Still mostly offline, but I wanted to flag this. The United States depends on a perpetual underclass. I'm not arguing this is good, I am saying it as a statement of fact. What Trump has successfully done is blame that underclass for all of our ills. These are homes that are not going to get built

Donald Trump got scathing rulings across three different judges blocking his unconstitutional Executive Orders against big law firms. The WSJ Editorial Board tells him to just drop it already. I'm sure he'll say it is fake news, or Marxist, or radical. Thin-skinned. www.wsj.com/opinion/rich...

Phang: Pardons and commutations—this is not something that should be driven by political motivations. Does it happen here and there? Of course it does. But is it ever this brazen, this grifty, like it is under Donald Trump? This pardon-palooza is a Trump specialty. It’s disgusting.
