The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

A president of the United States is there to serve us. All public servants--by the very name--are there to serve us, the public. Local police are there to serve us--and by extension, federal policing agents are there to serve us. Let's not forget that when we see all these people working against us.
