My son in law is an ER nurse. 12 of his coworkers have tested positive for the virus. He wears multiple layers of PPE his entire 12 hour shift. Sometimes he cannot eat or drink during his shift
To all you assholes out there who are too inconvenienced to wear a mask, fuck you
I received an IRS letter today signed by the orange shitgibbon. I went ballistic. We received our deposit weeks ago. We didn't need a campaign mailer paid for with taxpayer money to claim credit for it.
I hate this man with a white hot intensity.
I’m over 70 years old. The “pro-life“ party thinks I’ve lived long enough. I need to just go ahead and die to benefit the economy.
I think I’ll live another twenty years just to piss them off.
1/ Being a CPA I have to occasionally remind people that corporations received a 40% PERMANENT tax cut under Trump. Forty effing percent! I can't believe we're not in the streets with torches and pitchforks over this. Why is this not a major issue? I don't get it.
Republicans are very concerned about one woman who was killed by a migrant. If she had been killed in a mass shooting by an American citizen with an AR-15 they wouldn't give a shit. Their response would be to loosen up gun laws even more.
Donald Trump is 77 years old and morbidly obese. We have no idea what his health problems are because he won’t tell us. But thanks to the MSM the only thing that ever gets talked about is Biden being too old. Trump is old and fat. Someone should point that out.
I joined the Marines in 1966 on my 18th birthday. I could have dodged the draft. I had asthma and was almost rejected at the physical but I talked my way in. Meanwhile Trump was paying a doctor to fake bone spurs.
But I’m the loser.
I was alive when Blacks were forced to:
Use separate bathrooms & drinking fountains
Ride in the back of the bus
Go to separate schools
Sit in the balcony at the movies
Live in separate neighborhoods
Leave town before sundown
I was there. I witnessed it. Don't try to bullshit me
For all men out there debating if a 15 week abortion ban is OK or maybe it should be a 6 week ban or maybe just banned altogether with no exceptions, when exactly did you think this became your decision? Last time I looked you don't have a uterus. It's not your decision. STFU
Statement from Trump administration: "No one could have possibly known that smugglers might tunnel under the wall. This is a completely new development."
Border Patrol discovers new smuggling tunnel in US
My wife and I took a very cautious venture out yesterday. We went by Target and Lowe's. Both places were swamped with people most of whom had no masks on and were not even attempting to social distance. It was like nothing had ever happened. Why would they do this?
If you were a parent in 1953, you would be fighting to get your child vaccinated. Why? Because you saw what polio was doing to children all across the country.
Speaker of the House Johnson won't pass Ukraine aid until there is a border bill. He won't pass a border bill because republicans need to run on the border issue.
I kid you not. This is the shit stain that republicans consider to be leadership.
2/ This tax cut generated an estimated $2 trillion deficit. Because of that republicans now want to cut SS and Medicare and all kinds of social programs to pay for Exxon, et al tax cut. Why are we not marching in the streets? Does everyone know this?
We lost one of our dogs last night. Had to put down our Golden Retriever who lost his battle with cancer. I'm pretty upset today but I don't share my feelings with real people so I'm doing it online. He was an amazing dog and I miss him terribly.
One example of harm to women by abortion bans is that women are forced to carry a dead fetus to term or until the point that the fetus literally starts to kill them. What exactly is the point of carrying a dead fetus? And why are men making that decision for women?
"You did a good job on her." Words of praise from Dear Leader for abusing a female NPR reporter. How can we tolerate this? WTF is wrong with republicans? What happened to basic decency?
Trump on Pompeo's handling of NPR reporter
NPR interviewed some students this morning. One girl said there was no way she would vote for Biden because he didn't do what he said he would on student debt. First of all , republicans stopped him and secondly, does she think Trump will do anything about student debt? WTF?
Are all the people who are fine with a judge building the kingdom of god from the bench still OK if that judge is a Muslim?
Do you see the problem now?
Stillwater, Oklahoma was forced to rescind a face mask requirement after employees were physically threatened for wearing them, in one case with a gun.
This hatred, violence and intimidation is encouraged by Trump. These people are insane.
I just found out that my old high school sweetheart has died. We stayed in touch off and on since 1966. I don’t think we ever totally quit loving each other but we had gone our separate ways. I am devastated. Getting old sucks.
