@TumH2OCoug Not sure why you care about Biden, but the problem w following ppl like badkarma is that she’s biased. She’s taken facts and twisted them to suit her msg. Same w Byrd. Yes, he admitted to being kkk in his youth, but also repudiated them for decades.

[Newgie @Newgie1]

Pretty accurate.

Saturday Night Live warned us all on March 5, 2016.

Now the joke is on us America. 👇

@Super70sSports It may have had something to do with the stache.

@TumH2OCoug Platner was accused of rape and abuse of women. Who would elect him? Oh, wait…

There’s only one politician more slimy and corrupt than Johnson.

[Rep. Joe Courtney @RepJoeCourtney]

Mike Johnson calls Social Security an “entitlement” and says he has a plan for it to be “adjusted and fixed.”

Social Security is an earned benefit – not an entitlement – and as we’ve warned repeatedly, it’s about to hit a cliff, now in 2032. In Connecticut, that would mean an average loss of $556/month in benefits. 

The way to prevent this is by making the rich pay their fair share in payroll tax – the same as middle and working-class Americans.

Funny, but true.

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

It’s sad, but he’s right.

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
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."

Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out

I actually don’t mind an arch that commemorates our military. But if it has his orange ass all over it then it’s a hard pass for me.

[💙🌊 Zero Dark Twenty-Nine 🌊🌊🖋️🧫 @herotimeszero]

Arch - $100 million.
Ballroom - $1 billion.
Illegal tariffs - $264 billion.
Trump's war - $2 billion per day.
Kidnapping Maduro - $4.7 billion.
Renaming airport to DJT - $5.5 million.
JFK center renaming & overhaul - $256 million.

Helping Americans - big fat orange zero.

I’ve never done the math, but I’d be interested in actually proving if this scenario is correct. I’d bet money that it is.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

You can’t really argue this. They believe in investing in the people and infrastructure.

[Documenting Saylor @saylordocs]

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?

Dahl: Yes

Murray: And the rate for someone making $1,000,000?
Dahl: 2.2%

Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184,000, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.

@rj53TXn @marceelias False equivalence

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion.

His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history.

@Breaking911 Gas is four fucking dollars a gallon. Is he going to legalize selling organs so we have something to put in an account we can’t access until we’re 65?

If you can take the D vs R out of your thinking, you’ll see that this ad is spot on! Corporatism is killing us. Literally.

I’ve written a few campaign ads in my day.

But holy shit.

This ad from @ossoff might be one of the best I’ve ever seen.
