Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

Lurdan [LUR-duhn] (n.) - An idle or incompetent person. A lazy and dull individual. Used in a sentence: “The lugubrious lurdan lolled listlessly in the lamplit lounge, labor-shy, leaden-witted, and laughably lacking the least lick of laudable likability.”

He's being manipulated by Miller. It's so obvious. That is why "they" keep protecting Trump. Without Trump and his dementia, the people who are REALLY in charge will lose their power.

I love this article. It describes Drumpf well "Behold the festering carcass...."

His interview with Anderson Cooper on his "All That There Is" podcast, is literally life saving. It saved mine after a major trajedy. Worthy listening... open.spotify.com/episode/19oJ...

I live in 🇨🇦 and have been following The Trump Shit Show attentively since 2016. I've also aged in these last few months. Some may ask why care, you're not an American. The answer has always been a simple one...it's called values, compassion and integrity.

This is bleak reading

Strip away the party labels. If someone in leadership said: - Let's give tax breaks to the ultra-rich. - Let's privatize and scale back Social Security and Medicare to make a profit for big business. They are "making the rich richer again." #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #MomSky
