If I only have time to read one thing a day, it’s this! I always need a reason to smile (but never a reason to swear - that comes naturally) and you give me that reason 😊Thank you.

Kudos for calling out the libertarians for the lying fascist scum that they are. I had the misfortune of having to go through that ringer 10 years ago with a close family friend's teenage incel son - he wasn't very smart, so sites like reason-dot-com made a lot of sense to him. In our discussions, it was quickly apparent that libertarianism was: 1) racist AF; 2) fascist AF (despite the constant droning on about "individual freedom"; 3) perfect for lying psychopath incels who think they know everything. We're no longer close family friends, and actively avoid that family now.

Rand Paul does not disappoint with his hypocrisy.

Heather Cox Richardson pointed out that trumpstein's "gold" is a match to polyurethane gold accents that you can buy at home depot.

Lol, Ayn Rand has already revealed herself to be a flip-flopping piece of shit; she had no problem getting Social Security payments when she was old.

Respect is earned, Not bought like gold foil in a ballroom. 6 bankruptcies is telling a picture of mistakes.

If there were every a time for the Democrats to man up and develop a huge pair of balls, it's now. Government shutting down? As a COHESIVE GROUP, look at the Republicans and say "it's their problem, not our problem." Now, the key here is "balls" and "cohesive group" - as in, for once in your political lives, STICK TOGETHER. Don't go off willy-nilly. Don't wing a "we can work things out" - just state "it's their problem, not our problem."

A man who is never wrong is a man that never learns from the mistakes of life. Thereby lies follow him to his day of reckoning.

I thought it was impossible to despise trump and his spineless enablers more. I was wrong.

You know the meeting with the military leaders on Tuesday is likely not going to be the “attaboy” that Hegseth told us it was going to be on TV. It will probably include threats & intimidation & loyalty pledges. They want to make it clear that the military is to carry out all orders - even illegal ones that violate the military code & procedures. Just in case anyone was entertaining thoughts of mutiny or defiance they want to nip it in the bud. So much for the military oath, which has probably been rewritten or deleted.

What is a med bed? ICE are criminals, dressed up in military garb, and are evil piles of trash. Someone shut up that crap in the white house.

More of this from everyone! 😂 Also the note about TURN OFF THE FUCKING TV!!! is such a prime example of how totally ignorant the orange blob is. It's going to take a lot of cussin' to get through the next 3 1/2 years! Thanks guys!! 💕
