they'll have the concept of a plan in about 2 weeks

gee. I wonder where all that distrust of the news came from? 🤔 I just can't swallow anymore of their bullshit.

The GOP blew past debt warnings. The markets have noticed. Treasury bond yields have crept up as Wall Street wonders if either party is capable of improving the nation's fiscal trajectory.

Buy #Bitcoin. it's the only chance you've got to get ahead of a global economy that goes into hyper inflation as a direct result of Republicans' irresponsible economic policies. We're going to need a term worse than "Great Depression" to describe what's coming.

it's a sad commentary on the state of affairs when the positive spin reads like a career killing headline from a decade ago. I have the polar opposite of a silver lining mentality now. It's much better for my sanity to just call out these bastards for exactly what they are.

She's winning the race! but let's talk about something entirely irrelevant just to avoid talking about why we're losing.

LA: “Your children will one day grow up and know their fathers or mothers were kidnappers against our own people.”

time to join the campaign and cast a spell of silence on the party. 😆

the logical mistake is to assume that people who call themselves "Christians" spend even one second thinking about what values they're supposed to uphold and defend as part of their "faith". They're just along for the free eternal life perk without understanding it's not actually free.

typical Republican. Absolutely clueless. the Internet remembers FOREVER, and Trump is not immortal. The second he does and all these cockroaches scurry back into the shadows, we need to drag them back into the light for a reckoning.

Phang: Holy crap. Think about that. Oh—did I just say “holy”? Well, it fits…

So, the church keeps its tax-exempt status while actively engaging in politics. Of course, this becomes a way to funnel money and circumvent campaign finance laws. Think about that.

it's always about the money, and the power to steal more of yours. if it didn't make them richer, none of these greedy bastards would care about being politicians at all.

maybe we should all refocus our efforts on getting money OUT of politics, instead of letting the thieves IN.

but if they can get everyone in the department to do 5 jobs for the price of 1 like Rubio, then they can take the money they're not spending and put it in their pockets.

psychiatrists should start brainstorming a new disease to describe whatever the hell is wrong with Donald Trump.

he could cut rates to 0% again, and Trump would still find a way to destroy the economy.

she's like the cosplayer at comicon that nobody wants to take a picture with, so she just photo bombs everybody until they call security.

they'll do anything to keep their clutches around the throat of American power. ANY. THING.

Eisenhower didn't actually order that intervention by the national guard, Arkansas Governor Faubus of ordered it, which is an important distinction. Eisenhower may have requested it from the Governor, but he did not invoke an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act in that situation.

"A civilization's true worth is judged by its compassion and justice towards those who are least able to protect themselves." - Mahatma Gandhi (restated from Plato, I think)

My biggest fear is that people are numb, when they should be terrified and full of rage against what's being done in their names. It's not looking good right now, to say the least.

It'll probably be another 7-2 loss for Trump, but it should be 9-0.

*there's a reason this hasn't been tried in the past 150 years.

Yeah, there's a reason for that. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the federal government from using the military as a domestic police force. The national guard is established as part of the Army and Air Force, so those troops are not exempt.

I could write a War & Peace length book with nothing but a list of things MAGA is clueless about.

Misogyny as a business model is the weirdest corporate ethos I've ever seen.

Ya know.. for a party that's so afraid of population decline in the US that they're proposing a $5,000 check for new babies, the GOP sure seems to be dead set on killing as many kids as possible by convincing parents that vaccines are dangerous.

Control and money are a Republicans 2 best friends.

To be fair, I can't imagine alien overlords being that much worse than the billionaire overlords we're stuck with now.

"Enemies of the State" Jews were the main target of Nazi hatred. Other individuals and groups considered "undesirable" and "enemies of the state" were also persecuted.

Where have I heard this type of rhetoric before? Oh yeah, 1930s Germany.

Sounds pretty Nazi-like to me.
