Oh yeah!!!

I’m printing this one out for a keeper! I suspect it’ll be an evergreen accessory that holds up as we get more of these delicious stories rolling out.

I also appreciate that there’s a square for exclamation points. He writes tweets as though he’s an adolescent girl writing in a friend’s school yearbook (having BEEN one, I know this from personal experience)! !!!

!!!!! (You’re The BEST! Don’t ever change!! And I hope you have a BITCHIN summer!!!!)

Great graphic!

Delete vets all the points simply, and it’s a visual, too. Most people need a visual to wrap their brains around, to learn or absorb something. As I’ve read, most Americans process information visually.

Well, we ARE seeing more news outlets confirming the basic story.

As I’m writing this, the brand new breaking news just erupted - that NBC News has now independently confirmed the overall story. CNN had it first, then Reuters, and then the Wall Street Journal - all last night. This morning, NBC News joins that group.

Love how theyve demonstrated a cute way to

become many separate “people” by using a photo of a part of your face, or your collar, or your hairline or something as your “photo”.

(Why can’t I put an apostrophe in the subject line - should be “they've”?)

Yep. That one.

Neither is the one where trump hair is eating the planet.

That one gets my vote, although they’re all good. The rest of the world is NOT fooled. Which unfortunately means we ALL are being led around by a minority percentage of goons, deplorables, and the pathetically ignorant.

Kobach has been bad news from the get-go.

He’s from Kansas. And look how “well” that state is doing these days!

I never had a poem scare me til I read that poem back in school.

It thoroughly unnerved me. Still creeps me out.

And let's just remember one thing about their hard-on to "repeal and replace."

THERE WAS NO SUCH THING.

For almost all of the Obama years. It was just plain ol' REPEAL. These weasely assholes NEVER wanted to repeal "and replace." Screw the "replace" part. All they wanted, and all they voted for, in those 50-some-odd useless votes they took during that whole time - was to REPEAL.
To TAKE IT AWAY.
To GET RID OF IT.
To DO AWAY WITH IT.
To TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU, and deny you affordable health care - because we all are not supposed to depend on guvmmmnt for anything (except war-making). If you want your government to help you get health care, that means you're nothing but a lazy moocher in the GOP's eyes.

All they've EVER wanted to do, since the dawning of the Affordable Care Act, is to get rid of it - TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU. It's nothing but a "hand-out." "Government giveaway." Or the ever-popular "free stuff." (Like that "free stuff" that EVERY Congressmember and Senator gets? THAT "free stuff', you mean?)

This "they've been trying to repeal and replace for seven years..." crap is just that. CRAP. They never wanted to replace anything with anything. They just wanted the ACA REPEALED. PERIOD. GONE. PERIOD. To Cease To Exist. PERIOD. And they never wanted you to have it in the first place. All they EVER wanted to do is repeal. PERIOD. I don't know why no one has brought up this sneaky little reframing job, and debunked it, and corrected the record! And all most of the jerks on the air these days are doing is mindlessly carrying that ball all over the field til everybody is somehow brainwashed into thinking that's what happened throughout the Obama years. And NOTHING of the kind is what happened. They never wanted to "repeal and replace" the ACA with ANYTHING - except a lot of hot air and zeroes on the government ledger sheet.

Please let's not forget that. Let's not let them forget it, either! They're just trying to rewrite history.

Extraordinary shot!

Couldn't be more perfect. Stunning!
