Mike Fanone is a national treasure

And should be elevated as an example of fighting back.

2. He's fearless. Flippin' the bird at Republican members of the committee.

The highlight of my day.

3. If Fanone would have cold cocked that guy

Then who could really blame him? That..."guy" threatened to rape Fanones kids. That troll would have had it coming to him.

Seems airport idiot has a boner over nothing

And a cop jumped out from behind the barbicide....

Or out of the Barbicide, . One of my uncles was a barber, so that brings back memories. He was Italian, left Italy in the 1920s, and one by one sponsored over his family (when that required work and actual $$ commitment). He married my Dad's older sister, who came as a toddler from Czarist Russia with her parents, who saw what was coming (and did a decade later).

Oh, yeah, DU onlurkers, I am so-o-o-oooooo anti-immigrant!

Hair salons are chatty-gossipy places, and I'm sure a Prog woman would eventually come to patronize one whose workers have similar socio-political views. DU-grade Progs cut family and friends with differing views out of their lives, so a hairdresser having and voicing anti-Trump views is at least plausible.

This MAGAt (how pathetic are DUpipo when they can't even spell their own juvenile nickname for people they hate correctly?!):

* Has worked among speakers of Vietnamese, Spanish, Mandarin, Tagalog, and Cantonese for some 45 years;

* Has attended, for over 17 years, a church that at various times has had black, Hispanic, Iranian, Indian, Korean, Assyrian, and Taiwanese (that I can remember) leaders and pastors; the current executive pastor, of several years, is Korean;

* Our previous church of nearly 20 years had black, Hispanic, and Taiwanese pastoral staff, and hosted (with the pastor being on staff) an Amharic-speaking church;

* Supported his munchkins' travels to non-touristy parts of Fiji, Cambodia, Thailand, Egypt, South Sudan, India, and China; in the latter, the pertinent munchkin spent several years learning Mandarin and earned the Chinese equivalent of a Liberal Arts degree in a Chinese university (all classes in Mandarin).

Oh, yeah, I'm so-o-o-oooooooo racist, DU onlurkers ... and I am not unique among fellow Cave-People, other than some specifics.

There is a progression. I think, from:

* I don't think that happens, to

* That's just an outlying crazy, to

* Some do that but that isn't my friends, to

* Oh, crap, I'm in the sane minority, to

* I can't be that, to

* Leaving and letting family, friends, and acquaintances know of the change of heart.

The stages don't have solid boundaries, and progressing from one stage to the next takes time and thought. There is significant reluctance, I think, to move to recognition of being in the "sane minority". It's uncomfortably close to admitting, "I've been wrong."
