@AZ_Brittney Nope. They will be so busy mopping up the shitshow that it will take them a while to get to it.

@Scarletkoito333 Just existed unfortunately.

@AZ_Brittney Either brainless or mendacious

Imagine denying children free school lunches while expecting them to read about Jesus feeding the hungry with loaves and fish.

By David Abbruzzes:

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Very well stated.

@mjfree Hold up your hand. Fold four fingers and hold up your pinky. Wiggle it. There’s your answer.

@BulwarkOnline If you lose the midterms @MikeJohnson it will be because people have lost faith in your party. But actual crimes will be investigated, unlike what is happening now. Stop using scare tactics. With the shitshow you’ve given us Dems will be too busy to do endless investigations

What Joyce Carol Oates wrote to Elon Musk on Twitter. I am told it rattled him. I love it.
“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”

We need to have a frank conversation about values. This is not red vs blue, rich vs poor, Christian vs Muslim, immigrants vs natural born. This is something more fundamental. We need to open our eyes.

[Chris Fitzgerald @ChrisFitzPrints]

No more small grocers, community hospitals, few family farms, vets offices bought up by corporations, ditto for doctors groups, small retail is suffering and even my local school district operates district operates on a rigid standard model. This is a violation (comment)

[Chris Fitzgerald @ChrisFitzPrints]

Of the very principles our country was founded on: the little guy, the small business, the possibility of individual achievement. The community. The local school reflecting community needs. Success of individuals within a shared set of values. (Comment)
