I Believe... [Most Are NOT Outraged]

...that the unwritten purpose of most media today is to make you think that the views of 17 percent of the country are actually the views of 83 percent of the country. The media doesn’t want you informed, they want you outraged. You being informed doesn’t make them rich. You being outraged does.

I Believe... [Dems Need a Press Agent]

...that Democrats have, in a year, cut child poverty in half, added 5.3 million jobs, managed the most ambitious vaccine rollout in the nation’s history, and passed a $1.2 trillion investment in the water, roads, bridges and broadband. Lead with that, piss ants.

No One is Teaching Critical Race Theory in Public Schools

Are public school teachers teaching children the complexities of systemic racism to children unable to critically parse things out or more thoroughly teaching about our country's racist past?

Comedy is Not Harder, It's Just as Hard as It Ever Was
