Is there intent, capability and opportunity? If not, the person is not a threat. Just 'being afraid' is not enough.

This formula is based on morality.

We are waaaayyyyyyy past partisanship here in the US, imo.

Waaaaaayyyy past.

Calling to hang the VP and shoot the speaker in the head has nothing to do wth partisanship.

If folks don't want to investigate the January 6 insurrection, the reasons are simple.

Either they have something to hide about their own involvement or they've kissed the ring, bent the knee, and don't give a shit about American Democracy anymore.

Partisanship is irrelevant at this point.

Some people say that in order for a January 6 commission to work it should be bipartisan. They're deluded if they think Republicans in any significant number will proceed in good faith.

They spent years bragging about lying to Obama and telling him they'd work with him and then pulling the football. They're Lucy.

They openly, knowingly lie about the election.

Republicans in states across the country are now passing laws that make it legal to run over a protestor with a vehicle.

They want legalized murder of people demonstrating for their rights.

Waaaaaayyyyyy past partisanship.

Exactly as expected.

Waaaaaayyyyyy past partisanship, just that those dirty rotten republicans are always fucking things up.

There are people opposite that point of view saying and doing the exact same thing DT, and that leaves us in an ever winding spiral straight downward because neither can ever take their foot off of the gas pedal long enough to maybe listen to something outside their respective bubbles.

Looks like former CIA director Brennan sees some partisanship. He says that Republicans are putting partisanship over country.

I think he's wrong. There's no partisanship when a group is flip-flopping all over the place on their own long-held values.

What's being done is putting power over country. Permanent rule over the Constitution. With a stacked court of judges who think it's just fine to limit voting.

That ain't partisan.

It's unAmerican.

Beau talks about being 'woke' and the DOD. He's responding to a viewer's questions.

"The OSS wanted PhDs who could win a bar fight. "

"Progress? Intellectuals? Accepting other people? Historically these things don't actually lead to the downfall of a country."

"Rejecting process, staying very closed off, failing to recognize reality, a bad understanding of history, these things, they have led to the downfall of nations."

Miners have been on strike for a month. (I hope they don't decide to protest. They might get run over).

(I'm not actually searching for white, red-bearded guys...)

This two minute video defines racism and prejudice amazingly succinctly.

If the video doesn't come up, this is the twitter link.

We may not be able to rid ourselves of prejudice, but we can certainly put an end to the systemic practices.

With a great deal of effort.

Synchronistically, Carpo's recent video is about how people do change. And in this case, some folks might think it's good. Some may not.

Those that can't appreciate change for the good are a branch Davidian of human souls.

Sort of off topic but I once had a ginger manager that was a Lieutenant Commander on a nuclear sub then in the reserves. He was a champion of a guy and his mother was Mexican. Amazing! But he was a Republican ...
