They also said that the evil Commie government would send black army helicopters to attack them.

Guess what the Trump administration did in Chicago?

And where was the Biden administration when a radical woke leftist attacked Harper's Ferry? Or when some crazy, woke feminist teenaged girl attacked the English at the battle of Orleans?

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

It's part of the philosophy that force soves all problems, and the weak belong to the strong.

The reason the effort to replace Obamacare was so traumatic for Mike was that he realized the R's could NOT do any better!The ACA already WAS the conservative, market based plan Romney had implemented in MA. But if a Black man to do the same it instantly became Communism.

She's heard him say it. That drives parents crazy! Don't say anything to your kid that you can't tolerate when you hear them say it back.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

In my grade school, the food service used to put up Halloween deco in the lunch room. Some of it was pretty gross. Did they ever wonder why so many kids were throwing out their food?

My husband and I risked life, limb and COVID to vote in person, because we didn't want anyone to accidentally on purpose lose our ballots. We were both over 65, but we masked up, made our way through a very crowded corridor that had't been designed for social distancing, and helped elect Biden. /1

During Trump's first "debate" with Biden, when he spent the entire hour and a half screaming over his opponent, I kept wondering, don't those moderators all have a mute button? Why don't they just cut him off? The answer of course is

Yes, Comey is getting his karma, as Lev Parnas has gleefully observed, since he's personally seen Comey's tactics at work. Comey created the weaponization of the justice dept., and the evil that he did lived after him, to paraphrase the bard. But a political prosecution is still abuse of power.
