Why is “Go big or go home” supposed to be motivating? All I want to do is go home… like isn’t that the objective? Clearly going big is the worse option.

I legit would want to see a cage match between Zelenskyy and either of the three musk-a-turds. Mostly because I’m 99.99% sure Zelenskyy could easily beat any of them in a fair 1:1 fight.

Trump doesn't care. This so-called "great reset" is actually just a mass culling. Everyone seen as "useless eaters" regardless of race is facing the loss of their EARNED benefits, including medical care. No camps, just do absolutely NOTHING for the elderly poor and working classes till they're gone.
When their Social Security is gone, I wonder if Republicans will even remember that they voted based on grocery prices—prices that Trump is now making even higher.

Litmus test question- would you rather be mistaken for being trans or mistaken for being a nazi? If you’d rather be mistaken for a nazi, you can fuck off.

Or maybe you’re being too much of an apologist for democrats that are sitting on their hands as our government collapses in real time

Is #Zelensky aware of the #MichaelMoore film #CanadianBacon ? I’d be curious as to both of their takes on what is going on. Could @thedailyshow.com arrange something?
