If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Why the Hell are we allowing a crazy old man, who has little time left to live, make decisions that will affect the US and the world for years to come? His time is up and yet he is determined to burn it all down and ruin it for the young who will be here long after he is a bad memory. Stop him now!

And yet Trump insists we burn fossil fuels instead of embracing the simple truth that you just need to point these at the sun and to limitless energy.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

What serious mental issues would lead Trump to do everything to destroy the US and alienate allies? To disregard civil rights, send soldiers to major cities, end science based medicine, disregard all science on climate change and end all renewable energy development. CONGRESS, the dude is CRAZY!

Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3

Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
