to offer any criticism of foreign policy as it’s been waged on a bipartisan basis.
Sen. Murphy tweets:
“Current American foreign policy in a nutshell, as endorsed by SCOTUS: Step 1: Bomb country (e.g. Syria, Yemen, Libya) Step 2: Creating humanitarian nightmare inside Step 3: Then lock desperate families inside, throw away key.”
that aggressive tactics nearly always pay off for Republicans–and the Democratic Establishment is just as consistently petrified at the thought of responding in kind?
This fall, American Ballet Theatre brings back Balanchine’s masterpiece of student instruction as well as sublime balletic reimaging of one of the world’s greatest pieces of music.
Call it a Balanchine Personal Statement, like something you write for an entrance application.
Maria Tallchief likened dancing it to taking your medicine every day, but I don’t think that’s how we in the audience feel.
Witticisms and allusions abound: will never forget the “girls” at ABT laughing and emitting irreverent groans as they cranked into position a la Coppelia during the concluding Presto!
* subject of my first published writing on dance!
Mark Schumer at Daily Kos peels back the civility scam:
“While the right punches, the press plays stenographer, and when the left fights back, they declare fighting out of bounds.”
What in the world got into them?
Or was this editorial written by a single reactionary, head-in-the-sander or worse, Trump-normalizer?
Anti-Trumpists lectured because they’ve had it with Trump’s toxic, inflammatory hate speech and hate actions?
Was Huckabee Sanders treated to the slurs and hate rhetoric that she mouths or endorses on a daily basis? And what about her frequent attacks on a free press? Ya comfortable with that, WP? A president who calls any media criticism of his North Korea visit “almost treasonous”?
What, btw, has the Democrats chronic civility accomplished?
The rise of Fox “News” and Donald Trump. And Democracy on the blink.
As Jake Johnson notes on Common Dreams:
Pelosi and Schumer “didn’t issue a single word of public criticism of their fellow Democrats for voting to deregulate Wall Street and hand President Donald Trump immense spying powers, but on Monday the Democratic Party heads lectured their colleagues and grassroots activists on the need for ‘civility’ in the face of Trump’s vicious attacks on immigrant families, the poor, and the planet.”
Pelosi and Schumer are working beaverishly to ensure the Democrats are defeated in November.
In another brazenly biased and partisan decision, Roberts’ court says it’s OK to discriminate on the basis of religion and ethnicity.
Can we all now agree that Obama’s capitulation to Sen. McConnell’s putsch against the Constitution was a complete disaster for America?
The Little Colonel’s sterling civility was clearly on view then, wasn’t it?
And today, after illegally-installed Neil Gorsuch’s latest disastrous assent, McConnell’s retinue is gloating on Twitter.
The Democratic civility ninnies have to shut the hell up.
in Elizabeth von Armin’s The Enchanted April, published in 1922, was “having a a violent reaction against beautiful clothes and the slavery they impose on one, her experience being that the instant one has got them they took one in hand and gave one no peace till they had been everywhere and been seen by everybody. You didn’t take your clothes to parties; they took you.”
It can’t be too racist or rigged for their satisfaction.
Roberts’ gutting the Voting Rights Act was just the beginning.
Could the Dems please get out of their consultant-engineered alternate universe and make judicial appointments an election issue?
on the right-wing’s trademark lies and projection.
Has your father hate-tweeted any more racist posts, lately, Mme. Press Secretary?
We know that your boss has.
