Dems have nothing to lose. Nothing. In fact, they basically win either way it goes. They only lose if they cave.

The only way this ends is for Trump to agree to let Americans keep their healthcare premiums from skyrocketing. This could take years.

I think Trump would be a great national leader.....of Israel.

And no, he's not for sale. We'll pay you to take him!

And yes, we know he can't speak Hebrew. But that's okay, he can't really speak English either.

Chatting with our teen nephew tonight, he pointed out something we had not considered.

The Portland “Frog Brigade” has not only dismantled Trump’s propaganda “war torn” narrative. But, it’s also flipped the symbolism of the frog from hate to humor, from alt-right to anti-fascist.

Have any of y'all heard about Larry Bushart Jr.? I ask, because I hadn't.

Watch this video and catch up on what's being done to him over a meme he posted.

He wasn't fired. He wasn't "canceled". He was arrested. Based on lies.

We should be outraged by this.
