Wish I could help. I was up half the night watching livestream of the Dakota Access protest, and now dealing with some pro-corporate person mansplaining that I didn’t see what I saw. The fascists have taken over, the media is abdicating its duty, and people are deluding themselves with comfortable lies.

You’re right. Obama had let a bunch of people go, and was tweeting up a storm on slights (real and imagined) leading up to when he announced a bunch of appointments in December.

I thought she was Goebbels Mk. II from the first time she opened her mouth, and I thought, “Naah, that can’t possibly be real.” I HATE turning out to be right!

This. This is the scary part. This is more than just his silly beef with Broadway. This is concerted. Not to be a conspiracy guy but don’t you think someone in Trump’s braintrust knew exactly the reaction Pence would get?

How many positions are yet to be filled, but he’s tweeting and waiting for people to show up and kiss the ring??? Didn’t he just tweet last week that only he knows who the ‘finalists’ are, like it’s some sort of, oh, I don’t know, REALITY SHOW??

Guess which one is the real muppet.

Yes. Who’s to say that the President of the United States can’t exhibit a dangerous tendency towards government censorship?

“He has over 25 million followers on Facebook and Twitter and it’s a great way for him to take his message directly to people, cut through the noise or the silence, whatever the case may be,”

After Mary Todd threw all the china at the wall he changed his relationship status to it’s complicated.
