I just found the new peace plan in the original Russian! It was leaked by a couple of Russian operatives named "Boris" and "Natasha."

There’s been a mass shooting, we need to review our already great gun laws

I've got a new slogan for the tourist board of my state of residence: INDIANA, WHERE HALF OF THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BACKBONES.
(Apologies in advance to all of my favorite invertebrates, of course.)

One of the most common replies in any discussion of universal basic income is "but how do we pay for it?" and not once do those same people ever question the costs incurred by not doing UBI. We spend $1.5 trillion every year on the costs of child poverty alone. Poverty ain't free, folks. WE ALL PAY.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

If this is happening, it's the biggest surprise since ... finding out that water is wet.
My immediate reaction to these masked armed thugs is that they're criminals, whether they work for ICE or not.

Here's what I don't understand about "centrists" clutching their pearls over the probable election of Zohran Mamdani. The NYC mayor has executive power, but legislation has to go through the City Council. The mayor isn't a dictator. And Mamdani isn't a Trump.

I can't believe this guy is in the news again; he's been lying his way upward for decades. The only good thing I can say about him is that when he was investigated over the 2001 anthrax attacks, he was cleared.
Not surprised he became a Trumpist. Liars gravitate towards liars.

‘You need to immediately cancel all mRNA vaccines! I’m a doctor!’
‘Dude…you aren’t.’
‘Uhhh…I’m a PhD!’
‘Dude…you were busted for forging your diploma way back in 2007.’
‘I’m uhhhh….never mind… I quit….but you still can’t get vaccines.’

A whole bunch of Americans died in a field in PA trying to stop Osama Bin Laden’s cronies from destroying the WH.
That asshole just destroyed the WH for him.
The terrorists must be so pleased.
TACO accomplished what Al Qaeda could not,
while all the mouth breathing “patriots” let him do it.

1. If the GOP guts Medicare and Medicaid, senior citizens and low-income families will indeed suffer. I've seen a lot of speculation that this is a way to weed out the elderly and the poor, and I find that believable. (I'm of Medicare age myself and have skin in the game.) But ...

So which damn Trump cabinet member is going to get the most people killed? The incompetent drunk at the head of the Defense Department? The sadistic puppy-shooter at Homeland Security? The measles-loving Middle Ages-style plague fan at HHS?

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

I live around men with huge arsenals they collected to fight tyranny.
Turns out “tyranny” is being asked wear a mask or kids having access to books or women having access to healthcare or gay folks getting married…

Suggestion for GOP politicians: When your incompetence and greed results in massive losses of lives and livelihoods, stop blaming it on "God's will." It's not a deity's fault. It's on you.
