Makes perfect sense that a frog wearing a blue scarf would be the mascot for resisting a vile yet stupid bunch of fascists.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

Johnson, noem, et al. painted a target on the backs of all of us who will protest on 10.18.

Calling us terrorists sure doesn't lower the temp of political rhetoric. Shameful.

“In the battle for the soul of the Democratic Party, Senate candidate Graham Platner might be the perfect soldier: The virile, earthy working man many male politicians wish they were, with the committed lefty beliefs many voters are now demanding.”

Is she running for senate? Trying to move toward the center in a semi purple state?

A couple weeks ago, she was also critical of Rs policies toward women.
