Bill Barr belongs in jail. Without him covering up the Mueller investigation we wouldn’t be here with Traitor Trump installed.

I Am Emphatically Pro-Preemptive Pardons
There are a lot of pundits out there discussing whether they think President Biden preemptively pardoning Trump targets is a good idea. For those who want a pardon, I say it's a fantastic idea.

FANTASTIC NEWS! Romania’s Constitutional Court has just annulled the first round of the presidential election due to heavy Russian interference. The second round will not take place on Sunday and the first round will be re-run. The electoral authorities will have to validate all candidates again.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

Murder is bad: whether you're a person on the street or a CEO denying health coverage. Both should be scrutinized, but one is provided cover in the name of profit and capitalism.

In the Pete Hegseth saga, I think one thing that isn’t getting said nearly enough is he’s not just accused of rape, he (allegedly) drugged and raped his victim after she came down to the bar to rescue two other women who said he was being sexually aggressive with them.

Did you know that Elon and Trump want to start using the same AI claim denial process used by United Health at the Department of Veterans Affairs?

After I moved to Canada a couple of years ago I realized that I was no longer constantly running a massive stress routine in the background of my mind worrying about health care and guns. It was weirdly noticeable only when it stopped.

In 2018, Hegseth's mother called him out as an "abuser" and asked him to "get some help."
Instead, he joined a church with a long history of shielding abusers, blaming victims, and saying men "dream of being rapists" because of feminism.
