And now we have Democrats like Jim Hines signing on to this war.

The country is being run by lunatics and we have no opposition party capable of helping us.

Why are people so surprised that these MAGAts are complete liars with exactly zero ethics?

It's official now. Republicans in Congress have handed their last testicle over to their Führer und Reichskanzler.

And we have this corrupt system because about half of our voters continually choose it.

And about 40% of our fellow citizens don't even bother to vote.

Part of the problem is that large numbers of people are distracted, dumb, or degenerate.

Jesus followers have been waiting on The End for 2000 years. The longer some of them wait, the more nasty shit they'll tolerate.

Again, eat the rich. For breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Oh, and a midnight snack.

Eat the rich. Fry them. Roast them. Smoke them. Or eat them raw.

"Why is everything so stupid" defines the 21st century, from the debacle of the 2000 election to the Iraq War to the Tea Party to the corrupt and crezzy game show host living in what we now have to call the Whites' House.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

As I’ve always said: billionaires pay tons of money to make you think your vote doesn’t matter. It’s insidious. Be very wary of anyone who tells you elections don’t matter, or that both sides are the same.

In terms of legacy media, if it weren't for *some* programming on MSNBC, we'd have little idea of just how dangerously psychotic the man is.

Yeah, but looking closer, it looks like we may be only 2 justices away from anointing a king. So, there's that.

When 3/4 of the world's population lives under authoritarian regimes here in the 21st century, one starts to believe that democratic self-rule isn't and never will be a natural state of existence for human beings.

To be fair to them, it's hard to have a theocracy with all those pesky protesters around.

Yeah, and 49.5% of American voters believe(d) Donald Tr-mp was their Ark.

We should understand two things:

1. No Democrat will ever get away with even the smallest inconsistency or error as long as The New York Times is around.

2. The press now just assumes people know how thoroughly corrupt Tr-mp and the Republican Party are, so meh.
