Wake up people!!!

"When did America become so dumb?"
Spoiler: We always were. But the internet allowed us to show everyone just how dumb we truly are as a country.

When you set up a system where money has more power than truth, this is what happens.

And it all starts with the Fundamentalist Christian GRIFT.

It seems the bigger threat is ignorance and willingness to believe what anyone says without confirmation. We live in a world filled with con men.

Denial of reality has always been preferable to actually dealing with truth, especially when truth scares the krap out of people!! Much easier to peddle lies when in a deadly pandemic.. 😞

Donovan captured the sentiment of morons best in one of his songs, decades ago: "Let me not hear facts, figures and logic
fain would I hear lore, legends and magic." (The word 'fain', by the way, means 'gladly, or with pleasure'.) His lyrics sum up the New Fascist Party (formerly the GOP) perfectly.

Honestly US, what did you espect by avoiding to give ALL Americans a proper education ???.

[bonniehall]

I agree, when did truth become so unimportant? When did people get so angry?

I love the great Reverend Al Sharpton. He is quite a character, and a rather enjoyable face and voice in reporting and journalism. Just like most of us, he has had a shady past and many struggles. He has also shared the same epiphany of life when one realizes his/her own self to be good in nature, and makes a choice to live as such.
Hats off to Reverend Sharpton.

Thanks for making it plain. It seems like some people would rather fall off the cliff rather than acknowledge the truth and save democracy. Deep dodo, thanks Mrs Nicole you're on it. kudos
Thank you Mr. Robinson, Rev Sharpton and Clint Watts. Shalom

Britain has gone bonkers with Brexit; the States have gone insane with Trump.

Create a new party that is center left. Start with Bernie. Drop the republicans

[janetstonerook]

My 12 y.o. grandson watching the Capitol Insurrection January 6th said "I bet the rest of the World thinks we're really stupid!" I agree. We must turn this around. The Republican Party can't continue to exist if it continues to disregard the welfare of the Nation as a whole.

Our educational system has been undermined for decades.

[glentorn]

Thank you, Rev. Al.
United we stand...

What country do you know of that would chant "let's hang the 2nd in charge" But the number 1 in command does absolutely nothing but just watch. 😂. Unbelievable!
