I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks.

Now we know, they have no idea where the shooter is, or even who the shooter is...for that matter. I mean, what could go wrong when you have an FBI Director with no experience...and an idiot president who insisted on firing the most experienced and longest serving experts at the FBI.

The head of the CDC who resigned today said on MSNBC, it became obvious to him that RFK Jr believed in Eugenics. The theory was popular and practiced by Hitler. RFK believes that the survival of only the fittest will lead to a stronger race. Hence no more childhood vaccines, no more COVID shots

Everything Trump is doing is aimed at making it harder for Democrats to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat. But we are going to fight like hell in court and we will win.

Show Me the Gerrymandering Missouri

Usually, I am no fan of gerrymandering by either party, but I am tired of fighting with one hand tied behind my back. Tired of bringing balloons to a gun fight. Tired of playing by the rules when one party stopped doing that decades ago.
