The 2nd gilded age is here. The 1st one wasn't great either unless you were an Astor or a Vanderbilt or JP Morgan. #EatTheRich

Chilling. Obscene.

If you’re looking for proof that American politics and media are the most powerful propaganda system in human history, consider that barely anyone can easily afford the basic necessities needed to survive and yet the discourse is mostly about everything other than that

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

Yes, I am 🤬

The Trump Ten Years, Have Been Some Of The Darkest Years.......

Imagine paying $50 for an all you can eat buffet. The lines a bit long but the food is ok. Now imagine you only pay $20 to go to the buffet. But Each piece of food costs $500 dollars. Drinks are at a different buffet. Same with silverware. Long lines too. Universal vs whatever our healthcare is.

“So my wife walks in out of the rain, soaked from head to toe, and I say, ‘Look kids, it’s a drizzly bear!’ She hasn’t spoken to me in two days, but it was totally worth it.”

This belongs in the Smithsonian.

I LONG for those days... Days when Presidents were interested in the entire Nation.

Marco Rubio: “Iranians are radical religious lunatics.” Also: Have you met Paula White, the White House faith advisor?

Definitely NOT a coincidence.

It should be, but it’s not happening.

Hey, News Outlets! How about just ignoring Donald Trump? It will drive him crazy. His parents never gave him enough attention, so he is still a thirsty brat who needs CONSTANT attention. Start the news with "Trump lied again today" and then move on to news about people/things that are interesting.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

So we changed the Department of Defense to the Department of War and then started a not war for the purposes of defense?

Happy Labor Day! “The upper class keeps all the money and pays no taxes. The middle class pays all the taxes and does all the work. The poor are just there to scare the shit out of the middle class.” - George Carlin

When old SVU episodes don’t hold up in modern times.

Same As It Ever Was...

When you claim renewable energies aren’t workable—but you attach solar panels to all your dystopian Flock surveillance cameras.

So much truth here! 😢

Yeah, he posted this!

“Radical left lunatics are cutting off your dicks and I’m putting them back” is an indescribably weird campaign platform.

This day in history. 1990. Saddam Hussein appeared on television to explain that Kuwait was simply the 51st or rather the 19th state of Iraq so he was not an invader but just wanted the oil and minerals that were his or rather Iraq's by right; then he introduced his sons Saddam Jr and I think Eric.

I love #NatalieHarp 's brother. Cool stoner dude who knows what he's seeing, just like we know what we're seeing. I hope she gets some help to escape the cult, and I'd like send some colorado weed to Brother Bud 🌲🌈✌️

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
