Cleanliness is the foundation, principles are the boundaries. Reject all cryptocurrencies (No Crypto), stay away from scams, stay away from contraband. This is a space for sharing everyday life, seeking friends who also value the real world.

Cesar Sayoc, a Trump super fan & obsessive Fox viewer, sent pipe bombs in 2018 to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, & many other top Dems. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In the wake of the attacks, Trump said about his rhetoric: "Tone down, no. Could tone up."

Republicans want an astonishing, debt-exploding $1.5 trillion military budget, more for ICE, billions to bail out failing airlines, and $400 million for Trump’s ballroom. They are looting the treasury and fleecing taxpayers to pay for Trump’s endless wars and vanity projects.

Republicans are also working on another bailout for farmers from taxpayers after Trump screwed them over again with tariffs and increased costs caused by his war. We all have to pay Trump voters (mostly) for Trump’s failed policies while they continue to vote Republican.

He never had the money to pay for the ballroom. It was always a scam. We were always going to have to pay for it. They were just waiting for the right moment to hit us with the bill. This is now the time.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
