Sitting here wondering how long it's going to take ND Senator Cramer to apologize to Hunter Biden, now that his son is headed to prison for killing a police officer while whacked out on drugs in a stolen vehicle.

In terms of seeing that we're all on this one single planet, it's one of the most important photos ever taken.

Agreed. IF Biden's administration understands the dangers of retaining Elon's contracts, AND they do nothing because trump will just "undo" it, THAT is obeying in advance. Throw sand in the gears. Make trump do his own dirty work. REVOKE his clearance and his contracts.
Why is the Biden administration silent on the richest man in the world doing the bidding of Putin?
WHY IS HE STILL A FEDERAL GOVT CONTRACTOR???

I'm guilty of the exact same mental misfire for the last 20 years or so.
I gotta be honest with myself; I’ve long thought of America as an empire in decline and somehow I thought that I could believe that without America actually doing empire-in-decline type things like electing the racist game show host twice and not allowing women to be president

Just a reminder that the GOP relied on the testimony of a man who just plead guilty to lying about a bribery scheme between Joe and Hunter Biden .
This was the main witness and story the GOP relied on in impeachment committee

An unelected billionaire was crowned co-President by the Republican Party. They’ve given him the influence to make a damn post that throws a spending bill into limbo cause House Republicans are scared of him.
No greater example of oligarchy. Where the ultra-wealthy run the show.

This morning, in advance of Assigned Media's Stay With Us package (coming tomorrow and Thursday), I've been musing a bit about the difference between messages that help people prepare for unpleasant, but likely, contingencies and messages that feed panic and despair.
