Crazy how the "fiscally responsible" Republicans still can't grasp money going in must be greater than money going out to decrease the deficit. There's no way out of this shit storm without raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations. We also need a progressive capital gains tax, so that when billionaires get their dividends, they're taxed to hell. But what the fuck do I know.

How Trump supporters, a lot them I know hard-line McCarthyists, don't see the takeover of the US by Russia is fucking beyond me. But then again, it was never about Russia, it was always about authoritarianism.

Read the whole and thing and, wow. It's just unbelievable to me that people can support this man so fervently.

I guess it's what happens when you give people permission to be completely selfish and devoid of empathy. He's a fucking psychopath.

The people who need to read the article would, and then complain that it's all lies to denigrate Trump. It's a sick joke that I have family members who, "respect the military and those who serve", but continue to tout Trump as a Messianic figure to save America. The brainwashing/rot is real.

It was never about saving lives, but criminalizing women. This shows it. Going through a miscarriage is hard enough, to now worry about being interrogated and arrested? I hope Harris gets in and can fix this mess.

I mean, technically correct. Just one side has SIGNIFICANTLY MORE casualties

Ah yes, those yesterday Republicans advocating for stronger labor laws, stricter gun control, and securing abortion as a right for Americans. Man, those Republicans were so cool back in the day.

Sometimes, I miss Bushisms in comparison to Trumpisms.

Oh my G-d, I didn't even think of this. This makes so much sense. What an absolute buffoon.

This isn't surprising. Hulk Hogan is a huge racist.

It's a fantastic virtue signal. They can submit a bill, they know won't pass because of how obtuse and vague it is. They are wasting time for performative gestures to rile up their voter base.
