It seems so American that we've forgotten- or simply disregard- what was learned in the past. At our core, we are a nation of children.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

There is something very essential about being free to believe or not believe as you choose, and to be tolerant of other people's choices.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

I thought it was the Before photo for a Weight Watchers ad.

The entire American economy is being held hostage to the whims of a guy who doesn’t understand how the economy works

I think that there are many non-maga Americans who still don't believe it.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten β€” just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Of course we'd be asking the very people this would affect to vote it into law. Tough ask of people who get off pleasuring themselves.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Even with the pick-six Mahomes threw on the goal line, their special team play killed them: 3 penalties on KO returns to including nullifying a 61-yd return & Butler kicking out of bounds to set up Jags winning drive. As Kurt Warner says, "Details".

A Facebook page is NOT a website, and you'll never get my business if that's all you have - because I (and many others) do not and will not use Facebook.

Actually, he looks like a villain in any setting you picture him in... Because he just might be a real life villain.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

Over the past few seasons, the Chiefs have succeeded with a rollout by Mahomes & a quick pass into the flat.
