How to Win the USAID Fight Rules for Democrats.

The sad reality is, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't know there's a voter for the Speaker going on, don't care & won't be able to name him after the vote. This is what happens in a country where civics education is no longer universal. Its absence lets darkness settle in over democracy.

Orwell's prescient description of a typical MAGA in his novel 1984.

Odd that her line in the sand was him fleeing like a coward rather than the murder of many thousands of his own citizens, but okay.

New friend was disappointed that I couldn't give him treats.
