When I was a young man a liberal was someone who was for the common good. Now it’s a certain kind of “bought” Democrat. Instead of re-defining the word “liberal”, shouldn’t we just call them corporate whores?

Hunter Biden said they tied him to a post, threw rotten fruits & vegetables at him and set the post on fire. But when the fire died he still had a platform. They gave him the soap box to speak about the “pink mafia”.

Midterms. Democrats win: This thing is fixable and there’s much work to be done. Republicans win: Big money is too powerful. You might consider leaving the country.

There are entire generations of Americans who have lived only the supply-side economics scam. I think they’re beginning to wonder what’s on the other side.

The odds of building something good out of all or part of the wreckage that will be the United States is greater than the odds of repairing the damage done by big money.

A government''s most important job is a healthy economy. The system, however, is infested with parasites called the economic elite. Do they not know what they're doing? It's not making sense that the parasites would kill the host body.

A tinkerer is the old guy who takes care of things around the house that nobody thinks are important...until he stops doing them. The wealthy think they don't need us but we are tinkerers.

I've been seeing social media posts trying to classify left-of-center voters into different groups, leftists, liberals and progressives. This is handy to know because the more groups there are, the easier it is to arrange a circular firing squad.

I can't help but think this is like watching a 1950's horror movie. A giant swamp monster rises from the depths. The army is called in and hits it with everything it has but the monster only grows stronger. The scientists are about to discover it's weak spot.

Hitler and Mussolini didn't take over their governments they replaced them. Do you really think the GOP is going to re-open ours? The sooner blue states stop sending our federal tax dollars to Washington, the sooner we will be prepared for what's coming.

It's not productive to use language you can't control. You can say Nazi or Fascist but they've already re-defined the words, so it doesn't land. We need something that stings and is brand new. Your thoughts?

My biggest concern about another Cheetoh presidency is that it would give them more time to rig elections. Do you think they'd be voting to strip millions of medical coverage if they believed there would still be fair elections?

Who knew that our institutions were so fragile? Who knew some moron would take pleasure in destroying them? Who knew there were so many voters dumb enough to think it was a good idea?
