I was going to post it in response to this comment:
To repeat myself, Trump is the USAian symptom of a worldwide outbreak of authoritarian asshats which shows no sign of decreasing in velocity. Modi is a typical example of this.
Possibly a Gallery of Assholes That Shouldnât Exist? There are a great many people who qualify for membership in the G.O.A.T.S.E. club.
Stacking the courts with idiots and cry babies. The trash heap of civilization comes closer every day.
ASSHOLES. Every mthrfking one of them.
âThe New York Times has reported that Boeing even co-wrote a 2018 law signed off by Donald Trump, which in effect put the safety approvals process in the hands of airline companies. A whistleblower has told the committee that Boeing puts its boot on FAA managersâ throats, pressuring them to overrule their own safety experts.â
Flying home for the Holidays?
Well, he needs to be censured. Maybe lose his seat on Judiciary.
GAH!!! Make it stopâŚ
Because Iâve seen folks link to Quillette pieces:

What Quillette is essentially doing is repackaging these white nationalist ideas in milder, pseudo-intellectual form and selling them to liberals who arenât reading closely.
One last middle finger to decency on the way out the doorâŚ
Also Kentuckyâs own shitty Trump clone now has his own quid pro quo:
In one case, Bevin pardoned a man convicted of homicide. That manâs family raised more than $20,000 at a political fundraiser to help Bevin pay off a debt owed from his 2015 gubernatorial campaign.
Added bonus: he gave a full pardon to a white guy accused of murdering someone and tampering with physical evidence after the fact, but only reduced the sentence of a black guy on death row to life with the possibility of parole. (The story of the black guyâs trial is fuckinâ bonkers in the most infuriating way, btw) Get a load of this language, too:
âPatrick Baker [the white guy] is a man who has made a series of unwise decisions in his adult life,â Bevin wrote in his pardon letter dated Dec. 6, adding that evidence in his conviction was âsketchy at best.â
Bevin commuted his sentence to life in prison with the possibility of parole, writing that Wilson [the black guy] received "the short end of the justice stick. ⌠Regardless of the final resolution of future parole board hearings, Mr. Wilson at least deserves an equal opportunity for justice to be served."
Once again, white guys make mistakes, black guys get the âjustice stickâ.
Oh, and he also pardoned a guy who sexually assaulted a 15-year-old kid with a dildo, causing severe internal injuries. On tape. And then distributed it.
Classy.
I hate this fucking guy so much.
Bye, Felipe.
May God have mercy upon your soul, for I shall not.
One less DINO? Iâm fine with that.
Lindsey Graham joins McConnell in the âloudly and proudly declaring their intention to violate their oath of officeâ club.
