Again, gee, can't imagine why. However, we'll see in the next elections they go ahead and elect the same morons again. Come on #gringos, time to put up or shut up.
Poll, so as usual, caveats may apply.

And yet #gringos keep voting and sending the same #assholes back to Congress again and again.
As usual, poll, so caveats may apply.

> Virginia voters narrowly approve gerrymandered congressional maps – boosting Dem chances of retaking the House https://nypost.com/2026/04/21/us-news/virginia-voters-approve-gerrymandered-congressional-maps/
Somewhat amused at how NY Post makes this sound like a fucking scandal, but when #GOP #PartyOfStupid does it, it's brilliant political move.
Yes, both parties DO gerrymander actively when they can.

In the criminal racket that is #HealthCare insurance in the U.S. At one point, my doc suggested putting me on one of these (I am a bit chubby); I declined and I keep exercising. Part of the reason was I knew this #fuckery was possible.

Mentions Catholics but doesn't specify. I mean, Catholics can go to any Catholic parish. Mass is mass no matter where. Growing up, we went to whichever church had mass at a convenient time. We did not however dare go to any other denomination's place.
As for Protestants, I can see that. My inlaws, for ex., pretty much went to wherever they liked the minister.

Apparently Trump ordered to use nuclear bombs on Iran but the military leader refused.
It explains #Trump's unilateral ceasefire. Trump and Hegseth need time to fire snd replace everyone stood up to them in the military.
> Retail sales up 1.7% in March from February driven by a spike in gas prices
https://abcnews.com/Business/wireStory/retail-sales-17-march-february-driven-spike-gas-132234423
Bit misleading. It is not that people suddenly spent more on "retail" and shopping. It's that gas got fucking expensive and people are paying more for the same gas they still have to get.

This should come as no surprise to anyone.
Need to summon the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt and his big stick.

On side note, I was at some store yesterday where they sell gift cards for various things and places, and yes, there are gift cards for those online betting places. So now you can buy one, put some money in it, and enable someone's #gambling problem. Yay!
