Has anyone in Trumplandia / MAGA seen "Children of Men", one of the best dystopian movies ever? Is that the anti-foreigner, anti-immigrant type of society they are going for?? And they think this would be a good thing???

I ran into the fortune-teller, who said beware of lightning that might strike I haven’t known peace and quiet for so long I can’t remember what it’s like... You didn’t know it, you didn’t think it could be done, in the final end he won the wars After losin’ every battle... #IdiotWind

Today is the 50th anniversary of the release of Blood on the Tracks, my favorite Dylan album and I think one of the best albums ever. Timeless. I think I bought this album in '76, and it still sounds great. #BobDylan

Trump's comeback is the result of a collapse and failure by every major institution, the reporter wrote. "This is all happening because everyone — every one — who was supposed to protect the American people from this failed in the most miserable, unforgivable ways"

Feeling nothing but delightful schadenfreude for the thousands of racists, misogynists, traitors, and morons who spent big bucks to go to DC from hillbilly hollers all over the country, only to be told they will have to watch his fascist coronation on TV. #Inauguration
