re: The slow execution of Russell Brand…

People are slow to catch on: It's not "conservative vs. liberal" anymore. It's "powerful vs. powerless." This is why I'm not currently worried about how "conservative" Trump is or isn't. God willing, there will be time for that later, after we've righted the ship.

They are pulling the strings, keeping us enraged. There's no other real explanation as to how many completely absurd notions are being pushed - to outrage us, to move the Overton Window, to tire us out, to see how much they can get away with in consecutive advances.

Russell Brand is Dietrich from "V For Vendetta." He got out in front and openly mocked the powerful with the weight of his own celebrity power. He thought they would be angry and he'd get a slap on the wrist. Instead, they murdered him.

IDGAF what Brand did 20 years again anyway. I've said repeatedly I believe in the power of redemption. Considering the weight of all the evidence, nothing happened illegally, and the amoral components of his life have been left behind, and he's made no secret of this. You have to give people room to redeem themselves, otherwise many people will not try, feeling hopeless.

I especially don't want to hear the manufactured concern from the people who let all the Dems get away with much, much worse.
