My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

Since World War II, there hasn’t been one calendar year in which the U.S. wasn’t at war or conducted an international military “operation.” It is time we stop thinking it’s a national priority to ensure that the coffers of defense contractors overflow with our tax dollars.

Trump created this practice of theft, corruption, extortion and deceit only because many of the people who have the power to stop it — Congress — have willingly breached their oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Every one of them running for re-election needs to have their asses handed to them.

Just returned from two weeks of vacation (gladly spending my money in the UK) to find gas at my corner station 45 cents a gallon higher. Thanks to my ever-faithful elected officials who made this possible! (Now comes the fun part — counting the days until my luggage leaves Heathrow and finds me.)

The worst part of living through these times is that no one can trust the government in charge of running the country. Is the produce in the supermarket safe? Is the control tower only half staffed? Has my great neighbor of 20 years been arrested (or worse)? What am going to do if I need a doctor?

When Republicans get home from today’s trip to the supermarket, where they emptied the shelves of Kool-Aid, you can be sure they’re running to the mailbox, anticipating a check from the White House.

A Democrat should file a bill on Monday for everyone to get $5,000 checks right now to see if Mike Johnson, John Thune and congressional Republicans will advance and pass it. Call their bluff. Pass the bill.

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky responds to those demanding that survivors simply “name names,” saying the responsibility for accountability should never be placed on those who were abused. “It isn’t our responsibility. It’s always been about the accountability shifting from the abused to the abuser.”

At a propaganda event pretending to honor 9/11 victims, the orange felon lied about being rescued by firefighters and said he was jealous of a 9/11 hero and victims for being more famous than him. It never amazes me how much of an evil piece of shit he is.

Let’s see … the U.S. AG knows of sex crimes and says they are to be ignored. Our immigration force brutalizes and kills people it wasn’t even looking for. The president violates the Constitution hundreds of times (maybe thousands). Tell me again, Mr. Trump, about your devotion to law and order.

For those keeping score at home, the United States is now without an Army Secretary, Army Deputy Secretary, and Senate-confirmed Army Chief of Staff -- all in the midst of an ongoing War with Iran that everyone in D.C. has quietly conceded Trump already lost.

Two months from midterm elections and I’m still waiting for a Republican candidate, any of them, to explain policies they support. Lacking this, I assume they are for protection of pedophiles, Gestapo in the streets, no change in a bad healthcare system, more war. Thanks. Just wanted to be sure.

Frito Lay, owned by PepsiCo, has hired consultants to examine why people are buying less of their snacks. I can help them with this for nothing. It's because a bag of potato chips isn't supposed to cost $6.00!
