“The latest polling (4/11/23) from KFF finds a majority (54%) of U.S. adults have either personally or had a family member who has been impacted by a gun-related incident, such as witnessing a shooting, being threatened by gun, or being injured or killed by a gun.”

Please accept my heart felt condolences for your trauma.

Celebrating my 34th year of not going to Easter mass at the Catholic Church that harbored one of the, who knows how many, child molesters that scarred my oldest brother for life.

Sadly remembering my devout mother that continued to tithe that criminal enterprise $20 a week because her blind faith was coerced by fear since birth.

Screw all that resurrection nonsense. Spring has sprung and the world is so beautiful it hurts!

If SCOTUS wants to do something useful for America’s health they should outlaw cheeseburgers. This country is a lumbering blob of cardiac cancer.

I was going to interview for the same job! I missed it because I wanted to pee on everything!

"...They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

― Jean-Paul Sartre

Keep in mind that Elon Musk, the “genius” who doesn’t even know the difference between publicly funded media and state-run media, has received over $5 billion in government funding for his own companies. But apparently he has no idea how that funding even works?

This seems like a good time to mandate civic and financial literacy training for billionaire CEO’s who want to benefit from our tax dollars.

guillotines, though a bit more messy, are much more effective.

Let’s see, what’s going to happen first? An assault weapons ban? Or a supreme court ethics policy?

Oh, never mind.

The original sin of Fox is the simple genius of the “fair and balanced” marketing ploy. By making the claim, anyone questioning it can immediately be dismissed as biased. It’s been the favorite tactic of the right ever since. 

@mlbellar @SpinozasHeresy

If there were only a political spine in this country to do either...

Why expand the Supreme Court? How about getting rid of the people that shouldn’t be there?

Clarence Thomas is our latest outrage du jour. Wouldn't it be nice if we could stop finding new indignities, and start doing something about the ones we already have?

@ryansingel

I would FAR prefer a 1 minute chatGPT summary of the Trump indictment to 72 hours of nauseating cable news dreck pretending to be more than an infomercial for that Lumedeo lady that demonstrates the way she applies her deodorant cream.

@fonecokid

If we close all the McDonald’s, they won’t be able to get their happy meals and they’ll go home. Violence problem solved.

Did he make a doo doo? Did he make a doo doo? I can’t wait to hear what he has for lunch!!
