There was a lot of NATO liberal ♥️ for Cheney in his final days. Everything from his war crimes in Iraq [Biden, HRC both supported] to his later opposition to Trump. While he opposed Trump in the end, his brand of GOP politics paved the way for today's vile version. And yet liberals ♥️ him.

Look, let's not over complicate this whole ABUNDANCE thing. When you live in a society where a few psycho billionaires are hoarding pretty much ALL the wealth, the path to collective ABUNDANCE is not to gut common-sense regulations. The path is REDISTRIBUTION. Duh? 1/3

Today the senate GOP voted to end the CFPD rule banning “unbanning” today. Which means a bank can ban a person based on their political beliefs. While I don’t care about right wingers like Laura Loomer, this doesn’t bode well for people on our side. www.dropsitenews.com/p/senate-rep...
