The entire republican apparatus is a vehicle to troll decent society. This is all a joke to them. They are so bereft of any joy or ability that they can only find stimulus in destruction and the suffering of others.

For satire to work, it must either be so outrageous as to make us take pause or it must be rooted in truth. I believe this is satire rooted in truth.

He is smart, and he is precise. He would not say this without proof. More importantly, if it were a false statement, where is the lawsuit? The fact that the most litigious person I know is not suing is proof that DJT fears the discovery phase of a trial.

I would like them all to show, then each, alphabetically, separated by 30 seconds, get up and walk out. A steady stream interrupting him. Continually taking his spotlight.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Nihilism of the soul. They are hollow. Their positions are only trolling. They believe in nothing. The only stimulus they can sense is the enjoyment of others suffering.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

These would have service vendors. Get them under heel. Boycott, get them in the papers/media. Make all operations impossible.

And they use it as an excuse to alienate, to tamper. The GOP is incapable of ideas that appeal to the public, so they must resort to cheating. They are the party of moral rot.

Graphic with a black and white photo of France Ellen Watkins Harper. On top of the photo, there is a poem by Frances Ellen Harper, an abolitionist and suffragist titled "Bury Me in a Free Land". The poem reads  "I would sleep, dear friends, where bloated might/Can rob no man of his dearest right; My rest shall be calm in any grave/Where none can call his brother a slave."

Frances Ellen Watkins Harper was a prolific writer who fought for women’s rights and the abolition of slavery.

She was one of the first Black people to publish a short story, authored many celebrated poetry collections, and helped enslaved people escape through the Underground Railroad.
