I actually had a thought the other day. It really does seem that Trump is exhibiting signs of dementia. Do you think that the GOP is hoping that they can delay any sort of investigation resulting in trial to the point that he will be fully mentally incompetent. Hence no way to testify.

I think it’s impossible to predict anything about Sunkist Hitler because his narcissism makes him so unpredictable. But yes, there will be a massive meltdown and I’m hoping when he loses it good, that he doesn’t take out most of the eastern seaboard.
I’m going to agree, but also go with giving credit where credit is due. She objected and that’s like a bazillion times more than I expected from her in the first place.
What did you expect? She only has this job to support herself and her family.
And Ms. DeVos, faced with the choice of resigning or defying the president, has agreed to go along.
Actually, the Jewish and Muslim communities in the US get along just great. Which is why they live side by side in many instances- no, it’s not just coincidental.
I think it’s important to note, too, that (at least when I donated), the default donation was $10. It was just pre-filled in to the donation amount box, although of course you could change it. In terms of behavioral economics, that sets a bar for expected donation— and a rather low bar— so, in that context, the amount…
Actual tears streaming down my face crying over this support from the Muslim community to the Jewish community. I’ve been calling for my fellow Jews to stand up and support our Muslim brothers and sisters against Islamophobia. Our two groups have a ridiculous amount in common and we should be standing side-by-side.…
man, sometimes you forget how awesome america is when it’s working!
It’s wonderful but also sad that they probably feel they have to do this in order to break through walls that never should have been there in the first place.

I totally agree with you; I’d just like to point out that it hasn’t been the last few hundred years! That was Jewish history in Europe — and a devastating history it has been. The enmity between Muslims and Jews has largely been a product of the founding of Israel in 1948, and the expulsion of the Palestinians from…
If there’s a silver lining, this is it.
It’s really one of the most heartening bonds I have witnessed.
Their goal was to raise $20k in a month; it took three hours. That was pretty incredible. They’re saying any future funds raised will be donated to Jewish charities to deal with any other potential events. A wonderful, open gesture of caring from one threatened community to another.
Speaking to the Post, El-Messidi said “This is really a human issue. But out of this horrible election cycle, something beautiful has come out of it and [Muslims and Jews have] bonded together to support each other and stand up to this hate. Politics can get in the way of our basic humanity; I hope this breaks through…
Good on them. Solidarity is called for in all of America, and if two groups who have found differences in the past (few hundred years) and set them aside to counter Trump, then it sets an example of all of us.
This is a reality in most states, now.
VA redistricting is so shit that Democrats routinely get the majority of the vote in an election year yet our House is 66-34 in favor of Republicans. (edit: obviously the reason it’s this bad is that Republicans had control over the last two redistricting sessions and boy howdy did they do a fucking number on the…
In other good news, Good Governor Terry Mac in VA vetoed a bill to defund Panned Parenthood in the Commonwealth.
