You tell 'em, Sister Swisher. If you're not registered to vote there, butt out! As for the Dems fear of veering too far into the AOC vibe, figure something out. But exclusion of these ideals is not going to work - stand up for what's right and fair.

I'm telling you, this MF Thiel is God to JD. He has totally bought in to Thiel's fascist policies, and Project 25 is laying the groundwork for all of it. He/Palantir and Musk were behind the voting caper in PA. Palantir and DOGE have data-mined all of our info, too. Read up on this guy, BAD NEWS๐คจ

Easy now. MANAGEMENT of these media outlets sold their staff out. Many reputable journalists are hanging in there, and I'm proud of them. Within the industry - both print and media - it is very difficult to move to a new job, so many have to find a way to speak truth in today's tyrannical times.

Suggestion: if/when the Mango Mussolini sends soldiers to Chicago, sincerely welcome them to this great city and hand out pizza to all of them! These soldiers are our children, friends and neighbors and didn't ask for this crap! Kindness will win out. Besides, it's better than throwing it at them!

If the Orange Idiot sends soldiers to Chicago, pizza vendors should go to those areas where their posted and hand out slices! Or maybe whole pies! It's not their fault the Mango Mussolini is putting them in this position. They are our sons and daughters, neighbors and friends. Remember that first.

On the contrary, he WANTS people to give the troops enough of a push-back or create a riot situation to where the troops have to deploy gas, use weapons, etc. This is how he declares a NATIONAL ENERGENCY and subsequently institutes MARTIAL LAW. Then HE CAN SUSPEND ALL ELECTION ACTIVITY until....???

Not realistic. Not EVERYONE who lives in a Red state is a Republican. That's why the Republicans are trying so hard with their redistricting BS and making it more difficult for (some) people to have voting access. It's only a war because the power-hungry Republicans are making it into one.
