I understand the "those GOP fuckers tried to illegally fire us" county shifts, but all of them? Better work harder to cancel those midterms, fascists.

Abigail Spanberger will be Virginia’s next governor and the first woman to hold the state’s highest office. Her campaign promised to fight the “chaos” of President Donald Trump’s second term and to address cost-of-living issues. https://bit.ly/3JEKGZp

Here’s my dad’s obituary if you’re interested and why he was particularly suited to write about the abuse of intelligence leading up to the second war in Iraq which led to Cheney firing him

William B. Bader, official who helped uncover CIA, Defense abuses, dies at 84

In a long federal career, he investigated claims that led to the escalation of the Vietnam War.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies

As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

JFC I am not happy Trump became president but after reading Hillary Clinton’s take on young people and Israel, I can’t believe she’s this heels down on the subject. I remember how enraged my teachers were when the Clintons announced they were moving to NY. It’s all about power.

Go vote for Seth Koslow and get this genital-inspecting Nazi freak the hell outta here!

Look, I know we're all having fun celebrating the death of a historic monster, but we need to leave space for folks who may not share our feelings. Some folks saw the news and thought "LOL!" while others heard and immediately felt "LMAO!" and it's important to hear both viewpoints.

I don’t think the Republicans plan to open the government for a while.

Trump thinks he is untouchable while Congress is out. He has no incentive to get them back to work.
