Given the impotence of outrage over the past 10 years, does anyone think an actual pee tape would make a damn bit of difference?

Recall, too, that the Canadian Embassy in Tehran hid 6 Americans from militants during the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979, and later snuck them out of the country in a joint operation with the CIA. We were writing Thank You, Canada letters in those days. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Screw Donald Trump! Black Man Spy Has Reached His Limit. Watch now | FAFO is coming ... a New American Revolution is Necessary.

Gotta love @malcolmnance.bsky.social ! This is the righteous anger the Dem's need to adopt since they don't seem to feel it naturally.

Ignorance like nobody has seen before. It's like nothing anybody has experienced... in the history of the world, probably.

Time for Mark to sign up, unlike us leftist pacifists who want no part of a Trumped up war with anybody.

Rep. Al Green, being escorted from the State of the Union address after heckling Trump early in his speech.

Rep. Al Green, being escorted from the State of the Union address after heckling Trump early in his speech.

The Dem's refusal to join Rep. Al Green in heckling the State of the Union, has left him to take the sole brunt of Republican censure. Imagine if every Dem had taken a turn doing what Boebert and Green did last year. Would Republicans censure the entire Democratic Caucus?
Bring it!

Al Green's outburst seemed to take 🍊 🀑 off his game for a moment. A good organizer would sense the momentum shift and work his side to repeat the success over, and over, and over. Let the story of the night be Dem's, not Rep's lies.
