Also from Mencken —
…it is impossible to talk anything resembling discretion or judgment to a colored woman. They are all essentially child-like, and even hard experience does not teach them anything.
Dude is not exactly a font of wisdom. I feel like I only ever see him quoted before some libertarian pretends they're about to think for themself.
See you all in six months or so when we get to do all this again.
It's really weird that this is what you imagine when someone buys something from a giant corporation that isn't your preferred giant corporation.
For like the fiftieth time, no one that matters cares what phone you bought, what OS it runs, or what color your texts are on other phones you didn't buy. As a person that keeps buying iPhones, I don't care what you buy. Please feel free to stop caring what I buy.
Do you have any evidence of the "war veteran" part of this, or literally anything to indicate that he has PTSD besides your own assertion that he "probably" has it? The only thing I can find is that he was in Afghanistan but never saw any combat. Are there things in Afghanistan that could cause PTSD? Sure. Is there any evidence that he has PTSD? Not that I've seen.
You know who probably does have massive PTSD? The cuffed guy in the back that was almost executed by two cops because one of them was so effing stupid that he thought he'd been shot by an acorn. He did not "react accordingly." He reacted like a trigger-happy moron. The only useful part of this is that he's resigned.
Pretty much everything Texas "goes through" can be laid at the feet of its right-wing government and its reactionary stance on just about everything (e.g., its ineffective energy infrastructure, low literacy rate).
Your comment, with its lack of anything substantive beyond "yay liberals are inconvenienced" isn't exactly surprising, but it will always be disappointing.
You can make reefs out of a lot of things.
Not being able to scroll recycled content all day has been hugely detrimental to me. I’ve actually started reading books again. BOOKS.
Their tears sustain me. God forbid someone actually help people instead of corporations pretending to be people.
Jesus. I don't even vape and I can tell what that is just from seeing people use them around town.
Honestly it’s astounding that they’ve apparently managed to realize this for once. I’ll have to send a letter of thanks or something.
Hence this part, perhaps?
Although senators will benefit from the change by being permitted to sport casual clothes in the Senate chamber, their staffs are still required to wear business clothes under the old dress code. People other than senators who walk on to the Senate floor will also need to wear business attire, which for men means a jacket and a tie.
Rules for thee, not for me.

In answer to your question, though, she's receiving it because democracy, at least for one political party, is entirely for sale.
