Is Christmas a religious holiday? Sure. The same way a lot of folks are named after people in the Bible, but are atheist. It started off as one thing, and turned into a lot different things, to a lot of different people. Stop being absolutists, and be of good cheer, you fucking weirdos.

I want Hunter Biden as the next dem attorney general.
“I’ll be surprised if the copper pipes are still in the walls when Trump leaves.”
With Shawn Ryan Hunter Biden rips “openly corrupt” Trump for Kushner getting Saudi BILLIONS + negotiating peace deals, and fact-checks the “10% for the big guy” line Republicans attack him with

Liberalism fights to improve; it does not tear down recklessly, it does not Wipe The Slate Clean, it also doesn't Glorify The Past; it remembers mistakes and works to correct them.
Liberalism seeks justice, equity, fairness, opportunity, the belief that people have the right to self-determination.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.
That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

What every member of my new political party should shout every single day:
Donald Trump inherited the strongest post-Covid economy in the entire industrialized world, and he has singlehandedly fucked it up. Trump has singlehandedly fucked up our economy.
Say it out loud Dems.

He is filth. And if you support this man, you too are filth.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

The bottom is falling out for Trump and Republicans.
We are witnessing it with our own eyes in real time.
We see it in election results, poll results, court decisions, a splintering GOP base, pushback among GOP rank-and-file, and bubbling anger over everything from prices to ICE.
It’s all there.

This may just be the weakest we’ve ever seen Trump at any point in either of his terms.
His threats are failing.
His lies are failing.
His health is failing.
His economy is failing.
He is still dangerous, but this is a far cry from the dominant Trump we saw in the first 6 months of the year.

Trump’s been having a lot of bad days lately, but today stands out:
*Indiana GOP kills his new maps
*Letitia James indictment fails for a 3rd time
*Judge orders Kilmer Abrego Garcia released
*New poll show him hitting historic lows
*Embarrassing clips of Noem, Leavitt making the rounds

The way he brings in Anchorage, Alaska (where Putin made 0 concessions) I read as “Putin threatened Trump in Alaska, and by bringing up Alaska, he is reminding Trump of that threat”. Gotta read these people as the mobsters they are!

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
