Back from the dead...and really not happy about what is happening today. As I once incorrectly said “History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”. Nope. We have seen this before...
On what?
They couldn't even present enough evidence to indict her.
That time of year....
Roast and post!
You are more right than I want to admit

We can really take back the house, possibly Senate, if we run good solid relatable people. This is not the time to run on principle but time to WIN.
I worry about that
Schadenfreude just isn't as satisfying as hoped.
Midterms are coming. We need to present MAGAts and undecided voters with a better plan than "We are not Trump".
"It's said that you can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Well, apparently the Trump people can't do that,".
Despite President Donald Trump's Department of Justice promising to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), a Virginia grand jury has declined to return an indictment
Trump is doing exactly what Putin wants:
Territorial Concessions: The plan allows Russia to keep Ukrainian land seized by force, up to one-fifth of Ukraine's territory.
NATO Restrictions: Ukraine would be barred from joining NATO.
Sanctions Relief: Sanctions against Russia lifted.
Even if they do, he'll just insult them and change the subject immediately

Because it's not about drugs in Venezuela. It's about oil.
Btw 0% of the Fentanyl in the USA comes from Venezuela.
But they have 17% of world oil reserves.
Here we go again...
It rolls off the tongue in a weirdly accurate way

It operates on a spectrum of strategies, from safer use to managed use to abstinence, meeting individuals "where they are at" without judgment

Btw thanks for the civil discourse. Keep talking!
I am curious as well. I believe humor should make you uncomfortable at times.
Comedians may use discomfort to expose "uncomfortable truths" and challenge societal norms, forcing the audience to think critically about sensitive topics.
Oh I admit people can misinterpret the intention, especially if they don't bother to read the post.

It's a popular common well known meme about a bunch of big strong men and a tiny weak woman.
Us military, Venezuelan citizens. And the USA fucking the shit out of them
I'll admit to it being a risky meme but I think one has to look at intention. There's clearly no intention of denigrating African Americans here as they are portrayed as strong attractive people. Even the woman is not portrayed in a negative manner as she is smiling and obviously eager
