Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."?

Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

Donald Trump's just old mafia with a Russian twist and serious mental illness (TTH, I don't think have to repeat "malignant narcissism" or "NPD" for you), and he's cultivated cowards and sycophants -- all as shameless as they are unconscionable -- to support his lawlessness.

#AmericanMilitaryAndPolice, including "Don't Tread on Me" #Marines (ref. Gadsden Flag), haven't weighed on on Trump's amateurs & thugs. The #MAGA base has been assailed by #TrumpEpstein as well as Trump's anti-American, criminal, loutish, and piratical performance in his every performance in power.

Trump lies and county authorities will have to create detection for fabrications--and be quick to respond to any that appear.

ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house.

They released him an hour later.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. knew that a better world was possible if we came together, standing for equality and against injustice.

Today and every day, we honor Dr. King's legacy as we move toward a more inclusive and just future for all, together.

Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

I'm not sure if Trump understand the Atlantic Alliance or whether he's looking for business he can control on a feudal-medieval basis (i.e., through his own private patronage systems).

Trump may be able to deploy a few American soldiers to Greenland's coast during the summer months. But I don't see how he intends to defend this large island against ‘General Winter’.

The ancient, contemplative form of poetry can capture, perhaps better than any other, the muffled quality of chilly afternoons and days spent indoors.

Each collection speaks to a different seasonal mood, but all are worth slowing down with before the new year.
