Just to be clear - MAGA Catholics are okay with "Bob" being called "Leo" but have a problem with "Glen" being called "Glenda."

Libraries exist today because they were built and donated by the richest men of their time.

Because information and education was considered a treasure worth sharing.

No libraries have ever been created or donated by Elon Musk.

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.

Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

Don't call them "transphobic."

A phobia is a deep-rooted and irrational FEAR.

A fear of heights, germs, or crowds can be phobic.

They do not "fear" transgenders. They mock, humiliate, and persecute them. Fearlessly.

They do not fear transgenders. They HATE them.

That makes them BIGOTS.

Apparently U.S. Navy ships become pirate vessels once they arrive in international waters.

This is not 4-D chess.

Still waiting on the check stubs and bank receipts for all those 100+ year olds getting government money.

It's long past time to set up a shadow government.

Voters suppression efforts in a low-turnout election like 2024 wouldn't work with the voter turnout having Obama on the ballot would cause.

Because it's the very model of "efficiency" to fire government employees after you've spent money to recruit and train them.

I'm sure their new civilian bosses will appreciate the cost savings as they scoop them up at the unemployment office.

So what happens when Ukraine rejects the Trump/Putin "peace plan"?

Do we also declare war on Ukraine?
