ICE is insanely out of control and we have a deranged lunatic for president.
Extending a big middle finger to the folks who told us we were being too dramatic when we said Donald Trump was going to destroy this country.
Congratulations, MAGAts, thanks to your stupidity, this country is FUBAR.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…
Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.
