Many thanks to Brian Krassenstein!

“The weirdest thing about leaving America is realizing how much of America is just a sales pitch.

You spend your whole life hearing “greatest country on Earth,” then you go overseas and see clean trains, safer streets, affordable medicine, cities where people can walk without playing Frogger with an SUV, and workers who take vacations without acting like they committed treason.

And then you come home.

You come home to potholes, medical debt, school shooting drills, $17 airport sandwiches, people living in tents under highways, politicians wearing flag pins (or worse, gun pins) while doing absolutely nothing for the people standing in food bank lines, and billionaires being treated like they’re the fragile ones.

And somehow we’re all supposed to stand there, hand over heart, and pretend this is normal.

I don’t hate America. I hate what America has been taught to tolerate.

I hate that we call basic things “radical.” Healthcare? Radical. Paid leave? Radical. Clean air? Radical. Kids not getting shot in math class? Somehow political.

Meanwhile, the loudest “patriots” are usually the same people telling struggling Americans to shut up, stop complaining, and be grateful.

Grateful for what? A flag doesn’t pay rent. A bald eagle doesn’t cover insulin. Fireworks don’t fix bridges. And chanting “USA” doesn’t make a broken system less broken.

America has incredible people. That’s the tragedy. The people are better than the system they’ve been forced to defend.

So no, I’m not going to call America the greatest country on Earth just because it has the best marketing department.

Real patriotism isn’t pretending the country is perfect.

Real patriotism is being angry that it isn’t”

Upon close examination, Trump demonstrates progressive right-sided facial descent coincident with episodes of reduced cortical alertness. This phenomenon is associated with a rare & highly advanced pathology known as ‘child-raping pedophile.’

[Feisty is proud to be a Democrat! @FeistyLibLady]

According to Trump, "There's something wrong with a country that allows people to write negative news stories. I don't have to let them into the People's House."

Taking this one step further.

There is something wrong with a country that allows a liar, grifter, fraudster, pedophile, rapist, cheat, warmonger, and Russian asset into the People's House as President.

It is time for America to clean up our House.

Is it any wonder that The Dial changed lives and perhaps changed America? “I saw there was no self,” wrote Margaret Fuller at the tender age of 21. “It was only because I thought self real that I suffered; that I had only to live in the idea of the all, and all was mine.”

[DeepLeftAndrew @DeepLeftAndy]

I second that.

.@SpeakerJohnson Mike, you just stood on stage and lied to working families for 5 straight minutes.

You said Republicans inherited "record-high inflation."

They did not. Inflation was 3.0% when Trump returned, not the 9.1% peak from June 2022 that Johnson dishonestly pretends Biden handed him on Inauguration Day. It is now 3.4%.

You said Republicans gave us the "lowest violent crime rate in 126 years."

No. He took a historic drop in the murder rate and falsely called it the violent-crime rate. Violent crime had already fallen to 362.9 per 100,000 people in Biden's final year. The decline continued on the same trajectory. None of their policies have helped with that.

You said you delivered the "largest middle-class tax cut in history."

No. By GDP, their tax law is the sixth largest, not the largest. Almost all of it went to the top. And they helped pay for those tax cuts by cutting Medicaid and food assistance, while preserving more than $1 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy that do not expire.

You said "no tax on tips," "no tax on overtime," and "no tax on Social Security."

Also false. Those are temporary, capped deductions through 2028, not the abolition of taxes he is selling you. The bigger tax cuts for the wealthy do not expire. Plus all that small cut wouldn't even cover the cost of gas increase for a month.

This was a bone thrown at working people, and he knows it.

You bragged about prescription-drug prices falling.

Biden's Medicare drug-negotiation law, generic competition, and biosimilars are major factors. And a price-index decline does not necessarily mean your out-of-pocket cost at the pharmacy went down. TrumpRx is basically a coupon site. Some drugs are cheaper through GoodRx.

You said they created more than a million private-sector jobs.

Jobs are still growing, but hiring has slowed dramatically: about 9,700 jobs per month last year, the weakest pace outside a recession since 2002. Biden's final two years averaged 166,000 jobs a month, much higher than now.

You says Democrats will "explode the debt."

That is a lie. The national debt has passed $40 trillion. Trump alone is responsible for roughly one-quarter of all debt added by U.S. presidents, with nothing to show working families except higher prices and broken promises.

Meanwhile, Republicans are handing out tax breaks, cutting healthcare and food help to cover part of the cost.

That is their entire playbook:

LIES
Take credit for stuff they did not create.
Hide who actually pays.
Call temporary deductions "historic relief."
Call cuts to healthcare and food "waste."
Blame immigrants.
Blame Democrats.

Then tell you not to believe your electric bill, grocery bill, rent, pharmacy bill, or empty bank account.

This ain't "common sense." It's a con man behind a podium thinking American people are too dum"b" to call him out.

Everything that’s bad in the world right now is all because of this bloviating, uneducated, uncouth bloated carcass of rancid shit who plasters clown makeup on his face every morning and shits in his diaper. Fuck this cocksucker straight to hell.

Thinking of John McCain today on what would’ve been his 90th birthday. As a Senator, John never stopped fighting for what he believed was right for Arizona, even when it meant standing alone. He dedicated his life to our country, and his legacy of service will never be forgotten.
