"Stop overspending" was never an issue when the top 1% paid a 91% marginal tax to help fund America's infrastructure, domestic mfg, & social welfare during Jim Crow
It became an issue when Jim Crow ended & Reagan slashed taxes on the wealthy
In short, its 100% rooted in racism. Even though white Americans in conservative states are USA's largest welfare recipients, "more white people in the US oppose welfare programs, in part because of increasing "racial resentment."

This would make it worth AR goggles.
@AlliFlowers Can this be real? They do realize that Antifa means anti-fascist. So now they are officially supporting fascism??🙄

The Russian soldier reported that they had machine gunners and were instructed to shoot indiscriminately, killing children, women, men, locals, and non-locals. They went into houses and shot everyone inside. In one day, they killed at least 400 people and destroyed the town of Kremenna.

#TheHeadCrook I agree that Trump needs, the country needs to see him with the view behind bars. It’s long past due, that top leadership has avoided facing responsibility for their actions.
While it’s worrisome that the Right Wing will respond by calling for the prosecution of anyone who opposes them. 🙄

There will be some more political violence from the extremists on the right I suspect, but there's no way around it without allowing them to use that threat to further undermine our rule of law.
It sucks, but hopefully we'll survive through it fairly well and it will be relatively short-lived.

Florida freedom is:
The ability of the state to kidnap trans children
The ability to search children’s genitals
The ability to ban books
The ability to run over protesters
The ability to lose billions in business
The ability to have a private militia publicly funded
The ability to imprison doctors who give medical care
And declaring war on the LGBTQ community
The NAACP is right. More organizations need to warn about the dangers of traveling to or doing business with Florida.

#TheHeadCrook This is not something I’d hold my breath for, but I’d be simultaneously delighted and worried about as it regarding a trigger for some kind of National upheaval. Or… there might just be a giant sigh of relief. 🤔

For those of us that enjoy schadenfreude despite whatever character flaw(s) that might indicate, the orange chump's social media posts this weekend are delicious. It seems clear that he's finally coming to grips with the distinct possibility that he'll be spending his twilight years behind bars.
