Maybe you should hire an immigrant, maybe someone in the asylum process, to explain it to you.

Just do it remotely, for their sake because Florida is extra virulent this year.

It's not gobbledygook (which is how that is spelled, btw).

The reason it's the best thing is it was our country trying to lift itself beyond its past, beyond its biases.

The reason it's the worst thing is that we needed (and still need, but do not have) those elements to counter the biases that remain in our country, despite efforts like that.

It is describing the paradox of America - our potential and our failures to achieve that potential.

I am sorry that the tension between those two concepts was lost on you and I sincerely hope that my words help you to see/feel it more easily.

A rapine riot of republicans is running for Congress. Don’t let them shit in your house the way they took shits in Congress last time they were there.

In addition to being dishonest thugs, republicans are not house broken. They sleep in their filth and dry hump their food.

Pretty sure rapine is a noun and is not also an adjective. A riot of republicans who supported the rapine is running for Congress, perhaps.

It’s being used as an attributive noun in passage you’ve quoted.

Keep marching.

Punch fascists and ratfuck their republican cup bearers.

Quite a few voting rights bills out there now.   Probably a good approach, eggs in several baskets.   If only there was a way to make voting rights a budgetary thing,  so reconciliation would work and they'd only need a simple majority.

do you mean, Elena Kagan is an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Is that her quote? Makes no sense!

Your inability to read English is noted.

Here's what he read from Larry's tagline: "If a single statute represents the best of America, it is the Voting Rights Act. It marries two great ideals: democracy and racial equality.”

“If a single statute reminds us of the worst of America, it is the Voting Rights Act. Because it was — and remains — so necessary”

Assoc Justice Elena Karan"
