  • I believe the letter was from the 900 former justice department employees who were trying to warn the chuds in congress that just let him sail through why it was a really bad idea to give this guy the green light. Bc of testimony provided by 900 people.

    Luckily Grassley and co. don’t like making decisions based on “evidence.”

    Like evidence can only tell you so much. If we look at all the evidence we’ve seen this week, it looks like Republicans in congress willingly protect pedophiles even when they’re given the chance to vote to expose them. But obviously we know from their own words that can’t possibly be true. Ya know bc evidence can be deceiving and what not.




















  • I know many red states have been trying to defend Republican Medicaid cuts by blaming residents for being unhealthy.

    “We tried to give you healthcare, but it wasn’t sustainable bc y’all just don’t know how to take care of yourselves.”

    The cost being unsustainable is pure bullshit anyway, but even if that were true, the idea that when looking at the cost of covering healthcare in the United States, their go to argument for why it’s so expensive, places the blame on the patients for needing healthcare.

    As if nobody has ever pointed out side by side bills comparing the cost of the same hospital stays in the U.S. vs just about any other county.

    Peak authoritarian government acting like a narcissistic parent and gaslighting America into believing the reason they can’t take care of their kids is bc the kids are at fault. Not bc they just suck as a parent and shouldn’t have kids if they can’t take care of them.












  • The article is about the list of Putin’s inner circle since the beginning of the war in Ukraine (2 in just the last week).

    Starovoit is among a number of state officials and prominent businessmen who have died in mysterious circumstances since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Putin’s foes and critics have often met with violent deaths.

    I think most people know the number of individuals who have fallen out of windows would be a much bigger list. 6 very prominent individuals with direct links to Putin have been killed, just over the past week 2 more have been killed and several have been arrested. It seems like Putin is taking over any resources he needs and cleaning house in an attempt to defeat Ukraine.

    Also, that was the suggested auto title, and how it appears on the homepage of the news website.
