I sense a new masthead slogan for the New York Times. "We Print all the Gibbering Bullshit in One Neat Package"

See, the thing is, those Republicans may have voted correctly, but for the wrong reasons. They had extremism in their hearts.

Why are there never any "far-left," "ultra-left," "hard-left" people in Congress?

Headline = “Democrats with the support of their ultra MAGA allies save Democracy!”

Self-lobotomizing is why hardly anyone reads the Times; most people are just not into self-inflicted brain damage. Though I appreciate you damaging your brain to inform us.

'the story also tells you that the extremist, Trump-hypnotized Freedom Caucus of far-right nutjobs…joined…Democrats in…uh.'

It's even worse when you do the math. 209 Democrats and 19 Republicans. Yet the whole thing can be laid at the feet of of the 19 evil Republicans.

They moved so hard to the right that they went all the way around the world and landed with the democrats.

I feel like I could respond to nearly every one of Chris's articles with, "These fbomb people!!!"

Feeling contempt for my fellow American is unhealthy, but I'm finding it hard to keep an open heart when I continue to read about their antics.

I think it is Ryan Gardner who often writes, "We are only asking to be left alone..."

These hall-monitors just cannot keep to themselves. Everything is about getting in our business, so far that now they want to empower the government to do it. That is a lot of hate.

We want to be left alone, but sadly they want to tell us how to live. It may not be reconcilable.

Didn't the DNC try (or want to) to censor people's *text messages* over "covid misinformation" and "vaccine hesitancy"?

Started watching 30 Rock with the wife - I'd never seen it during its initial run - and boy is it ever an interesting time capsule. One episode we recently watched had Baldwin's Jack Donaghy character - a c. 2002 - Aaron Sorkin - boogeyman GW Bush - Bill O'Reilly era Fox news "republican" - backslap another old GOP crony during a boozy party in the attempt to get the top GE job by joking, "ya wiretapping old bastard!".

Reading about Democrats *now*, they're making the Nixon White House look like Little House on the Prairie.

Yes, a lobotomy with one of those weird hex-headed screwdrivers.

Hooray for the Constitutional Conservatives who stood up for the 4th Amendment.

Man, I wish I could read the NYT comments to see if any actual subscribers were allowed to point that out.
