Who could’ve have foreseen Kim Guilfoyle would go on a grifting and crime spree after Trump named her as Ambassador to Greece to get her out of the country after Junior hooked up with a younger woman?

Stealing money specifically appropriated for Slovakia and North Macedonia FEELS like a favor to Putin. Stealing money specifically appropriated for Iraq -- from which we've withdrawn a SECOND major base in the Middle East -- feels like a favor to Putin's allies in Iran.

We need to have such a turnout that Trump won't be able to rig it. We know he's going to try. We also know that State Governments have been gaming out how to deal with his attempts. If he succeeds in stealing voting machines and rig the election, we should have a general strike. Shut it all down.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Can someone explain to me how the fuck Israeli settlers get off on bulldozing olive trees that have been bearing fruit in the West Bank for generations just to harm Palestians on their own land? What the fuck are we doing to support this kind of immoral shit? We are just enabling this shit

The question is not "Does Israel have the right to exist?" The question is "Does Israel have the right to commit a genocide in order to not only exist but to expand?" The answer to that question is quite obviously no.

Do you know how much the pay of CEOs at major companies has skyrocketed since 1978? 50%? 100%? 500%? Try 1,316% Meanwhile, the typical workers’ compensation increased only 28%. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
