The difficulty in running a democratic republic in a capitalist society is that it offers the opportunity for selfish people to be elected - and selfish people don't share the wealth for a better society. They pursue wealth for themselves and to be above the issues their selfishness creates.

Christian Faith An Important Part Of Who Senator Pretends To Be theonion.com/christi...

A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed by Congress in 1866 and ratified in 1868.

I had to buy this jacket to attend my niece’s wedding and now I plan to wear it everywhere. Beer at Parilla?…I’m wearing it. Apple fritter at DK Donuts?…wearing it. Mowing the lawn?…yep. Trump’s impeachment trial?…hell yeah. If this jacket isn’t threadbare within a year I will have failed.

😂🤣👏

Dear Farxiga, Please stop saying the words ‘…swelling between your anus and genitals…’ in commercials during the morning news. I’m eating yogurt and you’re ruining it.

Niece’s wedding was lovely and I got to spend a lot of time with mom. Successful trip!

We’re #1!!!

Buffalo dogwood…looking healthy in this god forsaken humidity.

Apropos of nothing, I’m back under 190 lbs for the first time since 2020; the year of our global nemesis Covid. Barely under, but a goal achieved nonetheless.

I’m annoyed by the idiots in Florida chanting “USA” after the singing of the Canadian national anthem. Where do they think hockey players come from?! The Florida Panthers are only 35% Americans.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

If I had as little as $5k, I’d take over the summer food program this summer, right now, immediately. The school district has fucked up the program big time. I’ve been tracking the district’s progress. I feel so bad for the kids in our community. They deserve better. #FeedTheKids

This is a powerful photo.

In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Terry Moran.

Oh, honey . . . You can’t even get your wife back.

Mike Simpson, U.S. Representative for Idaho’s 2nd Congressional District, has ABSOLUTELY NO right to be discussing social security changes. He’s been in that role for 26 years!…if it’s failing then he has failed. C’mon Idaho…we can do better than this dusty 74 year old do-nothing.

Watching people riding bikes to the Greek Food festival reminds me that people don’t understand how to wear a bike helmet or how it will protect them in case of an accident. If you can hit your face on the wall while wearing your helmet, it won’t help you in a crash.

I asked ChatGPT for assistance with an argument I’m having with my MAGA great nephew (2nd cousin?) and it said it wouldn’t help…so I called it a coward and then it changed it’s mind. There’s no law against AI bullying, right?

#Boise - anyone know what’s going on at the M&W on Warm Springs? At least 5 cop cars and road completely shut down.

This was the book club book, and it was hard to finish. In all fairness to the author, I had just read The Bean Trees and so his writing was excruciatingly painful in comparison. The book is a success story in self-publishing, and I will keep my praise to that. 1/5 Don’t recommend
