You're forgetting that we went to war in 1776 to *keep* King George. The Confederacy won the Civil War. And we were supposed to join World War II on the Axis side, but FDR signed the declaration of war upside down.

Silly question, how is that NOT a direct violation of The Hatch Act? Imagine the outcry if that had been done by Biden cabinet member

2.5 weeks into my wife's 3 week walking holiday.

Yeah, I'd probably just die without her.

From my bachelor diet alone, if nothing else.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

I have another silly question. How is a 'No Kings' protest a hate America terrorist movement. I thought we were founded on a No Kings movement, kinda explicit in that terrorist manifesto, The Declaration of Independence, asking for a friend

I have what may be a silly question, if Portland is a war zone, a battlefield, unlivable, then why are there no live conservative news crews broadcasting this devastation? We get live news from other war zones across the world, why do we see no live broadcasts of all this devastation from Fox? OAN?

Yeah, my keyboard was fine. I feel the operator had issues. 😉

Reminds me of error codes we used to close tickets. OFT (operator finger trouble) was pretty common. I'm sure you've used PEBCAK or maybe 'Error 18' (fault occurred 18" from the screen). Not sure we could get away with that now!

We (Democrats, reporters, society in general) should and should be able to make this into a big story.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 6d

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

She is just so blatantly and proudly partisan. 'DOJ is back to going after criminals', who all, coincidentally just happen to be on the Presidents enemies list, and his friends, those cases are dropped. Apparently the rule is 'if Trump hates you, criminal, if Trump likes you, not-criminal'.

BREAKING: DHS Secretary Noem just met with Portland’s mayor, and gave him an ultimatum:

If the city does NOT clamp down on Antifa militants outside the ICE facility, she will send FOUR TIMES the amount of federal agents out here

DO IT, @Sec_Noem!

If you haven't seen this unscripted ad with Bernie and AOC regarding the government shutdown, it's pretty amazing...they need to play this on every hour of the faux media propaganda channel right now!
