think the Dems would be pounding the republicans on this were the shoe on the other foot? Don't you think this speaks volumes about where the republicans' interest lies?
The Free Press occasionally runs a pair of pieces on their op-ed page(s), called "Opposing points of view" which are sometimes interesting (and sometimes not). This week's dealt with a proposal to limit appeals of conviction to one year (with our shoddy justice system, I didn't even have to read the opposing views to know where I stood--against!). The first piece, by David A. Moran of the Michigan Innocence Clinic, is a well written and compelling argument against setting a time limit. The opposing piece, by Wayne County Prosecuting Attorney Kym Worthy, argues in favor of the time limit because, of all things, justice demands finality. While I have no doubt that some sort of finality is important, shouldn't the real goal of our justice system be to make sure we aren't incarcerating innocent people? Or how about not wasting thousands of taxpayer dollars incarcerating innocent people? Or, hell, even making sure that we have the actual guilty criminals behind bars and not continuing their crimes on our streets? Why is it that it sure as hell seems prosecutors are a lot more interested in adding another victory notch to their belt on their way to running for higher office than justice?
I've read this piece by Brian Dickerson and I'm honestly not sure what point he's making about the tea party--I'm not even sure it's necessarily your usual mainstream media goop about the tea party. Outwardly, he is discussing the success of the tea party and its seeming lack of leaders, but is he subtly questioning this assumption? How come he never made mention of the New Yorker's Jane Mayer's piece about the Koch brothers' stealth financial support of the tea party? How come there was no mention of Dick Armey's Freedomworks and their behind the scenes structuring of the tea party? No idea, but I have a feeling he missed a good opportunity to educate his readers.
Quote of the week: "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." Often attributed to the first American Literature Nobel Laureate, Sinclair Lewis (interesting discussion of the source of the quote here), has anyone seen or heard a quote that better sums up the tea party ("Fucking idiots!" doesn't count)? Check this out for its "newfound" ties to the religious right....

Area (Park) 51
Leaving aside the constitutionality of the Park 51 Islamic Center (so convenient for conservatives to scream about the constitution until it serves their purposes to ignore it), the one argument conservatives make that just kills me is the one that goes, more or less, that we'll open an Islamic Center two blocks from Ground Zero when Arab nations allow construction of Christian churches in said nations. What the fuck? Aren't conservatives so fond of touting the superiority of America, the superiority of Christianity, the superiority of our ideals--and now we want to be like them by refusing to allow the construction of a religious building that offends some people? Really? We want to sink to their level of disrespect for other religions?
Conservative idiocy would be funny if it wasn't so utterly pathetic (and demeaning to everything America stands for).
