It's natural.

I am an Earthling and so are you.

Figure out who you are and be that. Don't waste a minute living someone else's life.

Question Authority

Fascists kill hope for the future.

Stop electing conmen.
How come we're talking about Guilfoyle's cash grift and NOT about her threatening to take down Greece's government?

So these bloodthirsty ghouls want to live stream executions.

Soon you can pack a picnic lunch and bring your kids and cut off an ear as a souvenir.

Just like the old days.

I'm ashamed to be from a country that just stole 3 million dollars worth of desperately needed fuel from the citizens of Cuba.

I think changing to an all Republican military is a huge mistake. Without any "wokes" around a more intelligent military will annihilate them.

If women don't have the same rights as men maybe women shouldn't have to pay taxes.

I'd say this is the most popular meme in WV today. Imagine a university that has played football for something like 140 years completely forgetting to develop a defense. Was it steak & lobsters & caviar for the offense & a small sack of potato chips & a candy bar from Dollar General for the defense?

Maybe they can use that super intelligence thingy to figure out how much waste, fraud & abuse the Republican Party & the criminal organizations that support them have perpetrated on the American people in 2 short years. Extremely wealthy people hate government regulations on anything. Clean water?

Just saw a commercial for a 1 dollar coin the dirty orange bastard is selling for 10 dollars.

The Republican Party is a god damn disgrace.

The opposition party must really suck to not be able to run away with every fucking election.

WTF?

Maybe we should try to fix violent people with mind altering substances like LSD or Ecstasy before we dispose of them.

Most likely, violence and mind bending mistreatment broke them.

Inhumane confinement and torture doesn't rehabilitate anyone and only increases the cruelty capacity of the state

I'm so old I remember when some religious people had integrity. That was before they realized they could use religion to gain political power and enrich themselves.

WV is perennially one of the poorest states in the nation. If as a college sports you want to watch even ONE game a year on TV you have to first give some billionaires over a thousand dollars a year. Meanwhile, Ohio State & Michigan & Notre Dame & USC & UCLA & a few others are on free TV every week

They used to say that the airwaves belonged to the people. The FCC used the Fairness Doctrine to provide a voice for dissent & it also encouraged diversity in thought expression. Now the FCC attacks the regime's declared enemies. Perhaps we need a Voice Of America aimed at Americans. Is it too late

The local rightwing media is still celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. That's 2 months in a row. The republicans are pretending that Hispanics are human beings in the hopes one will still vote for them while they're bashing in their brains and stuffing them in warehouses or deporting them.

Instead of investing so much money into Ai we should've used a couple of bucks to bring human intelligence up from zero.
Too many people believe ridiculous things that have been proven not true.
Give me scientific inquiry over religious fanaticism every day of the week
Hope is real, faith is fake

I get more curmudgeonly by the minute. I've been around so long I can tell pretty fast when someone is lying to me so naturally I'm telling the TV confabulators to STFU almost constantly.

The truth is discernible and it's not the least bit subjective

Still the fog and smoke shows keep rolling in

The chyron on the local rightwing media outlet is screaming about democrats blocking the wonderful things this regime is trying to accomplish. A republican supermajority can do any damn thing they want to do with absolute approval from the Extreme Court
The media is stepping up lying for republicans

I'd rather make sure there's not White supremacists and Nazis in the military.

Environmental regulations on industry are extremely important & shouldn't be ignored. In 2009 the WVDEP rejected a permit to drill a Marcellus well in Monroe Co. because of the karst topography. Tests showed underground communication in ground water.Today's republican controlled agency wouldn't care

The fact that republicans are still winning elections in the 21st Century is absolute proof of the failures and inadequate preparation of school children in America.

By now, it should be clear to any intelligent observer that the Republican Party hates the democratic process and wants a dictator.

Republicans are domestic terrorists.

Kicked millions off of their healthcare.

Starving millions of children by denying SNAP benefits.

Using racial discrimination to kick highly qualified persons of color & women out of the military.

Extremely corrupt using tax money to enrich themselves

Etc

Deport the Extreme Court.

We've got ignorant people making asinine decisions about issues they don't understand.

The Republican Party having power is a natural disaster that effects us all.

Nearly everything needs to change to protect society from those sociopathic, nihilistic, self absorbed irrational reactionaries.
September 29, 2026 at 2:24 PM
Republicans are racist scumbags and so is every democrat that supports mass deportations without Constitutional legal protections.

I saw Maserati Manchin being interviewed on a right-wing news channel that claims to be news for everyone. While declaring his new political party (Independent) is the largest voting block in the country, he breathlessly endorsed republican candidates like Collins Independents are often republicans

I worked with a crazy old biker who got religion & became a preacher because his bike caught on fire. He ignored a leaking carburetor until it ignited while he was riding it. To me it was a lack of motorcycle maintenance but to him it was an act of god, both starting the fire & living afterwards.
