  • Of course Russia intentionally launched their drones into Poland. All of NATO needs to come down hard on Russia and their allies with debilitating sanctions not only to send a message but also to hopefully prevent a much wider war.

  • Do you all remember that one kid growing up that always cheated to win games because they weren’t good enough to win fairly? Everyone hated playing with that kid and eventually stopped playing with him.

    We now have a president and an entire political party full of those types of people.

    I have a crazy idea. How about we stop voting for the people no one wanted to play with when they were kids because their first instincts were to cheat to get what they wanted?

  • Vaccines work. They have saved lives and prevented illness for generations at this point.

    Knowing the president does seem to care about his family, this can all be solved very easily with a few questions asked every day until he gets rid of RFK Jr. once and for all:

    1. Are you vaccinated?
    2. Are your children vaccinated?
    3. Are your grand children vaccinated?
      • No? Have you ever pictured your grand children in an iron lung because they are suffering from Polio?
        • No? Let me show you this AI-generated image of one of your grand children in an iron lung.

    Problem solved.

  • If you’ve been holding off on that hiking trip in a national forest, now’s the time to stop waiting. That dream hike is not going to look the same after these goons get done destroying our forests.

  • Let’s all remember that without public television, there would be no Wayne’s World. What a sad world this would be.

  • Immigrants are literally the cooks in our kitchens. Perspective is important. We are all ultimately from somewhere else.

  • Let’s all remember that Andreesen is the product of a state-funded public university (University of Illinois), and his wealth is the byproduct of his work at National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the same university.

    The U of I is a diverse and welcoming community and has been as long as I can remember. Andreesen has clearly been corrupted by his wealth and has forgotten from where he came.

  • Missouri voters, how does it make you feel that the same people you voted to represent you are now directly and blatantly overriding your will as a voter by repealing a law for which you as a whole voted in overwhelmingly numbers?

    I cannot stress enough that it is so important to vote for the people that share your beliefs. Imagine a Missouri House and Senate where almost 60% of the representatives supported workers rights over businesses (who are not people no matter what the Supreme Court said). This state would be a much different place.

  • Let me direct you to the following quotation from the linked Washington Post article:

    To offset the bill’s cost, Republicans proposed steep cuts to Medicaid, the state and federal health insurance program for low-income individuals and disabled people; and SNAP, the anti-hunger Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program formerly known as food stamps.

    Think about that for a moment. The Republican Party‘s best idea to offset the costs of this monstrosity of a bill is to directly hurt the most vulnerable in American society by impacting their ability to access healthcare and food. For most people I have come to know all over this planet, doing something like this would be a hard no.

    Republican voters, this is not what you voted for, is it? You have more compassion and care for your neighbors than this, right?
