There’s a LOT this fool doesn’t know.

Fired fed too old to find a new job, so forced into retirement. But there’s no one around to process inquiries or applications for pensions.

BONUS! The GOP is fvcking with healthcare subsidies so no healthcare for this cancer survivor!

End the #GOPshutdown

Listen for the loud whistles. Carry them and use them. 3 short blows for sightings, 3 longs blows if you see someone being kidnapped.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.
