You fucks are about 35 percent of the total population. Removing some minority of sentient (but wrong) Republicans voting the party line and you dead-weight assholes are maybe 25 % of our citizenry. It's a lot of racist, authoritarian human refuse. But don't overstate the stat.

The White House is trying to defend President Biden offending over half the American people. The President campaigned on uniting the country, not dividing it.

*bitter* fucking bitter you well of a whore that is Twitter autocorrect. Do you think that the adjective better would be allowed within a nautical mile of any tweet I offer about Donald Trump. Twitter, your AI is more than A than I. Fix this shit.

Just listened to that astounding pout of ragefesting by Donald Trump. This is the most divisive, better, broken human to ever have the responsibility of leading a nation. That we elected this foaming sociopath to lead us is a stain on American democracy that can never be removed.

“The lack of attention on Pakistan is heartbreaking: Too few major international cultural figures are speaking up for us in this moment of crisis. It is either a snide form of racism or else an utter failure of compassion.”

The Global North can help Pakistan by taking responsibility for the losses and damages of extreme weather fueled in part by the burning of fossil fuels.

New CNN boss Chris Licht reportedly “is starting his tenure by casting out voices that had often been critical of former president Trump and his allies, in an effort to present a new, more ideologically neutral CNN” washingtonpost.com/media/2022/09/

In other words, you had to disagree with or oppose the president on one of his ideas or policies and say so aloud. You had to have a different opinion. Dissent, in other words, led to a grown-ass man making up childish, sneering names and launching personal and targeting careers.

Kayleigh on Trump: “If you go back and look at his attacks, almost all of them - 99.9%, maybe 100%, were against a person who has attacked him first .. We did not set out on a campaign to attack half the country.”

A librarian at an ID public library has resigned, their insurance company has canceled them as too high risk, and board meetings moved next to the sheriff’s office after people continued to show up with guns and bibles threatening them to ban books. But don’t call us fascists!

Groundbreaking book. Fine journalism that broke real ground in how we need to look at unrestrained capitalism.

People have so many questions about these 48 empty folders of classified documents. I'll just bring this up in case no one else has thought of this: maybe you could, you know, detain the owner of the property where the contraband was found, and ask him about the missing docs.
