Where are all the great Constitutional Conservatives when a former president wants to terminate the Constitution in order to continue his Big Lie?

Trickle down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Back in 2019, just before Thanksgiving, when Trump was asked what he is most thankful for, he said he was most thankful for himself.
Thinking about that ludicrous response makes me especially thankful today, that Joe Biden is our president.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Wouldn't it be nice if pro-lifers focused on abolishing the death penalty? Or combating the opioid epidemic? Or fighting poverty?
You know, things that would actually save lives?

It is utter nonsense to suggest that progressives have gone too far left.
Paid leave. Childcare. Universal pre-K. Medicare expansion. Lower drug prices. Climate action. It’s all hugely popular.
Poll after poll shows these measures are supported by 75% to 88% of Americans.

Military resistance to Covid vaccine is not heroism. It’s disobeying direct orders.
Military gets vaccinated against many diseases… you know this when you sign up.

Yesterday I was heartbroken to share the deaths of several Kentuckians in their 20s. These kids had their entire lives ahead of them and now they are gone too soon because of COVID. This virus is taking people younger and younger. Please, we need this age group to get vaccinated.

Those who claim vax mandates are “unconstitutional” should read the 1905 Supreme Court ruling in Jacobson v Mass, upholding state vax mandates for smallpox: “Real liberty for all could not exist” if someone was allowed to act “regardless of the injury that may be done to others.”
