"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

This is the thing I wish I could get through a lot of Dem politician's heads. Your colleagues in congress believe you are demonic. And they mean that *literally*.

Posters are now up at 18 businesses in downtown Raleigh!

As an introvert, this little excursion of mine was kind of a big deal. Feeling pretty good about it.

Only 5 businesses said no, and they were all apologetic.

๐Ÿ‘‰ I am happy to customize for your city if you want to print & post. DM or reply.

I say Epsteinโ€™s name now because I couldnโ€™t for 30 years.

For decades, survivors have carried the shame while the people who harmed us kept their power.

Saying his name isnโ€™t about him. Itโ€™s about reclaiming the truth he tried to erase.

Iโ€™m not part of his legacy.
Iโ€™m part of the reckoning.

Next time you find yourself in a discussion about the differences between liberals, leftists, democratic socialists, moderates, progressives, and never trumpers, remember: billionaires don't give a fuck. We're all the same to them: human capitol stock. And they love it when we fight each other.

Please remember this in the days going forward:

Everything going forward could have been avoided if Republican Congress members simply did their job and obeyed their oath to the Constitution.

Itโ€™s that simple. They abandoned the country. They can say what they want, but thatโ€™s what happened.
