I block Andrew Cuomo and Al Franken apologists.
It's being reported that Schumer was in conversation with the 8 on a daily basis. He knew.

I'm just not philosophically on the same page as DSA at all (and, to be fair, some (not all) of them have had their own problems being sufficiently fighty over the last decade). But wherever the fight nucleus is is where I'm going at this point.

OMG I have the same problem with the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, which I now sing with the words to Piano Man.

I can promise you that my local food bank is involved. You know what would be great though? If people not involved with a church would volunteer. It would be a great change of pace. But it never happens. Be the change you want to see.

How about no more drama queens who call criticism of a Nazi symbol unfounded? Destroy his life, Christ on a crutch, take some damn responsibility for your own actions, and don't tell poor people your life is "destroyed" when you're rich and famous and listened to by crowds.

I'm thinking of offering a new editing service to turbocharge your investments and let you see around corners: I hit you in the head until you agree to look at objective reality. No, Musk isn't selling cars and there's no ballroom.

Ooh, the Pope doesn't like Alito's bespoke cults that allow him to flaunt Catholicism and vote for extra death penalties. So Alito, used to always getting his own way, flew to Rome to lecture the Pope. Brave move!

I'm sorry, please don't let my temporary inability to read sarcasm bother you! We need all the humor we can get.

They haven't run anyone but centrists since FDR.

Thank you, Pope Leo! Schools aren't job training; they are an important part of how we become thoughtful citizens. We should help people think so they can take on a number of jobs during their lives, and raise their families.

Politicians are the most replaceable people on the planet. Yes, your neighbor could probably do better than our Senators by not being beholden to donors. You know it's true. Well, maybe not *that specific* neighbor, but how about my cat?

Here's the deal: NY is in debt, only rich people have money, poor people by definition have no money. It sucks that Trump is defunding the state but that shouldn't mean "let people starve because Bill Ackman won't stop calling me."

"For God's sake, be quiet about the purges of women and Black people from the military and government. No, even quieter. People like it when you defend them in whispers only."

No, it's a way to avoid men with curly hair who can't shave every day. In other words, it's so he doesn't have to see any Black people.

Black men and men with curly hair can get pseudofolliculitis barbae from shaving too often. These men are given waivers so they don't have to shave every day. Those are whom our government won't meet: men who give their all to our Armed Forces. Disgraceful.
