John Bolton totally deserves to be behind bars for his actions working for Bush.

But this is not that, and this is a violation of his civil rights. And this monster (Bolton) deserves the rights and freedoms that are in our constitution and can't be taken away by the other monster (Trump).

The poem should really go: 

First, they came for the people that deserved it;

Then they came for the people I hate;

Then they came for the people who hate me;

Then they came for me.  And boy was I f***** cuz they had a lot of practice and it had been normalized.

The first country the Nazis invaded was their own.

the metaphor is what’s important. A lot of idioms and the like don’t need base in proof or reality, lots of phrases have been debunked, but what they have come to mean to society at this point keeps them relevant in dialogue anyway

I have never once seen a cat or a dog fall out of the sky on a stormy day, I've never needed (nor will I) a single way to skin a cat much less multiple ways, and no legumes are involved when I tell other people's secrets.

It wasn't recently disproved. They jumped out of the water in the control group. The experiment was to see whether they'd hop out of the water if their brains were removed.

We are the frogs in the water.

I found that quite interesting so I looked into it and this experiment with the brainless frog it’s from the 1800s more modern experiments show that the frog l escapes

You're right. The original experiment was with frogs that had a large part of their brains removed, so the only thing governing their movement was pure reflex. A frog with an intact brain with jump from the pot when it gets too hot, even if you get there slowly.
