Oh thank you! What a genius:
“I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree…
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.”

Of course they should cover the LA story. But their Pavlovian response whenever he dangles bait is sooo frustrating. There’s still a horrible ugly bill that cuts Medicaid and essential human services. Get back to that please! Don’t let them pass it while nobody’s watching.

Quite literally, trumped up charges.

They just can’t admit a mistake. What a bunch of juveniles. And even if there’s a scintilla of truth here, how can anyone ever believe anything they say?

Yes, but yesterday’s “tomb of the unknown podiatrist” was pretty great, too.

The fact that this person is a senior government official is the most obvious and embarrassing sign that our country is in decline.
She couldn’t pass a basic citizenship test.
Also: she kills puppies.
Ugh.

I suppose you could do your own research. And then you’d be an expert!
The smartest people know they don’t know everything.

And please note that the media coverage - both TV and print— fails us yet again by breathlessly reporting the headline about the agreement in the “trade war” without any mention of the fact that the whole thing is a “problem” concocted in the windmills of his mind.

Who are the people who do this job? Are they trained to do it as brutally as possible? The illegal orders can’t prevail if decent human beings refuse to carry them out.

This is so true. I want to share this, but need attribution — who wrote this, please?

We don’t have a president anymore. We have a self-obsessed, demented, lumpy clumpy schlump.

And just let this take hold, because we’ve grown used to the whining: This is the President of the United States. Did you ever expect to read or hear such crass, self-obsessed nonsense from the holder of this exalted office?
He cheapens and degrades EVERYthing. He embarrasses us on the world stage.
