Not to mention that the Republicans are not well known for keeping their word, in fact, they are well known for breaking their word.

Not to bring up an overly arcane point, but the moon, unlike the earth, does not have a global magnetic field. Given this, what could be the basis for designating south and north, and why would we call it a pole?

Can Democrats Mock Trump Into Defeat? As the president embraces strongman politics, Democrats are increasingly trying to make him seem little.

NEW: Send this to all your friends who like to troll Trump, mock MAGA, ridicule right-wingers, and taunt tyrants:

Q: Who is Mike Johnson being threatened by? I mean, if he's not bringing the House back, releasing the Epstein files ... he seems scared

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think so ... Do I think he's really up to the task? No.

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the โ€œancient art of lyingโ€ and manipulation.

Dont let up either. They want to re educate the public, and this can not stand.

Pope Leo says that American bishops need to be more vocal and support migrant communities from being abducted by ICE in US cities

"Important that we as church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what's going on in some cities in the US"

"The church cannot be silent"

Follow ups and not tolerating lies and bullshit.

When the files come out there will be Republicans and Democrats on the list. The Democratic party will survive because Democrats not on the list will express revulsion and contempt for colleagues tied to Epstein. The Republican party will not because they will attempt to defend the indefensible.

Either Trump doesn't actually know who was President at the time, or Trump's handlers are convinced that his followers are so stupid that they don't know or can't process the information, or both.

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

People voted for Trump who clearly indicated what he would do if elected - dictator on day 1. Those who voted for Trump thus voted for a paralyzed government system. No one gets away with "gosh, I had no idea".

Remember this:

To all the non voters out there, this is what happens when you stay at home and think your vote wonโ€™t count.

Look at us now and look at what is happening to our country.

YOUR VOTES COUNT. We donโ€™t want to go through this ever again.

Thanks,
America
