I ❤️ Rosie. Great story about the Great Rosie O’Donnell. About the Orange Con Man and the difference between the two: “You are everything that is wrong with America,” she wrote, “and I’m everything you hate about what’s still right with it.” Fhírinne!

Rosie O’Donnell’s life in exile
Rosie O’Donnell fled to Ireland when Donald Trump returned. Even with an ocean between them, their long feud boils on. But her new country has transformed her.

You can tell a lot about a society by the television its people watch. Unless I counted wrong this past Thanksgiving, with all the commercials, there are at least 14 police & murder & crime shows just on CBS — all featuring gunfire and violence. We have a dark side that is really frightening.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Dissent is Patriotism. Do Not Obey Illegal Orders — this is taught in all professional Armed Forces colleges and academies. We trust our military and CIA officers to uphold their oath.
#RefuseIllegalOrders. Stay vigilant and Don’t Give Up The Ship!
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.
