The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

No one should have cast one vote for the party that sent Argentina 40 billion dollars when most of their voters will be hungry due to SNAP not being paid.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Trump has a problem with cause and effect. You don’t torture people, starve them or pretend to drop shit on them and expect them to like what or who you are representing. You don’t lie to them and treat them like shit. Trump surrounds himself with some truly fucked up people. That ain’t me babe.

It's disturbing & sad when comedians, talk show hosts, TV show creators, etc., are doing a better job speaking out compared to "NEWS" stations, which are censoring to protect Fascism

Thank you

Between Rosie, Colbert & South Park; comedians are doing the job our mainstream media forgot how to do years ago.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
