I guess it's just easier to put zip ties on people in wheelchairs peacefully protesting Medicare cuts than it is to arrest the as****es who showed up with bear spray on J6.

There's a fable about a scorpion that convinces a frog to help it get across a river. The frog recognizes the danger that the scorpion poses but the scorpion convinces the frog that it'll be fine because if the scorpion stings the frog they will both drown.

Halfway across the river the scorpion stings the frog.

The frog asks why the scorpion stung him given how they will both now die.

"It's in my nature," the scorpion replied.

Republican voters are frogs and their elected representatives are scorpions.

This is the flyer U.S. Senator Thom Tillis, R - NC, passed out to his Republican colleagues in the Senate today, noting that the GOP budget proposal puts 600,000 North Carolinians at risk of losing their Medicaid coverage.

Tillis has also signaled that he will vote for the budget anyway.

Because of course he has. It's in his nature.

Good night and good luck.

Are you telling me he is using this word but it does not mean what he thinks it means?

Or maybe he's just a fu***ng liar.

A new U.S. intelligence report suggests that Iran’s nuclear program has been set back only a few months after U.S. strikes, not “completely and totally obliterated” as President Donald Trump has said.

The man being beaten by the ICE goons is "Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines."

In a graphic video that has since gone viral on social media, about seven or more masked men wearing U.S. Border Patrol vests are seen violently detaining a father in Santa Ana before forcing him i…

Some?

Some of the seven Democrats who voted for Noem say they'd now oppose her in the wake of Trump's aggressive deportation plans and last week's incident involving Sen. Alex Padilla.
