It's time for my traditional Halloween red state soup. Strictly vegan, no Republicans were boiled alive in blood to make this soup.🤣

BHO is the only president so far that is younger than me, now Leo XIV is the first pope born later than me. It's possible that all presidents will be younger than me from now on. This could be my least interesting post ever LOL.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.
I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense
I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Impeach Trump AND Vance for treason. It's obvious that neither of them are fit to be president. They seem to be willing to hand the Russians unconditional surrender and sell out our friends and allies.

I'm sickened by by Trump's outrageous behavior regarding Russia, Ukraine, Greece and Germany and at the UN! He must be removed from office promptly, which will require that Republicans in congress display a little courage. He's a traitor and should be in prison for the rest of his life.

Trump just told a series of lies on the radio claiming that "DEI" caused the DC mid air collision and blaming Obama and Biden. The breathtaking outrage of Trump's deceit is nearly matched by the lack of preparation by the media against Trump's predictable firehose of lies.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents.
He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity.
Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

Let's look at the important facts; If his name was Hunter Smith or Hunter Jones he never would have been prosecuted, and had he contested the charges a conviction would have been impossible to obtain. The prosecution and entrapment of Hunter Biden was an outrage and the pardon is 100% justified.

So pleased that Everett Washington raised the minimum Wage. People working full time shouldn't have to go on food stamps to feed their kids. Rents are just too high for a lot of people to afford.

About 10 % of the federal budget is interest on the debt. The only way to to reduce that bill is to raise revenue by taxing the heck out of the super rich and corporations and spend it only on deficit reduction. We could quickly cut that down to less than 3% of GDP. So why don't we? 😆
