This is the exact same kind of bullshit tepid Dem comms that will lose us more elections. Get a spine. We need to be far more aggressive and more specific. “It’s the same thing it always is” simply not true. Did you hear of #nokings?

I pay for Apple One top tier subscription but I get Apple subscription services from both my telecom and credit card. So what am I paying for this $hit three times? #subscriptionhell

Wait artillery shells damage things? As someone else posted, our nation is being run by morons.

“We are normal, well-adjusted, and sane” says member of the party that invented the “diarrhea plane.”

Tomi Lahren tweet

The Libs are very proud of their protest crowd sizes. They say it was 7 million.
President Trump won:
*the electoral college
*the popular vote
*every swing state
You are VASTLY outnumbered, we just don't spend our Saturdays with homemade signs and rage.
We don't need to. We are normal, well-adjusted, and sane.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23

They constantly let America down

I grew up in Maine then lived most of my life in Chicago. How did you decide to go from Chicago to Maine?

(I’m outside Boston now.)

The richest 1% now own a third of all U.S. wealth. For everyone else, debt, automation, and high costs have made progress feel impossible. “The Prosperity Illusion” asks: who still gets ahead—and why?
