The math here is truly incredible. I’m going to spend Thanksgiving feasting on rage.
We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.

The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.

Which is why the rage.

Keep track of every dipshit politician who backed Cuomo and kick em’ to the curb when the time comes. They showed you who they are. That’s not gonna change. You don’t get rewarded for betting on the wrong fucking horse.

Born and raised in Omaha—Schmaderer’s tenure as police chief has sucked for pretty much all of it, and his handling of the 2020 protests was ass. Not surprised he still can’t keep a grip on the racist assholes in his department. I’ll be surprised if those chucklefucks are actually fired

I was pretty much born a Cubs fan but, as a kid, Ryno was the player who sealed the deal for my lifetime love of the Cubs. RIP to an absolute legend.
With great sadness, we share that Ryne Sandberg has passed away today.

I cannot express in words how much Jake Tapper can lick my balls.
"A society can't allow EVERYBODY to have free speech!" is a helluva take.

The real fun in all of this is how they both are still giant, gaping assholes and nothing can change that.

Surprised this dipshit even got in the door but hats off to the punks who consistently know how to take out this trash.

It becomes more and more obvious everyday that the republican party wants this country to be as uneducated as possible. They've seen the numbers and know the uneducated are far more likely to vote for them.

Ahhhh, the American dream of fighting over less goods that are more expensive.
Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

It never ceases to amaze me how often the elected officials of Nebraska just completely ignore or try to override what their constituents OVERWHELMINGLY vote for. Just another classic example of money and the rich being the most important thing to politicians.
‼️ BREAKING: LB415 advanced this morning in the #neleg
34 Nebraska senators voted to undermine the will of the people who voted them into office. ❌AM545 to LB415 was advanced to Select File.

We’re asking you to take action–find your senator on the list and find out how they voted:

How do you pronounce MAGA?

Do you say “MAH-guh?”
“MĂGG-guh?”
or RAY-sis?

This is Bacon's favorite fucking trick. Bookmark this and if by some miracle something comes before the house, Bacon will fall in line immediately. He's a spineless coward, who's all talk and no action.
