I thought our president was supposed to support upholding our laws? Trumped has really trumped our country. As a result, the rulings that the GOP hopes to attain will not really be viewed as legitimate by the majority of the population. Something needs to be done before this unqualified disaster of a president creates a situation this country can't recover from. We're already the laughing stock of the world.Well, I am American. It is inherent in my identity as an American and inherent in my membership to the modern world that it is only rational devotion to the rule of law that will separate us from brutal revenge as an acceptable resolution of injustices. Not voicing moral indignation of this man's words is tantamount to guiding our society to a state which is only degrees away from the kinds of 'criminal justice' that we witness implemented in Myanmar and the Philippines and Saudi Arabia and China.

Democrats will succeed when Americans retake congress.

Democrats will succeed when Americans retake congress. That includes all of the shadow Dems that are part of Unions... Just keep putting your country first and vote for your freedom! The authority of any court is partly based on the public's perception of it's legitimacy. The GOP has made the critical error of undermining legitimacy (using Congressional rules of order to block Obama's Constitutional power to appoint judges) in order to pack the courts with conservatives under Trump. As a result, the rulings that the GOP hopes to attain will not really be viewed as legitimate by the majority of the population.

Trump orders expulsion of dozens of Russian diplomats.....

The last Republican to take personal responsibility for his own mistakes was Eisenhower, when he warned Americans about the military industrial complex in the last days of his administration. Trump cries more than any President in history. Everything that happens is somebody else's fault, nobody loves him, fake news, CNN, anything but take responsibility for any action or lack thereof. But, what really keeps me up at night is knowing that diplomacy has kept us out of more military conflicts than a show of force and tough talk….and there may be no qualified personnel to answer the phone at our embassies at the most critical junctures.

Gateway Pundit is a liar's paradise

This is really about a lot more than just one mass shooting. What it's really about is today's extremist right embracing the tactics of dictators, communists and nazis to further their own ends and they're actively doing it with the help of our enemies and in some cases, asking our enemies for their help.
Gateway Pundit is a liar's paradise as that's pretty much all they do except shill for racists. They and some others threw this crap out there and then Fox News people like Tucker Carlson and Greg Gutfeld ran with it.
This is lower than low and it shows you how uncivilized these people are. Those kids who went through that trauma don't deserve this and neither does the country. It's gone from bs "thoughts and prayers" to traumatizing kids who've already been traumatized enough thanks to the very people doing it.
Today's right has proven they'll lie about anything no matter what the consequences or what common decency dictates. From this to embracing our enemies to the point where you have Devin Nunes this morning asking for Russian twitter bots to help him, they're a disgrace to this country...
The Republicans are just a collection of fringe groups banded together by a common paranoia that the right wing media feeds them.The right in this country is not conservative, far from it. It's become doctrinarian and authoritarian in nature. Everything is shaped, including the facts by ideology. The lemming-like willingness of so many Republicans today to obediently follow the ranting right fringe of their party is not only remarkable and frightening... it's downright disgusting. Their hateful hypocrisy knows no bounds, no limits on name-calling rhetoric, and no decency or willingness to accept responsibility for things they've enthusiastically promoted in the recent past, (such as gun rights).

How do you sell more Big Macs?

There is this notion, perpetuated by Republicans, that the wealthy create jobs, so tax cuts for the wealthy will lead to more jobs being created.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. The wealthy cannot create jobs in a vacuum. The laws of supply and demand drive job creation. You can't just increase supply and expect that demand will somehow materialize for your goods and services.

But the reverse is true. When you cause demand to go up, entrepreneurs will find ways to produce goods and services to meet the demand, creating jobs and gaining wealth in the process.

So to spur job creation you have to increase demand for goods and services.

How do you increase demand? Demand for goods and services go up when the poor and the middle-class have more money to spend. So to increase demand, cut taxes on the poor and middle-class and raise minimum wages. When demand goes up entrepreneurs will meet the demand by increasing supply, hiring more employees to produce more. This is what creates jobs, not tax cuts for the wealthy!

Here's an example: Consider your local McDonalds franchise. If thanks to tax cuts for the wealthy, the franchisee has an extra $50K per year, is he going to make and sell extra Big Macs with that money? Of course not. The number of Big Macs he makes depends on how many people walk in the door of his restaurant. Given that he wasn't turning away any customers to begin with, he can't make more Big Macs unless more customers walk in the door. So the question is, how do you get more customers to walk in the door. The answer is, by giving tax cuts to the middle class and the poor. When they have more discretionary income they buy more Big Macs. Thus, the way to grow the economy is by giving tax cuts to the middle class and the poor, not the wealthy!

Make America Great Again.?

Make America Great Again. Attack public schools, then put in place in the seat of the Secretary of education a person who never attended a public school, nor their children. End tax breaks to college students and college grads. They are so wealthy they have to eat instant noodles as meals, so tax them more. Now lets throw the elderly and sick in the street. Make America Great Again, must be code words for turning America into a lesser developed nation like Afghanistan.

Donald J. Trump pronounced the planet Earth a “loser”!

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a dramatic announcement from the White House Rose Garden on Thursday,

Donald J. Trump pronounced the planet Earth a “loser” and vowed to make a better deal with a new planet.

“Earth is a terrible, very bad planet,” he told the White House press corps. “It’s maybe the worst planet in the solar system, and it’s far from the biggest.”

Trump blasted former President Barack Obama for signing deals that committed the United States to remain on the planet Earth indefinitely. “Obama is almost as big a loser as Earth,” Trump said. “If Obama was a planet, guess what planet he’d be? That’s right: Earth.”

When asked which planet he would make a new deal with, Trump offered few specifics, saying only, “The solar system has millions of terrific planets, and they’re all better than Earth, which is a sick, failing loser.”

Trump’s remarks drew a strong response from one of the United States’ NATO allies, Germany’s Angela Merkel. “I strongly support Donald Trump leaving the planet Earth,” she said.
