But not just break the law. They were creating what in their minds was a CRISIS to both punish their enemies and get their policies enacted. This is a very troubling escalation.

I could not have said it better. This feels like an extremely troubling and dangerous escalation.

Using suffering people in your ploy is one thing but what scares the shit out of me is that this president and members of his administration actually tried to create what they thought would be a crisis to push through their policy agenda. A CRISIS! It is only their incompetence that saved us from creating an actual…

The thing that scares me about all of this is that they actively tried to create a crisis to push through their policy agenda. Granted, they are so inept that the “crisis” they sought to create would hardly have registered but they actively tried to create one. Let that sink in for a moment. The leaders of our…

Loughlin and her husband now face 40 years in prison along with a $750,000 fine for their role.

I have no idea what to do with myself after seeing those pictures. They are that amazing!

Tom Ferrall looks exactly how I expected him to look.

I read “Amy Schumer” and I knew I knew the name but I couldn’t place it. Normally, I would have been able to place it but inserting her name in a political context threw my brain for a loop rendering me unable to attach the name to a face. What an odd fucking context for her name to appear.

Joke’s on you. She was a judge DURING those crimes! LOL

It is interesting that he is caught the day after the premier of the PBS series “Reconstruction: America After the Civil War.” The series opens with the dylann roof shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Carolina. The show explicitly links that shooting (and other acts of white terrorism)…

Ok folks who thought it was ok to abstain from voting in 2016. . . this is what you (and, unfortunately, the rest of us) get.
