Oh boy.
As of an hour ago, Strzok’s interview was still going and has been described as “Orwellian”:

I’m sorry, misspatty. It’s so frustrating and infuriating to attempt to get through to that mindset.

<----- still pissed at Stein voters No shit. Today my wounds from election night were ripped wide open. I remember crying and H saying, we have checks and balances and a supreme court for a reason. Your right to xyz won't be taken away. Fuck every person who didn't vote or protest vote or wrote in Bernie Fucking Sanders. And fuck Mitch Fucking McConnell.

Basically I have no space in my life for people who choose to embrace their privilege, bury their heads in the sand, and ignore the world burning around them. The ones who vote third party or don’t vote at all and say things like, “It’s not that bad, it always works out!” Because they are not the targeted group. 👏👏👏👏👏

Dr. Cox I get you. I want to cancel our annual summer visit to see family that we have scheduled for next month. We do not want to be around people who think any of this is okay or claim apathy.

Still in a rage coma so apologies if I don’t word good or missed the point entirely, which is totally possible. They’ve been grilling him all day, and I’m guessing he’s not giving them what they want so they keep asking him the same shit over and over trying to trip him up. ETA: Here’s an article from CNN on it -

This makes me want to cry.
Basically, in the last seven presidential elections, only once has the Republican won the popular vote and yet, they now control every branch of government and are transforming the court for a generation.

How are these people protesting during the day? Don't they have jobs like the rest of us? I thought you were being sarcastic since this is what the GOP said after the women’s march. I'm just catching up, but absolutely yes. I stay at home and also worked evenings as a librarian. Not all jobs are 9 to 5.

How I see the next...indefinite amount of time going. Hell, I feel like this has happened here on HIH multiple times in the last year. I love GD and I get wanting a place where you can escape from the shit going on in the world, but the attitude there that everyone on Politics is Chicken Little is old and stale. I don’t see how it is possible to be political aware and socially liberal and not feel very alarmed at the path the USA is on right now. ☹️

And fuck the people on the left who uncritically spread propaganda (some of it certainly from Russia) to discredit Hillary. Even the people who eventually “held their noses and voted for her” did that shit and it absolutely contributed to the poisonous political climate in which Trump was elected. But mostly fuck Donald Trump, the GOP, and anyone who actually voted for that orange shithole.

Dr. Cox I get you. I want to cancel our annual summer visit to see family that we have scheduled for next month. We do not want to be around people who think any of this is okay or claim apathy. I was telling my husband about the tweet earlier that related how in the 1930s Jewish people were advised to be civil to the Nazis. It is so frustrating because if I get fired up and angry about issues, my parents tone police me or say they don't know enough about the issue to have an opinion. I am so sick of it. Civility gets you nowhere.

Civility gets you nowhere. I’ve been having this convo on repeat w/ my mom for the last year. I think it’s starting to sink in, but it’s been eye-opening seeing how hard it is for her to grasp that the valuation of civility above all else is a tool used to uphold white supremacy in this country.

Not only does civility get us no where, it’s really disrespectful to the people who are literally facing life or death or other various v. bad situations due to what is going on.
Like I heard a black comedian say today that he hears Nancy Pelosi calling for civility and thinks “yeah, she doesn’t have to worry about what I worry about” and he hears Maxine Waters say to resist at every turn and he knows she understands.

I know it’s been argued about my entire life and I know that access to abortions have decreased significantly over the years, but I really, honestly never thought there’d be a realistic chance that Roe v Wade would be overturned in my lifetime. I’m pretty shaken that it’s heading that way.

I am still so angry. I want democrats to keep repeating what Turtle shit did to Merrick and to keep repeating that Cheeto is under investigation. AND PLEASE HARP ON THE NUMBER OF INDICTMENTS AND GUILTY PLEAS COMIMG OUT OF THE INVESTIGATION!!!!
They have to block that appointment and we have to make them. I want every delay, stall, and fillabuster whatever the gop wants to work on. Grind everything to a halt. If he’s able to put any Mercer judge in that seat he will get away with everything.

I'm okay with the prevalent "we're fucked" sentiment today, as long as we all wake up tomorrow ready to fight again. But I feel like some mourning is in order today.
