Just a random, average guy navigating life with a mix of discipline and fun. I work in the information management sector, making sense of data by day. I believe in fairness, equality, and equity—everyone should have a fair shot.

Geg thinks people that ask why their neighbors died are losers. According to his dumbass analogy winners seek solutions and losers point the blame.
I think him and his kind are losers for not recognizing their mistakes. He's the Jerry Jones of Governors.

This 940-page reconciliation bill has a list of horrific provisions. One of the worst is a $211 billion tax break to the top 0.2% who inherit $30 million.
In this bill 16 million lose health care & hungry kids lose nutrition. Meanwhile, billionaires get much richer. Disgusting.

Ted Cruz says he has no idea what the population or ethnic mix of Iran is. He wants the US to help Israel bomb and destroy the country anyway.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests.
It is about expanding his never-ending grasp for more power. It is about moving this country toward authoritarianism.
All Americans must stand together against this gross abuse of power.

Why does the media keep calling the act of sending Americans to foreign countries deportation? It's not deportation. It's called expatriation for a crime. It's illegal. It's unAmerican.

Pretty simple rule of thumb when wondering why the Trump administration does anything is to ask two questions:
1) is it racist?
Or
2) are they stupid?
Tends to cover most Trump administration stuff.
