When the next Democratic candidate is running for president they should have a "day one" plan that just involves a wrecking ball for the ballroom, restoring the Kennedy Center, starting the investigations and firing everyone at ICE

Done!

Eight dessert loaves baked & packaged by me with #MadeInTheUSA ingredients & materials. I paid 65$ to UPS to ship it to Montreal.
Received an email from UPS in Lachine to pay another 25$ in #tRumpTariffs for the package to reach its destination 🤬

Preparation for tonight's dinner began at seven this morning, but a slow-roast duck is worth the wait and weight 😉

Happy Birthday, #MarkLanegan

"Drunk on destruction
Feel I'm fading away
Drunk, drunk on destruction
Feel I'm fading away

Death is my due
How I never wondered
Turning the screw
Into the dirt
And now I'm going under
A silver haze bleeds from the sun
I am the target and the gun" Drunk on Destruction

You're Goddamn right we do, @governor.ca.gov. Thank you for saying it. This f*cking l*mp d*ck "fight" for democracy we've been seeing out of these folks is the pinnacle of utter incompetence and lack of will to win.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

Can you imagine taking a job wearing a mask and indiscriminately beating and abducting human beings?

They must all be very proud boys...

When people tell me, "Things will never be the same again!," I remind them...that nothing is ever the same again. Both in good times...and bad. Our job is to turn it around...no matter how many years that may take...and make Goddamn sure things are NEVER the same again. We'll make it better.

He does not care if the American people starve. He doesn’t care if we die. We are nothing to him.

“.. perhaps the most cruel and unlawful offense the Trump administration has perpetrated yet — freezing funding already enacted into law to feed hungry Americans while he shovels tens of billions of dollars .. to Argentina and into his ballroom.”
