in the hands of absolutely moronic gangsters who know nothing else than breaking all the laws in the books in order to obscenely enrich themselves at the expense of the working class and their grandchildren in complete horror.

in our democracy are on board and helping turn it into an autocracy because the want even more money. And it hasn't occurred to them that freedom to say what they want, not be unfairly imprisoned, not have their wealth stolen by a dictator, or even to live in a country where they are surrounded by happy people--is worth giving up the incremental wealth that they can't even ever spend.

Unless you are in the weapons business, the economies of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were very favorable to economic growth.

I first heard this while Bill Clinton was president, but I still think it's true: if you want to live like a Republican, vote for a Democrat.

I was born during the last full year of Truman’s presidency, so my memory of it is somewhat vague.

HOW THE ACTUAL FUCK COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED???????????????????????

I still think Dump cheated his way into office with Leon’s sinister assistance. Look to the swing states people.

Did you ever listen to the video “Ballad of the Republic-2021?” It’s on youtube.

Ballad of the Republic 2021+Parody

Not Rod Serling, but I think an appropriate voice for the subject
