So, just to review. In roughly seven months the US has had to abandon all bases in the Middle East, flee from a British base, the petrodollar system that is the foundation for hegemony has collapsed, and we’re facing historical energy and food crises. Great work. www.cnn.com/2026/10/04/p...

How do the migrants know to only schedule their caravans for times when Republicans need to frighten their voters into showing up for them? It's like they've got a sixth sense or something.

If Republicans want to own all the horrible shit they've said about Dems and liberals for at least the last 50 years, and apologize for it, and stop doing it, that would be a start. Until then, fuck them and their entire treasonous cult of bigots and imbeciles.

I wonder what it's like to be a Fox News viewer. To be terrified of everybody and everything, but then you tune in every day and you're told that you're not terrified *enough* actually. Here's a new bogeyman, or here's why an old bogeyman is even scarier than we thought. It must be exhausting.

Every day there's five new outrages that Dems are expected to convey to the entire country in addition to doing their day jobs, fundraising, and preparing for the mid-terms. And they have to do it via a media that has been largely purchased by their opponents.
