Dear Democratic Leaders : Whichever of you, that sits down to negotiate with a nazi, becomes a nazi sympathizer. You are complicit in this nazi regime. Nazis are to be defeated. Not tolerated. We don't negotiate with terrorists or nazis. Stop betraying us or face the wrath of your constituents.

Incredible from Bishop Budde: "We don't have to go to the highest extremes of contempt when we are in a position of disagreement. I think if we could get that back as a country, we would go a long way in being able to work together to address the many problems that we face." ~AA @maddow.msnbc.com

Kay Granger, a still sitting Republican Congresswoman, has been missing votes in DC because she's been living in a nursing home for the past six months, and none of her colleagues said a damn thing. But they were out there saying Biden was “mentally unfit.” Are you f’ng kidding me?

Brutal chart from the Financial Times. While larger companies have managed to adapt to new Brexit trading barriers (Marks and Spencer opened a warehouse just for post-Brexit paperwork) smaller companies have been hit incredibly hard. And this is BEFORE GPSR came into effect.
