At White House today, Conor McGregor spouted some racist shit about immigrants in Ireland then went to go meet w/fellow convicted-in-civil-court rapist*, Trump.

Birds of a feather & all that.

*A 12-person jury in Dublin found McGregor guilty of sexual assault in the rape of a woman in Dec 2018.

The warnings are coming with greater speed and urgency. This is the beginning of a dictatorship.
Our global reputation is in tatters and that leaves us and many of our (perhaps, former) "allies" vulnerable. 😔

Four days in, of the nearly 1500 allotted to this administration, and I'm white knuckling it like it's the crest of a really tall rollercoaster.

Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.

$40M to Melania for the "rights" to her sleep-your-way-to-the-top story. $40M before the first dime of production costs are incurred.
I'm sure $40M's a reasonable investment for Bezos, but I don't think it's because he intends to produce a documentary.
James Carville Shares Suspicions About Jeff Bezos And $40 Million Melania Trump Film
“What’s happening right in front of your f**king eyes, right there, they’re paying her $40 million,” the Democratic strategist said of Amazon's founder and Trump's wife.

Jimmy Carter’s life was a testament to grace, compassion, & moral courage. A leader who lived his faith through service. Choosing love over division & justice over ease. He showed us that true leadership is grounded in empathy & service. His legacy calls us to lead with love and purpose.
