But 60% of Republicans think they are thanks to Fox News. https://jabberwocking.com/republicans-remain-convinced-that-theyre-failing-financially/ Republicans think everything is terrible As long as I'm at it, here's a sampling of what Republicans think about various things according to YouGov: https://jabberwocking.com/republicans-think-everything-is-terrible/ The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at https://www.mediafire.com/two

You are championing a cabal that has relentlessly impoverished average Americans and bullied and tried to impoverish the rest of the world. All for the benefit of a vanishingly small number of people. They TALK about freedom and human rights, but they bring starvation and death. What chaps your ass, son, is that I don't "believe" the established instituitons and authrotities. Not in the political realm, anyway. Like the scientist that I am, I insist on some kind of validated evidence before accepting something as "fact". And even then, I'll change my mind if given better information. You conflate "established authorities" with morals and knowldege. Thats a mistake.

All those other indictments that are still playing out in the courts. His track record for winning once a trial begins is zero.

Kennedy died last Thursday at the age of 96 after having a stroke the previous week. Because their voices weren't picked up by the camera, the internet got creative and made a few suggestions:(
