[question everything]

1. Add the character "in charge" of national security

[displacedvermoter]

3. Who builds shabby subdivisions cause his family kicked him out of high end development ...

[Emile]

2. Convicted felon who happens to be a pedophile.

[dalton99a]

4. A traitor rapist felon

[Justice matters.]

5. And the rest of the educated world watches the rapid decline of the US

in the hands of absolutely moronic gangsters who know nothing else than breaking all the laws in the books in order to obscenely enrich themselves at the expense of the working class and their grandchildren in complete horror.

[LisaL]

6. And seventy seven millions of citizens voted for this.

I hope they got everything they wanted.

[Grim Chieftain]

9. And that they get what they deserve

Good God, I can't believe this is our country.

[BattleRow]

10. Be careful what you vote for..you just might get it..

[MadameButterfly]

12. And the billionaires who were made rich

in our democracy are on board and helping turn it into an autocracy because the want even more money. And it hasn't occurred to them that freedom to say what they want, not be unfairly imprisoned, not have their wealth stolen by a dictator, or even to live in a country where they are surrounded by happy people--is worth giving up the incremental wealth that they can't even ever spend.

[DFW]

17. It is an irony that more than a few of today's billionaires advanced to that status under Democratic Presidents

Unless you are in the weapons business, the economies of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were very favorable to economic growth.

I first heard this while Bill Clinton was president, but I still think it's true: if you want to live like a Republican, vote for a Democrat.

[MadameButterfly]

19. great saying

i'll be using that.

[DFW]

20. I can't claim credit for it

But it sure seems to be true often enough. Even the average Maggot had it way better under Clinton, Obama and Biden that he/she had it under Cheney or Trump.

[MadameButterfly]

31. i see what you did there

(no need to mention a Bush presidency)

[Ishoutandscream2]

21. I thought Truman said that originally

Nevertheless, it’s very true!

[DFW]

22. That certainly sounds like something he would have said

I was born during the last full year of Truman’s presidency, so my memory of it is somewhat vague.

[3catwoman3]

7. Sums it up quite succinctly.

[BadgerMom]

8. And I'll never forget that their nominations were confirmed by a

Republicans Senate. They bear lots of responsibility.

[progressoid]

14. Cowards

[aggiesal]

11. Today? More like 1.5 years of yesterdays. n/t

[Joinfortmill]

13. You can't make this shit up.

[Blue Owl]

15. Even though we can sort of look back and trace how it happened....

HOW THE ACTUAL FUCK COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED???????????????????????

I still think Dump cheated his way into office with Leon’s sinister assistance. Look to the swing states people.

[raccoon]

18. I'll always believe that.

[relogic]

16. Rod Serling

insists his scripts are still relevant, but recognizing the 21st C surealistic upgrade and peculiar irony he demands CBS return them.

[DFW]

23. If they manage to return them to Rod Serling personally

They had better have the street address of the Twilight Zone.

[relogic]

24. Yes

You forgot to add the measured, precise, resonate diction of Rod when you said that. 😀👍

[DFW]

25. Hey, wait a minute there!

Did you ever listen to the video “Ballad of the Republic-2021?” It’s on youtube.

Ballad of the Republic 2021+Parody

Not Rod Serling, but I think an appropriate voice for the subject

[relogic]

26. Must have been

a descendant of RS with that voice. He’s got it down pat. He did Casey proud.

[DFW]

27. He?

This is ME you’re talking about!

I wrote and did the vocal on that one!!

[relogic]

28. Oh. You did it well

Knocked it out the park.

[DFW]

29. Thanky son!

We do aim to please.

Well, let me amend that. From some of the undeleted Republican comments we left up, obviously not everybody was pleased

[relogic]

30. It hurts when

you lose, pubs. Get over it. Can’t make’’em happy unless you give them the farm and they’ll want the wife too.
