71. He/Him. Woke, I think. Rural. I've farmed, worked, able to join a union late in life, loving family all in Iowa still, being liberal makes common sense to me, and now, mostly bewildered that battles thought were won are reopened fronts. Patriot.

You are not alone. Being against "regulation" is a virus in the bloodstream of this experiment in self-governance. It's been there for lazy know-it-all's in coffee shops and break rooms since Reagan's "I'm from the government...." injection.

We're in this together.

Can America Avoid Moral Collapse? Even as Trump reverses himself and calls for the release of the Epstein files, he and his enablers may have already damaged our nation beyond repair

β€œYou and I and most Americans can reasonably insist he doesn’t represent us, but at what point does that become insufficient? In other words, is there a point when we cannot overcome the accelerating moral collapse resulting from his repugnant actions?”

The MAGA cult melded nicely with the anti-vax cult on Earth 2, existing from a possible temporal anomaly/rift occurring Nov 4, 1980. In that alternate universe slavery is freedom and truth is a lie and good is evil.
It's all so simple....

And they just aren't catching on. Could it be they have a different agenda than "All the news......"?

And, as I understand it, the possibility of an extension is just a "promise" of a vote, which Thune has assured Durbin will happen.πŸ€”

Being fairly critical based on everything we know, which is a lot, is not "losing our shit".
Again, no choice now but see what comes.
Looks a lot like a total cave to me.

Heather is talking about the Dem earlier offer, incl ext of ACA subsidies for one year.
This is not about the latest cave!

Tell me I'm wrong, please!

I agree that the 1 year offer was a shrewd.
Latest, seems like crap.

"Give it a chance"
My Trumpy sister said that after 2016.
I can know that they caved, know it's a disaster for this experiment in self-governance, and know that I'm pissed.
Yes, we'll get to wait and see how it works, won't we.

Gini and I have emailed Schumer. We're from Iowa so we know our senators are UNAMERICAN Republicans. Schumer does have to accept our emails since as the minority leader he....well.
Lifelong active Democrats. Just clinging to some semblance of hope for our country.

So tiring....as the Republican party crumbles and lays in an Unconstitutional pile of unpopular hatefulness, the Old Gray Lady must report on the Democratic Party's diversity as the "problem".
They can be counted on to help bring this experiment in self-governance down. Daily.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

Hmmmmmmmm....could it be..... THE EPSTEIN FILES?
Maybe too obvious.
They are hateful and stupid?
They are cruel and stupid?
They are lacking empathy and stupid?
They are UNAMERICAN and stupid?
They watch FOX and are, therefore, stupid.
They are STUPID?
