Not as funny as I wish I was. I sell Enterpise marketing software, volunteer with my kids’ schools & sports, traipse about with my spouse, and am trying to make sense of what being an American means these days.

If you lied to start a war that killed millions so you and your friends could make billions, you don’t deserve to be treated like a national hero.

Thou shalt not complain about crime in D.C. when you’re a convicted felon who incited a violent mob to attack Congress with the goal of hanging your own vice-president.
Oh also, thou shalt not complain about crime when you just transferred a convicted pedophile to a luxury resort prison.

Kristi Noem says it’s lazy of SOUTH PARK to make fun of women, specifically her for how they look. Maybe. But she seems to think it’s fine to arrest and assault people for how they look.

If second-term Trump does actually get a nuclear accord with Iran, which actually prevents war with Iran, many - including on the left - will want to credit & praise him.
And yet we are only on the brink of war because first-term Trump tore up Obama’s nuclear deal with in 2017!

Don’t forget, Chauvin’s state crimes can’t be pardoned - and that’s the longer of the two sentences. Also don’t forget the people who support that murderer.

WOW: Trump says Qatar’s $400M plane gift is “free.” Sen. Warren: “You must strip it to the frame - every nut, bolt, screw - to ensure no hidden transmitters. That’ll cost BILLIONS.” There’s no free jet. FOLLOW THE MONEY. Repost now to expose Trump’s grift!

In theory, yes. Yet here he is, operating like this. What do we do @govpritzker.illinois.gov??
If the Trump Administration were a business, it would be blacklisted.
You can’t operate like this, whether you’re the President or not.

SCOTUS ruled that Trump had to give people adequate notice before deporting them.
Yet today, there are reports that he's deporting 177 immigrants with under 24 hours' notice—not enough time to assert due process. We cannot stand by as this admin continues to disappear people.
