An old, but apt fable:
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't help myself. It's my character." @Wikipedia
There’s a quiet all out war for the future of our country. Let us not misdirect our precious resources.
I do not believe I lost due to fraudulent votes, mail-in ballots, hacking, or mistabulated results. I respect those who want to make sure, but I won’t be requesting a recount.
He is PHYSICALLY BREAKING AMERICA and we HAVE TO win the midterms to stop him from doing it. And then to make people's lives good enough that THEY never let anyone else do it again.
Anyone else have the whiplash problem where you take a break from social media to avoid the new news for a day because there's too much bad news to even keep track of but then when you come back it hits you like an actual truck??? 🥲
I have not checked what it says yet, and I am still extremely displeased by how he handled this, but like GUYS.
AS IT TURNS OUT, pressure from the People CAN, in fact, WORK.
If we elect a government that wants to be held accountable by the people, shit like this will never happen again.
In that spirit, GET OUT AND VOTE TODAY if you live in:
1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. Idaho
4. Kentucky
5. Oregon, or
6. Pennsylvania.
Reporter: The DOJ has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers?
Trump: Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction.
One literally cannot be a "Medicare millionaire" unless one is a doctor, or perhaps a drug company.
"Medicare millionaires" the way this guy talks about em? Yeah, they DO NOT exist, and CANNOT exist, if you have any idea what Medicare is.
I understand the instinct to go full doomer today, but THIS reaction is the correct one.
The mission is WIN.
With an assist from a bad president, making the right decisions where we can will win us the midterms. Choose candidates who will EARN constituents' votes.
Do you know how Dem’s win the house and senate despite R’s gerrymandered structural advantage?
1. Nominate Dem Senate candidates who can actually win their general elections in MI and IA.
2. Get D’s to +10 on the generic ballot by
3. Getting Trump to below 30% approval.
At least 32,000 gallons of jet fuel has leaked from a military base into Maryland watersheds.
The Defense Department refused to disclose the spill for at least 3 months.
We cannot sit back and watch while this administration tramples on the constitutional rights of BOTH the American People AND the American States.
The time to fight back is now.

The FBI has raided the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L Louise Lucas.

If this person had just said "200k woke west coasters," you could prolly do it without LOSING any electoral votes, too...
Not saying that's the move, but at least it's innovative thinking!
It appears that reading comprehension on the internet does not exist.
The main point of the post below: "It is great that even establishment Dems are finally supportive of putting A VERY REGULAR PERSON in the Senate."
The main point was NOT:
- Platner is good.
- Platner is the best oyster farmer in the United States.
- It is great that Dems support THIS PARTICULAR OYSTER FARMER.
- We will endorse Platner. (which depends only on his T.E.A. score)
Everybody should read more books.
We haven't scored him yet but want to note:
Impressive that now ALL of the Dems can, in fact, rally around the message: "let's send an oyster farmer to the U.S. Senate."
Our government's meant to be BY AND FOR We the People of these United States. Way to act like it, finally.
