      Actually, it wasn’t Twain. It was Clarence Darrow who first said something very like it about 10 years after Twain’s death.

        I feel like Mark Twain elbows Darrow in the afterlife every time it gets misattributed to him

        Edit: I feel like it’s really important understand when I say this it’s the Mark Twain from that tng episode times arrow where they all go in the past and meet Mark Twain and he figures out that they are spacemen

        I’d recommend making a reply if you changed your view so that the original is still visible (unless you said a slur or something that no one needs to see I guess.) Or I suppose you could just add to the bottom of the original post.

      This is a huge moment where American Republicans lose a lot of power. The same Republicans who have been causing global havoc and chaos. This guy was at the front lines cheering it all on.

          No it’s important. Imagine some party or coalition has very narrow control of your country’s parliament. Then one of the members dies, and another one is in the hospital and hasn’t been seen in weeks. So that control is teetering and the entire government might collapse if the control slips away. That’s not entirely a local story since what your country’s national government does will have effects all over the world.

          Here in the US we have a separate executive branch so even if Trumps party loses control of Congress (= parliament), Trump himself is still the president, but it’s still a big change, it becomes much harder for him to get laws passed. That affects all sorts of things. Also, these guys (Graham and McConnell) have been around forever and are very influential. McConnell (the guy in the hospital) is the Senate majority leader, maybe of similar standing to the head of the opposition party in a parliamentary country, since the head of the governing party would be the PM. Still an important dude.

            To be fair, Democrats like Schumer and Jeffries ain’t exactly champing at the bit to go after MAGA and throw em all in prison and reverse all the shit they’ve done.

            Removing the GOP from power is sadly just the first of many steps to fixing the myriad problems with this country.
