Find it difficult to accept that until this, many kept just swallowing the message that abortion bans= forced pregnancy and thought that religious "freedom" justified enslaving a human to house another potential person

Would gladly see Mount Rushmore imploded. It is a sacred sight already disfigured by slave owner, imperialists, privileged white men.

Donald's lies reveal truths about him. He is *obsessed* with Mount Rushmore because he is so thirsty to be added to it. His pitiable need for celebrating—pointedly withheld from his parents—is unquenchable.

But unless we get to the bottom of the absentee dead senator and get more votes in Senate, his sycophants might still fail to convict after impeachment; for a third time
JUST IN: House Democrats are reportedly coordinating with moderate Republicans in an effort to secure the 218 votes needed to impeach Trump before November 3 over alleged abuse of power.

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” on the other hand, is a phenomenal success.

The Odyssey was about being kind to everyone you meet, for they may be gods in disguise. It was also about the idea that when you destroy another nation, you destroy your own. Of course MAGA hates this message. They violate the fragile social bonds that uphold society. The president is a rapist.

He boasted in 2016 debates that he'd accept only a result where he won and was priming the media for stories about election fraud.
He then asked Russia to help him find dirt on his opponent. Why do we act surprised when he tells us in advance that he'll cheat?

He knew he'd lose a free and clear election. He just anticipated the wrong loss.
He was prepping to challenge the 2016 result more than he expected to win. It just took 4 years and 2020 loss to give him his chance

He wanted to complain about a rigged election in 2016 because he knew from experience that it was really hard to rig.
He merely surprised himself when his shenanigans paid off.
2024 was his upping the ante, after he stumbled on cheating himself in 2020

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