“It is impossible to overstate how awful and unethical is Aileen Cannon,” added Norman Ornstein, emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. “Clearly has no business being a judge at any level.”
My wife's retirement age was raised back in 1983 when she was too young to realize what they were doing to her. It cost her about $40,000 in benefits. Republicans will f**k over the middle class every time.
“Police going into schools and searching for books is the sort of thing you hear about in communist China and Russia,” she said. “What are we doing?”
Cop Conducts Search for ‘Gender Queer’ Book in Eighth-Grade Classroom
I remember when unarmed, peaceful demonstrators in Wisconsin were arrested for singing.
Not to mention Jane Fonda being arrested every Friday.
But aggressive white men armed to the teeth, forcing their way into the capitol and threatening the governor, no problem.
I am pissed this morning. If we don't rid our country of these f**king republicans they will turn America into Afghanistan. They are literally the American Taliban and they will be the death of democracy and freedom.
Vote these sick bastards out of office!
@RonFilipkowski
Remember when Jackie questioned a Black man's birth certificate, said f**k Christmas, plowed under the rose garden and did all those nude photo shoots? Yeah, me neither.
I have grown to hate the word conservative. News outlets use it to describe people who are demonstrably racists and fascists such as "Charlie Kirk is an ultra-conservative". No he's not. He's a fascist asshole.
Stop using that word.
His uncalled for personal opinions were disgusting and unethical. They were inserted strictly to influence an election which seems like a violation of his oath of office. He is a hard core MAGAt who doesn't give a damn about the law.
Robert Hur is a staunch Republican who exonerated President Biden, while still finding it pertinent to make nasty age related comments.
And that’s how you know Robert is a Republican…can’t avoid the cheap shots. Be Best Bob🤢
If you're an embryo in Alabama you are fine.
If you're a child in Alabama who is hungry, homeless and in need of healthcare you're fucked.
Apologies to the late, great George Carlin.
I'm starting to block MAGAts. I have rarely blocked anyone before but I have reached my limit. I seem to have become a target for some reason and I don't want to see their stupidity. These people are nuts.
As an introvert I have a really hard time calling someone on the phone. I have been known to agonize over it for days. I can chat, email, text or do anything that does not involve an actual live conversation. My wife says I'm nuts.
Are there others out there like me?
I saw this in 1952. In person. I was 4 years old. This has ended thanks to vaccines and kids don’t have to go through this anymore. People who want to bring this back are seriously shitty, ignorant buffoons. No one should listen to them.
I live in Oklahoma. My vote never counts in the presidential election. In fact my vote is taken away and given to the person I did not want elected. There is nothing fair about this system. We all deserve to have our vote counted. Get rid of it now!
The electoral college is a worthless relic and it's insane that it hasn't been abolished yet.
What's even crazier to me is that, in the case of an electoral college tie, it goes to the House instead of going to the popular vote.
Shouldn't THE POPULAR VOTE get to decide?
@Sherloc1976
Ironically, for very small corporations with income under $100,000 this tax "cut" was actually an increase. But it was an actual 40% cut for ALL corporations netting over $100K.
I'm amazed at the number of ordinary people on this site that actually support tax cuts for billionaires & corporations. Trickle down economics is a con. It has contributed to the worst income inequality in the history of the U.S. It does not benefit ordinary people. Just stop it
I know this sounds wacky right now but I truly believe that if Trump is reelected he will never step down. He will refuse to hold elections and at some point when he's incapacitated he will appoint Don, Jr. to take his place. This is why he MUST be stopped.
Speaking of billionaires who want people to keep working until they are 70, have they even thought about age discrimination? Even if you are willing and able to work that doesn't mean you can find or keep a job. Age discrimination is rampant.
BREAKING: Donald Trump just asked Russia to attack our NATO allies. Donald Trump is asking for World War III. Retweet to ensure the whole country knows what Trump is trying to get us into.
113 years ago today the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in New York burned killing 146 people. Doors were locked. Elevators not working. No sprinkler system. Shoddy construction. This is why we have government regulation. You can't trust business to do the right thing.
