Dems, if you can't CONFIRM that Mitch McConnell is on life support or dead, then just go home. I am so sick of putting all my hope into a party that brings a tooth brush to a knife fight. If Rs string you along til Aug 3 then you're not convincing ANYONE you'll fight for them.🤢
Since 2020, Walmart spent $37.6 billion in stock buybacks—enough to give all their workers a $23,550 bonus.
Instead, Walmart pays wages so low that many of their workers need Medicaid & SNAP paid for by taxpayers.
The real welfare queen is the Walton family worth $485 billion.
I’ll get on board with Voter ID as long as (A) it’s free of charge, (B) is automatically issued to every citizen at the age of 18 and (C) is easily accessible to ALL people of voting age.

Hunter Biden: "The single greatest mistake of my father's administration was the leadership of Merrick Garland. Did you not see these people storming the Capitol? You didn't see a president and know that there was a concerted and planned effort? He doesn't do anything. We don't end up going after him. I don't get it. I absolutely don't get it."
So.. now that Americans are living in their cars and the billionaire oligarchs are sailing 500 ft yachts.. Blame communism, China, and Putin. But definitely NOT Congress, Wall Street, or their corporate puppet masters.
You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. You reduce crime with universal healthcare, public housing, livable wages, and free college. You reduce violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren’t constantly fighting over basic needs and material resources.
I'm going to predict that when the damage assessment is complete, well into the future, Trump's greatest crime will prove to be espionage - AND - it will be the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history.
We will discover he passed secrets to Russia from day 1 because he was compromised; and did favors for the Saudis shortly after, purely for personal profit; and who knows what the hell else.
His many Useful Idiocies will boggle the mind. And his America First gaslight will be remembered as it should be remembered: "Trump Before America, facilitated by idiots who called themselves patriots."
His treachery - most done purely for power and profit, and some from pathology, revenge, and entitlement, will have massively impacted the globe, permanently shifted wealth, and cost many millions of lives.
I have to add that a good deal of it would not have happened but for our legacy media's consistent and widespread normalization of his disorders.
Imagine if Obama was directly connected to Epstein, made $2 billion off crypto scams, grifted a $400 million plane form Arab Royals, and started and lost a war with Iran.
Just got off the phone with my college roommate.
His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.
He told me he’s not the same person anymore.
Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.
They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.
One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.
And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.
I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.
I really don’t.

They pay the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
Let's end that absurdity, scrap the cap and raise Social Security benefits.
Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."
WHY IS EVERY REPUBLICAN A WEAK PATHETIC COWARD WHO'S AFRAID OF AN 80 YEAR OLD UNCONSCIOUS DEMENTIA PATIENT IN MAKEUP WHO SHITS HIMSELF IN PUBLIC 🙄
