🔹️$2 million for Alaskan king crab 🦀
🔹️ and even $98,329 on a Steinway & Sons grand piano

Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.

I can so relate to this.

Frankly, if this comes as any surprise then you really need to start paying attention.

SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school.

Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of “precision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence.

Don’t look away —we should all see the deadly destruction

I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!

Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.

“Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥

I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.

Monday's Thought - Instead of making voting easier, the GOP does all they can to make it more difficult. Now, everyone has to provide ID to register to vote. Now, they want Passports, etc. for us to actually vote. That is a Poll Tax. They base these onerous conditions of fraud. There is none.

The problem isn't voter fraud, it's the frauds we're told to vote for.

Iran kills 7 American soldiers after being attacked by the United States without justification and is a "barbaric and terrorist" regime.

The United States kills 150 Iranian school girls for no reason and is on the side of goodness and right.

Yeah, right, Lindsey, you lying drunk.

The only person Trump never threatens or criticizes is Putin. Ever.

Just throwing anything at the wall at this point

Higher oil prices = Higher everything prices

Trump just found another way to make your life more expensive. For no real reason. While innocent people die.

When people say this moment feels alarming, they’re right.

But it’s important to recognize something else:

This didn’t begin yesterday.

It began the moment a presidency decided that truth was whatever the president said it was.👇

The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos.

This is true. But they aren’t the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.

the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

There's a code of conduct that says remove your cap when the national anthem is played in a stadium so one sure as hell removes it when honoring fallen soldiers.

Arrest the goddamn president

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

The real problem is that we have a president who is being blackmailed by Netanyahu and Putin.

Whatever it is, it must be pretty bad.

Why on earth would a GOP Congress go along with this?

The ultimate answer is money.

Yes, World, It's Worse in America Than You Think Earlier this week, a friend from Australia sent me a text.

This is a Constitutional crisis, and it’s a family emergency.

We’re wondering what happened to our nation, and to people we once loved and respected; to our parents, grandparents, siblings, neighbors, and best friends...

Spring forward... Fall back... whatever.

Can we just pick ONE & stick with it once & for ALL?!!! ⏰

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
