Incurable optimist with chronic depression. Lover of facts, hater of bigotry. Proud to be an "extreme" leftist, now that there isn't apparently any other kind. He him his, but the worst you risk is confusion as I don't mind any pronoun.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

How about the working class against the oligarchy?
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

ICYMI — Maddow runs through the 100 day Fox/YouGov numbers on Trump’s approval—a total disaster for him.
This one stood out for me:
Q: “Can Trump ignore SCOTUS if he thinks they overstep constitutional authority?”
A: NO — by a 49-point margin.
Americans aren’t quite ready to crown Trump king.

Due process means you have to go in the right order: sentence 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 verdict 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 trial 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 charges 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 investigation: the simple straight line of justice.
No one wants a world where accusations bring sentences before facts are even known.

Donald Trump's RIGHT, switching the clocks back and forth is a stupid and costly waste! If only he felt the same about tariffs. 🙄

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.
Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.

Little detail: in its tariffs list the Trump administration recognised Taiwan as a separate country from China. I applaud but I suspect they didn't mean to, they just didn't think about it because they're not very good at that.
