"We don't talk enough about…"

Can I stop you there? Yes, we do. If anything, we talk too much about.

I think what you mean is

"We don't do enough about…"
Disheartened to learn that Biden did not, in fact, kill Christmas.

When did Republicans abandon The War on The War on Christmas? It used to really get me in the spirit
Trump will NOT announce war tonight. He doesn’t distract from one scandal by highlighting another

It’ll be something new:

- EO declaring farmers American Patriots
- seed oils cause trans rights
- Biden killed Xmas but it’s HOT again
- Medal of Freedom awarded to the spirit of the oil derrick

“A picture is worth a thousand words, so I skipped through all the pictures, and man this show sucks”
I was asked what I thought now that #pluribus has reached seven episodes.
I’m not seeing any of the liberal subtext some folks are seeing. But I’ve learned to watch the show by fast forwarding through the long, artsy stretches where no one speaks.
There were exactly 2 lines of interesting dialogue.

Who’s gonna be building this list? Pam? Kash? Grok?

Sure, Pamantha. Have AI build an “extremist database” for you. It’s gonna spit out a list of cabinet members’ and Republican congress members’ names.

[A sheet of paper] cannot just be by itself. It has to inter-be with the sunshine, the cloud, the forest, the logger, the mind, and everything else. It is empty of a separate self. But empty of a separate self means full of everything.

Big, mysterious booms in the middle of the night have been disturbing Albuquerque. So I’ve started a project to pin down their origins. Right now the major hurdle is quality data; usually I’ll only receive one other observation other than my own, but with more I can get more specific than an arc.

There are a million reasons to despise MTG but uh… who wouldn't hang on an extra month and a half for the same?

$200k pension ÷ 150 million taxpayers = 0.1 cents each

She stood up to Trump once. Low bar, but more than hundreds of others in congress have done. I'll support it (but not a penny more)
If you’re wondering why MTG is waiting for January 5 to resign….it’s always about the money

The psychic harm done to the American public by the myth that a politician is "good" because he's "just tellin' it like it is" is incredible.

If someone is a racist psychopath, "but at least he's telling you the truth," THAT IS NOT A GOOD QUALITY

Honesty is only virtuous if your acts are, too

What does a trillion dollars look like?

We simply aren't wired for scale, and I think it's important to understand. So here are some visuals I put together to help out.

Here's a 6' dude standing next to a stack of 620 $100 bills. That's $62,000—the estimated median income of an American in 2025.

Don’t extrapolate my words—a singular act of defiance is just that and isn’t worthy of deference:

People like this are so quick to advocate for violent revolution from their desk chair, yet so unaware that real change needs numbers—numbers that start to grow from singular actions like MTG’s.
