It seems the perfect time to be reminded of this eternal truth:

YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislatu…

FCC Chairman Carr is “thinking”of removing the Equal Time rule exception for TV talk shows (but not right-wing talk radio), so CBS wouldn’t let Stephen Colbert air this interview with Texas senate candidate James Talarico. Let’s Streisand Effect the hell out of it on YT.

Today we celebrate #ChineseNewYear & #MardiGras

February 18, Catholics begin Lent with #AshWednesday, fasting & abstinence while Muslims begin Ramadan with fasting during daylight hours for the entire month.

So 新年快乐, Remember you are dust, and #Ramadan Mubarak to all who observe.

According to a Google search, an Executive Order cannot supersede a law passed by Congress, much less the Constitution. Ergo: "Only Congress has the 'power of the purse'; a President cannot use an order to spend money that hasn't been authorized by law."

So seriously, Congress! WTF!

Do your job!

Are we or are we not a nation of laws but also of justice? Do laws apply to everyone equally, or only to non whites or non billionaires? Is the United States going to end like this, or are we ready to stand up and demand Congress and the courts DO THEIR JOBS? #Epstein #Trump #Bondi

You know how we know Trumpf didn't write this? Several words have more than two syllables. Also, only his name is all caps. Clearly, this was written by a lobotomized underling trying to sound like Donald, but forgetting what a blithering idiot he actually sounds like.

To be fair, #Bondi hasn't been herself since somebody dropped a house on her sister.

Courage and integrity raise their hands, while shame, complicity, guilt and treason cast her eyes down.

Hey #DJT (You deserve neither the office nor the title of POTUS)

Maybe THIS could be your favorite #Biblepassage:

Has there ever been a more pathetic self-own?

Serious question: what would happen if I paid my 2025 federal taxes but

1) made the check payable to National Parks Service and/or

2) dated it January 20, 2029?

We The People need to repeatedly declare this government ILLEGITIMATE on these grounds:

1. It violates the Constitution and Our Inalienable rights daily, and
2. We do not consent and all governments derive their just powers from consent of the governed.

Before nature or circumstance take its inevitable course, your carcass will not yet be cold when all that tacky bling and self-promotion will be undone. All your "achievements" will be torn down. The day of your demise will be celebrated round the world.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Donald

You've dishonored and disgraced the office of President to such a shameful degree, you are no more worthy of the office, let alone the title, than you are of that pilfered Nobel Peace Prize.

Thanks. That's at least something. But the real puzzler is why the Google search was blank, and Snopes said "No results."

An anomaly or an algorithm?

I attempted to research the rumor that Stephen Miller's grandparents were killed in a Nazi concentration camp. Google won't even attempt to answer. Snopes.com says "No results." Does anyone have any idea how we can track down whether it's a rumor or fact?

Tell people Hell will be an eternal viewing of #Melania and you'll see a religious revival in this country like you've never been before. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
