I guess that "I don't really care do u" jacket was as much a message to her husband as to the dying kids. 

 

Who was the last First Lady to be as utterly worthless and callous as she is anyway? How far back does it go?

Based on the limited amount of knowledge I have about US Presidents and First Ladies, I would dare say this is unprecedented, much like Trump’s presidency really.

The good thing about that piece is that it completely abolishes the idea that Melania is some kind of victim. Nope. That lobotomized blowup doll is every bit as vicious, soulless, and corrupt as her dirtbag husband.

I knew it!  I knew that was the reason it took her behind so long to move her behind into the White House!  She was likely also still shagging the Tiffany security guy. The fact will also remain that Trump has to pay women to be with him, ring or no ring.

 

 

Trump gatherings are like Klan rallies anyway, might as well make it official.

And he did the latter on the anniversary of the Pulse shootings in Tampa. 

 

He must have some old Reagan people working for him as I think Reagan did a lot of this [!@#$%^&*] early on. I'd love to say it won't work, but I'm not going to assume anything about this country.

Maybe we can hope he's driving away independents. IDK,  it astonishes me that there is anyone who doesn't know where they stand at this point, but supposedly they exist.

I'm sorry. NONE of that is coincidence. First he wants to do a rally at the site of a black massarce, and then he does plan to do a second attempt at one at another place of racist history and now he got a law that aims at Trans on the anniversary of a shooting at a gay club.

 

He is seen. And he really is picking the wrong fight.

More on the Kentucky Senate Dem primary. 

 

It's hard to imagine either of them beating McConnell so I mostly just wonder who will drive more turnout in November to help downballot. 

Normally I would say the main party has better instincts than Bernie and friends, but I've been wary about Amy McGrath ever since that Kavanaugh flub, and many in the state party also seem wary of her.

"Booker has been endorsed by Bernie Sanders...."

 

That's all I needed to read. He's just there to mess [!@#$%^&*] up.

He has Stephen Miller.  And if anyone would have a page a day discrimination reminder calendar with 365 pages of trolling marginalized people on their desk it’s that scumbag.

There is some weird-ass primary going on in Virginia at the moment, with a "libertarian" first-term Republican likely to be defeated by a more traditional hatemonger. The primary itself is completely baffling and anti-democratic. This is a district that, with the right circumstances, could go blue this year - I guess we'll see. Anyway, the primary itself was a complete trainwreck.

How truly pathetic to see all the hype about various racist reactionaries with nothing to live for but faux-pride going out in the streets to "protect" the Alamo from something that isn't even happening, just social media lies and rumors. Even worse is Jeb Bush's wizened son, who has no career in the GOP no matter how much of Trump's fat ass is on display for his lips, doing this "Don't Mess with the Alamo" posturing when the same people he's pretending to give a damn about would not spit on him if he were on fire.

The are going to try to remove the confederate flag from tv shows.

Dukes of Hazzard is going to be one of many.
