Every democrat attending that mess should bring a survivor with them.
If Democrats attend the State of the Union, they should invite an Epstein survivor as a guest.

If they skip the speech, they should invite an Epstein survivor to sit in their seat.

There should not be one Democrat attending Trump’s State of the Union address. Instead, they should place a photo of an Epstein survivor on every chair.

I see that only a tiny fraction of you, my Bluesky friends, also follow @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social on here. Why not go follow right now? My guess is the more eyeballs we get here, the more attention we can give Bluesky relative to other social media platforms!

The true tragedy of evil is that it is not absolute. That even the worst of men can love their children, be moved to kindness. Damnation is earned piecemeal.

Niska: "We've seen a lot of damage to businesses as a result of Gov. Walz's policies. We're seeing a continuation of Trump deflection strategy, trying to blame President Trump for all the bad effects of Democrat policies...the idea of a bailout - I don't think there's going to be bipartisan support"

Seconded.
My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are:

Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job.

Thanks

Obama: "Right now we're being tested. And the good news is what we saw in Mpls and St. Paul, and what we're seeing in places across the country included here in LA, has been the American people -- at least a good number of them -- saying 'we're going to live up to those values we say we believe in'"
