When money & power take over a man/woman, the soul rots. When you can buy anything, you buy anything your heart desires. By then, the heart is black. Ever wonder what’s it’s like to murder, rape, have sex with anyone/anything, torture a human being, commit genocide? These people are corrupt & sick.

Anyone else just plain grossed-out by the idea of a handful of powerful leaders & tech bros designing a future none of us could survive by using blackmail, bribery & Kompromat as their go-to tools? I was once an optimist, but dang, there are real monsters in high places they shouldn’t be!

Thank you every single veteran!
If you feel lost today for fighting for a country that's losing democracy, it's ok. We will stand up for you and get democracy back. I honor you all. Especially Vietnam Vets who were not welcomed home. Thank you for defending our home!

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Maybe we’ll be different from other empires that collapsed by diluted dollar value, colossal debt, over-extended military, social decay/unrest from gross wealth inequality, and bloated government self-confidence, but I doubt it. It’s scary, but I think the USA is about to implode. 😣

Wow..that’s another weird coincidence
There were four banks that waited until after Epstein was arrested in 2019 to report his suspicious activities. One was the Bank of New York Mellon. The “anonymous” donor who gave $130M to “pay the military” was Timothy Mellon.
Weird huh 🙄

Benefits enrollment period for employees is right about now for next year. My firm has noted that our health insurance premiums will have a “modest increase” for 2026. Let’s see if that modest increase negates any “modest raise” I may/may not get. Calculators out. 😠

Hey MSM,
It would be really swell if you would question what happened to all the artifacts and furnishings that were housed in the East Wing.
I’ll help:
Were items destroyed?
Was anything sold or gifted to anyone?
If items were saved, where are they being stored?
See how easy it is? Your turn.

How the National Guard should be used!
California is deploying the California National Guard to quickly assist families whose federal food benefits are halted because of Donald Trump's government shutdown.
We won't let the GOP's cruel inaction force millions of Californians to go hungry.
