Look at that weakling posing as a real soldier like he was in a TV show because he's afraid to death someone will what? Hit him with a Chicago Hot Dog?

Yes it is. It's happening all over Chicagoland. And in other cities, too. This is what every MAGAt wants.

There is a law in California that reopens the candidate filing period for an additional five days if an incumbent decides not to run for reelection.

Top 10 US billionaires’ collective wealth grew by $698bn in past year – report Oxfam warns Trump policies risk driving inequality to new heights – but Democrats have also exacerbated wealth gap

The filthy rich creeps running the country want to get rid of democracy because they don't have all the money. Yet.

Cancel your cable subscriptions. Don't stream these behemoths, or if you do, change frequently, costing them money and screwing with their bottom lines.

Get an HD antenna, like $50, and watch the networks for free.

Nora O'Donnell has no integrity or self-respect.

Or she's a greedy jerk making bank.

Screw CBS and their filthy rich pig owners.

I mean, didn't Jesus say "suffer, little children"?

Sorry, that was the Republican Bible, where cruelty is the pointl. In my version, "...Jesus said, β€˜Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belong.' " NRSVA Matt. 19:14.

If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven)

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.
