Unfortunately, we’ve become a nation where apology is a sign of weakness, a piece of meat to a hungry pack. We’re a people hopelessly addicted to outrage and pearl clutching. And those who don’t scream loudly enough or clutch their pearls hard enough must worry about the Thought Police.
We’ve become like North Koreans at a state funeral, terrified to be the first to stop wailing. In our angry public world of politics and media, the gravity sucks us down into the demon-infested Twitterverse, a universe of darkness and tribal screams.
President Donald Trump drew condemnation when he asked Associate Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor to recuse themselves from cases involving him because of their anti-Trump partisan views. They are indeed partisan, publicly anti-Trump and have said so, proudly, as their fans cheered them on.

The virus will pass. The ahole we are stuck with.
The jackass has no self-awareness. If he ever looked at a video of himself, he would discover what a total flaming asshole he is.
I am waiting for the Schumer-induced incident.
CoVid - 535 No cure. Can have the highest morbidity rates. Ask your “representative” for some govern mints. Their doctors said they were OK.
Ask your doctor for some Prozac.
Chuckie Schumer has no awareness of reality, period, or he would have known not to unleash a whirlwind of criticism against himself for threatening judges.
I wonder if he warned Scalia before the Justice went ‘hunting’
Love Kass’ line about North Koreans at a state funeral.
“Ask your doctor for some Prozac.”
Clever
“Unfortunately, we’ve become a nation where apology is a sign of weakness, a piece of meat to a hungry pack.”
Well, could it be be because it is? Especially if you’re a conservative apologizing? The left will never leave it at that, after you’re done groveling, they want your scalp.
Maybe I’m biased, but I don’t think our side is that rabid.
“”I intended to defend Chuck Schumer, but he just wouldn’t shut up””
Dang Guy, all you had to do was take his microphone away
Kass is one of the few good guys at the filthy rag Chicago Tribune.
That is a good one.
“all you had to do was take his microphone away”
Schumer could not exist without a well-amplified microphone.
Because he has the Biden-mouthvirus.
There are [a lot of] corrupt and bad people in DC.
Schumer is one that, IMO, is a step further. I believe he is a genuinely evil person. In Hillary’s league.
Looks like Chuck set a precedent for allowing that kind of language. Let's see what happens.
That's as hard as moving him (Schumer) away from a TV camera. Not possible.
The only time Schumer takes his foot out of his mouth is to change feet.
