From 2018, but more relevant than ever.
Protests and Demonstrations Do Bring Change
We Can’t Make Progress Without Them.

Many Americans think that mass public demonstrations began in the 1960s. Actually, they’ve been around for hundreds of years, and they’re familiar throughout the world. Demonstrations are a necessary ingredient for social evolution. No significant social, economic, or political change has ever happened anywhere in the world without some form of protest or demonstration.

Fresh from the printer.

The U.S. War Powers Act
Donald Trump has violated it.

On June 21, Donald Trump sent crewed American aircraft into Iranian airspace to bomb three Iranian nuclear facilities because his birthday parade flopped and he’s a whiny crybaby.
Now we continue our national debate about his fitness for the job and authority to issue that order.

Our American Journalists Are Failures
They Promote Donald Trump’s Biggest Scam.
Journalism used to be an honorable profession. But our Fourth Estate causes more damage
to our country with their coverage of the Trusk twins’ stunts than those two imbeciles could ever
dream of.

It's a wonder that Democrats ever get elected.
They suck at campaigning.

Having Obama speak to a room of only campaign volunteers is monumentally stupid.
It's a waste to time, money, and opportunity.

The point of campaigning is to reach people who ARE NOT already committed to the candidate.

She's gonna lose.

Does anyone know what Trump said to Harris when they shook hands last night?
She said "Thank you".

Yet another pathetic turnout for the 43rd annual Pittsburgh Labor Day parade.
It WAS the biggest in US until the Allegheny Fayette Central Labor Council stopped promoting it.
Unconscionable dereliction of duty.
I've seen bigger crowds downtown for a Pirates game.
And that says a lot.
