Idiocracy at its best, mind boggling, I can honestly say that I was very fortunate to go to a public school and was taught inspite of my youthful rebelliousness and know it all attitude. We had many many options of study in our school of about 600 kids. That was over 50 years ago. Now what?

The root of my rage is the fact that these evil mfs aren’t even smart. Since the beginning of time they’ve only been able to amass anything by lying cheating and stealing. No brilliance or innovation in sight. Just fundamentally unclean and ugly while spreading germs in the process.

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

Well, at least they would have DONE something. Republicans have done nothing but fall to their knees in supplication to the dictator. And he’s a convicted felon, and a bully, and demented, need I go on?

Democrats has a trifecta in 2021 and did not do any of these things. Maybe Dems should be taking notes on power politics here.

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

Apple removing ICEBlock, a legal app for monitoring ICE activity, from its app store at the behest of the federal government mirrors what it has done in other regimes. www.iceblock.app

From IceBlock site: ICEBlock Removed
Following pressure from the Trump administration, Apple has removed ICEBlock from the App Store.
We are incredibly disappointed by Apple's actions. Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move. Apple has claimed they received information from law enforcement that ICEBlock served to harm law enforcement officers. This is patently false.

ICEBlock is no different from crowd sourcing speed traps, which every notable mapping application, including Apple's own Maps app, implements as part of its core services. This is protected speech under the first amendment of the United States Constitution.

We are determined to fight this with everything we have. Our mission has always been to protect our neighbors from the terror this administration continues to reign down on the people of this nation. We will not be deterred. We will not stop. #resist

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

It is really hard for me to believe that so many millions have bought into this destruction of the Constitution of the USA.
