Whether due to corruption, incompetence or both, the U.S. government just circulated child sex abuse material.
These bastards released unredacted photos of fully nude children and their faces—multiple news outlets had to inform DOJ, who scrambled to remove them.

When the ghouls say we need to grow the economy before we can afford the basics for our people, remember that our economy has made our households - on AVERAGE - amongst the richest in the world. Our issue is not the size of the pie, it's the size of the slice that goes to the rentiers.

I had a dream last night that Trump died in a military style portable toilet with a gold star on the front and they flew it away by helicopter and all the news channels that showed it were like “his body is in there” as it flew across the sky, swinging around gently
so maybe it will happen today.

Yeah. I thought this in 2016. But it turns out the closest thing to “Them” that actually exists is the pedophile cabal that Donald Trump’s best friend ran, so…. Whoopsie fucking doodles.
i think there is a shared, cross generational belief that there is a “They” sitting in the background that will step in and prevent things from getting intolerably bad

Yes, the glass is cracked, but it's still strong enough to withstand the strength of our bears.
Two inches thick, and several hundred pounds, this glass is made of several layers and is designed to splinter, not shatter.
We'll be replacing it soon!
