I read, I write, I vote. Republican decisions are based on their belief that the purpose of government is NOT to help people---it is to CONTROL people. #RejectRepublicans #AppeasersStink #CollaborationistsStink #StopNormalizing #PrivatizationTAX

The right completely fails to understand that national productivity (and security) succeeds and thrives when the mass of citizens are NOT terrified every second (of getting sick; of trying to deal with banks and insurance; of starving).

More productivity = more for all (even the billionaires!)

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Trump is using presidential power and his platform to do a giant pump and dump- hollowing out our country and taking its wealth.
Bond villain level stuff.

Look at how quickly ABC and Sinclair caved when millions of people cancelled their accounts and boycotted the stations. Trump was bad for their bottom line.

3.5% of a population is enough to get the 1% thinking. For instance: maybe the would-be dictator ISN'T good for business, after all....

I get it.

Anyway, Stitt did a brave thing, and I hope he's (at least ultimately) rewarded for it.

Dim-witted chest thumping.

That US rep to the UN apparently doesn't realize that the Supreme Court gave immunity ONLY to Trump.

We all have to fight that 'growing cynicism' in ourselves---it's a very understandable reaction to current conditions. (We have to forgive ourselves for it!)

Everyone who can: always film such thuggery.

All that evidence will become crucial to the upcoming Nuremberg-style trials.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

That doesn't mean that Stitt has no future in politics. (Many Governors go on to become Senators, for example.)

Just got my CAVA bag stuffed with cash from George Soros to attend the #NoKings rally on October 18th. Still waiting to hear from Antifa headquarters if one of their corporate jets is available. Otherwise, I'll use my Delta "American Terrorists As Bad As Isis Fly Free" coupon. Glory!
