Reposting this every month or so. Worth the whole 20 minutes. We were clearly warned about what happens when we elect people to hurt others. "Those who seek to take another's liberty, deserve to lose everything.

I had a Hispanic friend explain it like this. "Those laws exist to tell people they will never be treated equally."

The people that own Seattle are not the people that live and work here. The owners are terrified. Good.

Why does Seattle still care what Bruce Harrell thinks about anything? He wants power for himself and more money. Nothing else for Seattle. Holy shit I can't believe that I have to say it out loud.

Thank you for this. I am still confused why we still have to care about that man. We voted. Katie won by a lot. It is very obvious he's still around because he represents the people that own Seattle and not those of us that live and work in Seattle. I'm tired of the bad faith arguments and lying.

All of the credit for the destruction of the CDC and the health and safety of the United States goes to the Republican Congress and the MAGA voters who elected them.

If they ever realize what they have done, it will be far too late.

yes amazon this is exactly what I was looking for instead of the Churu treats I regularly order for my cats.

amazon search with "ch" typed. 4 out of 7 suggestions listed are items related to the recently assassinated turning point usa founder.

Just finished this. Thank you for posting. It is odd to feel an equal mix of vindicated and horrified.

Hermann Göring said, "Guns will make us powerful; butter will only make us fat" when the Germans who had voted for Nazis still had expensive food when they promised lower food costs but instead started wars with neighboring countries based on "make believe". I think about that a lot lately.

"starting now, the military will stop being gay and start hiring only beautiful, muscular men with 6 pack abs"

Watching "Harlan County, USA" www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfZb.... good movie about miners striking in Kentucky. Decided to see how they have voted since the movie was released Red is GOP, Blue is DNC. These people voted against Reagan twice, but voted for Trump 88% in 2024. I'll never forgive Fox News.

graph of voting in Harlan County, USA since 1980. It shows a dramatic shift towards GOP starting in 2004. They voted against Reagan twice but voted for Trump in 2024 with almost 88% of the vote.

Ghouls take advantage of the fact that a shockingly large population of Americans do not realize that correlation does not imply causation and are using this to hurt people they planned on always hurting. rural areas gutted by "no child left behind" are in a bad place.
