Ridicule will help undermine MAGA’s war narrative. When America sees inflated frog & people doing wedding party dances, they will reconsider if MAGA is telling the truth. Trump has the most guns and people willing to use them. Unless our army stages a coup, our victory will be non violent.

Two wall signs are shown. One is titled “information” and contains telephone directory. The other just reads “signage.”

They can’t even settle the comma thing and now they want to do world peace‽ Not going to happen.

So your deviant thinking extends to “a hamburger is a sandwich?”

(Can’t resist a razz. I actually agree.)

Her final words can’t be IDK. Dems need to shout that MJ won’t seat her b/c she could change the balance of power in the House. MJ was elected democratically, but when GOP power is threatened, he chooses to cancel democracy. Otherwise we’re bringing a NPR totebag of Sadaris novels to a knife fight.

“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning,” said somebody once.

We keep fighting.

The NYC subway doesn’t have fare zones b/c you must swipe in AND OUT. There isn’t enough space on the platforms nor enough turnstiles to accommodate everyone stacked on the platform waiting to get out and the people waiting to enter. Fare zone transit has enormous exit galleries (see DC metro)

The sad part is that she HAS fallen for fear mongering, just by anti-science, anti-vax propaganda. She can’t even recognize that she is already deceived.

She should claim to be a “job creator” using state funds as seed money. States fund business all the time (and lose the money.) She didn’t think big enough-start a bakery in a “enterprise zone,” spend the money anywhere & and when it fails shrug her shoulders and walk away. Happens all the time.

Conventional wisdom is to settle for a BS funding deal that “minimizes damage.”

Newsflash: Trump doesn’t honor deals & he's already screwing the American people.

You don’t cower in front of a bully.

You punch them right in the mouth & expose them for the fraud they are.

Delgado could have been a strong choice, but he played his cards wrong. Who in their right mind would ever want to be NY’s Lt Governor?

This is going to be a tough meme to kill.

I guess “grow” and “change” were never on Cori’s to do list.

If NYC had remained the capitol of the US, then our leadership would be making better pizza decisions, if not geo-political ones.
