Virginia: Don’t be fooled by these deceptive, disgraceful, and deeply racist ads. What they are doing is an old trick with a dark history.

I believe we—the people—have the power—and we need to use it.

All about Stuart Sullivan

Stuart is absolute legend, people. At least go and read the gofundme page

Sooner or later, this kinda shit is what always happens when you give too much power to one person. Sooner or later the wrong person gets that power. This is the flaw in monarchies. And I guess in our system now.

Well, damn! It looks like the House has finally figured out how to deal with the bad apples without giving advantage to either side: both parties take out the trash at the same time, like they do for states joining the Union.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

I dreamt of an old friend Saturday night. She smiled and looked at me, but didn't say anything. I wasn't surprised at all when word came Sunday morning that she had passed away, because I woke up with the feeling that she had come to say goodbye.

Amen.

Welcome home, Joe!

"Jeane Kirkpatrick was our ambassador to the United Nations during the first Reagan administration. She was a Democrat. She did not change her registration until after she had left government. She was 59. Jeane remarked, 'I’d rather be a liberal.'”

Happy Easter, Christians! With a word from Jesus Christ himself, in his final sermon.
‘Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire…For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink, I was a stranger, and ye took me not in…’
Matthew 25

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.

Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
