I saw a lot of ridiculous comments online after Lewis’s testimony at Sessions’s hearing. Mostly people saying stuff like “who is this loser?” It brought home for me how necessary Sessions’s testimony really was. I had been sitting there thinking “why doesn’t he make a direct point about Sessions instead of just…

Same here. My wife and I talked about this last night. I will continue to refer to him as Cheeto Mussolini. My wife (who is a grown up, unlike me) will simply refer to him as Trump. Neither of us will call him president, because he is not being inaugurated on Jan. 21; he’s being installed. There’s a big difference.

i don’t believe that trump is a highly trained anything.

“On January 20th, I will not be celebrating or honoring an incoming president who rode racism, sexism, xenophobia and bigotry to the White House,” Rep.

This type of reporting is just downright irresponsible.
