I began this "Will Rogers" shtick because I was struck by how timely the man's insights remained.
Human nature is a constant, for better or worse.
Rogers was a simple cowboy whose wit and humor made him one of the most influential voices in the world.
There is more power in laughter than we realize.

The crazy part is that these are only Democratic programs in the sense that Dems support them.
The programs themselves mostly benefit Trump's base.
The blue states support the red ones through so many of these programs.
We're literally fighting to save Maga from themselves.

At least now we know where Trump is planning to flee when the Epstein files are released.

I'm still waiting for our friends on the Right to decide what's more important;
A- funding the government, or
B- protecting a pedophile.
I'm afraid I already know the answer, but it would just be nice to hear them admit it.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

This 1000 times over. My father fought in Europe. My uncle died there. These 21st century NAZIs are just as despicable as their predecessors and deserve the same fate.
