A lot of us have been saying the people in the Trump administration act like this war is a video game.

If you are planning on traveling anytime soon, go ahead and book those tickets tonight.

I just checked Delta, and the prices were pretty much the same as a month ago. But with oil prices skyrocketing, thanks to Donald's useless war, that is forecasted to change quickly.

Women who carry water for the patriarchy just so they can have a slightly longer leash and stand a few rungs up in oppression from other women, particularly marginalized women, make me a special kind of angry. Being master's favorite dog is still having a master and being a dog.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

92,000 Americans lost their jobs in ONE month while this administration plays golf and picks trade wars. Unemployment hits 4.4% and nobody’s being held accountable.

ENOUGH.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Brian McGinnis' wife has
NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital.
He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries.
Legal counsel has also been denied access.
A Marine veteran.
A firefighter.
A father of four.
And his family still cannot see him.

brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

The principal function of Fox News, Newsmax and similar fringe right outlets is to teach Americans to hate their fellow Americans if their political views, skin color, religion, sexual orientation or ethnicity are different. That's having a strong effect.
