Yes! But…don’t forget the elected folks who enabled or ignored his incompetence (including a guy now running for governor 🍌) & not one of them was a Democrat. If you’re angry about Ryan Walters, remember it in November ‘26. Elect more Dems, because two decades of GOP supermajority rule is enough!

Hey Ice Men (and Women), in 1945, former NAZI officials went on trial for war crimes in Nuremberg, Germany. A year later, 12 were sentenced to death and 7 went to prison for 10 years to life.
You should be looking over your shoulder and looking out for your soul.

It just dawned on me that the MAGA crowd is okay with Trumps demented dementia. They have it themselves, has to be the reason they continue to follow him as the story changes and the lies get lost in the dementia.

I want to opt out of the A.I. wave? I do not need A.I. but could use some good old fashion educated thinking.

At 71 I do not need more technology to tell me what/how to write. I am quite wordy as it is.

And, while we are at it, I do not need my computer upgraded, we are fine just the way we are

We need Trump to keep doing what he is doing until after November 2026.

Someone asked if I was a history buff.

I can confirm it is a historical fact.

So Bill Maher is endorsing Cuomo.
Sure Cuomo got a "little handsy", but at least he is not Muslim.

If there was ever a reason to vote for Mamdani that would be it for me.

Mamdani has rolled his sleeves up and put his hands on the problems New Yorkers want fixed

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.
