Even if you are having a rough day, this should give you a brief moment of joy.

People write to ask how they can help Ukraine. The country's soldiers face renewed attacks from Russia. There is a simple way to make sure that more Ukrainian soldiers survive, and to send a message that we support them: by funding armored evacuation vehicles. snyder.substack.com/p/armored-am...

Slava Ukraini! Glory to the heroes! The vast majority of Americans stand with Ukraine in their fight for existence against the evil dictator and his henchmen.

It’s because MSNBC and CNN sold out to the orange felon. True patriots who believe in liberal democracy won’t tolerate their traitorous acts.

Tell Google what you think about their asinine attempt to appease the orange felon. It is the Gulf of MEXICO!!! Follow the instructions and provide feedback to the Google ass-clowns who made the decision to ignore over 400 years of history.

Good on Mexican President Sheinbaum for forcing the orange felon to stem the tide of US-made assault weapons flowing into Mexico. Perhaps we could hire her on a consulting contract to tackle the flow of assault weapons flowing into US schools. www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/w...

This is very helpful advice. It is troubling, however, that we must rely on our great friends to the north because our government hates Americans and education. Canada for the win.

Honestly, I’m beyond caring for duplicitous stooges like John Bolton. This is the FAFO we all knew was coming. As the old saying goes, if you want to dance with the devil, you have to pay the fiddler. Bolton better be ready to pay the fiddler, I guess.

CNN’s Scott Jennings trashes Jimmy Carter, accuses him of ‘dabbling in antisemitism’

I trust President Biden’s 50 years of experience in foreign policy and diplomacy, as well as his deep understanding of the crisis in Gaza. I believe we are underestimating his resolve and dedication to think he isn’t tirelessly working for a peaceful resolution.

I’d love for this idiot to clearly articulate exactly how Jimmy Carter was a despot and exactly how America is still in ruins four generations later. These ass-clowns speak in MAGA sound bites with no substance or rational understanding of either domestic or foreign policy.

Perhaps the R’s who voted against the orange felon have just learned something, if they are capable of such a thing. There is, in fact, safety in numbers. Bullies want to pick on individuals. It will be more difficult for the felon to bully 170 people.

So if I cannot watch MSNBC because Joe and Mika kissed the ring…Now, I cannot watch ABC. Fox has always been a “hell no.” I’m running out of options. Why am I paying for cable again?

I’m truly conflicted by posts like this. I came here to get away from the toxic lying. Reposting the message here sort of bothers me. I continue to ask myself, though….isn’t it better that I am at least aware of the crazy lies the grifters continue to perpetuate?

I’ve been taking advantage of the many Starter Packs from my favorite follows, but I haven’t seen @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social on anyone’s list. I love her work…and, after all, she suffers through watching Fox News so we don’t have to!
