We are at a place we have never been before.

[kentuck]

People are looking for a precedent. There is not one.

We are left with our own instincts and our inward compass.

It is similar to a war zone. We have to improvise daily in order to make progress.

We cannot afford to go into a deep sleep or let our guard down.

We are fighting for our democracy.

The enemy is determined and delusional.

We must defeat their delusions.

1. Time to focus.

Ignore the wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Eyes on the prize.

[LakeArenal]

2. All of which I believe Garland has right at the top of his mind.

[Ron Green]

3. Not to mention that, due to unprecedented environmental and planetary degradation,

the smartest thing humans can now do is to embrace recession and economic de-growth.

Find me a politician who’ll run on THAT.

7. Yes, that politician has my vote as well.

People here still cheer our economy which is based upon GDP. GDP is the fast track into a climate-catastrophe withered dystopian wasteland.

4. Precedent is irrelevant

It will be unprecedented if I murder someone because I have never murdered anyone and never will. And I probably won’t be able to use that as a defense. Your honor this murder is unprecedented because I (and people like me) have never done it before ergo I’m innocent. To whit presiding judge ergos my ass to jail.

Fuck conservative logic.

And isn’t Lindsay so pathetic, a U S Senator (R) calling for violence? Bring it on General Lindsay. Your side will lose because your side is the wrong side. However there may be some consideration if you can prove you are saying what you are saying because you are being blackmailed.

9. Hear, hear!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. If only there was a force beyond us. Higher than us. Not apparent:)

[dchill]

6. "We must defeat their delusions."

Wow! Excellent turn of phrase! 👍

[NBachers]

8. We need to donate to our candidates like never before.
