I hear Nate Silver was making fun of liberal Blue Sky users not being aware of the “end” of the shutdown.
Hey Nate: A)it’s not over. B) I was in the deer stand with my 30-30. What were you doing, Pencilneck?

The Bible says a lot of stuff but it only *tells* us one thing: about the reader.
The Quran has some horrible vile things in it, just like the Bible. If people choose to be religious, I’m thankful for the ones that cherry pick the good bits. ☯️⚖️✌️

“If they do this to the president, what happens to all the women in our country?”

🚨 The shutdown isn’t over. The Senate vote was a procedural step, not a deal. Nothing is reopening. Nothing is fixed. Eight Democrats helped move an old GOP bill while families go unpaid and SNAP stays frozen.

Nice FDA we have there.
One of the most widely prescribed drugs in the U.S. is the generic version of Lipitor.
FDA inspectors have found safety and quality violations at about half of the plants approved to produce it, records show.

Big Tent is fine but, like I said in the video, we *must* have a bedrock set of principles that we will *all* go to the mat for.
Do you want to know what Dems stand for or not?
Write those fuckin principles down, memorize them, talk about them all day, every day.
Start with Medicare For All.

I love the way people are like “hey when we have 218 votes, they’ll release the Epstein files!” And “hey when we elect a bunch more Dems, we will control Congress & put a stop to this madness!”
As if they are not actively planning on stealing the election & murdering political opponents right now.

When we have new leaders
Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

I've said this before, but will repeat now in light of last night's debacle.
Retaking Gov. with *these guys* in charge is one of the worst scenarios because they will *not* prosecute these criminals, reform SCOTUS, or the Constitution. They will not prevent a *permanent* return of fascism.

GOP: We support everyone who planned, participated in the insurrection, including attacking police. We will cover up pedo/sex-trafficking rings & ignore attempts to murder our Dem colleagues.
Dems: OK, but if we reopen the Gov do you pinkie swear to have a vote on healthcare?
GOP: Sure.

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.
