What the actual goddamn fuck. Mr So Called President I was a religion major but then I was a business professor for over 30 years. You think we don’t need social workers and teaching aids and music? ??? You are a criminal.

This is not deporting people. Literally. Legally. There is a deportation process and this isn't it. This is rendition. This is disappearing people.

Fox 2 is hosting the first Senate debate for this year's general election in Michigan and Mike Rogers simply did not show up. Not only is this cowardly, it's disrespectful to the citizens of Detroit and Michiganders as a whole.

Honestly if you don’t show up for a debate, Mike Rogers, it hardly seems as though you want the job. Not showing up gives 100% of the airtime to @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, which—we can see you are skeered—letting him speak without contradiction just seems like giving Usain Bolt a headstart.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.
