A liberal Twitter refugee. Looking for good politics talk along with talking about the cubs and other sports.
Friends and family have told me I should start a podcast.
Trying to figure out how to get a following here.
I’m happy to interact with people

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

Hey, remember when almost 8 times as many people as normal died in week in April of 2020 in NYC? Yeah that happened.
Covid was bad, and it was real.

The racism is no longer a dog whistle. It’s just out in the open

President Trump boasted about pausing “third world migration” and repeated his past remarks asking why the U.S. takes people from what he called “shithole countries” instead of places like Norway or Sweden.

This is insanity
pbump.com Philip Bump @pbump.com · 4d
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Ahhh yes, just what I want to watch when I turn on the bears game, the 3-9 browns vs the 1-11 titans.
No wonder college football is more popular in the south than the NFL

Toledo-Martinez answered a knock at his door to find a federal immigration agent posing as a construction worker, who claimed to have hit his car.

He went outside and another agent released the dog, which bit him repeatedly. Now Patty Murray calls for his release.

3 Questions:

1) What are we doing?
2) How is this pro-life?
3) What are we doing?

Remember how badly we handled Iraq and Afghanistan and arguably lost both of those wars? We had at least nominally competent military leadership then.
We now have completely incompetent military leadership. And they think they’ll just walk over Venezuela.
This will end badly.

What in the tapdancing fuck
A raw chicken hanging from an oven rack by its wings and legs with toothpicks. The chickens is dotted with cubes of butter attached by tooth picks and someone is shoving a large piece of butter covered in garlic cloves into the cavity of the bird

Donald Trump is completely insane. This weekend settled it. It’s not an act. He’s nuts.
And the worst people in the world are hanging on around him as his inexplicable cult worships him.

This is not normal.
