Fan of voting, common sense and Kenny Rogers. Nihilism and horseshoe thinking doesn't accomplish anything. It's mocked here. Tax the churches - yes, that one, too.

I read The Fountainhead and Paul Ryan totally understood Catholics. And engineering.

It's hilarious that people look at those fugly cars and see masculinity. I just see a parking nightmare.

This isn't a scoop.

Sure. I understand being desperate to feel better, after being offered all the opiates I want for an old injury.

And the options for fibroids were a hysterectomy or .... pain.

Definitely, and all chocolate is not created equal.

Who are you listening to? Joe Neguse or Joe Rogan?

Quitting Facebook and Instagram in mass numbers would wake people up.

Oh, so she finally understands checks and balances.

Also.... look who finally understands checks and balances.

How come people are angrier at Chuck Schumer's glasses than they are at ninety two year old Chuck Grassley's support for January 6th?

This sounds so fun. I'm glad we dismiss women 's health and reproductive concerns and embrace ageist political movements.

Bernie Sanders does a version of this too, and it is ridiculous. Campaigns cost money, vibes don't pay bills.

Donors hate 'indirect costs' but the auditors and printers and IT people like to get paid.

Yeah, I'm more skeptical of his whining about email/text fundraising by Mills when his campaign is doing the same.

I'm in fundraising, fundraising exists, whining that 'the DNC' is fundraising is dumb.

It's early in the primary process, and it's unfair of me to note that this comes on the heels of Linda McMahon's vaporization of Special Ed at the federal level, but....it does and I am not impressed.

I'm not a Maine voter, but I don't feel inclined to support overgrown 4chan losers.

I love/s your snotty decision that Democrats are going to adopt the Trump Administration budget, and the way you casually decide that Republicans have no agency in this budget.

It's nice and cynical.

It doesn't matter to you.

You're not everyone.

Yeah, I don't listen to Gavin DeGraw anymore. It really bums me out

Also, there's almost zero excuse for believing Jill Stein's garbage. She's as predictable as the sunrise.

January 6th happened. COVID mismanagement happened. Project 2025 was available. Libraries exist.

I get that Sinclair, Facebook and X weighted the scale towards Trump, but an informed, curious society is vital to democracy.

People can quit Facebook and Instagram and GOP sites. They choose not to.

The guy who called himself 'a fighter ' is really anxious about an actual fight.

Not great.

Don't cry for me, Argentina.
