My age makes me Burr
but my spirit is Hamilton
I know there's a fight
but not for my life
The door will close
before I see the light
I feign control
but could submit with one fall
My only strength my voice
Which I will exercise in defense
of the future, yours, not mine.

Squealing GOP hypocrites know they aided a coup — only relentless truth will expose them

Everyone remembers. We watched it live on TV. After a fairly mundane election, in which Donald Trump simply wasn't capable of accepting a loss, he chose instead to fire everyone who dared to tell him ...

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

Gallego: This is an excuse

Breezes stir, leaves skittle, time to seek heartiness. Bourbon straight up, a meat heavy menu, roasted bones filled with savory gelatinous, thyme flavored fat. Crisp baguettes begging to soak up every drip. Camaraderie abounds, welcome scarves and a satisfying walk home. #SenseWrds #Writingprompts

A ledger should be a pledge not a tease. But when you think you’re too smart, they’ll never know is when you fall down the temptation rabbit hole. Co-workers become suspiciously nice, offering jasmine tea, rice cakes, solicitations. Insomnia becomes the curse and you fold. #inkMine #Writingprompts

Dems are actually winning this one. Chuck don't blink. Don't fucking blink. Let them sort it out. Even Marge is tired of this.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: What's your message to Democrats ahead of the next vote to open up the government?

TRUMP: They're the ones that started it. It's almost like a kamikaze attack by them. You want to know the truth? This is like a kamikaze attack

As Americans, we ask tough questions and demand real answers. When those in power attack journalism and silence scientists, is that patriotism or manipulation? Real patriotism is protecting dissent and demanding facts. #TruthBrigade

Oh the irony, they want to send troops to cities to fight their brethern but they don't want to pay them.

SERIOUSLY? Clashing over resuming session to PASS emergency legislation to pay our military during a maga-controlled shutdown 🤯🤬

There should be no reason to clash & more importantly, there should've been NO govt shutdown to begin with 🤬

This shutdown is doing more harm to Americans & America!

Republican leaders are clashing on whether to return to session to pass emergency legislation to pay troops during the government shutdown.

This case is far from over. Watch for the release of the second autopsy and how Cleveland, Mississippi will step up or if they will step up with deep results. Mississippi mud is steeped in the blood of Black men. #History #reality

Get in the ring
Put your fists up
Fight for your rhetoric
Be a man
Not a mouthpiece

Words are cheap
The only thing cheaper
The speaker
Do your own dirty work
Stop hiding behind the thugs

Pick your opponent
Mano a mano
As many rounds
As you can last
Then STFU

Good morning my pretty. Kiss me quick before mother sees you off of your perch. You know she doesn't approve. But how can our day start without our exchange. You see by the light it will be a lovely day, I will tell you every detail before we say goodnight.

#moonmystic Shattered windows are a shock, an affront, an assault, the act of a coward. But bullies go back under their rocks, glass is swept up and daylight returns. #writingprompt
