The only thing that keeps Republicans up at night is their fear that government can be shown to work, which is why their every effort is devoted to trying to tear down and cripple working government programs, public education, decent healthcare, libraries, etc.
It's why Trump hopes the economy crashes. It's why the GOP won't actually vote for stronger border policies. It's why they defund the IRS.

Did you watch the show “Good Times”?

50 years ago, Norman Lear brought the first nuclear Black family to prime-time television in 1974. It continues to garner appreciation for the way the show featured strong female characters, and gave Black women agency – on and off the set.

I don't quite understand how humans-us humans get so tripped up by paradoxes.

Life is a paradox. 👩‍🔬 👨‍🎤

Hydrogen and oxygen are 2 if the major building blocks for life, yet are incredibly dangerous to it.

Does the Hindenburg ring a bell? Now oxygen. That's the stuff of life, right? Let me introduce you a mortal enemy of mine. It's formed by the interaction of metal with oxygen.
:blobcatthink:
Rust!

Don't even get me started on drownings & fatal water intoxication!

You know what I think? I don't think that paradoxes exist. What we preceive as aparadox is just at the intersection of 2 different paradigms.

Neither of which, when separated, fully explain the other's plane.

If you ever need a reminder of how the Democrats are the party of the rule of the law and the Republicans are the party cowed by a mob boss, during the “impeachment inquiry” hearing in the House, the panel was asked to raise their hands if they believe that both Hunter and Trump should be held accountable if they are found guilty. The Democrats all raised their hands. None of the Republicans did.

Couldn’t Care Less About

The Biden administration embraces dictators and barely pretends to care whether US-allied regimes respect basic freedoms.

Biden believes that U.S. global power matters far more than freedom and democracy. As a result, he has totally ignored the pleas of human rights

Consider the case of Egypt. Earlier this month, the U.S. “approved $235 million in military aid for Egypt that it had withheld for the past two years

    It seems President Zelenskyy requested an opportunity to address a joint session of Congress, but that worm of a man, Kevin McCarthy, refused him. Kevin has always been a spineless coward, and he deserves every bit of misery coming to him as his own party turns on him.
