Marco Rubio's party staged a failed coup THIS MONTH, and their leader is a reality TV star.
But more than that, what does Marco Rubio want to do with all this time that's being wasted? Is it not leaving him enough time to not-pass all the House bills his party has failed to vote on for years?

It was not 4 weeks ago that Republicans tried to overthrow our democracy and we're supposed to go pretending they're a legitimate party that should be allowed access to government buildings, it's crazy.
Literally 1 week ago the Republican Secretary of State mocked the very idea of diversity and ever since then every Republican has done everything they can to sabotage any act of functioning government all while whining about failed unity and how unfairly they've been treated.

I honestly think it’s been so long since this guy has said anything he believes that he no longer knows what he believes, or whether he ever believed anything, and when he dreams, he dreams of endless falling.
Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham are in a fierce competition over which of them can sell their soul for less.
Marco Rubio met the devil at the crossroads with his guitar and when the devil appeared Marco gave the devil the guitar and his soul and just told the devil to pay whatever he thought it was worth.

I really hate the phrase "political divide," which seems designed to paper over the fact that we have a major political party that's actively trying to demolish democracy in order to establish a genocidal autocratic police state.

The divide is real but it isn't the problem.
The reason big houses should rethink conservative publishing is because the GOP is actively trying to demolish democracy in order to establish a genocidal autocratic police state, and while there's money to be made from publishing them, nobody should want to make money that way.
I'm not really trying to single out Publisher's Weekly, it's just "political divide" is an all-pervasive phrase unhelpful b/c it locates the problem with the divide rather than the cause.

It would be better replaced by "white supremacist autocracy" in almost all cases.

Conservatives mean two separate things whenever they talk about "cancel culture."

One is social consequence for an exposed pattern of empowered abuse. They hate it.

The other is strategic coordinated outrage abusing a target over an invented/minor infraction. They love it.
Conservatives love to blur the lines.

They pretend that the first one is the second one, when one of their own has been caught abusing their power for years.

Conservatives love to engage in the second one under the auspices of the first one, when they see the opportunity.
It's easy to blur the lines, because in both cases you have outraged people, and often a person losing their job.

The way you can tell: watch patterns of abuse.

Look who argues to protect abusers from the abused. Look who chooses to defend the powerful from the less powerful.

No infant has ever been coddled by a loving mother as thoroughly and lavishly as Trump and his followers were coddled by U.S. media.
No outrage was ever their fault. Every antisocial act excused by their pain. Every slur really just a joke. Every statement parsed for—and automatically receiving—the most charitable possible interpretation. Every momentary lapse to normalcy praised and taped to the refrigerator.
The US media has showed tomorrow’s monsters just how nightmarishly elastic they will be when faced with the challenge of normalizing the behaviors and beliefs of white racists and fascists. There was no limit.

Megyn Kelly, a racist, very much wants them to stay that way.

Ah yes that was the problem, Biden’s approach.
Addressing clear and present dangers to everyone’s lives is very divisive.
Biden needs zero Republicans to sign on to anything. Just kill the filibuster and pass everything with 50 votes and either bribe Joe Manchin or frighten him.

I would give thanks to The Lord for allowing me to observe a demonstration in self-sufficiency from two proud principled men who I know would rather die than take something they didn’t work for themselves.
I would simply have chosen to not fall to my death.
God put them on the cliff for a reason, just like He put me at the top of the cliff next to all these ropes and ladders for a reason. His ways are not for me to question, and His perfect plan is not for me to disrupt.
