    Sorry if I'm stepping on anyone's toes but considering the white supremacist terrorist who hunted and killed 8 people bought the gun THAT DAY with no background check or waiting period, perhaps if it's not too much trouble we could make that illegal? Just a thought! Sorry again!

    Is Trump going to present his healthcare plan first? He promised an amazing healthcare plan “in two weeks” about a dozen times while he was in office.

    Biden, 78 and recovering from a broken foot, tripped while practically RUNNING up a flight of stairs immediately after overseeing 100 million Covid vaccines. Trump, 74, couldn’t walk DOWN a RAMP unassisted immediately after overseeing 150,000 Covid deaths.

    Florida golf club owned by former reality show host, tax cheat, charity thief, and self-described sex predator shut down by fake news hoax. Just another example of cancel culture at its worst.

    Twice impeached. Lost the House. Lost the Senate. Mismanaged pandemic that killed half a million Americans. Capitol breached and attempted insurrection on his watch. Altered meteorological map with a Sharpie rather than admitting he was wrong. So much winning.

    Since July 1, South Dakota has the highest rate of death per capita due to COVID-19. Kristi Noel ignored science, kept her state open, and killed people in the process. This is not a success story.

    📝A blank piece of paper and a pen. 🖊️Start writing whatever comes to mind. 💭If your mind feels blank, start writing a list of familiar -items i.e. list colours, numbers or names- to get into a flow state. This last one learnt in 's "Storyworthy"

    Did you guys see Biden's tweet gloating about the Dow being at 32,000...? Oh, that's right. He didn't tweet because he has a fucking day-job and he's not a pathetically needy man-child.
