Kick the moneychangers out, and they kill you. We need divine intervention.
They're OK with Trump as president if it means they can still be willing and eager slaves to their corporate CEOs. And, because they do the bare minimum to govern for The People, they lost and the pathological liar won.
It's pretty obvious what Democrats need to do, and it doesn’t have anything to do with throwing marginalized groups under the bus. They just need a clear set of “New Deal” values and a clear agenda that can help people. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-fec...

The raping, pillaging, enslaving and killing has been going on since the first Europeans came here. Land of the free has always been a lie.

The amazing part to me—always—is that his followers don’t believe this is what he thinks.
Back in 2017 the New Yorker wrote about how Trump has always loved bringing in foreign workers for lower wages for his own businesses, despite what the Bannon MAGA wing may have believed. www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

The Electoral College has no good arguments in its favor. Carolyn Dupont, a historian who has studied it, shows that you can't even defend it on "originalist" grounds because the EC of today bears little resemblance to what the Founding Fathers set up.
