Any 3 of these guarantees my vote.

The 1st two pay for the 2nd three.

#MarginalTaxRate
#EndEndlessWars
#StudentLoanCancellation
#MedicareForAll
#GreenNewDeal

Red or Blue--these policies earn my vote.
Since Barry, progressive voters like me have railed against the money-in-their-ears, right winger Ds.

To. No. Avail. The Ds can't beat an addled fascist.

Try this:
#MedicareForAll
#MarginalTaxRate
#EndEndlessWars
#StudentLoanCancellation

I was a child, home from school, coloring on the floor in front of the TV when the show went off. I called out to my Mom.

She rushed into the living room and I saw a light in her eyes go out.

It took another Naval Officer, Mr. Carter to spark light in my own.

How far and fast we fell since.
A real President ……….

Sixty-two years ago today, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was shot while riding in an open-top car and died later at Parkland Hospital. The event, which occurred at 12:30 p.m. CST, was a moment of national tragedy.

Here's something to make you lose sleep. What if the Epstein files are a distraction from criminality far worse than that contained, documented, reported in those files?

Using this pedophilia ring to distract us...

We don't even want to ask,
"What could be worse?"

When I bought this little book almost 30 years ago, it was in this condition. I wasn't able to undo any damage, but I've managed to keep it as good as I can.

I've been impressed by Bruce Springsteen, he never quite climbed into my Top 5--voice, guitar, lyric mastery notwithstanding.

But! The current biopic "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" is very fine. It took me about 10 minutes to accept Jeffrey Alen White *as* The Boss, but after that, WOW!

"The greatest good for the greatest number." Looks pretty.

To reach this overlap much good and many numbers will not make the cut. This time. We have to shore up our federal workforce. State and local, too.

Now, we'll watch as Mike the Johnson covers 4 his masters.

Can we please appreciate the capacity of the Epstein victims? What we know already offends to our core the debauchery, the evil of these children's abusers and rxpists.

Crushed by what we know now, the bulk of the iceberg still unseen--we could end the global oligarchy in our time.

What the actual eff is up with AG Sauer's and RFK2's voices?

What inhalation event, interior cpu corrupt disc failure, Borg-human disguise imaging malfunction is going on with these freaks?

Are their SSNs strings of pi? Are they stored in home planet environments to keep from falling into mud?

"I could loudly exclaim we felt the same
But not in all honesty
Now you'll never know
How could you know the friend that you had in me?
I've got so much to learn now
Lessons I never had.
When you lose a friend forever
Hurts so bad
Ooh it hurt me so bad."

For what?

I voted for Obama twice. Good. Now he richsplains to us.
Told him:

"Between millionaire Rs and millionaire Ds there isn't a choice to be made. But thanks for rich-splaining to workers how bad off we are.

#MedicareForAll > than ACA, but no millions to be made off poor and middle-class people."

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
