Single payer, NO insurance companies. Cuts overall cost of medical care by at least 25%

Similar pictures at GM, Ford, etc. along with rusted-out, closed assembly plants. 47's economy is headed down the loo.

Brown shirts, soon to be followed by federal forces.

"If “legal ethics” has become an oxymoron, we are in deep trouble. And so long as they are routinely disregarded, the phrase is a hollow slogan. It need not be this way."
There's no "If" about it. We're way past the tipping point.

Actual warrior and patriot.

@quicken.bsky.social -- FIX your QWIN CC-501 bug !

Then, add the code needed to support sales of specific LOTS. It's pathetic that your overpriced product still doesn't support that commonly used feature.

"Girlfriend"? Seriously, who would date that bug-eyed troll?

All government powers in this country are limited by the Constitution. The Constitution is our framework. Well right now, the Constitution doesn’t even matter. We have a president who is raising taxes because his feelings are hurt, nobody stops him, even though the Constitution makes clear he has no power over tariffs. None. But he does it anyway.

Lawyers investigating their own. What other outcome would be expected? The entire process of disbarring corrupt or incompetent lawyers has been a joke forever. Compare to independent state licensing boards that can revoke professional licenses. No such thing in the case of lawyers.

All true, but name one president who hasn't had murdered people in other countries with which the US wasn't in a congressionally declared state of war.

Artillery shell detonates over I-5 in Calif.; fragments drop on Vance's security detail The governor had objected to the plan to fire over the freeway and ordered a 17-mile stretch closed — against the guidance of military officials, who had said it was safe for it to remain open.

Reckless disregard for public safety.
