Sorry I do my Commentary in the Title bar

[Ralph Wiggum]

HoustonGuy, here's an example of how to do this.

Cyrano

We're far, far beyond decency, swamps, sewers ...
Here’s the reality of Trump and his enablers: No lie is too big. There is no bottom. There is no such thing as wrong, despicable, inhumane, “evil.” There are only Trump’s wishes, wants, needs, desires, whims, “reality.”

“Mueller’s investigation has gone on too long. End it now!”

“Mueller and his investigators are Democrats!”

“Witch Hunt!”

“Fake News!”

“Hugest crowds ever!”

“Mexicans rapists!”

“Muslim terrorists!”

“All those women we’re lying!”

“John McCain is dying anyway.”

Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren are … umm, … (the “c” word).

Joe Arpaio, and wannabe Alabama senator Roy Moore, -- great Americans.”

“Lock her up! Lock her up!”

“Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Adam Schiff -- making things up. (Yeah, but, what do you expect? They have Jewish names.)”

All that's missing is the declaration from the orange creature in the White House, that: “L’etat, c’est mois”; the statement by King Louis XIV of France that literally meant, “The state am I.” (Or, --I am the state, the country, the king, the ruler, the final word. I Am In Charge. Nothing matters but what I say. Nothing matters but what I want to do. Nothing matters but ME. ME. ME.)

Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, et. al., were educated men. They knew about people like Caligula, Nero, Vlad the Impaler, and virtually every other monstrous villain in history. They knew about The Crusades, The Inquisition, The Salem Witch Trials, The … oh hell, they knew about all the dangers of demented people in power oppressing humanity.

So they came up with the Constitution of the United States of America.

And, yes, they knew they couldn’t cover and protect all the horrors that could befall humanity. But, Jesus ****ing Christ. You’ve really got to give these brilliant men all the credit in the world for understanding human nature; for understanding “The Dark Side,” and for trying to foresee, prevent and reign it in.

The deaths of the American Civil War, the Holocaust, the Killing Fields of Cambodia, the countless other horrors that humans have, and still, inflict on other humans, are virtually impossible to prevent. Seems that whether anyone likes or dislikes it, approves or disapproves of it, mass murder and inhumanity are built into human nature.

So what now? Vote?

At this moment, our obedience to our Constitution really does seem like a death pact. Will we survive Trump? Pence? The Republican Party?

Who knows? If you could throw a message into a bottle in the middle of this sea of terror, and hope it was found and acted upon, what would it say? “Help”?

That doesn't seem to be good enough.

So I guess it's going to be left to history to judge what we Americans were willing to do about the horror that's befallen us.

That is the custom. Some of us don't care to crawl around the cesspool that is DU.

Also, it's a lot handier for when threads get deleted.  Which we all know how often that happens over on the island.

Aw, cmon man! Put on those hip waders and jump in with us!

Like BH said, DUpipo more than occasionally decide they went too far and delete their posts. So Quoting them sometimes does the service of preserving their unwisdom for the sake of posteriority. BTW, within the first day or so of a deletion Google often has the original post in cache. I think The MasterNematode is a charter member of the DUpipo Frequent Deleters Club; he's reliably entertaining.

This could work, too . . .



Probably more in line with DU.
