Barack Obama hasn't been President in almost 10 years. MAGA racists cannot get past the fact that a Black man was President, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and will be remembered in history as one of the great leaders of the 21st Century. RETWEET if you love President Obama! 💙

He wants to get out of NATO and this is his way. He gets to distract from his pedophile past in the process. Move the doomsday clock ahead. This is fucking ridiculous but it's what you get when you vote for a dangerous narcissist. WTF were you thinking? #Greenland #WW3 #Epstein

With the latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%. It's the fucking guns.

She performed around the world, but she failed to gain the wider following that many critics thought she deserved. “The curiosity,” one wrote, “lies in the discrepancy between her prodigious gifts and her relative lack of renown.”

Her career spanned decades, included performances at the Metropolitan Opera and brought her effusive praise from critics and operaphiles.
