It's all it's ever been. It's also true for all of us really. The difference is the interest in promoting a warped form of liberty-that's-actually-authoritarian, or, well, liberty.

Good to see another spate of judicial appointments recently, including some in states that are likely to be very tightly contested in future elections (such as Ohio and Georgia).

At least six people have been killed and 10 injured in a shooting in the centre of Sacramento, police in California's state capital say.

Yeah, but it's in California, which tries to be sensible on guns within Federal Law. So that proves that no restrictions at all work, or something.

Time for another post of "'MURICA!!! LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!!1 "

Posted on this occasion without comment...

















...except to quote one of the biggest arch-icons of 20th century American Conservatism, Barry Goldwater - whom your respective deity only knows what the "Reel 'muricans" would say about him these days.

What is it they say? The moment the umbilical cord is cut is when Repugs stop caring about life...?

I can't remember the exact state at the moment but their local Republican party are campaigning to remove the minimum age restriction for marriage

A cynical person could reach the conclusion that it's all really about controlling women.

The pro-life thing does look a bit suspect when you see Covid performance by state...

I think Atwood wrote a book about that.

Actual US Senator. What is it about Obama that she might say this?

I think he'd be doing a better job...

In most Western countries Ms. Taylor-Greene would have been sectioned by now.

She hasn't even lost the whip.
