Sweet!  Obviously a missed opportunity there.

Much like the current Secretary of Interior, it's also possible Ivanka would have an investigation for graft and corruption opened before she finished her first day in charge. 

Or maybe, a flashing red light that shines periodically off the building?

This is just all kinds of fucked up! 

So ... canary in a coal mine? 

I’m sure she’s disappointed him plenty every time he’s made a pass at her.

Actually, the World Bank is kind of f—ked up. Back in the good old days, in 2000, when the Pope and Bono were working on Third World debt relief, which would have been a huge step forward in North-South justice and fighting global poverty, the World Bank was coming under a bunch of scrutiny for being the primary…

I’m just wondering how I am going to curb my drinking back to tolerable levels once this is finished.  My liver will never recover from my constant drinking to dull the pain of this dumpster fire since 2016.

Right. And this shit becomes even more normalized...and then something worse happens, and pundits cry, “can he go lower”...and then he does.

Yep. I’m in the exact same boat, though I’ve got a year on you. (I was actually about to ask if you were actually me, but then I realized my clock ticked over another digit recently. It was only after a troubling amount of thinking that I could remember what my actual age is.)

I’ll be totally honest, this four-year stretch is going to live with me for the rest of my life. I’m going to harbor a lot of resentment for Trump voters. I’m only 37, so I’ve got a ways to go. But I will do my damndest to fix this shit.

I just dismissed your garbage in my comments but since you slunk out of the grays here, have some free advice.

Even all these years in, sometimes reminders of our reality just send me reeling. Yes, Eric Trump is speaking on television because his father is president.

Faux News is poison. But people are lapping it up. This is the kind of shit that preludes a fascist state and a deconstruction of democracy. We should know as a country - we’ve destabilized a lot of governments using almost the same methods. Its just ironic that its happening here and people are just as taken in by it…

A guide to the deep state:

$ talks.

Deep State, can forgive the student loans of progressives while you’re at it?

The deep state is literally whoever they need it to be. It’s the FBI when they’re investigating trump, but not when they’re investigating Hillary’s emails, it’s activist judges until those judges are activists for the right, then they’re just doing their job, it’s special counsels, until the special counsel is…

Someone define the “Deep State” to me.

There is a moment in an old Jim Carrey movie where he grabs his own ass and pretends that his butthole is talking to people.
