I share the worries, and agree that Trump 2.0 is going to be worse than even the pessimists predict. Almost nothing seems beyond the pale.
Can;t shut up about it, though. Anyway, I revel in my nobodyhood. There are millions of people who'd be ahead of me on any list of names to be rounded up.
• Seattle cop, fired two years after triple-the-speed-limit fatal wreck, appeals his firing
• Former Antioch police officer pleads guilty to threatening, intimidating residents
• ‘A thief and a crooked cop’: L.A. deputy committed crimes for crypto mogul, feds say
• Marquette police officer misconduct charge tied to OWI investigation
• Cop who assisted in killing George Floyd is released from prison
• Police chief who replaced chief charged with DUI is charged with DUI
• Spade tattoo revealed in L.A. deputy’s plea revives questions about Lakewood station gang
• Connecticut ex-cop notches his 20th arrest
• Son of a man who was beaten and died in a New York prison sues guards, officials
• Honolulu police officer arrested after allegedly strangling roommate
• Charleston County deputy charged with 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor
• Bakersfield resident captures confrontation with Border Patrol agent
Note: When reading news coverage from any corporate-owned source — a newspaper, TV station or network, etc — the facts are generally factual, but the slant favors the rich and powerful.

A glance at your post history shows a long collection of daily sneers like this one, aimed at what I'd call the 'ordinary' left. What's your intent? Do you fancy you'll convince folks of the errors in their thinking, by insulting them?
American born and raised, every president and nearly every politicians in my life has been a disappointment, or worse. But none yet have approached the cruelty, classlessness, and venality of today's schmuck.
No, I don't write that well. Only discovered the website this afternoon.
Being old, death gets my attention, so I read the obituaries. This is a collection of recent obits, including people whose work touched my life, because I want to say thanks (or maybe give 'em a final fuck you).

It’s time to take a good, hard look at whether Medicare Advantage plans are doing more harm than good.
Can someone explain to me what is even the point of this? Might as well ask the Gambino family to go straight.

It's really not, you're right. Sometimes my snark and pessimism get the best of me, sorry.
It's shameful to have reporters with emotions 'n stuff. The question should've been asked politely, softly, with a smile. Better yet, the question shouldn't have been asked. Genocide is bad, certainly, but we must have good manners and proper decorum.

I recently looked specifically for info on the separated kids, and all I could quickly find was an article saying the Biden administration had re-united several hundred families, but without any estimate of how many remained probably -permanently separated. Do you know a source for actual numbers on this?
Presidents are supposed to be professionals and should act like it and that includes not being a bad loser.
Apparently, you wrote the rule book and Biden and Harris are following it.
In another speech, or maybe the same one, he patted himself on the back for leaving Trump the strongest economy evah!
What I expect from Democrats in power is spinelessness and acquiescence, and they almost always deliver.
