For the love of America, we must protest this.

Venezuela is 3,000 miles away and this boat had a range of 250 these were likely fisherman or a family killed to appease our Pedophile dictator who is mad that a Venezuelan got a prize he is way too stupid and evil to ever be qualified for. Pedophiles are always pathetic.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."
