The scum just keeps getting scummier.

This is where America is headed

Just look at the Russian money flowing into elections.
Look at the unmitigated bot farms
Look at the indictments
Read the Mueller Report.

If you choose not to vote because a mainstream politician didn't give you 100% of your wish list?

It won't matter if you have a pride flag or trans flag or hashtag on your profile...

You're complicit.

Updating an old joke:

You can make friends anywhere in the world with the phrase, "Wasn't it horrible what Henry Kissinger did here?"

@cynthiarose @Jackiemauro @talia_christine I'd like to go back to an alternate universe where President Carter won a 2nd term, we'd have avoided the whole Christian Right

Cleopatra VII died in 30 BCE & the Great Pyramid of Giza was completed ~2560 BCE.

As a leftist, I am not a fan of anti-inflationary policies but I have to admit that the U.S. is still doing better than most other countries. I know that the working class bears the brunt of this. All this could have been avoided if the pandemic was contained 🤷🏽‍♂️.
