I am tired of this "Silent Majority" myth

For one, they are not silent. They are the most obnoxious, in your face, wearing their MAGA hats, always spouting their opinions people there are. Second, they aren’t the majority of Americans, but are the hateful, racist 35%.

Saw Rush Limbaugh trending

Was hoping he was dead, but no luck. He is trending for calling Senator Harris a ho.

Coronavirus and politics

I am constantly hearing that coronavirus decisions (I.e masks mandates, college football cancellations, etc...) are political. And yep, the people doing the whining are conservatives....And that’s the problem, they see everything through a political lens...they are the ones making the coronavirus about politics by saying it’s political ...Maybe if instead of making it about politics and actually following advice and guidelines we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in now.....they would literally rather die (Herman Cain) than listen to some “Librul”....

What's the big deal about Israel and UAE peace?

Why is Trump acting like this is huge? I mean I know why he is, but why should anyone else care. It’s not like this is some peace deal between Palestine and Israel. Were Israel and UAE even beefing?

Aurora Police Department apologizes after officers draw weapons on Black family

Brittney Gilliam was going to a nail salon Sunday with her 6-year-old daughter, 12-year-old sister and 14- and 17-year-old nieces when police drew their weapons on them. Gilliam said she, her sister and 17-year-old niece were handcuffed while police verified that the car Gilliam was driving was not stolen.


No need to apologize, the family should have just complied and none of this would have happened. Plus, I heard the 6 year old was sent to timeout in kindergarten.

When Biden wins and the Dems have control of both houses

This is when we have to be more active and not lose focus. Republicans and the right wing media are at their best when they are in the minority and the ‘94 and ‘10 elections are big reasons why we are in the mess we are in now. Those elections were both tsunami elections in which 1994 took us a long time to climb out of, and we still haven’t got out the 2010 hole.

NBA is back!

And I like how they aren’t trying to pacify certain elements of America. They went all in with the “Black Lives Matter” on the court and know who their fans are. The league may not be as popular as the NFL, but they realize that they can still be a billion league even without the bigger numbers.
