"Every single way"?? How about, you know, NOT VOTING TO SUPPORT THEIR FASCIST LEGISLATION? "Autocrats only succeed" when our reps capitulate. How about that, Chuck? 1/... Via Rupar: Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at […]

Crazy US king spews nonstop despicable comments and lies from his keyboard and the world of writers gleefully echo their foulness claiming wisdom in the minute examination of his bowel movements. Both sides desperately seek recognition. Better to ignore the foul #*️⃣ and just clean up the mess […]

Thought Police. Freedom is only for those who blindly support the King. They are all such weak men that a child who doesn’t salute or a woman who doesn’t obey is a threat to their toxic masculinity. https://journa.host/@mathewi/114117888429757056

Where the hell are Biden, Harris, Obama, Clinton? Have I missed any statements or guidance from them somehow? I’ve seen nothing. And Congress. I credit some of them for many things they are doing, trying to do. Credit where due, always. But I would think more fiery language/fight instead of […]

Via Charlie Angus: My reflection on the 3rd anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine. Trump has revealed himself as a Kremlin stooge. 27% of Canadians now believe we have an enemy regime on our border. Canadians and Ukrainians are tied together, closer than ever. Slava Ukraini "Is Trump just a […]

Could have just taxed billionaires. Just taxed the ever loving $%&@ out of them but noooooooooooo couldn't do that. Not in this casino. Had to give them the keys to the vault and then a full body massage and pretend they're big brain geniuses because they've NAILED human exploitation.
