That’s really disgusting. Worse, in that article I see that the White House defended it saying they were warned. What a horrible attempt to repress dissent. Trump sure is making America great again.
Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner want to outsource the war in Afghanistan to Blackwater mercenaries. Blackwater, by the way, is run by Betsy DeVos’s brother.
Congressman Ted Lieu (who I really wish would run for Dianne Feinstein’s seat in the Senate) has sent a letter to the Alabama Bar Association listing Jeff Sessions’s legal violations.
And they’re not even original about it. Their fall guy, naturally (in their twisted little so-called minds), has to be a Black man.
Well, it’s not like he’s actually an American.
who’s existence?
Welll… at least her particular form of quackery doesn’t kill people.

Her particular form of quackery is something she could turn a profit on. How’s anybody supposed to make money by not vaccinating kids?
Nicaea what you did there.
By George, he’s got it!
That is the STUPIDEST thing I’ve read in a long, long time.
I’ve found Brooks to be annoying in the past but after reading that, at least for right now, I hate him with the heat of ten thousand suns. Fucking arrogant tool.
Pretty damn perfect.

I’m ten paragraphs in and so far he’s writing some really excellent (and non partisan) points.
Do upper class people’s kids dominate university admissions, at least in large part due to factors not related to their actual smarts? Yup, that’s true. Is it a problem? Yes.
Do rich people manipulate zoning laws to keep poor people away from them? They absolutely do.
His last three paragraphs are not as easily proven to be true, but, come on, there’s SOME truth there. Actual conversation I had once at a party in Toronto:
Upper Class Privileged White Filmmaking Guy: So how do you know (hosts)?
Me: I’m (Hostess’s name) brother in law.
UCPWFG: Oh! Where do you live?
Me: Oakville. (Suburban city outside Toronto)
UCPWFG: Oh, so, you have no culture?
Me: I’m sorry?
UCPWFG: You must live without any culture, you know. Being out there.
Me: (waits for him to complete joke)
UCPWFG: (was not joking.) Do you know about foreign films?
Me: They have films in other countries? Gosh, would those be at one of those lie-brair-ee things?
This really happened.
Okay, so maybe funnmy sounding sandwich meats isn’t the issue. But the division between upper class and lower is an issue, and a lot of liberals boo Trump while cheerfully seeing to it the minorities stay in their own schools, and let’s not pretend that doesn’t happen.
This isn’t a “Both sides do it” thing. Liberals are not the ones who listen to reality-denying news sources and “Christian” radio stations that preach hatred. But the class division is a real thing.
Yeah, I’m slightly left of center, and I find his column to be fairly accurate.
Trump calls for transparent wall, so that we can see people who throw sacks of heroin over the wall.
I wonder if he plans on building the wall through downtown El Paso or something, where passing pedestrians might be in danger of flying drugs.
Has he considered that this might attract hordes of drug addicts who will loiter along the approximately 2,000-mile border wall just waiting for sacks of drugs to come flying over? Hmmm?? Sure, out in the hundreds upon hundreds of miles of desert this will be no problem, as they’ll probably die of thirst or heat stroke, but what about the loiterers in downtown El Paso and Laredo. They’ll create a huge traffic jam, lying around in drug-induced stupors. But noooo, Trump never thinks ahead to the consequences of his ideas and pronouncements.
Trump is such an idiot. They’re not going to be heaving 60 lb bags of drugs over a 15 foot wall.
They will be 25 kilo bags.
Typical of most (virtually all?) modern Republicans.
I’ve heard that two builders have offered to build Emperor Donald a low-cost wall that is so transparent it will be invisible to all those who are unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent. They displayed to Emperor Donald a scale model of how it would look, made out of the actual super hi-tech material they would be using to build it. “I love it! It’s beautiful!”, proclaimed the Emperor.
