Trump and Schmitt and their ilk are scared little men. That can't bear the normal evolution of society or, to use MLKs phrase, the moral arc of history. Their evident insecurity should be embarrassing to them, but they are so afraid of people who don't look or think like they do, that they fabricate reasons for excluding "others" from history and society. They may temporarily comfort themselves and their depraved family members and associates for a short time within the span of their own wretched little lives, but they can't reverse human progress.
Think of where our industrial revolution would be if the Indigenous Peoples were given equal rights in the eyes of the law. Happy day after Indigenous Peoples Day.
Lord Donald and his ilk are insulted by the concept that they are equal to the common people and because all that matters is money it's easy to make the numbers prove that to be untenable. How about including "In the eyes of the law" so we have "All men are equal in the eyes of the law." Which l think, makes more sense insofar as governance and legality. " God didn't make all men equal, Mr. Colt did." Frank Hopkins, watching Hidalgo with Omar Sharif. How about "All people are equal in the eyes of the law"
Not too long ago some dumbass in Florida said slaves benefited from slavery because they learned skills. Dumbass they were slaves, any skills trades or education they received only benefited their owners. Stupid sore losers can't handle the truth or deal with reality.
Note to "the Donald": you can make history, you can have a history, but you can't re-write history or sanitize it to fit your agenda. It is what it is, ugly though it may be. If it tells the truth, it has done its job, especially it keeps us from repeating past transgressions. And remember this: history has a memory that, no matter hard you may try, can't be edited or erased!
According to Trumpolini:Night is day and day is night and that is not "fake news'because what I tell you is the truth.
Americans;since when has common sense and common experience been replaced by the gospel according to Trumpolini.Wake up!!!You're heading toward a disaster of your own making.
I do not want a Christian Nationalist, Fascist, Authoritarian government. Please, if you are physically able, find a No Kings March near you and show up for peaceful protest. It will be this week, and we MUST demonstrate that America will not stand for allowing the GOP to collapsse our democracy. This is urgent. If we don't stand up for these racist (yes, they ARE racists, ot Christians) fools, we are lost.
We should consider protecting many of the symbols of our free and democratic society. We should safely stash those that we are able, ala the way Hitler's enemies did with art, books, and religious and cultural icons to keep them from his plunder. There remains very little difference between Hitler's rise and what's happening to America now. I fear that what differences exist will one by one fall into the "same as" column.
Regarding slavery, 100% true. Well said. Do you think humans will ever consider widening their circle of compassion to include 'animal slavery' which is booming in 2025 all over the world, and, of course in the U.S? Estimates are 10 million creature deaths every day just in this country, after living shortened, horrific lives, so we humans can have our 20 minutes of 'pleasure' at the dinner table. Just sayin'.
Or compassion for the wild life whose habitat is being destroyed and poisoned by mining and development. The environmental devastation that hydraulic fracturing is, causing the extinction of entire species of plants and animals and bringing on the climate change of the Anthropocene Age on planet Earth. Protect and preserve our National Parks and Federal Lands NOT For Sale or Lease!
The unfortunate truth is that there are many people who have more compassion for animals than for their fellow man, especially fellow men of another color, religiion, political persuasion.
We need to get focused on all life matters, not only humans. Look at all of the fuss people make about viral life, the life of viruses and l don't mean that reference to include tech support.
Our National Parks hold the Natural History of the Evolution of Life on our continent, North America. Although Washington, D.C. has gone into denial regarding the evolution of life and is blind to the fact that Life's creation throughout time is evolution. Opening their minds to believe in anything other than numbers of money units would reveal the truth that fossil fuel extraction essentially strips away millions of years of evolutionary development and mining is revealing so many more dinosaur skeletons plant and other fossils. Actually, it's creation AND evolution.

Our national parks were the single greatest draw for foreign tourists,but tRump has eleminated foreign tourism
Another wonderful episode from you, Jim!
I'd missed one more awful thing from my junior Missouri senator. Thanks for the info. Quite frankly, he's worse than Hawley.

Seems to me that the Roman Empire crucified Jesus for saying that the poor ain't so bad. Wasn't Jesus actually a man of darkly pigmented skin tone?

You nail it every time 😊🙏👍

My heart goes out to the wildlife roadkill, which is abundant in my area.
Carry on, sir.
Once again, THANK YOU!