OK. I have a large influx of new followers. I promise I will follow everyone back but give me some time. I’m hitting Twitter’s follow limit. I’m a bit of fanatic about follow backs so I will get there.
@Michell33650674
I lived through the turmoil of the fifties, sixties and seventies and I thought it was over. Then 2016 happened and I found out that half the country was still hateful, racist bigots. Since then I have watched all of the progress made being taken away. We are going backwards now.
Today, Feb 2, is the birthday of Jayce Carmelo Luevanos. He should be 12 but died at Uvalde in May 2022. Taken from his parents, 3 brothers, 1 sister, & grandparents, Jayce was a thoughtful boy. He ❤️ to brew the ☕️ every morning for his grandparents & leave sweet notes for them.
I have to remind everyone that this is not normal. It is dangerous. It is a direct threat to our democracy. The First Amendment is still in effect. It will not be if Trump is reelected.
Trump campaign sues Washington Post for libel
"Trump wasn’t simply in over his head with the pandemic. He was willfully, maddeningly obstructive and resistant to the most basic mitigation measures."
He actively sabotaged Covid mitigation measures which made the pandemic worse.
NEVER FORGET!!!
Republicans really have their knickers in a twist over Cuomo. They are outraged! Outraged, I tell you.
Oddly, I remember complete silence over Trump and Gaetz, two of the worst GOP sexual predators in recent memory.
@ddale8
@waltshaub
So the imbecile's claim is that he is the greatest fundraiser of all time even though Biden has out raised him by a factor of two to three times which is due solely to the fact that Trump is too ethical to ask for money?
Alrighty then.
We should never forget what Fox News did to this country by spreading Trump’s virulent lies and propaganda. Trump and Fox have killed people by telling them everything is fine and that coronavirus is a hoax. They are both a clear and present danger to this country.
#FoxNewsLies
The supposedly "pro-life" crowd in Texas doesn't give a damn about women dying. The republicans have essentially threatened doctors with a death sentence for giving medical care to a pregnant woman. This shit must end.
I wonder how Biden is going to handle the hecklers' caucus tonight? It was bad last year and I'm convinced it will be even worse this year. All those clowns got tons of free press for their behavior so now there will be more of them and they will be louder.
One governor actually said that poor kids were already fat and didn’t need any more food. There‘s something seriously wrong with republicans. We need to vote these bastards out of office.
EPS does not embrace porn. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot. The problem is that Walters is a juvenile bully. He calls everyone names because he has no intelligent arguments. I can’t believe this moron got himself elected. He needs to be impeached. Now!
I am also ashamed. This is one of the darkest moments in history during my lifetime and it is being perpetrated by the United States. Shameful and disgusting.
Member of US Special Forces says, 'I am ashamed for the first time in my career'
This is the problem with an administration that lies all the time. We can’t trust anything they say. I’m inclined to think they’re lying about this but I don’t have any way of knowing.

Sounds like the city of Tucson needs a large protest on the city hall doorsteps.
I don’t know who this man is but protect him at all costs!! He finally broke it down. So much she had no come back! See the God yall worshipping is yourself and your opinions!! I love how he use the word, the one she claims to know in his argument! Sadly they still won’t get it.…
Iowa governor Kim Reynolds thinks kids are already too fat and don't need more food. Here is the article for those who don't believe it.
The cruelty is the point.
So it’s now official. New York Times poll says majority of voters now consider Biden too old to be effective. I wonder why that is? Oh yeah. It’s the daily news stories on how Biden is too old to be effective. Mystery solved!
Large Marge thinks the only thing wrong with a violent insurrection is that the insurrectionists weren’t carrying guns so that more people could have been killed.
She is nothing but a traitor.
This is shit from the fifties and sixties. I never thought I would see this again. I never thought a person could do this in front of witnesses and not get the shit beat out of them. I never thought at the end of my life this country would turn to Fascism and white nationalism.
What sort of place is Mississippi?
JP Staples, the racist Ole Miss student who made monkey noises as he openly mocked a woman of color, will likely be elected Governor of Mississippi in the next few years by appreciative voters.
Imagine, if you will, a place where saving women's lives is overstepping, where letting them die is not only OK but is required. Welcome to the state of Texas.

