Secretary of chest-pounding, pseudo masculinity, Petie Kegsbreath, is a cowardly, useless piece of shit war criminal. He's an unrepentant, murderous weakling who wants to look fearsome and (in his words) lethal, and is happy to ignore the Constitution and the UCMJ in pursuit of being relevant.

Two months ago I wrote about why my law firm is litigating 63 voting and election cases. Today it is 65 cases covering more than half the country. Eleven of them involve redistricting.

Holy shit! It's been nearly 29 years since I received my first recruitment offer from AARP. I think that makes me a senior citizen.
Yikes!

I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

His hat reads "America is Back" when it should more accurately read "White Supremacy is Back".
This tired, deeply-damaged man is so needy. He has to have references to him being president on his hat, on his shirt, and on a golf-framed placard next to his overcooked cheeseburger he's almost too-out-of-it to eat.

Yet we continue to claim capitalism is a far superior economic system. I must ask, for whom? Certainly not for average Americans. The top 5-10% are doing pretty well, tho. Is that how we measure success?
I'm going to go out on a limb here, & suggest even progressive dems still believe in capitalism

China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not – by choice
Despite the US’s economic success, income inequality remains breathtaking. But this is no glitch – it’s the system

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

The haters lost the culture war before it began. That's why they're so pissed.
Had Thanksgiving dinner in a halal Brazilian steakhouse in Florida.
God bless Amreeka.
No matter how hard the haters try they'll never get rid of us.
Also we make their bland ass lives delicious.

It's easy to say that stuff happening now is JUST a DISTRACTION. Cause it seems that way.
I personally feel that everything would have happened regardless of the files, but at a slower pace.
Calling these things distractions reduces their importance.
Impeachable offences are what they are.

Good question. Wouldn't it be great if all these people who thought they could just sit it out actually showed up next year and helped make a difference?
Will someone please ask the 89 million Americans who didn't vote in the last election if they are being affected by anything this administration is doing to the other Americans?

Have you ever been required to wear a suit tie for work? Did you know how to dress for success, and could you tie a knot with a dimple?
