When Donald Trump was asked if he suffers from insanity, he replied that no, he quite enjoys it.

That's what my husband keeps saying, that Trump has moved into the realm of insanity.

www.msn.com/en-us/news/o... Trump excels at mocking, tho' quantity is greater than quality, and does little else except inhale and exhale.

But say MLKJr.'s professed beliefs ignited a generation of aware, conscious, and elevated learners. They were and are tangible goods, and the world is a better place for them.

Just critically examine a belief. Can you accept or agree with that?

I'd go easy on this one, Liberal Page. First, it tugs at an ideology by mocking others; that's the effect, intended or not. Secondly, beliefs are not always fairy tales. When a belief is baseless, void of evidence, it's as you suggest, bullshit.

If it wasn't approved by Congress, then kit doesn't have a budget. And it is illegal. In addition to being fucking selfish.

www.npr.org/2025/10/18/n... GOOD for YOU, MISSOURI! GOOD for YOU, KANSAS. Gerrymandering is RACISM.

These voters want to overturn Missouri's new gerrymandered congressional map

A Missouri group is working to overturn the map that gives the state one more Republican seat in Congress. If they get enough signatures, the map cannot take effect unless Missourians approve them.

"Demanding"...that word should trigger any reader about what Trump thinks he is. Maybe, just maybe, he can be hypnotized to stick that crown up his...ego?
WHO TF, gets money from the DOJ to pay for your court defense? Let's get our finest lawyers out and nip this grift in the bud.

If you can write in fluent "Propagandese", and do it on command, and do it without belief yet sound sincere to an uneducated mass, then you are material for this Administration. He should join just so we can through the entire bucker away in 2028. When is a "Nazi comment" QUALIFYING? 1942?

But this is bullshit. And this "aid" is Socialism, something MAGA hates. What is this?! There will be no "next phase", tariffs are killing farms, never to be born again. Agriculture Secretary, indeed. Sounds more like a clueless Trump Puppet, like Kristi Noem. Face more severe than Melania...

Trump's solution to this debacle is to order the Treasury Department, right next door, to monitor any photos that might be taken, now that the destruction work has begun.

It's got the grit and the bile that reflect current times. But politically where we should be.

Ah, Jimbo Comer. I listen to him for more than 3 minutes and my ears want to vomit.

It's the everyday heroes like Gregg who make this country great, not the bilious billionaire bigots who preen for the cameras while they rob you blind behind your back.

Wake up, wise up, and rise up!

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · Feb 23

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

The tune just popped into my pinhead when I heard of Donald's latest. Honest to God, the GOP does not build anything. Not without destroying something larger first.

By the way, nice peace settlement in Gaza, shit for brains!

Wow, Bella. We are just on the other side of the St. Lawrence Seaway, and get dustings like this, but not exactly this early. Package some and sell it to our Red States!
