It is a measure of just how surreal life in America has become that we are ACTUALLY discussing

the distinct possibility that Trump may be reelected.

Seriously?

Are so many who walk among us THAT immoral? THAT mindless? THAT masochistic?

Plainly and simply: EVERY FBI agent who told a prosecutor they "would be more inclined to

believe Trump" should be fired. The man has told over 30,000 verified lies!

If that is the quality and extent of their judgment, decency and objectivity, who in hell needs them in any aspect of law enforcement?

Outlawing child labor; safe and sanitary on-site drinking water; overtime pay; the 40 hour

work week, sick days, vacation days, the minimum wage; OSHA; NLRB; EEOC-----------

Employers "gave" none of these to working folks. Working people and their unions obtained these benefits to all Americans by DEMANDING them and then striking even when it meant dealing with hunger, picket-line violence from corporate goons and betrayal by corrupt government

We may take those things for granted now, but didn't we also take the "settled law" of Roe v Wade for granted?

Power is never surrendered; it must be taken.

SUPPORT ORGANIZED LABOR---PERIOD! That's what the Democratic Party I grew up in always did.

As the saying goes: "If you don't have a seat at the table---you're on the menu!"

Who should be our candidate in 2024? It isn't really complicated, though some would like

to make it so: Joseph R. Biden.

Sweep away all of the fact-challenged Republican attacks and the breathless concerns being murmured by our own pearl-clutchers and what you are left with is a, yes, imperfect man who, so far, has been the most accomplished POTUS---both at home and abroad---in this Democrat's 74 years.

Yes, he will be the oldest POTUS in our history, but his years have anchored him in the real world where facts matter and America is STILL the world's best hope and his mind is sharp enough to own the GOP during his nationally televised SOTU address.

I'm still ridin' with Biden and there's room in here for everyone.

"Define 'WOKE'!"

That should be the challenge to any RWNJ mouthing the supposed one-word put-down of all "librul snowflakes".

I predict you'll see a lot of foot-shuffling and hear a lot of stammering word salad that never quite forms a complete sentence.

After a few seconds, walk away shaking your head and audibly chuckling.

IDIOTS!
