The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

I never understood how people of faith could vote for this degenerate scumbag.

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says 

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?

There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes?

It was only little over a year ago.

Also, a judge just ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Add in the huge electoral victories in Miami and Georgia this week plus the dissatisfaction of how he’s handling the economy and we can see a light at the end of this awful Trump tunnel

Hopefully we can survive long enough to get there

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Rep. Garcia: β€œWhy did they transfer her? Why won’t they tell us why and answer questions? We want Ghislaine Maxwell to come before the Oversight Committee and answer these questions. Ghislaine Maxwell should never receive special treatment.”

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.Β 

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.
