I don't see many liberal apologists for violent individuals involved. I'm certainly not one. A great many involved were convicted and arrested. No one is talking about pardoning them unlike the Jan 6 scum...Jan 6 was worse than 9/11. It was an attack from within. Same type of people who are buying flamethrowers and AR/AK's.

For once, I agree with MTG and this drone expert quoted in the article. Of course the gov't knows what they are. https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-says-government-control-new-jersey-drones-2001005 Newsweek previously spoke to drone expert Vijay Kumar, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. He was skeptical of rumors that the drones were being sent by a foreign state actor, and suggested the evidence pointed toward it being a U.S. government operation.

They clearly know what these are. Why not let the country know too? I can't think of a reason that's good.

Krugman's latest NYT column. I think he nails it https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/opinion/elites-euro-social-media.html?unlocked_article_code=1.gU4.3jHh.DpQbOQmvcOva&smid=re-share that while resentment can put bad people in power, in the long run it can’t keep them there. At some point the public will realize that most politicians railing against elites actually are elites in every sense that matters and start to hold them accountable for their failure to deliver on their promises. And at that point the public may be willing to listen to people who don’t try to argue from authority, don’t make false promises, but do try to tell the truth as best they can. -
Any details on this? Or is this standard “progressive” pearl clutching? There have been statements worrisome for limitations on birth control. in his first term he made3 it optional for employers to provide insurance coverage for contraception. The quote from Justice Thomas at the end of this piece is particularly concerning. If the gov't, even on a state level enact restriction, they restrict couples freedom in the bedroom re contraception. Who wants to use condoms? Why should the gov't determine what is the allowed method(s). https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Wellness/trump-birth-control-contraception/story?id=115612508 When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, a solo concurring opinion by Justice Clarence Thomas included a line on birth control. In his opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the court "should reconsider" Griswold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court ruling that invalidated a Connecticut law that made it illegal to use birth control devices or to advise about their use. "We have a duty to 'correct the error' established in those precedents," Thomas wrote, citing the Griswold ruling among others.

yeah, I got that. trump pardoned his son in law's scumbag dad who was just made ambassador to France. I despise any of these pardons. Crime shouldn't pay. No one, including presidents, should be above the law. https://www.yahoo.com/news/did-donald-trump-pardon-know-195240950.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall

We had a dinner party Friday pm. 7 other progressives at the table. All agreed with the general sentiments that we were shocked and upset for 3-5 days but then stopped watching news and concentrated on our personal futures. Everyone there is pretty well positioned in that regard and feels secure. As long as the stock market stays strong and the new regime stays out of our living rooms, it'll be fine. Sadly, we've pivoted to the MAGA mindset of "what is best for me". That appears to be the way to cope for many. Then again, none of us are child bearing aged females.