@HKrassenstein
I know we’re all used to it by now but it should be noted that these racists support Trump and he fully welcomes that support. I know. I know. It’s so obvious. But we should still all be appalled by it.
I went to Whole Foods today. They’re doing everything right. 95% in masks. Social distancing. Wipes. Hand sanitizer. Cashier sneeze guards. Limits on number inside. If everyone did this republicans would get exactly what they want, a rebounding economy. Why can‘t we do this?
Texas governor says that “some of the recent mass shootings did not involve an assault weapon”.
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Can someone explain that to me?
Take away health insurance. Kick 'em out of their homes. End free school lunches. The right wingers are having a joyful Christmas. Best ever. So much cruelty.

I'm wondering if this Supreme Court might actually nullify the supremacy clause of the US Constitution. They have no regard for the rule of law or the Constitution.
The Supreme Court Is Now Complicit in Texas’ Armed Standoff With the Feds
Republicans cut corporate taxes by 40% (40%! Did you get a 40% tax cut? Hell no you didn't.) Now they're back to whining about SS and MC. They think you should take a cut to fund the billionaires' corporations. Does that sound right to you? Vote. Them. Out!
@TrumpismAgainst
Yep. The January 6 insurrection was the final blow to a forty year friendship when he told me the attackers were BLM and Antifa. I knew then there was no hope.
I keep having a thought that really bugs me. Imagine that you are a GI returning from WWII and you discover that half the country now supports Nazis? Just imagine risking your life and watching your buddies get killed just to come home to the same shit you were fighting.
@Okla_OAG
Oklahoma adopted the McVeigh standard. This state elects people with the same belief system as McVeigh. We have become a state full of hatred, bitterness, ignorance and racism. I am ashamed of what republicans have done to the state and this nation.

Or hired all of his relatives to work in the White House. Or if Michelle had done nude modeling. Or if he made millions playing golf at his own facilities. Or if Russia had helped him win the election. Or he told an average of 20 lies per day. Etc., etc. etc.
You can be forced to return to work. If you don’t return you will lose your unemployment & have nothing. If you go back & get sick you will be barred from suing your employer.
Tell me again why anyone would vote for republicans.
Those kids don’t need no schooling. Billionaires need cheap labor. What did we think would happen when we did away with slavery? Somebody’s got to work in those slaughterhouses.
Rep. Linda Chaney is the author of a Florida bill to let bosses make 16- and 17-year-olds work more than 30 hours a week, and let them deny teens meal breaks.
She says "This bill is about teenagers, they're 16 and 17 years old, they're driving cars, they are not children."
I was talking to a Trumpie this morning. Did you know that all that time that Trump lying about the virus news was to protect us from the truth? We would have panicked if we had known what was really happening and how bad it was.
Damn, that Trump's a nice guy.
Problem: Homeless people have nowhere to sleep.
Solution: Put them in jail.
Problem: Wealthy people have to pay out of pocket for private school.
Solution: Hand them thousands of dollars of taxpayer money.
I’ve slowed my posting somewhat and not being as provocative as normal. My brother is hospitalized with AFib and aphasia combined with other problems. He’s 88 years old so I’m worried about him. He is improving so I’m hoping for the best.
Oklahoma governor Stitt just dumped $2 million into his own campaign, money he made from his slimy sub-prime mortgage business. Anyone who has $2 million to throw away on his own ego has nothing to offer working Oklahomans.
Trump did it. Trump left us completely unprepared. Trump left this country exposed. He did this. Now he’s lying and calling people names. He is a worthless POS.
I ran the White House pandemic office. Trump closed it.
When republicans in Oklahoma had a chance they refused free school lunches paid for by the Federal government but they eagerly accepted giving away $7,500 of Oklahoma taxpayers' money to wealthy parents so they could send their kids to private school. Rs do NOT help poor people.
Surely there must be a few Trump supporters out there who are saying to themselves "maybe this guy isn't as sharp as I thought he was". Is that possible or are have they just drank too much of the Kool Aid?
Trump is lashing out at everyone and everything. He is worried sick. Not about the 100,000 deaths of course but his reelection chances. He sees his campaign going down the toilet and he is fighting like a rabid animal.
