Jeffries is irritating...but and also him saying he's willing to impeach Trump is progress? he's been less open to it in the past.

Vietor on UFC Event: Does it communicate strength? I don’t know. I think it communicates a guy who’s just focused on all the wrong things. This just feels, I don’t know, kind of like this old-school gladiator shit.

would really like them to just say "yes", but it does sound like we're getting there. ethics reform would be nice, but won't address the actual problem, which isn't ethic but fascism. same with term limits.

Even if you have never advocated for anything in your life we are entering a period in which you have to learn how to. We no longer have a majority of law makers federally or provincially that are working in our* best interests, and that’s on us. Cdns have to take back responsibility for democracy.

It’s just insane to me how any police officer could support Trump. First he’s one of the most blatant criminals to ever exist. If you can’t see that you’re in the wrong field. Second he’s trying to reward people who assaulted police officers on Jan 6th.
