JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.

Alex Jones’ cell phone is everything Republicans dreamed Hunter Biden’s laptop would be.

If Republicans can’t sell their anti-women bullshit in Kansas, they can’t sell it anywhere.

President Obama killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. President Biden killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s replacement. Donald Trump invited the Taliban to hang out at Camp David on 9/11, freed 5,000 of their elite fighters from prison, and tried to kill Mike Pence.

Always good to remember that the entire GOP is still committed to this coup. It’s ongoing. This isn’t the past.

Let’s get this straight, once and for all: Nationalism is not patriotism, it’s a perversion of patriotism.

I would like to politely point out that people who are emotionally capable of burying family members on golf courses are usually also emotionally capable of sitting in New York to testify.

Did you know? When Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004, mass shootings increased by 245%. — These numbers tell a story.

Adolf Hitler didn’t operate the gas chambers. But he was responsible. Charles Manson didn’t murder anyone. But he was responsible. Osama bin Laden didn’t fly the planes. But he was responsible. Donald Trump didn’t storm the Capitol. But he was responsible. Justice matters.

Feels utterly absurd that Al Franken had to resign for a joke photo he took years before he was a senator, but elected officials who participated in or encouraged an armed insurrection to overthrow our democracy are allowed to stay in government.

Trump is extremely malicious, but — as everyone knows — not the brightest candle on the chandelier. So who is the mastermind behind this ongoing coup?

1. Religious freedom means you can practice any religion you want, or none at all. 2. Religious freedom doesn’t mean you can use your beliefs to dictate what others can and cannot do. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Am I the only one who thinks the Secret Service is doing their best to cover up who planted the pipe bombs, disabled Mike Pence’s key card, removed the panic button in Ayanna Presley’s office, and shared the locations of non-reinforced Capitol windows?

Here’s the way I see it: In 2022, criminals shouldn’t be protected from criminal charges just because they’re members of Congress or are trying to become one. “Election year sensitivity� my ass — it’s about the survival of America, damn it!

Nothing says ban assault rifles like 5 school officers, 8 federal DEA officers, 13 U.S. Marshals, 16 sheriff’s deputies, 25 Uvalde officers, 69 officers of nearby law enforcement, 91 state police officers plus 149 U.S. Border Patrol agents being scared of 1 shooter with an AR-15.

The GOP is now the party that locks up pregnant people who cross state lines to get an abortion and cheers on guys like Kyle Rittenhouse who cross state lines to commit mass murder.

Joe Manchin makes $500,000 a year from one of the dirtiest coal plants in West Virginia. That’s more than twice his salary as U.S. senator. How is this even legal?

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump made $640 million while “working� in daddy Trump’s administration, and after leaving the White House, Kushner got $2 billion from Saudi Crown Prince MBS for covering up Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. That is what corruption looks like. Not some laptop.

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts� and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts, rockets and spacecraft�. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

If Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh doesn’t want to be bothered at dinner, perhaps, according to his own logic, he should simply not allow himself to get hungry.

Did you know? Thomas Jefferson, who helped write the Declaration of Independence, said we should rewrite the Constitution every 20 years so that modern society would not be ruled by the dead. — I say it’s high time for an update.

When it’s easier to get an assault weapon than a life-saving abortion, that’s when you know it’s a war on women.

1. At age 10, all boys have their vas deferens severed. 2. After age 25, the vasectomy can be reversed at any time if a woman agrees — notarized — to have a child with this man. 3. After the birth, the father has another vasectomy. It’s about time we control men’s bodies too.

Everyone knew about R. Kelly. Everyone knew about Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Cosby, and Harvey Weinstein. Everyone knew about the Catholic priests. Everyone knew about Trump. I am so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

December 2020: General Colin Powell urged the U.S. military to recall Michael Flynn and court-martial him for sedition. October 2021: General Powell passed away. June 2022: Flynn still spreads hate speech while enjoying his pension as “General�. Where’s your outrage, America?
