He played a heavy much more than I realized, having gotten to know him in his 1970s comedy era.

Yes, that's what struck me, that they still believed in the "caravan" baloney. That was, like, a dozen years ago that Fox News started that. At least the one person said they felt "bamboozled," which takes a lot to admit. But that doesn't help us now.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

I do appreciate the story, frustrating as it is. May her compassion grow to include those not wearing bunny hats.

This is not true. All of the evidence from videos and eyewitnesses show the booing started when Vance appeared on the jumbotron. An accurate headline would say this:
"VANCE BOOED AT MILAN CORTINA OPENING CEREMONY"
"VANCE BOOED AT MILAN CORTINA OPENING CEREMONY"
In an unmistakable sign of Europe’s rapidly dimming view on America, the U.S. delegation entered the Milan Cortina Opening Ceremony to a chorus of boos and disapproving whistles from the international crowd of more than 65,000. on.wsj.com/3ZUmCq1

Ed, you’re right about the disgusting video. But when will you and my other fellow Democrats learn that “demanding” people “condemn” things reads as weak? It’s the equivalent of stamping our feet. There has to be a more powerful and effective way to frame this.

This is one hell of a hard nosed bullshit free article by the NYT. It feels like an editor slipped in the word anomalies, but other than that it’s tough & honest, & how news outlets should write about Trump & his racist administration.

Even if the books describe him as an Aryan-type blue-eyed blonde, I always pictured Gunther in my mind as dark-haired and dark-eyed. I don’t know this actor— is he physically imposing enough?

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Question originally said "hillbilly" but AP Style now deems that offensive. The hayseeds are still fair game.

Shocking, after years of mush-mouthery about Trump, to see the @nytimes.com finally use plain and direct language like "blatantly racist video clip." Good for them!

Kinda hope Bill and Hillary were playing the long game by refusing to testify at first. "Oh, you insist? Oh-kay!"

Union Station is such a beauty, good you had a nice trip. They tried to move the Amtrak station out to the suburbs 30 years ago! Madness.

This chart seems to suggest a striking pattern: Kevin Warsh's speeches are consistently hawkish, except when Trump is President and about to appoint a new Fed Chair.

It is bizarre. For that matter, flying to a private island to have arranged sex with women of ANY age from this creepy procurer should be disqualifying for any role of responsibility.
