Take this poll to stop Newsmax from putting another selective statistic out into the political ecosystem:

Suggestion to the next president of the United States: replace Trump’s official portrait with a Polaroid of an empty suit and hang it in an undisclosed White House bathroom.

Here’s the creepiest ad I’ve seen in awhile. Is this guy threatening to cut people’s dicks off?

Can we all make an agreement to start calling Donald Trump, President QVC instead of DJT?

Ryan Walters resigned to head a MAGA interests group to try to destroy teacher’s unions. My hope is Oklahoma will take this chance to appoint a new superintendent of schools that actually believes in education and not religious indoctrination.

Tried to get a Covid booster today. I was told by the pharmacy my insurance wouldn’t approve it without prior authorization from my PCP. Despite having dialated cardiomyopathy, I’m having to jump through hoops to get that thing our HHS Secretary said anyone would still be able to get.

WWJD? Not what Kilmeade said on Foxnews

"It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment".

holy war. The letter was truly the ramblings of a madman couched in the language Sunday School wisdom. Stay safe out there, don’t accept the proposition Charlie Kirk is suddenly good just because his death was tragic, and hopefully we can stagger through this latest crisis relatively unscathed.

So my congressman sent out a letter confusingly talking about giving more power to the government, simultaneously speaking about limited government being the goal. He also attempts to martyrize Kirk while talking about God’s love driving out Satan.

Sitting politicians are angling for a domestic

Let’s not fall into the traps that will surely be laid in the days ahead surrounding the life and murder of

A mentor of mine often said, the first person to resort to threats or violence in an argument, is the person who lost the argument

It saddens an worries me that Kirk or any human being has to die or live in

college students in the US in live campus debates for click bait, but often shied away from debating experts on major topics. He used inflammatory language and showmanship to build a following around a carefully crafted persona. Those that saw through him were frustrated with his fans that

Did Charlie Kirk deserve to be assassinated? Absolutely not.

Was Charlie Kirk a “good person”? There are no good or bad people, there are actions by people that have consequences.

Charlie Kirk promoted a narrow, misogynistic, racially driven view of Christianity and Conservatism that poisoned

So my previous posts about the Kirk situation were apparently too saucy for Bluesky’s community standards. I don’t believe anyone deserves to be murdered.

This is the classiest way of calling Vance a pussy I have ever come across.

This is truly one of the best illustrations of what is happening in America.

The development comes after a policy from Alberta's education minister outlines new...

Pay attention, Canada. If Alberta is successful in this book banning, this will spread. Look around you, b/c this is how it starts. We're on the same ledge the US was on. And we either start fighting this right-wing rise now, or we follow the Americans over the edge.
