Leak the Epstein files. If they refuse to swear in the respected 218th Vote Arizona Adelita Grijalva, then release the files and just leak them. Make a mistake...
Ooopsie!!!

Would being kids make it any better?
That’s not what we taught our son.

Who’d guess a GOP chat could turn into a gas‑chamber joke war? This analysis pulls the data out—75 years, 1,400 victims, and a chain from rhetoric to violence. Ready to see why it’s more than ‘kids’?

I bought the CD of Les Mis when I was a Junior in High School back in ‘90. I know every word to every song but never thought I would be singing those songs in our streets. #NoKingsOct18

“Ruthless, arrogant, reckless and hot-tempered. People seldom vote for someone they describe this way. In Canada, anyway. Each of these two Cdn political leaders can see where they stand. One can choose to continue the path he has been on. The other shouldn’t, if he wants to win the next election.”

When you take the sky and the ocean out of the equation, blue is surprisingly rare in nature. https://ow.ly/upfZ50XbMQA

Fair Vote Canada 🗳️🍁 @fairvote.ca · 23h

Newfoundland and Labrador’s election shows the problem again. A party can win a majority of seats without majority support.

Proportional representation would make every vote count equally and ensure real majority rule.

Two pie charts compare votes and seats in Newfoundland and Labrador’s election. The left chart shows the popular vote: PCs 44.5%, Liberals 43.7%, NDP 8.4%, Independents 3.9%. The right chart shows seat share: PCs 52.5%, Liberals 37.5%, NDP 5%, Independents 5%. The graphic highlights how first past the post gave the PCs a majority of seats despite not having majority voter support, with a message calling for proportional representation.

The reason I bought one of these. I lost too many finger prints.

But were they beating them with flag poles, gouging out their eyes, crushing them between doors?
Oh wait, that was January 6th.

They don't even pretend to be operating in good faith, so why do the Democrats pretend they do?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."
