I have a plan for the future, should we get the chance, that will guarantee that Congress will represent us and understand exactly what it's like to live as an average American in this country.

Devlyn's plan for the political future of this country:

You want to run for Congress or President? New requirements!

Pass a test about the Constitution & how the government works. Pass a criminal background check.

Live for 1 year in an apt while working at Walmart. You may only live on your wages & whatever govt benefit you're eligible for. You will simulate having 2 children living with you, so you must figure out transportation, child care & food, all while renting a place big enough for all of you.

You can only buy a car if you save the money from working. If you can't afford a car, you better hope there's public transportation or you'll be walking. You must pay all the fees, gas, insurance & maintenance.

During this year, you will simulate several scenarios. First, you will be sick with pneumonia & out of work for 2 weeks. Maybe you'll lose your job because you're sick. You probably can't afford insurance, so you'll put off going to the doctor until you're really sick. Your medications will be too expensive, so you'll have to get creative & still feed your children.

Next, your children will get sick 2-3 times each, at different times, & require medical care & you'll need to figure out who's going to take care of them because you'll get fired if you miss anymore work.

Then, if you have managed to get a car, it will have a major mechanical issue. You'll need to figure out how to get it fixed, but until you can, you're without a car.

Then your mom gets sick & can't live alone anymore. Now you'll need to figure out where she'll go. With you? A home? You're barely surviving as it is. Good luck with that.

If you survive a year without killing your kids, or Mom, or going to jail for being homeless because you lost everything due to the high costs of living and low tolerance for missed days of work regardless of the reasons, then you have a good idea of what regular American deal with every single day, and you *might* be ready to represent them in Congress.

If you can't make it year, welcome to reality! You better start protesting & advocating for change in the system so that you can pass the bare minimum to represent the rest of us that are struggling in ways that never occurred to you before you lived in our world.

'This is Trump’s America'!?!?

Nah.

It's Americans' America.

Own it.

If you don't like what you own, change it.

Cause you own it.

Also, Trump is a temporary government employee.

You're his employer.

Act like it.

#31DaysOfHalloween

It's a comic frame of 2 jack-o'-lanterns and a pumpkin pie.

Both jack-o'-lanterns are frowning and looking worried as they stare at the pumpkin pie.

One jack-o'-lantern says "Now that's scary!"

Not to mention that creators of insulin GAVE away the free patent because it was a life saving drug! And the capitalism/big pharmaceutical got a hold of it…

Some interesting history about the “Star Spangled Banner”. It did not become our national anthem officially until 1931, one hundred and fifty years after the tune’s initial use, as a drinking song.

Ubisoft reportedly cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set around the American Civil War because of Yasuke backlash and political turmoil in the US

The game was meant to take primarily during the Reconstruction era, and would have featured a Black assassin confronting the emergence of the Ku Klux Klan.

I'm not even surprised anymore by his criminal behavior.

But every day they cheer him on, I'm surprised at how stupid maga are.

What if you're an old, pregnant American citizen woman?

What happens then?

Why did he have to say young?

Oh yeah, because they're the PedoNaziRepublican party and they only like little girls.

"plausible deniability"

But nothing about this regime is plausible.

They're not so completely stupid & uninterested in the orange rapist felon that they don't know his every move & word.

Plus, they have to be informed for damage control.
