Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

It’s simple. Other countries don’t have this many guns. Other countries don’t have this many senseless bloodbaths that too many government officials don’t do anything to prevent.
My heart breaks for the victims, their families and friends, and the entire Brown community.

The Lawyers Who Kept Screwing Up
A section of the N.C. DOJ repeatedly erred and antagonized federal judges–even in cases they seemed guaranteed to win.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

It’s striking and inexplicable that Senate Dems crumbled following decisive signals from the American electorate that Trump’s policies are deeply unpopular and Americans expect the Democrats to fight Trump and Republicans over healthcare, affordability, & be a check on his chaos.

Either this will be done with Schumer’s blessing or Schumer can’t keep control of Senate Democrats.
Either way, it’s clear he cannot lead and should retire. And retire immediately if the Dems cave in and only get a “promise” of a vote on the ACA credits sometime in. December.
