And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
I looked it up, the Lincoln speech Biden just invoked came from Dec 1862, so, as the Civil War was actively exploding in earnest.

I just thought that was worth pointing out; these things probably aren't accidents?

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.

Also real glad to see so many calm posters here watching an attempted coup over a loving game show host led by people who would rip Pelosi or Cortez limb from limb on live video if they had the chance but, hey, I guess storming the capitol building while chanting USA uSA is no biggie.

I don't even like Biden but his little speech was fine. He called it a riot/insurrection/sedition and is leaning real hard into being the opposite of Trump at a time when all decent people want Trump strung up.

Even hypothetical president elect Sanders wouldn't go up there and yell BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GODS or something. Some of y'all are too committed to your gimmicks, man.

Biden coming down and saying they're going to be prosecuted isn't going to make these people just magically go "Oh gee golly better stop" if anything it's going to incite them to dig deeper into "try it". They just stormed the loving capital and got away with it their bravado is terrifying right now and I rather troops swiftly disarm them instead of an old man in Delaware provoking them.
