Another Day Wasted

I'm sorry I can't link to every tweet Charlie Pierce published today; or at least the ones related to the service for John Lewis.  It's clear I missed something far more important than what nonsense Trump spewed today, or how everyone responded to it.

“John Lewis did not practice the politics of bipartisanship...[he] practiced the politics of the Declaration of Independence."

Jim Lawson is teaching you history, straight no chaser.
Take notes.

Jim Lawson now shouting out The Great Society.

Jim Lawson, thundering about “plantation capitalism."
91 damn years old.

I know I'm a 65 year old fart, but dammit!  We still have giants among us, and it wouldn't hurt us to listen to them before they pass.

Obama, bringing it.

"George Wallace may be gone, but we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators."

I don’t recall ever hearing Obama speaking with this kind of unforgiving outrage. Maybe I missed it, but this is one pissed-off patriot up there.

“You want to honor John? Honor him by revitalizing the law he was willing to die for."

And Barack Obama unbound?  How long have I been waiting for that?

Maybe there'll be a DVD, or something I can download.....
