How Republicans view "personal responsibility":
Unarmed Black man is murdered by police for allegedly using a fake $20 bill.
- Republican: He should have complied
12 year old girl is raped and impregnated by an adult male family member
- Republican: What was she wearing? She must carry that baby to term.
Privileged old white guy, who had everything handed to him on a gold toilet seat his whole life, commits a slew of crimes including falsifying business records, tax and insurance fraud, sexual assault, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, stealing classified documents, election interference, and inciting insurrection, FINALLY gets indicted
- Republican: It's not his fault. It's fake news. It's the deep state. It's Antifa. Hunter's laptop.

BREAKING: Legendary musician Jack White of the White Stripes rips into some of his fellow celebrities by name for buddying up to Donald Trump in public at a UFC fight in Las Vegas over the weekend.
Trump was spotted glad-handing and chatting with Joe Rogan, Guy Fieri, Mark Wahlberg, and noted antisemite Mel Gibson. Jack White took to Instagram to tear into the traitor-loving celebs—
"Anybody who ‘normalizes’ or treats this disgusting fascist, racist, con man, disgusting piece of shit Trump with any level of respect is ALSO disgusting in my book," wrote White beneath photos of the people at the event.
"That’s you Joe Rogan, you Mel Gibson, you Mark Wahlberg, you Guy Fieri. This is a statement from me, not a discussion/debate. -Jack White III," he went on, pulling no punches.
White absolutely nailed it. This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated by a country that wants to survive.
This display of friendliness towards a fascist failed ex-president — a man who literally tried to overthrow our democracy — is a potent reminder that the super rich are insulated from the effects of destructive MAGA policies. They share class interests and will sell us all down the river if it gets them more tax cuts.
Kudos to Jack White for taking a stand.

This two bit, self loathing, sycophantic, white supremacy apologizing, uncle ruckus, benefited from race-based preferences throughout his entire career, yet sided with conservatives to overturn affirmative action.
Clarence Thomas was admitted to Holy Cross in 1968 in part because the school was actively looking for Black students.
He was admitted to Harvard Law School in 1971 right after it adopted a “race conscious“ admissions policy, but chose to go to Yale at the exact moment it created its first explicit affirmative action program with a goal of 10% minority enrollment.
Thomas was one of 12 Black students in the class of 175. His application was evaluated separately and he received special consideration because he was Black.
When Thomas left Yale he was hired by John Danforth, the Attorney General of Missouri. Danforth admitted it was because he was seeking to have a diverse office and that Clarence Thomas was hired because he was Black.
Thomas left Danforth’s office to work for Monsanto at a time when the company was looking to hire Black lawyers. He went back to work for Danforth when he was a US senator and was looking to diversify his staff.
He then went to work for Reagan’s Department of Education and was offered the job in part because he was Black.
He then became chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a position that six Black women turned down before he accepted it.
His entire career was a result of affirmative action.
This man epitomizes hypocrisy and has always been an enemy to Black progress in this nation.

Proof Brett Kavanaugh was a legacy student at Yale: 👇
1928 Yale year book:
Everett Edward Kavanaugh second column, confirmed to be Brett Kavanaugh’s grandfather.
Hey Brett Kavanaugh.
Want to talk about affirmative action and student loans?
Let’s examine how you got into Yale, shall we?
During your Senate testimony, you said “I got into Yale Law School. That’s the No. 1 law school in the country. I had no connections there. I got there by busting my tail in college.”
But, like much of your testimony, this wasn’t exactly true. 👇
You see, we found a copy of a 1928 Yale yearbook and it turns out your grandfather Everett Edward Kavanaugh also attended Yale as an undergraduate student.
So that makes you a legacy student a liar.
So to recap, you got into your grandfather’s alma mater, then went to the Law School.
That matters — because admission to an undergraduate institution can more than double a student’s chance of getting into that institution’s graduate schools.
In 2011, Yale said that up to 25 percent of its students could classified as legacy students.
Turns out, getting into college, especially Ivy League schools, is traditionally as much a matter of who you know as it is what you know.
AOC said it best, “If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.”
But of course you wouldn’t do that. It would mean you’d might have never gotten to the Supreme Court. It would have impacted the 70% of Harvard legacy students who are white - and harmed Harvard’s ability to rely on them as patrons.
So how about we also ban legacy admissions and see how people like you fare without the privilege, shall we?
Clarence Thomas.
You just voted to gut affirmative action and student loan forgiveness.
Let’s take a look how you got into Yale, shall we?
During your 58-page concurring opinion, you wrote that the foundational policies of affirmative action "fly in the face of our colorblind Constitution and our Nation's equality ideal.”
But Justice Thomas, we did a little digging and it turns out that Yale university followed an affirmative action policy at the time you attended its law school.
There’s more.
In 1991 a New York Times article about you reported that Yale University officials confirmed you were admitted to its law school "under an explicit affirmative action plan with the goal of having blacks and other minority members make up about 10 percent of the entering class."
It appears clear from the testimony of Yale officials that your admission to the Yale School of Law was made at the time of affirmative action policies and was almost certainly influenced by it.
We should also mention that
you secretly accepted $150,000 in tuition payments from rightwing billionaire Harlan Crowe, but you just voted to strike down loan forgiveness for students who need it.
There is something absolutely tragic about the fact that the benefits of
affirmative action helped create a Justice Thomas who will now deny many young African American talented individuals the same opportunity.
Justice Thomas, if you’re so against affirmative action, I suggest you resign from the Bench.
