"Life and literature suggest that hubris fails. It brings nemesis. It results in tragedy. The trouble is that great damage is done. Trump’s hubris will do him in. He will be a failed president. The question is whether he’ll leave us a failed country."

I really do think we’re well beyond this point.
If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

Wow.
Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC.
“I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!”
Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out.
We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.
