Why I vote Blue:
Short answer? I’m a human being, not a soulless ghoul worried about my taxes and imaginary migrants.

Priests & reporters are getting shot in the head with pepper balls by Trump thugs. I just want Dem Pols (esp. mine: Kaine & Warner) to fight for us & show a fraction of courage in Congress. We delivered 6.5% swing left in Virginia for them, a mandate, they owe us

In a chaotic kidnapping raid yesterday, ICE in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood shot a chemical munition into a family’s moving car. The shrapnel from the pepper ball/spray hit a baby. (11/8/2025)

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:
First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.
Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

“It’s their jobs…”
Really? You going there, Daffy?
Mr Duffy, it’s only their jobs, if they’re getting paid (including back pay for time already worked), otherwise it’s at best volunteer work, at worst indentured servitude.

Mike Johnson is a Cuck.
I know that is a right wing thing to call people, but Trump is actively f@cking Mike Johnson’s Congress and Mike’s just in the corner pretending to turn a blind eye (I didn’t see/hear ‘Insert tRump’s latest atrocity’ here) when we (and even his son) knows he’s watching

Note: This is me — I asked this question.
You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?
MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

If you go to the USDA website, in a comical Hatch violation, the website says the SNAP well has run dry (it hasn’t) and that it’s Democrats fault for giving healthcare to “illegal aliens” and people who want “genital mutilation procedures.”
