If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Has he been labeled a ‘domestic terrorist’ yet or are we still calling him a ‘lone wolf’? Given the party he supports they might just throw in a ‘he is mentally disturbed man’…..

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.

Dear Humans,
Here’s how it’s going to play out:
1. Republicans are going to attack Joe Biden until his last day and giddily celebrate his passing.
2. Then when Donald Trump inevitably passes away, and the world celebrates, these same people will feign outrage until the end of time.
They suck.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid.
But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.
Courage is contagious.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.
It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Avoiding town halls, dismissing those who depend on social security, shamelessly hawking Tesla stock, firing thousands of veterans...
They're telling you exactly who they are accountable to.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Imagine if the most prominent member of the Biden administration had reposted, in agreement, someone calling a prominent GOP senator a ‘retard’. Would have been the end of the world, biggest scandal ever. The asymmetry in American politics continues to grow. Just wild to see.
