#4 May your hand display all 13 spades tonight, Coriolanus.

#2 In 1929, the mob created a hit team and named it Murder, Inc..

But I'm pretty sure that they didn't actually file with the appropriate Secretary of State for incorporation.

Now, here we are almost a century later and today's organized crime adventurers thugs are actually filing with the appropriate Secretary of State for incorporation.

#4 Morris highlights two realities in one on-target post:

"Watching the US descend into Fascism due to the ignorance of the public is damned depressing."

He scoffed at the idea.

And here we are, almost 30 years later, the Fascists Republican Party have absolute power in all of Washington DC, From Article 1 through Article 3, and Americans lag behind in all the important metrics vis-a-vis education level and the ability to independently think.

Very Newsworthy, Morris, as sad as that reality is.

Very Newsworthy.

Thank you.

#64 How about we start taxing the uber-wealthy who have, for the past 40 years, been able to dodge their financial responsibilities that provide them with a country that protects them and their money and their property?

Not to mention the fact that this country has given them, the uber-wealthy, a nation of publicly educated wage-earners who can afford to buy their products/services?

How about that?

Afterall, ingratitude is a Cardinal Sin.

...we're going to flood the zone," Homan brayed. "You're going to see more ICE agents than you've ever seen before. So, congratulations."

And because all of the country's (and, indeed, the world's) media have plenty of presence in America's largest city, cameras and microphones will be everywhere, and broadcast, nightly for all of America - and the world - to see. Think the Twin Cities on steroids.

And all of this just ahead of the Fall mid-term elections. Helping to cement in the minds of America just how horrible Trump and his thugs really are. Helping Democratic candidates ... everywhere!

So, congratulations, Mr. Bags-o-Money.

#1 That is 100% true, Coriolanus.

Just as it is 100% true that criticism of the American government is not being anti-patriotic.

In fact, as is the definite case with the war criminal Bibi in Israel, I would argue that it is the most patriotic thing an American can do is to criticize Trump and his thugs ...

.... just as it is incumbent upon the citizens of Israel, to demonstrate their love of Judaism and their shared history, to also criticize the war criminal running Israel.

Thank you for posting your comment, Coriolanus, and for this thread.

#53 Well, that ("Pretty sure that's why RCade keeps me around") ...

... plus, you're a good person, Clown.

Did you know that America is a democratic republic?

#50 That is absolutely perfect, Clown.

Wish I could give it more than just one Funny flag!

So I'll throw in a N/W flag for good measure.

Good one, Clown!

So, where does that leave you, Major DEI Boazo?
