Political junkie and social media whore who knows just enough to be dangerous and always seems to be looking for rhyme and reason in all the wrong places. No DMs unless it’s an emergency 🚨.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "Seeing an American taken to the ground, having his gun removed, being shot in the back 10 times, then having the govt say he was a terrorist all along based on no evidence.. those are kinds of things that as painful as they are, can actually bring together a lot of Americans"

When the Unitary Executive is a malignant narcissist, surrounded by sycophants, you are limited to Idiocracy.
That said even Idiots succeed sometimes but are blissfully unaware that there are consequences coming

CRY FOR VENEZUELA!

Capitalism worked wonders for their economy in the 70’s until it didn’t. So, they turned to the wrong kind of Socialism, which only made things worse. Now they face a puppet regime controlled by an authoritarian madman with Imperial ambitions, poor judgment and terrible advisors.

What about a new movement dubbed MAGA3.0 in which we take out the worst of America First, retain the idea of prioritizing the interests of the working class over everything else and expanding the definition of what it means to be a patriotic American to include all ethnicities and gender identities?

Guys, Trump doesn’t care about Christians in Africa and it’s not really about the Nigerian oil.

It’s the rare earth minerals.

Nigeria has exploded in rare earth mineral production in the last couple of years. In fact, it is the number five rare earth mineral producer on the planet.

It’s very disconcerting to see how a high percentage of women and lesser, but still significant percentage of minorities have been duped by this MAGA-led GOP into believing that if they are willing to support misogyny and racism, they will somehow come out on the winning side.

Can someone please tell me how and why the American consumer has come to not only accept, but to expect their price of their health insurance coverage to go up, even as their benefits shrink? Are we such dedicated little Capitalist drones that we never stop to question this persistent pattern?

I’ve decided I’m moving to D.C. and opening a consulting business called Grifters Anonymous. I have no experience whatsoever, which should give me just the edge I need to beat out the more highly-skilled competitors.

I expect business to boom as we get closer to the release of the Epstein Files.

MAGA is tripping all over itself trying to dismiss their Great Orange Leader’s obvious cognitive decline as AI-generated fake news,(or whatever).

I’d respect them more if they said, “Yeah, he’s totally losing it, but I still love him and his eff’d up politics!” Not by a lot, but more than I do now.

The future of America is brown. (Or, at the very least, off-White.)

Those circa 1939 Berlin posters the Department of Labor has created belies the fact that the demographic of the USA is shifting rapidly, becoming more ethnically diverse.

The future is coming, dudes. embrace it or get left behind.

The only thing at to stop a bad State from rigging an election through gerrymandering is for a good State to do the same.

It’s a sad fact, but a fact nonetheless.

I try to only attack policy not personality, but when one observes MAGA priorities, they seem to represent America’s “id” expressed in the form of xenophobic, racist, misogynist, homophobic, White Christian Nationalism and hubris, to name a few. As the late Charlie Kirk would say, “Prove me wrong.”

Many members of Congress and city mayors may make bold statements, but let's not forget that we’re ultimately on our own. No one is coming to rescue us.

So, Comey does MAGA a great service by casting a cloud of doubt over HRC at a critical moment in the 2016 Presidential Election, but MAGA is now trying to turn public opinion against him by casting a cloud of doubt over his integrity by bringing charges against him that they have to know aren’t true

After her illustrious performance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I suggest we replace the common usage of the name “Karen” for a raging, out-of-control White woman with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement with the moniker “Bondi”. “She seemed nice until went all “Bondi” on the poor jogger”
