Now we don't just have judges anymore. We have a 'Reagan judge', 'Clinton judge', 'Bush judge', 'Trump judge'. Holy cow. This country is being cut into a million little pieces. The main problem is the current president, who is determined to divide us.

Modern-day Fox News Republicans: Please tell me more about how a free-market works and how Trump is your champion for laissez-faire economics.

They can be corrupt as long as they reinvest some of the money they earn into media channels and a network of sycophants that help pacify the public.

As a new generation rolls into the workforce I am hearing about a high degree of narcissism, impatience with process, and inability to focus on performing routine tasks. To be certain, this tendency is not limited to just younger folks, but it is especially acute for those raised on social media.

This regime is feeling rather 'Year Zero' in its vision. See you in the reeducation centers...or in the ditch!

Gift Article. This crime was top-line news for a few hours. It will soon evaporate from our collective memory as we become distracted by something else. These things used to destroy political careers.

Trump is a master at deceiving the chronically gullible.

Many people need to rediscover their basic sense right and wrong before we all descend into a true horror show. Fox News has been breeding selfishness, anger, ridicule, and hostility towards our neighbors for years. Those things are not good. The president is not good. Find the good again!

Many Americans hate communism, but they base that hate on fears of authoritarian control. Now that we have an authoritarian trying to control their lives...where is the anger? Did people really hate communism because it inspired public education?

Trump's hacking of the American mind was simple. Talk and imagine the world like a fearful 4th grader might. That's it. Hacked.

American evangelicals. Possibly the least Christian "Christian" group of people in the history of the faith.

I'm ready for government to be boring, thoughtful, and effective again. If I want entertaining chaos, I'll visit an amusement part for an afternoon. I don't want to live in one.

I believe the minds of huge swaths of the US electorate are lost somewhere in the Twilight Zone. The portal is Fox News.

What the heck is going on in Texas? Is it now a Christian Theocracy? WTF?

US corporate media is largely on board with softening and normalizing the regime. Journalism is now a marginal vocation. Propaganda is what pays.

The budget bill will pass after some Republicans do a little opposition theater for appearances. There are already insignificant throw-away concessions written in to help with the upcoming dramatic production. It will pass with, suspiciously, just enough votes. Does anyone want to bet otherwise?

Being a selfish, greedy jerk with no sense of social responsibility is OVER! It's OVER!

Saving our country over the long haul requires that we all quit suffering fools and rewarding a-holes with attention and acclaim.

What will you tell people you did when your country needed you most? Your contributions on a social media platform are likely not worth a damn. Get outside and do some good trouble.

Gift Article. I'm posting it because it has some so-called leftists up in arms. Neither this article nor the author should elicit emotive pearl-clutching. If you can't read this without getting upset, then you might be more prone towards dogma than the joys and challenges of free thinking. Enjoy!

'The left' can be tone deaf, unfair, and prone to poor form. Still, our primary problems are coming from 'the right'. But Jamelle misrepredents what Pinker said. Pinker makes some fair points, but rather than challenging Pinker on those points, the poster creates a straw man. Poor form. Not good.

Got to hand it to Putin. Helping install Trump was quite a fruitful gambit. Sucks to be us.

Intentionally watching Fox News is a form of unintentional self-harm.

The GOP has given up on the idea of the United States.

Judge blocks the regime's attack on higher education in less than 24 hours. The judicial system needs to have someone on call 24/7 so his bogus decrees can not even get a single news cycle of respect.

Has there ever been a president more ignorant of basic economic concepts? Answer: No, there hasn't. He is the one so many people thought would be 'good for business'. He represents the party many people thought was better at running an economy. 'Many people' have their heads on backwards.

He is ruining everything 'great' about the USA.

They should have first received due process in a public trial. Maybe the same punishment? Or not? But I'm a fan of due process whenever possible.

According to the US president, being able to tell when a picture is obviously photoshopped is another example of being "woke". He hates that.

I was thinking Trump was acting kind of racist, but then I remembered he said he was the least racist person in the world.
