The worst part of living through these times is that no one can trust the government in charge of running the country. Is the produce in the supermarket safe? Is the control tower only half staffed? Has my great neighbor of 20 years been arrested (or worse)? What am going to do if I need a doctor?

When Republicans get home from today’s trip to the supermarket, where they emptied the shelves of Kool-Aid, you can be sure they’re running to the mailbox, anticipating a check from the White House.

A Democrat should file a bill on Monday for everyone to get $5,000 checks right now to see if Mike Johnson, John Thune and congressional Republicans will advance and pass it. Call their bluff. Pass the bill.

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky responds to those demanding that survivors simply “name names,” saying the responsibility for accountability should never be placed on those who were abused.
“It isn’t our responsibility. It’s always been about the accountability shifting from the abused to the abuser.”

At a propaganda event pretending to honor 9/11 victims, the orange felon lied about being rescued by firefighters and said he was jealous of a 9/11 hero and victims for being more famous than him. It never amazes me how much of an evil piece of shit he is.

Let’s see … the U.S. AG knows of sex crimes and says they are to be ignored. Our immigration force brutalizes and kills people it wasn’t even looking for. The president violates the Constitution hundreds of times (maybe thousands).
Tell me again, Mr. Trump, about your devotion to law and order.

Nothing in my state can be blamed on even one Democrat. Missouri is representative of what Republican “governance” looks like in action.

This is copied verbatim from the 2024 GOP platform. Don’t hurt yourself when you fall to the ground in laughter.
