Chuck Schumer was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. Eventually the wheel of karma will turn again in the favor of sensible people, but God, am I tired of waiting.

2. Following up your action with a huge wave of accurate information about what's really happened would be your next right thing to do. Yes, that information will be denied by many and you will be hit with MAGAmenschen lies. So what?

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

So about this felon in chief's fantasy about making Canada a state.... It's a parliamentary Republic federating ten provinces. Shouldn't it be ten states? And if you go there, would those states still be able to legislate, tax and support each other to keep their healthcare and campaign finance law?

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)

How did jazz in the US affect, and how was it affected by, the struggle of Africans to throw off the colonizers? Watch to find out.
