I'm a left-leaning political Independent in NW Iowa. I support equal rights for everyone. Capital punishment is state-sponsored murder. D0na1d J6 ✝️RUⓂ️🅿️ is a felon and a con artist. Trust him at your peril. DMs by invitation, only.

You cannot say you are against rape culture, rape, assault, stand with women and proudly comment that you’d wish a woman be rape because she made similarly awful comments on rape… this puts one squarely on her side and not ours. #ThePoet www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

When taking sides turns problematic

Yesterday, someone commented on an entry about Megyn Kelly’s comments *not my entry another thread* that she should be assaulted also… a couple of people liked that comment. I reported it.

My opinion: Lucky man! Another example of Russians targeting civilian areas. D0na1d ✝️RUⓂ️🅿️ is a friend of Vladimir Putin. D0na1d buys diesel fuel from the Russians. D0na1d says Ukraine should surrender to the Russians. What's wrong with D0na1d? The Guardian apple.news/Ay7kQWJ30QFe...

Well, my wife and I each received a $90.00 deposit into our checking account, from the U.S. Treasurer. It's an effort by D0na1d to bribe us to vote Republican. "FAT CHANCE"! We sent the money to the Gospel Mission in Sioux City, to help the downtrodden and the homeless. Impeach ✝️RUⓂ️🅿️!

My opinion: The Crybaby-in-Chief, of the U.S.A., is the most dangerous human being on the planet. Giving him control of our nuclear arsenal is like giving a loaded semi automatic handgun to a three year old child at a birthday party. The Guardian apple.news/Ay0UwGynyRFm...

My opinion: D0na1d does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, he has never deserved one, and never will. Has anyone ever lobbied for a Nobel Peace Prize, as D0na1d has? D0na1d is a crybaby. "Boo hoo, little boy." USA TODAY apple.news/ABlXnKbsjRH2...

My opinion: D0na1d hates black people, women, and people who refuse to do his bidding. Therefore, Ms. Cook has three strikes against her, she's black, she's female, and she doesn't take orders from our fascist "president." NBC News apple.news/AjxglItVTQi2...

My opinion: This is bu11sh!t, as is most of Nicole Russell's opinion pieces. There is no reason Democrats can't address the affordability crisis, while simultaneously impeaching our cr00ked "president." I'm for doing both. USA TODAY apple.news/AsYtPlcNHQGS...

Democrats are running on affordability. But the would-be committee chairs are talking about subpoenas, not grocery prices.

My opinion: As a political party, Republicans admire and support rapists, pedophiles, sexual deviants of all kinds, racists, white nationalists, evangelical Christians, and misogynists. There is really only one explanation for that, isn't that true? The Bulwark apple.news/AhWpCPQp0SAu...
