This is what‘s called push-polling. And the best that can be said of it is that it’s disingenuous. And don’t even get me started on the parentheses. Since it’s common knowledge by now who’s behind western separation movements, let me just say dasvidaniya.

That commercial hit hard back in the day.

Agreed, it’s carpetbagging 101, which some don’t even acknowledge, let alone condemn. And her campaign should cut the “anonymous Democratic strategist“ a nice cheque, all the work they’re doing for it. People are jumping in to defend her from an attack that didn’t happen.

Your bio promised horny postings. I feel cheated.

What bothers me most is the reach these cretins are given by those never-trumper platforms, like Nicole Wallace et al (who exposes her own issues, in my view, when decrying cover-ups by Trump while keeping the Bush admin’s secrets).

“I Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.

We'll let their words speak for themselves.

Major news networks need to stop having journlaists who know nothing about healthcare policy reporting on healthcare policy.

"She was never properly publicly recognized as an actress. She was a character actress, which means only that they don’t write any starring parts for middle-aged women."

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

‘Carnage of concern and upset’: Women’s Institute groups close after transgender ban Members warn NFWI decision has opened up toxic culture that deters younger women from joining

This is a powerful story for me. Several branches of the Women's Institute are closing across the UK in protest at the new trans-exclusionary ban against trans women. It cuts through the lie by the media and GC groups about speaking on behalf of women. Solidarity.

Disney's Tom Sawyer Island & the changing of eras since debuting in '56:

-'90s: No body, fire put out
-'16: Razed for Star Wars + Pirate's Lair

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

"Millennials or younger"

Um...perhaps that's because YOU HAVE TO BE AT LEAST 30 YEARS OLD TO BE A U.S. SENATOR, genius.

Over 37% of the population is under 30.

(I agree it'd be nice to have some younger Senators, but this guy ain't it.)

That's one reason why the powers that be freaked the fuck out about remote work. It allows people to fan out from the cities because you don't need to be in a city for a remote job. If millions of tech workers are voting from their Ohio hometown, Republicans would be finished.

Rank and file Dems (read: Black women) wanted Conor Lamb in the primary and shouted about Fetterman’s racism from the rooftops as being disqualifying. Guess who didn’t listen?

This is the product that changed my friend’s cat’s life! He was always overweight and when the urinary issues happened, she was told by the vet that surgery was his only option. This stuff solved both problems within a week!

Well, they must have something else on him now because he’s all in on killing truth.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

Yeah, it’s…a lot.

They're weaponizing the government against Brennan. An Orwellian exchange.
