My grandpa had a high school diploma and a union wage as a truck driver in Kansas City.

He made enough to let my grandma stay home with four kids and they still bought a house in the suburbs, had two cars, and sent one kid to private school and college.

That would never happen today but it should.

I have said this on multiple occasions, but it won’t be the Epstein list that removes him from power.

It will be the economic pain.

Our government may be closed but our politicians are still for sale dirt cheap.

We also have closeouts. They're slightly used. Some have a lot of orange dust on their lips, but they still lie to their constituents like they're running for office.

Come on down to MAGAMart!

The question of "why do people vote against their self-interest" is pretty self-explanatory when you look up the literacy rate in local schools.

We have high schools with a literacy rate of 32%.

Thirty-two percent...

I first heard this song on an AM radio in Dad's 1956 Chevy in 1958. These graphics make it much more kid friendly.

I'm no homecoming king but that guy has the most Nosferatu-like face I've ever seen.

That crazy tell he has of jerking his face to the right when he knows he's lying creeps me out.

He needs to be benched. He's not ready for the varsity, or for any team for that matter.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

TRUMP IS A LYING PIECE OF SHIT
and he's destroying America's global relationships.

Here's what Reagan said about tariffs. Judge for yourself if Canada's ad took anything out of context.

From Jesse Dollemore: Steve Bannon & The Convicted FElon both have stated that everyone is working to have him win 2028 for a third term, which is a violation of the 22nd amendment. Steve Bannon said there's a plan in place & when time comes it will be released. Project 2025??
We must remove them.

I HAVE A TREMENDOUS IDEA: HOW ABOUT THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT NOT JUST REBUILD ALL THE SHIT DONNY DESTROYED, BUT ALSO ACTUALLY HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS CRIMES — AND LOCK HIM THE FUCK UP ALREADY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY POST, WHICH YOU CAN READ HERE: bit.ly/4hrlTV9

gone. just fucking gone. all that beauty, all that history.

destroyed, just so that a broken-inside narcissist fuckstain can build his tacky dance hall for billionaires.

what a fucking travesty.

our next Democratic president is going to have a lot of cleanup work to do — but one of the many things they must campaign on is a vow to put all this shit back the way it was before Cankles McRottinghand assaulted it. not just the Epstein Ballroom, but also the parking lot where our beloved Rose Garden used to be.

oh, and how about next time, we actually hold Little Donny Fuckface accountable for his crimes, and not sleepwalk for three years until it’s too late to do anything.

In rural areas it's hate radio ala Rush Limbaugh that has done this since the Reagan era. Missouri once was a state that elected Democrats to our statehouse, congress, and even the Whitehouse. Hate radio did that.
