this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Is there anything better than talking about film performances? Rhetorical question.

ugh, I gotta hand it to them that staking the shutdown on healthcare was good politics. Republicans genuinely don’t care if their policies kill hundreds of thousands of people.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 1d

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

Trump: "Washington DC is now so safe. Restaurants are booming, nobody is being shot and killed. They come in from Iowa, Indiana, they come from all over the country and the parents end up getting a phone call that their son was killed. Not anymore ... Chicago is safe. Now it's really safe."

I support spending as much money and giving as many “handouts” as possible to get unhoused people off the streets. I don’t care if it’s “unfair.” The dog has to let you take the ball if it wants you to play fetch.
