Political junkie and social media whore who knows just enough to be dangerous and always seems to be looking for rhyme and reason in all the wrong places. No DMs unless it’s an emergency 🚨.
Can someone please tell me how and why the American consumer has come to not only accept, but to expect their price of their health insurance coverage to go up, even as their benefits shrink? Are we such dedicated little Capitalist drones that we never stop to question this persistent pattern?

I’ve decided I’m moving to D.C. and opening a consulting business called Grifters Anonymous. I have no experience whatsoever, which should give me just the edge I need to beat out the more highly-skilled competitors.
I expect business to boom as we get closer to the release of the Epstein Files.

MAGA is tripping all over itself trying to dismiss their Great Orange Leader’s obvious cognitive decline as AI-generated fake news,(or whatever).
I’d respect them more if they said, “Yeah, he’s totally losing it, but I still love him and his eff’d up politics!” Not by a lot, but more than I do now.

The future of America is brown. (Or, at the very least, off-White.)
Those circa 1939 Berlin posters the Department of Labor has created belies the fact that the demographic of the USA is shifting rapidly, becoming more ethnically diverse.
The future is coming, dudes. embrace it or get left behind.

The only thing at to stop a bad State from rigging an election through gerrymandering is for a good State to do the same.
It’s a sad fact, but a fact nonetheless.

I try to only attack policy not personality, but when one observes MAGA priorities, they seem to represent America’s “id” expressed in the form of xenophobic, racist, misogynist, homophobic, White Christian Nationalism and hubris, to name a few. As the late Charlie Kirk would say, “Prove me wrong.”

So, Comey does MAGA a great service by casting a cloud of doubt over HRC at a critical moment in the 2016 Presidential Election, but MAGA is now trying to turn public opinion against him by casting a cloud of doubt over his integrity by bringing charges against him that they have to know aren’t true

After her illustrious performance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I suggest we replace the common usage of the name “Karen” for a raging, out-of-control White woman with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement with the moniker “Bondi”. “She seemed nice until went all “Bondi” on the poor jogger”

Forgive me if I’m stating the obvious, but I believe DJT is manufacturing a crisis situation in major cities to creat the conditions that do not currently exist with the intention of using it as an excuse to declare martial law and suspend the midterm elections in 2026 and for the Presidency in 2028

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.
Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.
They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then
