On the other hand, Trumpies say, "Oh, yeah, how can anyone have a sandwich without it?!?"

overwhelmed.

How the hell could this country have allowed this to happen? Allowed one man and no more than a third of the country to dictate this overt genocide by incompetence and ignorance?

We are working to turn it around, but damn. Every day a reminder that karma can have a lot of collateral damage. sigh...

That's how we got here and not just in the USA.
Sadly people across the globe now vote as if they're voting for a celebrity on a TV show, a song or dance competition. For profit M$Greedia has turned everything into a fucking circus. Then cuts to education budgets mean no civics lessons and a for profit curriculum dominated by RW ahistorical bullshit text books and more than a few racist teachers.

The entire system is fucked up beyond belief.

It's time to flush the piss called trickle down.

This is not the end, and if all these thugs are not made to account for their deeds then it will happen sooner than later. We have Hawley roaming around like a vulture waiting for the right moment to come down to eat the goods left for him, and unless justice hits trump and his elk with full force, he won't go away and he will try to go even further than trump did.

We are not out of this, let us not forget that 74 million people supported the buffoon, that movements like QAnon are still promoting hate, that militia groups are still planning and recruiting. The FBI needs to gain force to dismantle these hate groups or things will get very bad, they are slowly but surely becoming an alternative army with their sights to do as much damage as they can because that is the only way they know how.

People in office like Greene and the other one (I forget her name...Boehbert???) must be taken out of office, these people do not belong in public office. Greene's answer yesterday about having been taken off the committees "I am OK with that, it would have been a waste of my time, and now I have more time to 'talk to more people'", in other words this woman does not believe about government, about working for the people, her concern is to spread the hate and the lies that roam around her brain, she is very dangerous. Think about it, in the short time she has been in the spotlight she has managed to take over the republican party, Quevin and others seem to be very afraid of her, this should be put on high alert for republicans. I think Moscow Mitch understands it, and maybe the rest too but they are afraid.

and the 74 million - minus those who died from covid -- will be back under their rocks. Biden is off to an excellent start draining the swamp.
