He's Archie Bunker with a slightly better vocabulary and Archie was still easier to listen too.

People say socialism is the future but I ask you if socialism could foster an innovative tech industry that trapped us all in a suicidal arms race that will collapse our economy while using up all our resources and funnelling billions of dollars into the pockets of 6 people? I think NOT!

We should stop listening to republicans.

🤔 James Carville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.” 😬Bill Kristol: “Good point.” So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.

Trump: "This guy is a jihadist. Mohammed El-Sayed. He said 'my name is not Mohammed.' I said, 'I'm the President of the United States. I can call you whatever the hell I want.'"

Kid Rock seems domesticated, but then again…look at him!!!

Kid Rock on Fox & Friends: "It appears that El-Sayed is assimilated ... and I would like to make the point that there have been other people who have assimilated to this country. The Fort Hood shooter. Those extremists that became pilots and crashed into our World Trade Center."

I’ve said more than once that if trickle down economics worked the country would be drowning in great paying jobs for everyone.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Steve Bannon issues warning to voters if they vote for Democrats in the midterms: “I think you’ll see Bobby Kennedy impeached, I’ll think you see Pete Hegseth impeached. I think you’ll see subpoenas flying every day. They will look to destroy Trump, and we’ll be bogged down for two years.”

This man has no business being a leader in the Democratic Party. None. Just disgusting.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

If you were gonna pay your hard-earned money to buy insurance, would you ever use it? The answer is yes"
