      40 years of crippled public education and propaganda talk radio

      It isn’t pathetic, it is an engineered strategy that has been ongoing since before any of us were born and it’s working because almost no one bothers to do anything but meme about it

      I have my doubts that we did it twice. 2024 looks fishy. I’m glad it’s finally starting to get talked about

          I think it might get a lot of people who don’t like what’s happening but accept it to cross over into not accepting it.

          I’m not super hopeful that it would matter legislatively or judicially, but I might be the kick in the pants the population needs to go on a general strike, or take other actions.

    I feel like getting trump to write an angry tweet about you is as good an endorsement as Weird Al wanting to parody your song.

      That’s okay, we feel the same way about you. But more to the point, when you’re in a situation where the only choice is whether to laugh or cry, it’s just a question of how you want to cope.

    Calling that disgusting snake Chuck Schumer the Palestinian senator is pretty hilarious, given where he stands on the genocide.

    It’s like there was a creative writing exercise with a prompt to pack as much bullshit as possible into 5 sentences.

    It’s constantly horrifying that our president communicates like this in public. Completely unreal.

      Imagine calling someone out for his looks in a professional setting. In most places that would get you fired or sued.

        So it should. We’re supposed to be more civil than that. But as others have said, this is mask off. Trump unmasking what has been lying under the surface of the capitalistic elite for decades. Utter contempt for the working class who are basically regarded as slaves, and anyone with any influence or power who challenges them is painted as a traitor, criminal, and honorary slave as well.

        Over her proposing to impeach to him? I didn’t but I can imagine. Does he want to “deport” her as well?

      It’s amazing his blood pressure isn’t off the charts considering how angry he is all the time. Then again, maybe it is. One can only hope.
