🤣 The McDonald’s Trump “worked” at has been getting so many fake reviews on Yelp, Yelp has stopped new comments from being added. Here are a few:
“Customer service was a joke. Senile old man got bronzer on my fries, didn’t wear gloves.”
“The fries were too salty as if someone who lost a major election had been crying over them for an hour.”
“The person who was at the drivethrough vaguely resembled someone who I saw on the news for being a convicted felon.”

@ThomHartmann Dems should start calling the orange clown Donald Turnip all the time.
@GottaLaff @Atticus1956 For the people whose only interest in wildlife is to blast holes in them, they need to know their lives are at stake too.

Debunking the NRA's 9 favorite gun myths.
I tackle every single major propaganda claim and shut it down with facts. Including:
•Gun laws don't work because criminals don't obey laws
•Guns don't kill people, only people kill people
•Cars kill people, are we banning cars too?
•Women need guns for self defense
•It's a mental health crisis
•What about Chicago?

Once again, another person that's so close to getting it, but they just won't.
@shoq Then again, maybe all the good reporters, who Musk would fire, would go to MSNBC or a new startup, and Musk would wipe the company out competing with Fox to see who can stand on top of a relatively small dung pile.

@Atticus1956 @GottaLaff I think it would help if people stopped framing climate change in terms of “saving the Earth”. The reality is, whatever we do, the Earth will be just fine. It’s the humans who are in trouble. The current climate can support 8 billion humans. If we keep going the way we are it won’t, plain and simple.
@gemelliz The only thing that makes sense is that there’s something in PP’s background that would cause CSIS to deny him security clearance. I wish the media would talk about that.

I was raised in a household where abortion was the biggest possible sin. I was progressive over all, even when I was still pretty religious, but abortion was a wedge issue. What started changing my mind was the realization of who was actually getting late term and partial birth abortions. Seeing beyond the idea of abortion, to the people who actually needed them, was fundamental to my understanding of it.
I think Pete handled this perfectly:
