Eve, regarding the senate protests (‘wheelchair’ incident)… the protesters intentionally removed themselves from their chairs in order to lay on the floor, according to Capitol Police. In my earlier response, I stated that doing so was wrong, without knowing specifically what you were referring to. (I took your advice and read some of your earlier pieces).

This was where they overstepped the bounds of their freedom; they were obstructing or otherwise impacting others, such as staffers, tourists, and so on. Capitol Police asked them to end their protest, and they chose not to. Oh well. I don’t see a problem with the consequences of their decision — which they were free to make.

Senator Portman, of Ohio, was reportedly told that he would be thrown into the unemployment line if he voted for the bill being protested. Now, I can get behind that if they were alluding to the next election cycle. That’s a form of protest that occurs on a predictable cycle!

Regarding the GOP’s grooming of the US for fascism… I don’t buy it. The right is always demonized — just throw something out there, like babies and old people dying because of this or that. Tiresome.

Fascism is imbued with violence, we’re told. And yet the anti-fascists have no problem with resorting to violence if you don’t agree with them. They should not be bound by the constraints of law and order.

In effect, they are more fascist than those they oppose, in this case, President Trump and his GOP minions. The irony is not lost.

    Every day, it seems, some hysterical, scaremongering waste-of-skin spews nonsense. I do the needful and call bullshit. So many days, though, and so little time.
