I have three things to say to everyone who keeps repeating the claim that the Dems are trying to fund healthcare for illegals
1) Google is free
2) You might be too lazy to look at the actual proposals but millions of Americans aren't

I was reading through "The Art of the Deal" last night and I could not find the part where it talked about telling your opposition to capitulate rather than negotiate with them

Someone told me that if one starts on any Wikipedia page and keeps clicking on the first link, it will eventually lead to their philosophy page
I didn't think it was true until I tried it a few times. 8 tries. 8 trips to the philosophy page

There's a rumor on the internet that Sydney Sweeney will be the new Bond girl. As someone who has read all of Ian Fleming's novels and seen every James Bond movie at least twice, I'd like to say HECK YES! to the idea of Sydney Sweeney as a Bond girl 🎥

If the Dems regain the majority in both houses, I don't ever want to hear another member of "leadership" say we couldn't get such and such bill passed through Congress

Just so we're clear, if someone tells you that they need a certain government program to live, and your response to that program being cut is "well, we're all going to die" then you should never, ever call yourself a Christian
