We're there! People keep saying "we're headed, leaning, slipping, etc. No. It's here! God save us.

The reason I mention it is because there seems to be a 'group think' where they all say much the same thing.

Odd take, there. Sister is MAGA (FL) and her new complaint is kids on electric bikes 'running people over.' Must be a relatively new complaint from MAGA/Heritage...young people on vehicles?

MAGA wins elections, by hook and by crook, so why are they still so angry? Because it's not about the state of things. It's about hate, and they will always hate. And they have the hater-in-chief to lead them.

What to do if there is no emergency? Create one. smh.

I watched "Hidden Figures" the other day. I was struck by how the whole nation, the 'little people', seemed to rooting for the USA in the 'space race.' Not so much now. Like almost everything, it has been taken out of the public's hands and right into the hands of the oligarchs. Grand theft.

We're there. There's no 'sliding' toward. Wake up. Revolt.

Just so you know, the US taxes Social Security to pay for golf outings, a lavish ballroom at the White House, a hiring bonus to ICE, and the invasion of two American cities..LA and DC. Your tax dollars at work!

He didn't have far to go, but I agree.

Our e-bike has helped us avoid buying a second car. That's hundreds of dollars a month and a bunch of garage space that we can use in other ways!

Related, I will be using it to take Kiddo 1 to school. I expect it'll save time compared to a car that would get stuck in dropoff traffic more easily

I get groceries on my etrike once a week, run to the store for supplies, go to the eye doctor, etc. I'm thinking of putting a foldable ebike in my trunk so I can get get home and then ride it to pick up the vehicle when it's in for maintenance. Love 'em.

Trump always intended to invade Washington D.C. and while no one can admit to tolerating him, everyone seems to.

Unless the age of consent is lowered to 13, which is in the works in certain states.

I assume Paxton means what he says here...that only liberals will be indicted.

Except for abortion and vaccination. Those shall be prohibited by government.

Now the atty general of Texas is calling for the arrest of Dems, while his OWN party tried to impeach him at one time. smh.

I don't believe in the death penalty. But I do believe that Trump needs to be indicted (again).
