My precious Border Collie will be soon passing. He has been my best friend for 13 years and 5 months. Please send angels and love his way.
He’s comfortable now but fucking cancer has overtaken his lungs. My Veterinarian will be coming to our home to assist in his transition. May he feel the love..

The Conservative War on Everything
The Conservative Republican movement in America is a case study in what fear does when it fully grips a group of people; the emotional net result of being weaned for decades on a steady diet of culture war rhetoric, targeted disinformation, racial stereotypes, incendiary sermons, and plain ol..

Uncle Sugar @Uncle_SugarThey haven't even begun the deep dive into his legislative record, or watched him uncomfortably squirm during debates and he's already toast, I knew his incredibly outsized ego, and his total lack of self awareness would lead him to self destruct, his corruption and a noun, verb & woke ruined him.03:16 AM - Jun 10, 2023![Video]()

While I am not surprised by any of this, the thing that gives me pause is the nuclear secrets documents. Was he planning to sell them to the highest bidder or did he already have a deal with somebody?

I feel like the fact that Ethel & Julius Rosenberg got the chair for far less than what Donald Trump has done should be a bigger story.

UPDATE: Dominion is not settling against Fox News and the Murdochs -- at least not yet -- and the trial is slated to start tomorrow.
But just because trial starts does NOT mean that there'll be no settlement.
Murdoch may cave rather than have to take the stand to testify.

So Milo Yiannopoulos accuses Ali Alexander of propositioning teenage boys and asking them for explicit photos -- and now Alexander has just accused Marjorie Taylor Greene of threatening him into silence about Greene committing a crime?

Ron DeSantis is trying to punish Disney World for opposing his ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law https://tinyurl.com/2p5lt7...
09:13 AM - Mar 02, 2023
DeSantis threatened to put a prison next to Disney World.
One can bet Disney/allies of Disney have PI’s looking into everything DeSantis has ever done. Into every dime he’s ever spent or received.
DeSantis will lose.
I think Disney will cause his downfall, if Trump doesn’t beat them to it. #news

Oh Florida! Using radioactive materials to pave the roads? FWIW, Mosaic is a huge contributor to DeSantis and the Florida GOP, so what do you bet this will be approved?

Every reasonable person and non-supporter of fascism or even “fascism lite” who is looking at the chaos in Florida from the outside can see that DeSantis is a major scumbag, bully, and overall disagreeable pig. To learn of further cause for concern, listen:

Fort Lauderdale, Florida had the most terrible flooding in its history — with over 20 inches of rain in a matter of hours.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has not visited.
He’s out of state, apparently too busy trying and failing to run for president.

BOOM: Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler SLAMS Jim Jordan’s unprecedentedly brazen and unconstitutional attack on Alvin Bragg’s Trump investigation and calls it “an outrageous abuse of power.”
Nadler was the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee before Jim Jordan.
Jim Jordan MUST be held accountable.

Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.

By the way, a tax of up to 5% on the world’s multi-millionaires and billionaires could raise $1.7 trillion/year.
That would be enough to lift 2 billion people out of poverty and fund a global plan to end hunger.
We can't afford NOT to tax the rich.

Sad to put such an important legacy to such an awful use--and in a way that could help Donald Trump return to power. Anyone who aids RFK Jr. is potentially aiding Trump and the forces of right-wing demagoguery and authoritarianism.
