Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

This is a wild read. It's remarkable how much Peter Thiel thinks he knows that is just ignorant and poorly thought out. It's also pretty clear these people have never deeply read a book by Tolkien (or anybody else). Most confusing for people of this wealth, can't they find editors?

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 8h

The fight over health care is incredibly important, but his shutdown battle is about more than just health care. President Trump has abused the living crap out of his power, and if we don't rein him in, our republic is at risk.

Isn't it interesting that EVERYONE in the world knows that this comment made to describe the winner is also a well-written (and only slightly veiled) indictment aimed at #ConvictedFelonTrump ?

This is the felon/GOP’s shutdown! They control all branches of fed. government! It’s a choice felon/GOP are making to not pay the troops or pay back pay! Dems are demanding that GOP Speaker Johnson bring a bill to the floor that would guarantee pay for military personnel throughout the GOP shutdown!

Just did that. Thanks for the info.

It would possibly be better if the US actually HAD a radical left, but we don't. We have right, far right, and nutso right. Our "leftists" are often what the world would call rightists.

As if we needed any more proof of RFKJ's completely insanity and idiocy, look no further than yesterday's cabinet meeting propaganda event, where he announced that there's a link between circumcision and autism--WTF? Oh because of Tylenol.

He's literally a deranged, malignant moron.

It’s not “radical left” to demand that our tax dollars help subsidize the healthcare of the elderly, poor, middle-class and disabled. It’s OUR country. It’s OUR money. All civilized nations that can do it, do it.
