Do you want to speak out against Marcellus' execution before it actually occurs?
Do you think you might be able leverage your political influence to do something to stop it?

No? Okay, well maybe just grandstand and exploit his murder so you can gain clout instead.

Liberals are opposed to every war except the current one, they are opposed to every execution except the pending one

      that chick

      sadly need to inform you that using the word "chick" has unfortunate misogynistic tones – why are we referring to an adult woman with the word for a baby animal?

      excising it from my own vocabulary is a fucking challenge. it is in heavy use in my extended family and was one of my late sister's favorite words, and learning how it comes across to some other women was a real bummer.

        I agree. It's a hard habit to break when it's decades-deep embedded into your vocabulary.

        That said: I don't know how anyone can stand that woman.

          While normal in the English language, it still reads a bit misogynistic.

          I don't know how anyone can stand that LIB .
