I love Randy Rainbow's new video and his impersonation of my girl Billy Eilish!

May as well dismantle the forest service. By loosening regulations and oversight of polluters, the forests will die anyway. So will the birds, insects, reptiles, and mammals....
Yes, trump is a god. A vengeful god. And he's getting even with everyone who ever gave him a wedgie, a noogie, or took aim at him in dodge ball. And everyone else, because that's what a colossal ego does.

I think we should dismantle Congress and start over.   I used to say the extreme right-wing MAGA hat wearing Trump-backing sycophants were the problem, but the way our legislators have turned the hall of government into an "us versus them" battleground instead of working for the common good of the people they are supposed to be representing makes me think that it's time to send them all packing and start fresh with new blood, new rules such as term and campaign funding limits (and fewer loopholes to those funding limits), and more accountability to those people who elected them, not just paid for their campaigns.

Sigh.

Is it the 25th Amendment, section 4 ?

It started off being a real weird and wacky comedy, complete with American slapstick and an orange faced clown with undersize hands.
That was from here on the outside, but it has turned into a cancer that is destroying the world.

Even in the country with the highest ownership of BANG BANG and the amendment 25, you'd still be stuck with J.D.Advance his own lot, and the other clown following yes men.

Remember April 12th, 1861.

You can do it again, no worries, you outnumber them something like 330,000,000 to 12 or so.

I'm right with you, even from over the vast salty sea.
