The party that says we can’t define what a woman is seems to be having a really hard time defining what a child is.

Epstein’s emails are the end of America as they ruined it
If the evil banality of the world's most powerful people exposed in the Epstein emails doesn't cause a revolution, nothing will.

Having a guy like Epstein say these things about you must be like getting an endorsement from the transatlantic slave trade

This is real. Our govt is Tweeting like a 14 year old and calling Americans imbecilic morons. We worry about children being bullied but this is the example set by the U.S. GOVERNMENT. This is so shameful. I’m embarrassed for any of you that think this is okay or make excuses for it.

Hey Pam Bondi. This is John Mitchell. Gird your loins because you actually work for the people and not the president and you will eventually find out what that means.

I know this isn't the point, but did Epstein even understand basic grammar? My dog types more legibly than him and my dog is a dog.

The penny was born in 1793 in Philadelphia. Its parent was Alexander Hamilton, first Sec'y of the Treasury, and author of the Coinage Act.
There are worries about the nickel. Its purchasing power has shrunk, and it costs more than a dime to make.

On Veterans Day, I remember stories from the American cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach. Like the wife/mother whom the same officer visited twice within 45 minutes with telegrams about her husband & her son.
And I remember every damn thing Trump said about those who served.
I hope soldiers/vets do.
