Day in and day out he retweets Nazi accounts. We are at a place now where no one cares, at least no one in power - the media, the Republicans. The judges who do care are probably going to be ignored as the new GOP line is that judges don't matter. 

The rich are thriving and the rest of us are left in the sewers.

But at least John Oliver and Jon Stewart can have a big dopey grin yuk yuk about how America is now a monarchy.

Users of Google Maps in the US would see the name of the Gulf of Mexico changed to the "Gulf of America".

fyi: timeanddate.com can be configured to show every religious and secular holiday and observance in every country.

"'Hope,' St. Augustine said, 'has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.' In her timely book, Bishop Mariann Budde offers hard-learned, excellent guidelines for helping not just individuals but congregations and communities learn about bravery and courage, especially in times of polarization and transition." -- The Rev. Dr. Nancy Jo Kemper, Kentucky Council of Churches

I just read the orange man's love ode to Putin... and his invitation to come and visit USA. Wow... he is really fangirling at this point... for his role model and idol. 

It would be funny if it wasn't so PATHETIC.

My mother is 90 years old... imagine the culture shock. She grew up during FDR and Harry Truman. It amazes me how many older people are brainwashed by Fox news. I hear account after account from people who say they don't recognize their own parents anymore. People who used to be just reasonable centrist Republicans. My mother is the same centrist Democrat she was 50 years ago, and I think it's mainly because doens't have cable TV... her news has been coming from Norah O'Donnell on CBS and PBS newshour. 

Pete Buttigieg. 100%

This statement is 1,000% TRUE.
