Our house too. We're in Minnesota. I love birds, but this one may test my husband's patience. Tired of filling in holes that they create in our siding.

They say Maxwell is being treated like a guest at a hotel. No prisoner should be treated like that. They're in prison for a reason. Maxwell is a child sex trafficker and should be treated as such.

Such a liar. And he's so WEAK.
Because if Trump told the truth HE couldn't handle it.

Is Trump taking credit for all the lives lost in the meantime too?
I didn't think so.

Fact.
It's similar to the story of the bipartisan border bill that Trump nixed. Only Trump's actions in the Mideast made him responsible for more people actually dying.

Nixon did much the same when he sabotaged the Vietnam Peace Talks so he'd have an issue on which to campaign against Johnson.

This still amazes me. They're willing to allow themselves and their families to suffer in order to make those that they 'hate' suffer. That total lack of logic and common sense escapes me. I would never allow my family to suffer just to get back at someone I didn't like for perceived slights.

Someone needs to tell Mr. Sh*t For Brains that telling the world that he's opposed to antifa is publicly admitting that he is PRO-fascism.

Well, Mr. Sh*t for Brains has struck again. Hope someone can straighten him out and tell him that waging war on antifa is basically telling the world that he is PRO-Fascism.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Dr. Timothy Snyder is recognized both as a leading historian of his generation and as a public intellectual shaping global conversations on history, totalitarianism, and democracy.

He's absolutely correct in his assessment of the Trump admin.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."
