I wish this happened to the GOP convention.

Tampon Tim will stop the red wave.

Ok

Going down to Georgia implies that Georgia is under hell.

America is #1 in production of aircraft carriers. America is #1 in the number of incarcerated citizens per capita. America is #1 in the number of adults who think angels are real. America is #1 in defense spending.

Russia went from being the second best military in the world, to being the second best militarily in Ukraine, to being the second best military in Russia.

Democrats want your kids to go to school and be fed. Republicans want to put them to work in slaughterhouses.

Of course, it won't ever be their kids working those low-paying awful jobs, they're meant for your kids.

It's worth reading up on the group behind the recent Republican bills legalizing child labour: Foundation for Government Accountability. https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation\_for\_Government\_Accountability

They're best known as an opposition group against social welfare programs including SNAP (aka food stamps) and Medicaid. So pro child labour, anti welfare.

They state they raised $14.5 million in 2023 toward this effect. Now seriously imagine: wealthy people spending millions of dollars toward trying to keep kids from eating meals and low-income families from having a safety net.

And they're one more group tied into Heritage Foundation and Project 2025, natch. So if Trump were elected, they stand to be heard better than ever.

The USA has a rapist running for president.

Any fix on this?

Lone Star is a review.
