If we can afford tax breaks for the richest people in this country, don't tell me we can't afford to pay public school teachers and support staff a living wage.

Democrats need to wake up. Texas and Alaska don’t carry you to a victory, this map is horrendous. Get off your ass and vote. I don’t give a fuck if you dislike the candidate, just fucking vote and stop this president. We all think he sucks. Vote like it…

Obama: "Meanwhile, you got the Defense Secretary, who is like a laser focused on important matters like the jawline and testosterone levels of our troops, and livestreaming executions... How much time do you think this man spends in front of the mirror every day?"

How ironic is it that Vivek Ramaswamy looked up the rape of Amy Acton he somehow missed her stepfather’s rap sheet? It’s extensive but Ramaswamy, Trump, and Vance choose to basically stand by the rapist? Ohioans please watch this video before you cast judgement.

Britain had about 30 million hedgehogs in the 1950s; we've got under 875,000 today. The population has dropped by about 97%. Shocking.

If you are trying to win an argument but not having much success, at the end of your statement, no matter what it is, just add, “As the ancient Greeks used to say.”
