I think about the tech toadies all the time. I think about how quickly they shed their nerd-guy-you-can-trust personas and embraced the toxicity of maga, trump, and even the Tate brothers. I say more than taxes.

I think people are rooting for leaders who are actively pushing back. I don’t mind a few f-bombs in words or actions from Dem leaders. I think it’s what we need right now.

In the world I remember, this would absolutely be true but the way people cave to his petty demands makes me wonder if he has a chance.

With Trump, I no longer say never.

But if he ever gets the prize, it will no longer be legitimate.

Unbelievable stuff.

The Power of Politeness Being courteous can be challenging in these times of online snark, but it is guaranteed to make you happier.

“Virtually everyone agrees that people are becoming ruder,” Arthur C. Brooks writes. But though you may not be able to fix the broader trends in society, you can—and should—be polite for your own sake.

When I say don’t mess with Texas women, I’m talking about State Rep. Jolanda Jones.

Oh yeah! :)

Trump is that old uncle that throws shade 1950s style and stands too close

Fact checking is fun!

Honestly did not realize Bill O'Reilly was still alive, and now I'd like to report his murder.

True! It’s a damned if you get the procedure, damned if you don’t.

🔥 Rosie O’Donnell, an American, responds to Trump threatening to revoke her citizenship — showing he is coming for anyone who opposes him eventually: “You are everything that is wrong with 🇺🇸… King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan. I’m not yours to silence. I never was.”

The fetus heart stopped and I decided to wait for nature to take its course. Money, grief and a whole bunch of issues were a part of my decision. As much as it was a wanted pregnancy, there was never a thought to preserve the tissue.

I could be facing charges if that miscarriage happened today.
