GOP has been doing this to us and it has to stop in November.

Slow slicing​Slow slicing (Lingchi), also translated as the slow process, the lingering death, or death by a thousand cuts or “千刀万剐”, was a form of torture and execution used in China from roughly AD 900 until its abolition in 1905. In this form of execution, the condemned person was killed by using a knife to methodically remove portions of the body over an extended period of time. The term língchí derives from a classical description of ascending a mountain slowly.

trump is the weakest leader a leader could be

A leader unites, a leader is an model for our better angels, a leader has the majority that support them. So why is our Country so divided? We know exactly why.

"Oh well" ... said to me by person not wearing a mask

what's worse she also said, "Don't tell me about Covid, my nephew just died of it."

Here is the story: had to drive downstate for medical reasons. The Mackinaw bridge, great, toll takers wearing masks, gloves and no cash, only credit card that is inserted into the card machine without the person ever touching your card. The State of Michigan is being responsible to try and keep her citizens safe. But, don't drive downstate because it is chock full of trumpists who blindly follow their "no mask", fake pres.

So, had to stop for gas. The woman at the cash register (late 60's) was not wearing a mask. I began talking with her and showed my concern for her because she was not wearing a mask and 90% of the people at this gas station were not wearing masks, so I showed concern.

She went off on me and said her nephew just died of Covid. I high tailed it outta there. When I got home I called the Health Department and told them that if this woman was in contact with her nephew than why is she not quarantining herself and NOT EVEN WEARING A MASK.

The local Health Dept. and their Covid task force was going over to talk to that woman and investigate the place of business. What about tracking and tracing, I asked? The Covid nurse was right on it. I am not gong to take the shit from shitheads that practice trump.

WE THE PEOPLE ... so why is trump ignoring us?

Why is our democratic system so screwed up? trump? limbaugh? hannity? anything on FOX? Or maybe we have tolerated idiots because we believe in free speech and fairness. NOT ANYMORE. These people will sacrifice our values over their political ambitions and even worse ... financial gain and this is when our country becomes a 'Banana Republic without the bananas' ... quote, de atkinson

The rules of the Paycheck Protection Program keep changing. And the latest rules change has some business owners thinking about giving their money back. Before they do, they should read this.

trump TV network?? FT

The last thing I will tolerate is seeing trump on the TV every night on his newly created network and I am not talking about FOX.
He wants his own and is already investing. When trump loses the election he better be in jail, not on any show spouting lies night after night. THIS madness has got to stop somewhere.

Don Jr. have been looking to buy a station for Trump TV,” said one source briefed on the talks. “This is all about building a Fox competitor. Trump is really aiming to take down Fox,” the person briefed on the deal told me. “The Herrings have no agreements in place, written or oral, to sell any stake of its business or interest in OAN to any party,” Charles P. Herring, president of Herring Networks, OANN’s parent company, said in a letter after this article was published. (A person close to Hicks said he resigned his position from the family business when he joined the RNC and isn’t involved in an OANN deal).


Trump now is on the verge of having that alternative. According to sources, an investor group aligned with his son Don Jr. and the Dallas-based Hicks family is in negotiations to acquire a major stake in One America News Network, the fledgling conservative cable-news channel that features hosts like Jack Posobiec, a chief promoter of the Pizzagate conspiracy. “[RNC co-chair] Tommy Hicks and Don Jr. have been looking to buy a station for Trump TV,” said one source briefed on the talks. “This is all about building a Fox competitor. Trump is really aiming to take down Fox,” the person briefed on the deal told me. “The Herrings have no agreements in place, written or oral, to sell any stake of its business or interest in

Why is it so easy for trump/white collar crooks to break our laws

Seems that there are no penalties or that the crooks like trump can use the law to delay justice until there can never ever be justice. But, fuck, if you are a poor black kid accused of stealing a pack of cigs, you get an execution right there on the hot blacktop, shot dead in the street as if he were like the rabid dog in 'To Kill a Mockingbird"

Americans are fucking fed up. RW idiots trying to define what civil liberty is ... these fuckers want to bring back SLAVERY! Get it?

President Biden, bring back fairness, justice and facts to us.

Flag Day coming near. We the People, own this, not RW belligerents

The US officially adopted the Stars and Stripes flag exactly 232 years ago — here's how it used to look before the current design

Here's what Congress said at the time: "Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
