Excommunication a possibility? This Pope seems deadly serious about this issue.

Something we learned from the Biden years: people fucking hate inflation, and they stay mad and vindictive even after prices come back down. Enjoy President Taco!

Is ok to focus on the latest example of Presidential wrongdoing and evil though (without making excuses for the others?)

Making me feel bad for Thomas Massie is a colossal feat…

Combatting disinformatiom must happen in the context of social identity.

Seems dumb to do in a potential swing state. But these guys aren't all that smart.

Let's say he gets to <33, what would be the intervention in your view?

Don't ever underestimate the cognitive dissonance of these folks. We are talking spinning like a stripped gear.

Time for new leadership. A child could see through the GOP’s ruse: nothing was gained and ACA will be up on the chopping block again!

@ossoff.senate.gov I live in Cumming and would like the senator to vote for new leadership in the Senate. The latest capitulation was plain embarrassing (and will not protect ACA).

A 25K family income couldn’t pay for the shitty 850 sq foot β€œranch style” I grew up in next to a dirt road in fucking Douglas County, Georgia.

Joyce Carol Oates
@Joyce... 17h O
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciatesβ€” scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the
"most wealthy person in the world."

Definitely doesn't have the media chops and the reality show faux credibility of Trump. Now she has pissed off the MAGAts. I think she can even win statewide office here in Georgia.
