Aging liberal hippie. Still like CS&N; also Gilbert & Sullivan! Discouraged by a nation that won’t elect a clearly competent and qualified Black Woman as its president. Voted for Dick Gregory in my first presidential election!

Trump & Hegseth = Whores of Qatar…

Pay to play - sell off the US to the highest bidder so you can line your stinky ass pockets full of dark money. The day will come when you and all of your kind face your maker and it can’t be soon enough.

We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

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 ... "

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

Why does anyone care what Peter Thiel thinks or says? He’s obviously a too-rich spoiled egotist who has been nothing but bad for the world

Yes, as I think it through, this is why he's really denying efforts to play the troops. Protecting politically connected pedophiles is more important t him than funding our troops. 😡

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Anyone else remember that old SNL sketch in which Jon Lovitz is playing Michael Dukakis and Dana Carvey is playing George H.W. Bush and they're debating and in mid-debate Dukakis turns to the camera and says, "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy"?

Yeah, *that*

"They should be in prison for not protecting ICE!" the Boo-hoo baby whined

Not Protecting ⭐ICE⭐? The people who break doors and zip-tie children?
From priests & people with signs, & cars honking their horns? From private business owners who don't want ICE in their restaurants, scaring customers?

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?
