Robin Williams on Trump in 2012: And he owns all these beauty pageants.
Miss America, Miss Universe. Isn't that a bit like Michael Vick owning a series of pet stores? It's a f-cking catch and release program for him.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

I don't usually talk politics, but I am just going to put out there that Impeachment Convictions need 67 votes in the US Senate to go through (Unless I'm misremembering). Can we please energize the youth and get them to use the 6-7 funny hands meme as a rallying cry to go vote and flip seats?

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”
“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

A fun quick imaginative landscape painting in the evening. Some classic scenery I always think about, a dark mood with nice trees and stormy clouds. Used some old brushes I created but rarely use.
