It is inconceivable to me that any Democrat would vote for a DHS funding bill that fails to include a mandate that requires these federal goons to take their masks off.

No more Secret Police in America!

This is an all purpose hat. Google translates it as: now that’s it.

So rich people get tax cuts, old people get to sit on their couches getting monthly government checks, but young people get mandatory service. Yeah, that seems fair.

And move all the offices and bedrooms to a Trump hotel.

I wonder how much of this is obvious only in hindsight?

If Trump can offer you parts of Ukraine, can Ukraine offer you parts of Alaska?

But you don't see them lined up against the local police. To refuse to see the difference is either stupidity or disingenuousness.

The fifth amendment clearly states β€œno person” not no citizen.

In return for that, perhaps Ukraine should offer Vladivostok (HǎishΔ“nwǎi) to China. After all, why should the USA be the only country giving parts of someone else’s country away?

Seems like the relevance of this Reagan-era Herblock cartoon has risen by 200%. Washington Post, 12/22/1988.

I blame Ronald Reagan. Idiots who believed him when he said, β€œThe most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help” would naturally think that firing lots of government workers and appointing clowns to lead those remaining wouldn’t cause any problems.

Trump says the US needs Greenland for national security. Security from what? If it is from Russia, wouldn’t it be better, cheaper, and more effective just to support Ukraine’s defense against Russia instead?

There are times when this holiday feels like a gluttonous harvest festival putting on highfalutin airs about thankfulness.

Visited lovely Southport, N.C., USA this morning where this restaurant is adapting to sea level rise by using a mobile walkway to let their customers cross the street without getting their feet wet during high tide.
