"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

This about sums it up.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who killed so many children in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins, has been confirmed to lead Health and Human Services.

The vote was 52-48. All Dems and Mitch McConnell, whose fault this is, voted no. All other Republicans voted yes. The blood will be on their hands.

I think it should be made clear at this point: If you're a federal employee, you should consider your work devices bugged. If you've logged into personal stuff on those devices, you should consider suspending or deleting the accounts you accessed.

When a liberal area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “God is punishing them.”

When a conservative area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “Democrats control weather machines.”

Must be hard going through life as a full-blown idiot.

this is the structure of basically every shutdown/brinksmanship fight I've ever covered and it's not going to change.
a lot of congressional negotiations come down to the fact that Democrats are less willing to hurt people in the name of stupid bullshit than Republicans are and so they blink at the last minute

Talk to one Palestinian with any connection even tangentially to Gaza and your entire perspective will shift about many of the debates we have here in America.

Too many discussions have more to do with our domestic debates instead of the actual lived realities (and horrors) on the ground.
