My wife is from Taiwan, so my kids are half-Chinese. Because of racist assholes like & , their classmates are already blaming them for the virus & asking if they eat bats. My 9 year old son even came home & asked me if it was true. It's heart-breaking.

DNC has already announced that it will not allow any debates in 2024 primary. Biden is not to be challenged. Everyone on the Democratic side must shut up and fall in line. Not having debates is undemocratic and ridiculous. No progressive should agree to this kind of power grab.

So, bombs Syria and kills the minimum wage hike, confirming every fear progressives had. Soon they'll renege on getting $2000 checks to everyone in the middle class by limiting who gets it (to appease their donors). The establishment is back! And it absolutely sucks.

I want to thank Supreme Court for giving us the precedent that the President can unilaterally move funds out of the Defense Department through executive orders without Congressional approval. A progressive president should move hundreds of billions out to fight climate change!

You ever notice that whenever a politician promises to do anything for the poor or middle class, it’s characterized as a giveaway. But when they cut trillions in taxes for the wealthy, that’s not a giveaway. Constant assumption that rich are worthy but rest of us are undeserving.

Cops initially said he "tripped & fell." He's 75. They pushed him to the ground & walked over him as he was bleeding on the ground. 1. If you take cops at their word, you're nuts. They are much more likely to be lying then telling the truth. 2. They're taught to be this barbaric.
