You're a class act.

This is what I was raised with.
I know why they had to shut it down.
Because the truth will set us ALL free.

It's predicting what words most commonly come next.
This is literally a mission of mediocrity.
You deserve better.

Markwayne Mullin has a nemesis in the Senate, and hoo wee, it's someone you don't want to dislike you.

Rand Paul. That guy broke his fellow physician neighbor's brain and he got thrown in the clink for assault.

Markwayne Mullin is about one inch from punching Rand Paul.

I'm so here for this!

What a bargain this is turning out to be.

"no one has ever spent more on a war than me"

So...
The US is bombing Iran and is running out of armaments
Ukraine, who is at war with Russia, will give the US drones
But Russia who gets its drones from Iran
Is giving Iran satellite info on US locations
The US has given armaments to Ukraine to fight Russia
But favors Russia in peace talks.

Great update! Your bird is gorgeous!

Thank you from MN.

Well, he's an idiot.
He may be speaking about the incident where a member nearly beat another member to death with a cane in the run up or aftermath of the Civil War.

Shariah Law, baby!

I am delusional. I think you have to be to spend this much time writing.

We have a difficult situation. Many Blue states have one or two big blue metros in a sea of red. Minnesota is like this, after destruction of Dem-farmer-labor coalitions (literally DFL in MN) in the anti-union racist Nixon & Regan years we're now pitted against our rural areas

Exactly. Palantir is building its database.

Can't disagree. We're all very rageful with one another.
While the ICE occupation here in MN has been incredibly awful, it has also given us a sense of solidarity that has been sorely missing in public life for at least the last 10 or more years.

My family is tired of me saying this every single day.

And we also have a very bifurcated news media.
So those people are not listening to that information.
And it's become a reflex at this point- just like racism and sexism. A reaction so ingrained you may not consciously see it.
Dems build, GOP reaps. Rinse, repeat.

The way we tax people is one of the ways we reinforce the idea that you are being stolen from to give people who "don't deserve it" free money, etc.

So when GOP'ers say they'll cut taxes & social net, the people who have been lied to believe the GOP is better for their personal economy.

INSIDER TRADING

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Love this! Congratulations!!!

Everybody's doing it.

WHAT THE FUCK

And stay home. It's unbelievably contagious.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

OKAY, so can he declare victory already then?
No one can afford this.

I recall an extemporaneous answer he gave in a large venue to a complex question; it was an essay. It followed Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link, Summary.
It was breathtaking to watch him do it effortlessly.

Yeah, you don't want to say that name thrice, dude.
You really do not.

The greatest orator of our times
