Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

The Electoral College was an attempt by the wealthy to protect the country (them) from uninformed, irrational, emotional voting by the masses. I’m willing to trust the people.
I don’t have much hope that Congress will place limits on stock or bond investments. We are talking about considerable wealth in the leaders in Congress. They need someplace to stash it away.
Setting our intentions for the week ahead and we're really quite ready to see members of Congress be banned from trading stocks while in office. It's time they take responsibility and address the conflict of interests trading stocks while in office truly present.

This pandemic has proven that our country is in desperate need of a healthcare system that puts the well-being of everyone over profits, not the other way around. It’s time for Medicare for All.

Same here. I always thought elephants slept standing like horses. I would think it hard for the large adults to get back on their feet. Maybe I am projecting.
You and me both. Could be a lot of 5th Amendment usage but that could be countered by giving them limited immunity by their testimony. Wonderful lead in for the election. Better hurry.
@BillingsDavid I wish my contributions for their well-being could go directly to the elephants and not through some big charity's bank account with all its rake-offs. But elephants don't seem to be interested in money, just staying alive.
We saw Amazon was in real trouble when first they decided take over their own deliveries and second that made a mess of it. Another example of Amazon greed.
I have never found this Biblical point to be very informative, compelling, or profound. Is it just me? Also, I have never heard an argument for racism based on the Bible. That would be stupid, and wrong.
Propaganda pieces come out saying if the J6C doesn’t hold back, Rs will do it back to them if they come into power. That’s a lame, schoolyard threat considering criminal referrals for a coup will be coming. Rs have already shown they will use an event like Benghazi & maximize it.
February is Black History Month. What a wonderful time to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021. It only awaits Senate approval having passed in the House. Let’s do it!

@BillingsDavid Republicans are pushing the "read a banned book program" by sharing all the books they don't want you to read. Who knew you could help authors of books without even reading a book.
This is a weird story. Claim is that Russia is stock piling blood near the Ukrainian border. Implication is Russia is preparing for a bloody invasion of the Ukraine. Shit.
Confirming @Reuters: The US has seen indications that Russia has positioned supplies of blood near Ukraine's borders, according to a senior US defense official. Ukraine denies. WH official says Ukraine is “downplaying” the threat. with @OrenCNN@mchancecnn https://t.co/yHnXYs5f6R
