#TrumpShutdown. Use it. Share it. Put the blame where it belongs.

Claimed to outlaw flag burning. The president doesn't have the power to invent laws in a democracy. We need to be careful when accepting the language and logic of our #fascist #dictator.

Half of Americans (52%) are now illiterate compared to 20% in the 1970s and 80s. I blame this on back-to-basics education. The first thing to go was civics.

Unimpeachable logic, especially regarding a lifetime scumbag like Donald #Trump

This is the seminal reason Trumpers are such losers. Once you start blaming others for your personal failures there is no turning back. As a result one never learns how to win. Blame is the currency of the Republican Party and these chumps eat it up. #trump #illiterates

This was inevitable. And I won't pick a side but I'm a sucker for outsiders. I think he would have won that one so this one would never exist.

But you can only push your finger up somebody's nose for so long.

The boy is a little slow. Probably because he was raised by a quack

Let me help. In the 1970-1980s the illiteracy rate was 20%. Today it is 52% (yes, 52% are illiterate) They can't read. How can they be expected to know things.

By the way, what ruined reading was the rise of "Back-to-Basics" education. It isn't.

Always try. It all wears down the fascist attackers and provides them with one more hurdle. Even losing is a small win.

To get that, some killing might be necessary. Because peaceful or violent the only thing that stops a dictatorship is a revolution.

Technically and clinically he's right, but not for why he thinks. Pedophilia only describes raping pre-pubescent children.

In his case, it's probably statutory rape.

Louisiana Republicans pass bill β€˜banning’ chemtrails, which are not a real thing The Louisiana legislature has passed a new bill to outlaw β€œchemtrails,” a made up and very fake thing that conspiracy theorists and other assorted fringe people believe in. Because of course.

Remember Big John? Apparently he's busting up New Orleans these days while the state house bans chemtrails. This must be paradise for the big guy.

Sooner or later the bots will arrive. It sounds like both sooner and later are today.

Agreed. This is a fundamental misunderstanding. Democrats missed that all the people they want to convert can't read. 52% of US people can't read at a sixth grade level. So Reps rely on verbal strategies. And none of their victims can fact check because they can't read.

He owns the can't r reead demo. They have no ability to check facts. These are the same people who learns stuff by reading only headlines and post in memes as if they think that is speaking.

I've been asking them if they know how to read and every one has avoided the question.

This is the Ben Wattenberg strategy. He wrote columns but considered them a loss leader. Then he'd turn some group of columns into a book. The books generated speech opportunities. And there, said Ben, is where he made his money.

The most disturbing thing ChatGPT could imagine is income inequality.

AI is woke, like all well-educated people. Good for us. After all, an image of a blackout at the stock exchange might have been ominous.

What's the takeaway from the Musk surrender and Doze dodge? It is that ordinary people can hurt bad billionaires if we all stick together.

And thanks to all of my local friends who stuck with demonstrating at the Tesla dealership. Everything was part of this win. #resistance100
