The vote was 3-2. The 3 commissioners who voted to remove the Board were nepobaby Lester Rivenbark, lipless Disney villain of the Hunchback of Notre Dame variety Kenny Kidd, and vampire who got turned too late in life Darrel Frye.

Oh wait. It's already back. But now the War on Christmas is a War on Capitalist Consumption--the true meaning of Christmas, after all.

Those darn Catholics took the part out about the three wise men getting the frankincense and myrrh from their local Target.

The War on Women is officially over, folks! We won!

It would be nice to see him succeed with only the mutants of Arakko (led in conflictual ways by Genesis and Storm) left to respond. Has Revelation fulfilled both the vision of peaceful (co?)existence and survival of the fittest, simultaneously? Is it their own hubris that drives them to resist?

A "pause," by definition, isn't "permanent," but whatever, idiots run this country and journalism is being killed off by media execs, so who cares anymore.

DHS Deputy Assistant Secretary Micah Bock: "We are not a nation of immigrants."

The KKK: "Ominous statistics proclaim the persistent development of a parasite mass within our domain--our political system is clogged with foreign bodies which stubbornly refuse to be absorbed."

DHS, KKK = twins.

We shouldn't even be talking about "risk pools" when it comes to whether a breast cancer patient can get treatment or a kid can get their asthma pump or an athlete can get a cast or whatever.

In a nation where this is possible, no one should be without free healthcare.

Okay, but, dear liberals, you're missing the forest for the trees: the Affordable Care Act was, in fact, a compromise that hinged on health insurance remaining a capitalist marketplace.

Democrats have repeatedly abandoned a public option. Biden campaigned on it and then did nothing for 4 years.

Phew, the Democrats are funny. Are you really telling us you collaborated in all this pain and gonna get nothing out of it? Losers.

The Democratic Party's basic problem is that they are Republicans (loyal to the wealthy, supportive of authoritarianism, war hawks, pro-police state) who are also social liberals, which means their actions often harm their "big tent" identity politics groups. Democrats are incoherent.

Racist attitudes continue to be the strongest predictor of voting behaviors and political alignment. White women's voting behaviors are more closely aligned with white men's than with any bloc of women voters of other groups. Across the board, racial in-groups are more similar than gender groups.

The United States continues to deal death around the world. Corpses upon corpses. Corpses justified by lies. Murders and executions at home and abroad.

Is the world not sick to death of this cancer?

Two days after I celebrated him taking office in 2025, he cut my position within the federal government.

How depraved do you have to be to have untouchable wealth and still fight to hold onto power until you collapse into your grave?
