It might seem odd that James Madison would be an opponent of liberty. But given that Liberty was founded by Jerry Falwell, and that Madison believed in a strict separation of church and state, I guess it makes sense. I’d say thank God Madison won, but I don’t think either side would want me to.

At least you’d know up front that you can’t always get what you want.

This is what Tina Peters is posting. If you want to know why Gov. Polis should not have granted her clemency, here it is. She is an unrepentant criminal who remains a threat to democracy.

The President gives a master class in how to destroy your own credibility.

From today’s NYT: Our mentally ill President is so needy he appeals to children for validation of his grievances.

Wow. Sometimes a book flows so easily and beautifully that the writing itself is a pleasure. This is one such book. Also: Black literature is American literature, and Black history is American history. If you don’t know them, you don’t know the whole story. #BookSky #litfic #literaryfiction
The picture shows the cover of James Baldwin’s novel, “If Beal Street Could Talk.”

Tina Peters was convicted of state crimes in state court. Trump cannot pardon her. At this point, he is semi-lucid at best. Whoever is running our government, it ain’t him.

“Congress gets the greeting card with a drawing of a naked woman that Trump sent to Epstein and that he denies having sent.” Our President makes us look like clowns to the rest of the world. Also, that’s the proper framing of this story.

Woodland, California,10:00 a.m. I never know what to do at these things. I don’t like to chant slogans. I don’t have a clever sign, although I like other people’s signs. But they say half of life is just showing up, so here I am.

Guess who doesn’t have a problem with Zelenskyy not wearing a suit during wartime? The fucking King of England, that’s who.
The picture shows King Charles III of England shaking hands with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and notes that the King has no problem with Zelenskyy not wearing a suit.

Not to get all political on you.
The post is a meme that says, “A blue whale’s anus can stretch over a meter wide, making it the second largest asshole on the planet.” The poster has added the caption, “Not to get all political on you.”

The Constitution specifies that the President must be at least 35 years of age, and yet we have elected an 8-year-old.
