The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

The Big Ugly Bill was their health plan. How many hospitals will Trump & the GOP close? Over 300? 17 million people lose health care coverage in their plan. Premium will skyrockets for millions of others, again their plan.

The museums are being shutdown.
Are we great yet?
Everyone’s being fired.
Are we great yet?
Food is rotting in our fields.
Are we great yet?
The market’s crashing greatly.
Diseases are now running rampant.
At what point aren’t we great?
Our military’s in line at food banks.
So super great.

If snake-oil salesmen are to run what is left of the CDC, why not at least have competent snake-oil salesmen?

Don't vote for Republicans, for any office, until the Trump toxin is washed away from the system.

Rep. Grijalva is duly election, like Johnson. The 7th district of Arizona is entitled to their seat at the table. No taxation without representation, remember? In a "great" country, nobody can delay or deny her admission. We are living by "shithole" country rules.

Domestic threats? Like the Jan 6th insurrection to overturn a free & fair election? And Trump was in charge of that. He has shown he will do anything & illegalities don't matter to him.

Yes. We can make a good guess where all those right-wing groups are getting their money. Petro-dollars?

In recent years, a few
eastern Oregon counties
led by right-wing fanatics
have signed petitions
to join Idaho,
Now that Qatar's military
is moving in to Idaho
& taking root,
we may see a switch, with
Idaho counties signing
petitions to join a free,
American state:
Oregon.

The scoop: Trump refuses to do anything to reduce health insurance premiums; House Republicans refuse to come back to Washington due to Epstein files; and now they send layoff notices to CDC researchers dealing with burgeoning measles cases?

The Trump Administration is responsible for this situation, yet they complain as if some other entity is in charge. Weird.

Judge Karin Immergut's

the Trump administration's
case against
Portland, Oregon
would make an
appropriate epitaph
for this whole
Trump Era:
"Simply untethered
to the facts."
