It's So Easy To See Now
First, Happy Spring! Spring is wonderful! Now, onto the stuff...
Maybe even up to a few years ago, ok maybe 10 years ago, I'd have been a bit doubtful in believing that politicians and their like, including the media, manipulate things so very overtly. But not anymore.

And the Senators were gonna too, and Schumer was all into it. And then... what happened? Schumer and a few others, like Fetterman!, caved. Of course. (I have to admit, I like Hartmann's term for Trump - the 'Mango Mussolini'. Hah!)

Opinions will vary, and I am keen to see an argument made for the Keagle being the worst threat to democracy ever. Here is where Dubya set the bar:

Dems hit all-time low
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 03/17/2025 - 9:16pmA majority of Democrats hate Trump and Musk and want the party to fight for their interests, which means they are all suffering from TDS.
