The gunman who orphaned Bambi has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

Few know that 'Dick' Cheney was actually short for Dickolas

what do these people even think 'runs the city as a communist' means. the successful civic program of the Italian Communist Party in Bologna in the 1970s I assume.

What if, and stay with me, the barbaric and imperious way the United States responded to 9/11 is an enormous part of how we got here

Marxism must not forget that ‘members’ of classes are people, and people live toward their future as they understand and imagine it.
