This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

I really wish people would stop worshipping politicians. Especially since too many people take it to a degree where any disagreement prompts rage. I know you love Senator Awesomesauce and Congresscritter Amazeballs - telling me I'm stupid for not being impressed won't get me to vote for them.

"The vote would be a big test to gauge whether enough Democrats would vote with Republicans [...] even though they wouldn't get an extension of Obamacare subsidies that expire at the end of the year." Team red trying to get a survey of how many chumps are on team blue.

So...the rumor mill is saying that Senate Democrats are about to snatch defeat from the jaws of Tuesday's victory and reopen the government on a "promise" from team red that ACA subsidies will be voted on later. Do I have that correct? Bluntly: that's fucking stupid, if true.

You know, I think I like the Democratic Party of team red's fever dreams more than I like the actual Democratic Party.

This traitor was not only a Confederate general who fought for the destruction of the U.S., he may have been involved in the development of the murderous KKK after the Civil War which terrorized Blacks seeking elective office & voting. What a disgrace to put his statue up again.

I have no interest in posts from the petty scolds of society telling me what I am or am not allowed to put on my holiday playlists. If my song selections offend you so greatly, my humble suggestion is that you JUST DON'T FUCKING LISTEN!

Stop talking about how we need better leadership. Start talking about how we need better REPRESENTATION.

He got the tattoo while drunk and only covered it up once scrutiny became too intense. Taking eighteen years to correct a "mistake" only because it imperils one's political ambitions tells me this guy's judgement is too poor to ever be trusted with my vote. Lucky for him I'm not in Maine, I guess.

No, Bernie, sending squads of goosestepping fascists to conduct mass raids and terrify entire communities is not "better." This is a godawful take and you should feel bad.

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.

The MAGAts have been given their talking point that demolition of the East Wing of the White House is "no big deal because taxes aren't paying for it." Okay...so, if I'm living in a rental, I guess it's no big deal if I knock down a wall or two so long as I use my own money?
