Everyone involved in this effort to nullify a free, fair, and honest election deserves the harshest measures that the legal system has available. The takeover of the Capitol may have had some semblance of spontaneity... that can no longer be accepted as truth. This was planned from the Trump White House. I wonder how much "Kochaine" was floating around.
The current GOP deserves to disintegrate after this. Most seem to have followed the script, and those deserve unending disgrace.
True, but unlikely. Today's GOP isn't even interested in being a winning version of its older self. As a party, it's more than happy to rule by fiat, and it's working hard to make that happen.
Yes. Sorry to say, but these days, what deserves to happen, rarely does.
At some point, you guys are going to have to pull your heads out of your asses and start thinking more like Americans instead of self serving Leftists and Democrats. If not, America is going to cut ties and withdraw it's support and leave you guys behind to rot/die.
Dude, we Leftists and Democrats are Americans. Remember well that many Americans do not look like you, do not hold the same religious beliefs, and have cultural traditions that you would find alien. Obviously I would not fit in well in any Koreatown, but it has traditions just as valid as yours or mine.
What matters is the respect that people have for work, sobriety, enterprise, community, innovation, integrity, imagination, and formal learning. None of those is itself adequate for a good life. This has been so since America mitigated its racism.
I look at the credits for Pixar animated films and I see lots of Korean names.
Your side, should it cut its ties to my side, will miss much. My side has the creativity and talent. My side prefers education to superstition.
