Bovinoโ€™s (whose name, it pleases me, autocorrects to โ€œBovineโ€) appearance seems to indicate he believes heโ€™s a character in a video game, with all humans as his targets. His behavior indicates heโ€™s at minimum a sociopath. Our society has long produced such; their violent fantasies are now empowered

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. I'm not on food stamps. I don't get Medicaid. I rely on no social safety nets. But I still believe in fully funding these programs. Why? Because I'm not a selfish dipshit.

NEVER FORGET: Donald Trump & the GOP REFUSE to negotiate with Democrats for extension of ACA Subsidies which = $32B.

Donald Trump gave $40B to Argentina, 75B to ICE, & TRILLIONS in tax cuts to the 1%. Trump's America!

Mike Johnson is a lazy welfare queen. He doesn't work, takes our money, and we pay for his healthcare.
