A real president does this. Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

still trying to comprehend how anyone in the MSM would lend this administration the least bit of latitude with the fact that they are fighting in court, their obligation to spend money on poor people that has already been allocated. there are two sides here, to be sure. Cruelty is their go to...

to sum up... Democrats: We would like to continue to keep health care affordable and to provide food to people, but Republicans are keeping the government shut down to avoid releasing the Epstein files. Republicans: The cruelty is the entire point.

Let's talk about immigration reform... lets face it, our current system sucks ass, its woefully unfair and uncaring. I understand that people just don't want to simply let everyone in and to a degree, I'm on board with that... to a degree.

Did the New York Times ruin media journalism? a) of course not you odious plebe b) the FTFNYT believes that there are 2 sides to this issue & both of them state that you're wrong c) yes, but we believe that there is a thin patina of truthiness to our misinformation d) lets ask David Brooks!

An excellent explanation of the Silla Crown gift... youtube.com/shorts/jD0zw...

This observation doesn't really help everyone but I feel like it has to be said. Watching the GOP and Trump attempting to run the Gov is the film equivalent of "Manos, Hands of Fate". Dumb people, doing dumb things, evil people doing dumb things. More stupidity, more horror, all unneeded. #MST3K

once upon a time, when the Dems were in charge the media actually reported on the nuts and bolts of the ACA. The docs hated it and tried to sabotage it (like they did when the Clintons tried something). The media interviewed doctors, insurance company staff and MOC

👏🏼👏🏼💙💙

Don’t take it from me, listen to Snopes! Speaker Johnson signed a bill to cut $186 billion from SNAP. And again, it’s HIS party that won’t help millions of Americans put food on the table this month.

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

I hope that I live long enough to see accountability for the actions of so many that tore down our Nation and its institutions. Our institutions may not have been perfect, but we kept working on them to try and make them better and now due to racism and cowardice, they are greviously damaged.

I would love it if on one of these rare pivots to a DEM politician by the media when asked about the shutdown, the pol would state that IF Dems controlled the House it would be in session, working on a bipartisan budget and troops would be getting paid and SNAP and healthcare would be funded Period

so.... boots on the ground in Virginia, the latest polls show the Dems leading for the Gov, Lt Gov offices and the AG being a coin flip. What's happening in the media war and in the discussion threads locally and in barber shops and family discussions, I will try and provide my take.

in regards to the Epstein Ballroom, once we kick the fascists out of power, we're going to have to raze that fucker to the ground because before they even fucking furnish it, the Saudis, Israelis, Russians and Chinese will have compromised it with Intel gathering shit beyond a fare the well.

so now, the Trump minions are threatening "lethal force" if local law enforcement attempts to arrest them while doing their crimes and I fully expect them to start shooting each other soon because these people are so fucking scared to begin with, just like regular cops are.

so lets review the public defacing of the people's house shall we? DJT says that he's going to put a ballroom off of the East Wing.... what he doesn't say is in doing so, he'll tear down the east wing... what about the stuff that was there? Where did that go? The portraits, furniture?

Liberal purity tests are out of control. You can't even have Nazi tattoos now.

wellllll, guess what will be showing up soon in mailboxes all across America, while GOP Congressionals are home since they are not hanging out in DC avoiding their budgetary responsibilities and making sure NOT to seat Ms. Girjalva balloon-juice.com/2025/10/21/p...

#MST3K thinking about all of the monster films that the crew had to endure and decided to take a hand at ranking the lamest special effects seen on the screen (US Edition) 1) The Creeping Terror 2) Robot Monster 3) The Eye Creature 4) The Killer Shrews 5) Teenagers from Outer Space 6) Hobgoblins

so.... the GOP hasn't even submitted a budget, it's just a CR, that they amended with a bunch of shit that results as a force multiplier for your health insurance premiums because it does NOT extend the ACA subsidies that kept those costs reasonable, but hey Trump has started ballroom construction

Good. Never, ever cut a deal with fascists.

yeah.... I feel safer already, don't you? balloon-juice.com/2025/10/19/t...

just a friendly reminder, this guy was shut down by New York State for running a fraudulent charity, stealing from kids. Think about this, how much of an egregious asshole do you have to be to have your charity shut the fuck down and a NATIONAL political party, still ran him as a Pres candidate.

He’s getting more unpredictable and dangerous by the minute. He hates not being adored!

just so we don't forget and we continue to keep receipts.... what happened to all those kids separated from their families in DJT I and where the fuck are all those people disappeared so far in DJT II? If this current administration cannot answer this, then it's time for them to answer @ The Hague

in the aftermath of all that went on, apparently there were not enough actual hippies or people of color for the local Alabama Law Enforcement to harass, so they had to be personally offended by a 53 year old woman wearing a penis inflatable costume.
