I've been on Daily Kos for years. Old time liberal from Chicago.

Please spare us the Republican Party’s fake outrage about Biden's spending.

The Trump tax cuts cost roughly $2 trillion alone.

When billionaires and corporations are getting a handout, the GOP couldn’t care less about the national debt.

I was quoted in this Washington Post article about my favorite comic strip, Dilbert.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/comics/2023/03/06/scott-adams-dilbert-cartoon-controversy/

The age of gaslighting is incandescent, and will be long remembered for the vast damage it has done to the United States. The result has been the obliteration of trust between the American people and nearly every conceivable institution of consequence in the country. The collapse has been particularly devastating for America’s media, political and corporate elites who are held in particular contempt.
