Four decades ago, Reagan's counselor Ed Meese claims people go to food banks because "food is free and it's easier than paying for it."
It was never just MAGA - it's the entire Republican Party denigrating the not-rich so they can feel superior.
Untenable, inhumane class warfare - the GOP agenda.

Public sentiment supporting Zelenskyy fight to protect his own country's sovereignty, land, minerals, assets, etc. needs to be loud and relentless.

More bells and whistles to distract from Duffy's clear incompetence at the Department of Transportation. Maybe he should be trying to recruit and train more air traffic controllers, no?
RFK Jr. looking on - staring into his wormy abyss - is vintage.

"Pull-ups" are to distract from the critical air traffic controller shortage, innumerable flight cancellations, GOP overturning Biden's ruling that airlines must refund passengers for cancellations, violence (MAGA-generated) on flights, and Trump'sDuffy's Transportation Dept. many failures.

Not to be off topic, but I'm old enough to remember a long line of rag mag paparrazi 'journalists' in England literally turning their backs on someone (Blair?) in protest of people publicly holding them responsible for Princess Diana's death.
That kind of dramatic protest sorely needed now.

The GOP doesn't care who suffers - parents, kids, seniors, the disabled....
They just want to feel powerful and superior.
It is a form of crimes against humanity, imho.

$12 billion of taxpayer funds to bail out corporate farmers who are tanking because of Trump's tariffs.
And they'll be cheering him for bailing them out.
Enough corporate welfare and bailouts. FFS.

We all have stories and experiences from The Church with people still questioning why we left.
