Isn't anyone in congress willing to do anything about this? At what point does someone put an end to this madness?

So, a cult started by a man who did time for fraud had a meeting. I hope they wore their magic underwear to protect themselves from crazy people.

The magat faithful will somehow blame his behavior on drag queens and trans people. That is what fox news will tell them to believe anyway.

What disturbs me more than the blatant lies put out by Republicans is the fact that millions of people believe them. They want to believe the lie even when they suffer because of that belief.

The more chaos that is out there the less people can recognize what is really taking place behind closed doors. This tactic works every time.

Government officials, business leaders, celebrities, and many that admired the deceased were there to share their hatred. Charlie Kirk was a spreader of hate, and that is the common thread that unites all those that morn him. I am saddened by what my once beloved country has become.

Many years from now, students of ancient history will look upon the fall of the United States and ask their professor, "Were the people really that stupid?" and the response will be "Yes they were."

One good judge will not stop trump from appealing this ruling until a court approves these deportations.

I am 61, and for most of my life, the right wing, along with their allies have pushed for cuts as well as raising the retirement age. Most people are too stupid to realize that raising the age is a cut.

The democrats are so weak. Where are the true leaders when you need them?

scruffytennessee.bsky.social @scruffytennessee.bsky.social · 22d

Yet our elected officials and corporate leaders are rolling over like dying cock roaches. It makes me wonder how such complete cowards achieved the success they have.

It's over. They have all the money, and they are not going to share. Hey! Look! An immigrant is trying to take your job!

For a lousy 100,000 dollar reward I won't even look out my window to try and help find him.

Though I do not wish this to happen to anyone, I don't really feel any sorrow for Mr. Kirk.

When someone's ignorance is treated as equal to an experts knowledge, we end up with policies that harm everyone.

Those of you who are here in Tennessee will be happy to know that our state led the nation in new unemployment claims last week.

We seem to have reached the point that a person's ignorance is now equal to an experts knowledge. This is dangerous on many levels.

It seems to me that the majority of voters in Texas are just fine with this. How else can you explain the fact that they still have a republican christo-fascist regime running over citizens' rights?

If you are not from Tennessee, it's hard to understand just how entrenched right-wing ideology is. It is now part of their deeply held religious beliefs. In many of the rural counties, the majority of the white uneducated population is too far past the point of no return.

Burchette is from Tennessee, so the voters will believe anything he says. Yes, they really are that dumb here in my home state.
