Old joke.

A scientist is incredibly vain. He gets hired to work with a disease that causes human skin to putrefy. One day he discovers he’s caught the disease. He looks in the mirror, and the skin is literally rotting off his face.

“Yes, but on me, it looks good.”

Six months from now he’ll be boasting about how splendid it was.

No, my first place was literally that color.

I had to repaint it myself.

The original America250 plan was created a decade ago by a bi-partisan group. Trump’s Freedom250 was created in January 2025.

Even then, he had more than a year to come up with some great attractions.

If you never saw a wheel, and you made one, you invented it.

You just didn’t invent it first.

There’s a simple reason Trump acts like a cheap crook.

When he was working with the New York Mafia the real bosses kept their distance, because they knew he was a loudmouth weakling who’d never kept a secret.

Instead, they’d send low level goombahs to run him. Mooks who thought ripping off change machines at a laundry made them smart.

A Michael Corleone, or even a Tony Montana, would have extorted $50 billion out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2017.

I think it was Chris Rock who said nobody works harder than a crack addict.

Same mentality

Why do you think you hear so many ‘Leftists’ screaming Both Sides Are The Same?

Nonvoting always helps the Right, because those guys go to the polls every chance they get.

New York City, long a Dem stronghold, has implemented ranked choice voting.

MAGA 2015 = We must have Trump because the world is laughing at us!

MAGA 2026 = Who cares what the rest of the world thinks???

It doesn’t matter to his people.

They only listen to propaganda that tells them they won.

And if they failed, it was the fault of Antifa.

Quite the change.

Back in the day, African American singer Marian Anderson was denied a chance to sing at a venue the DAR controlled. First Lady Elanor Roosevelt heard about it and got Anderson permission to sing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Memphis, Tennessee has entered the chat, y’all.

On a similar note, they waited until most of the Silent Generation were long past retirement to start going after FDR.

People who’d been saved by WPA jobs, or seen the CCC creating National Parks, would have had plenty to say about Roosevelt.

He killed a million people in Covid and they re-elected him.

I’ve written this far too many times.

Bayard Rustin was a gay man who worked closely with MLK. Rustin was as important as anyone to getting the March organized. He never once pushed King to speak on gay rights, because they both knew that ‘doing the right thing’ would kill the movement.

There’s nothing noble about letting fascists win because of your ‘morality.’

So you agree? That progressives aren’t that popular in america?

There were early voting options in that election.

Mamdani was very lucky because the incumbent, Adams, got caught in a major scandal before the election.

But even running against a know sex offender and a radio DJ he only garnered 51% of the vote.

Things are different now that he’s been elected, but let’s not pretend that he was swept in by a giant Progressive wave.

Kamala Harris received 1,748,140 votes in New York City,

Zohran Mamdani received 1,036,051 votes
