@IslandGirlPRV @Odette_Bunnies @LeahMillis @ryanjreilly "Patriotism" is the last desperate cry of those who think loyalty to a person they like is more important than freedom and justice for all.
For the rest of us, being a "patriot" is demonstrated by actions defending democracy and its citizens, not by blather and posturing

Thanks @kylekinane for an amazing @GoodnightsCC Raleigh show Sunday. One of the funniest sets I've seen in 30 years.
Hope there's some video clips from the opening since it seemed like that wasn't part of the normal set and I had tears streaming down my cheeks thirty seconds in

@sabu2_u @mmpadellan Sure. Math is not math, there are alternative facts, and the sun will rise in the west tomorrow to bring darkness

@sabu2_u @mmpadellan 1941 - 9.9% inflation
1946 - 18.1% inflation
1974 - 11.05% inflation
1975 - 9.14% inflation
1979 - 11.25% inflation
1980 - 13.55% inflation
1981 - 10.33% inflation
Current inflation - 9.1%
So how is the lowest number the worst?

What the Senate did is PROFANE. Jon just said fuck.

@Mike___Weaver @RepSwalwell The even colder one is they were too busy purposely ignoring everything the Clinton administration tried to warn them about.
And the enormous financial ties between the Bush and Saudi royal families

Tragic…I wish @SenToomey cared…

Dr. Oz, is that a new jersey?

@ToriatheistTori I certainly don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry which could be stolen from me during a live-streamed sermon...

@sabu2_u @mmpadellan Congratulations, you can post a meme.
Can you provide any facts to back your meme up?
*Hint* Trump's presidency wasn't the "best economy" America ever had (compare to post-WWII boom)
*Hint Number 2* This year is far from "worst economy" (2020 & Great Depression were both worse)

@jclbuxfan @mmpadellan You do realize both candidates are Black, right?
I'm only belittling the one who beats his wife, abandoned his kids, and can't form a coherent sentence yet is attempting to be in the Senate, which is supposed to be a deliberative legislative body

Poor Fizzgig, that tail is always right there on his #puppy butt, teasing him constantly!

[Marc Bartkowiak @garexvc]

@ODeaForColorado Are you paying attention?
It's a 15% minimum CORPORATE tax for those who pay nothing (or worse get refunds) & closes a carried-interest loophole only the rich get
A separate bill GIVES money to U.S. companies competing with Chinese microchip manufacturers to create jobs
Wake up!

[Marc Bartkowiak @garexvc]

@Tucsonbelle No offense, but beginning with "To all voters" is just as true a statement
P.S. Your profile pic is adorable!

[Marc Bartkowiak @garexvc]

@SBethancourt02 Or high enough to imagine an alternate universe...

[Marc Bartkowiak @garexvc]

@girldrawsghosts Or if you want to find out whether their bathroom sink has enough water pressure to cover up the sounds you are about to make...
*Disclaimer* - do not attempt in a studio apartment

@DianeBernaerts Probably not. He's used to suing those who don't have enough money to outlast him and will thus cave to his demands to drop his lawsuit. CNN is not in that category, so he'll unfortunately tuck tail and run before discovery happens.
Though one can always hope...
