"How to Think (and Act) Like a Dissident Movement". This is a critical read.

Oligarchs buying elections with million dollar giveaways. Hopefully people in Wisconsin won’t allow the South African to purchase a seat on your Supreme Court just like he bought the US federal government.

Oh! Another good one!

Yes, a silver lining

Deep condolences. He looks like he was a handsome boy.

Yes, me too. Not sure why.

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

What a shameful scene we witnessed in the Oval Office today.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

I keep wondering when karma is going to catch up to them.

REPORTER: Is it your view of your authority that you have the power to call up any of the people seated at this table and issue orders that they're bound to follow.

I just LOVE THIS !!!

He nails it.

I have to confess, it's maybe 1-2X per week that I get to QB all on my own. I typically need to refer to the 'hints' for the last 3-5 words, which David says is cheating. I don't think so. I learn new words, and next time those words come up, I recognize them! That's how I get consistently to QB.

Yes, we are now known as an "adversary." SIGH

I'm a Spelling Bee fanatic instead

A line I heard recently and keep repeating: "Hey Karma, when are you going to step in?"

The depravity is beyond belief

I don't know who created this, but I think it's FAB
