TODAY IN AMERICA 30/9/23
On this last day of September, a large portion of the country is STILL sweltering in the gawd-awful climate change driven heat.
New York declared a state of emergency as more than 10 inches of rain unexpectedly dropped from the sky. It created chaos for millions.
Instead of donning a coat against the Autumn cool, Americans are wearing out yet another pair of shorts and tank tops.
More elderly died from the heat today. The day before October!
I guess that we won't have a government shutdown after all-the house approved a bill to fund the government for 45 more days.
Then we get to do this all over again. I'm getting so tired of this nonsense and drama. Let's vote the Republicans out of office and end this hostage taking shit.

I’m pretty accustomed to hearing the Median MAGA Voter take but even I had to clutch my pearls during these focus group convos about Nikki Haley and not wanting a woman president.

This is the forgotten history of Chinese slaves in America. People think African Americans were the only slaves in this country. However, there were Chinese slaves who came to this country thinking that they had the opportunity of "mining gold" or working for a higher pay job. But the moment they arrived, they became real slaves. They got beaten up and they never received the wage they were promised to have. They were actually enslaved. #slavery

“Some $300 billion in Russian central bank assets are currently frozen in democratic countries. Do these countries have the right to transfer assets from a Russian account to a Ukrainian one?
The answer is yes—without a doubt.”
