Colbert nailed it 20 years ago: reality has a well-known liberal bias.

Republicans have been pushing for this for decades. Voting against their own interests with idiots from Hoover to Nixon to Reagan to Bush.
They don’t want to see it, so they won’t.

If you’re paying attention to anything T says, you’re paying attention to the wrong things.
T lies, bullies, fantasizes, rants and rambles. Whatever spills out of his mouth in the moment, to get a reaction from his audience.
Watch what he does.

Did you know? Singapore’s highways are wrapped in lush vertical gardens that gobble up pollution, slash noise by half, and cool the city by 8Β°F. A living, breathing urban hug, these green walls turn concrete jungles into serene, eco-friendly wonderlands (youtube.com/watch?v=example).

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

The Speaker of the House Is Abetting Authoritarianism Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.

"To bring a democracy under authoritarian control, you need more than a strongman. You need politicians who will assure the public, as we slide toward one-man rule, that nothing odd is happening. That’s the role Johnson is playing in Trump’s takeover of America." www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

I expect most ICE thugs will keep working. They love what they’re doing and would probably be glad to do it, even for free.
The National Guard troops - maybe not. They should all just go home in protest

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Time for the House to get to work. This ridiculous CR is dead. Sit down and work together to write a new one.
The β€œmy way or the highway” bs has to stop. It’s your job to compromise.

Sad but true.
They can have β€œobservers”, but no vote.

But a lot of people seem to be counting their chickens way too soon.
Hope for the best. But be realistic too.

Am I the only one that remembers the iconic pic of Clinton beaming like the canary that swallowed the cat over the Rabin-Arafat handshake?
T isn’t the first president to claim to have solved the Middle East problem. And I’m betting he won’t be the last.

Or at least bar them from using β€œFox News” as a chyron. It’s not news. It’s pure opinion and propaganda program and should be labeled accordingly

So β€œGreat Again” means back to coal. Or maybe campfires and wood burning stoves?
