monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Of course, the most entertaining thing Rather ever did was to get mugged in the street outside of his apartment by some guy he claims kept uttering the now widely famous "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" Some folks thought Rather had to have made the story up, but I doubt that. It's so bizarre that it's far beyond Rather's meager creativity.

The Dems are splitting Trump and the GOP, and it's going to **** 'em up badly.

The ability for anything that's not bipartisan to pass is pretty much zero at this point thanks to Trump's actions.

Sanders nay-sayers should at least note he is strong-arming Ds to finally publicly support single payer. He's making something happen toward enabling Americans to have affordable health care.

Yeah, I know. I was hoping you'd take a shot at explaining what makes her a neocon - if you agree with that.

Trump says he wants a massive military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue on July 4

This is so disgusting. On so many levels.

You might need a bit of a history lesson, my friend. Al Qa'ida was the creation of the CIA during cold war games in Afghanistan. They've been on the payroll ever since.

Well, not everything, but those Stinger missiles, that might have been a mistake.

Gross oversimplification

How so? It's on the record, my friend.

But it's not that difficult to see how the CIA might have formed an armed resistance group and subsequently lose control over it.

This guy embarrases the helll out of me. Does he have that affect on you?

Can someone tell me what logic or political expediency or strategic advantage is served by announcing Kim Jung-Un has a suicide wish, and then mocking him with a sarcastic nickname?

That clown is a loose cannon. He's also a loner. He doesn't get the unqualified support of the party he allegedly heads, and he's an embarrassment even to those members of the party who don't openly criticize him. As Venezuela's foreign minister pointed out, he cannot even control his own government--

he certainly can't pass legislation, which is why businessmen have abandoned the effort to work with him.

On a bright note, though, the white supremacists, the Klan and the Nazis love him.

Calling gun control advocates "freedom haters," and referring to critics of Zionism and the policies of the Israeli government as antisemites are just two examples of right-wing politically correct speech.

Rightwingnuts have their own definitions of politically correct speech, they just consistently lie about it.

I am amused that Sofie Lash Goth has also just labeled herself a Trump supporter.

I suppose we should be grateful for the small mercy of that unlooked for candor on her part.

That lying, cheating, puerile ego-maniac is certainly not my president.

Donald Trump is the president of all American citizens.

Two thirds of whom detest him.

You're the one peddling delusional nonsense, not liberals.

Strong majorities have polled in favor of single[payer health care or government-backed health care, depending on how the question is posed, since the turn of this century until today.
