"We are going to put on the armor of God. And maybe strap on a Glock on the side of us just in case." -AZ Senate candidate Kari Lake

The blending of White Christian Nationalism and increasingly overt calls for violence is a dangerous combination.

Curious if you have read the book by Bradley Onishi "Preparing for War"...

Great book that talks about this exactly. Mixing religion with politics and then using the language of violence because "we have God on our side". Of course it's all a bunch of bullshit.

How is this topic even newsworthy? This is a board game and nobody is being forced to play it...

Well said. Time to take the gloves off and stop pampering and bowing down to Netanyahu.

44 million Americans — including 13 million children — are food insecure.

Meanwhile, America's 813 billionaires are now worth a combined $5.7 trillion.

Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

I am housing insecure at the moment and that is even worse. I have enough money but will have to move soon and need to deal with the possibility of slumlords, the possibility of bad management, the issue of just finding and getting into a place...

I have an excellent rental history and excellent credit as well. But then I run into things like online applications where they want $53 from a credit card. I don't do credit cards. So that becomes a roadblock. It's stupid. Give me a chance.

And of course, it is the wealthy who own those buildings. People who don't even live in your city but they want your money. And management is always a shortcut so profits can be greater. The heat stays on when it is 80 outside. You tell them and they say that "you complain too much"... That one actually happened...

I'm just a guy who goes to work and then pays his bills.

For the 7th time this year, MAGA extremists killed the GOP’s own bill by voting no on the “rule” to advance it. This time it was a renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act—all because Trump wrongly claimed it was used against his campaign. The GOP is pure dysfunction.

It's a real circus for sure. They don't get anything done but don't really care. But at least it is about "stickin it to Biden". LOL.

Read this book... Of course this time it is actually the House that doesn't work...
