BREAKING: Goldman Sachs has predicted that under Kamala Harris, economic growth would be larger, inflation would be lower, and the budget deficit lower than under Donald Trump. This is a huge endorsement.

Do you remember growing up with the constant threat of school shootings? I don't. Most Gen X and millennials don't. So no, they aren't a "fact of life," JD Vance.

a picture of the guy who says shootings are a "fact of life"

JD Vance responds to the deadly shooting in Georgia by saying school shootings are just “a fact of life” and attacking common sense gun safety reform

When shots were fired at Trump MAGA Republicans were furious... When shots are fired at students and teachers, MAGA Republicans: "it's a fact of life" and "We’ve got to deal with it.” As a teacher I say this is bullshit and it's time for major change.

A lot of ink has already been spilled about how Harris must define herself compared to Trump in the debate. Let me help. Sane vs insane. Coherent vs incoherent. Young vs hold. Future vs past. Law-abiding vs law-breaking. See, that wasn't so hard.

Two important and wildly under-reported stories starting to truly break through: - Russia's deep penetration of the Republican Party - Trump's utter madness Feels like the dam is starting to break on both now.

Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance faced a wave of criticism after referring to school shootings as a “fact of life” during a rally in Arizona. theintellectualist.com/jd-vance-schoo…

Seeing more of this. Don't give up on having conversations with people about what's going on. The seeds you plant will bare fruit, especially as Trump continues to spiral downward into incoherence and hate.

To celebrate the National Fraternal Order of Police endorsing trump here’s a clip of a trump supporter beating a cop with an American flag while MAGA attacked the US Capitol

The nation's largest police union just endorsed a convicted felon who bragged about committing sexual assault and incited a mob to beat up cops at the Capitol. Mentioning this in case you think there's no political crisis in this country and people like me are overreacting.

Dear National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) National Fraternal Order of Police, Today you DISGRACED your badge. Today you DISGRACED your code. Today you DISGRACED your oath. Your support of Donald Trump as a Presidential candidate after Jan 6 in which your fellow officers were beaten and killed is a DISGRACE.

Don Winslow National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) This is some serious rot when the blue doesn’t back their own, but a convicted felon instead.
