There has never been a more divisive, more corrupt individual in the presidency...trickle-down economics may not work, but trickle-down assholery? That’s absolutely a thing.

What CBS' disgraceful termination of Stephen Colbert illustrates is how quickly a Republic can fall when the media chooses cowardice instead of courage.

So this is why Trump was all over Biden’s “stage 9” (inaccurate) diagnosis - because he’s at CVI stage 3 and failed to disclose. Every accusation is a confession.

So back in the 1980’s when Reagan shut down mental health care, remember the buses of homeless dumped in US Cities? This reduction in funding led to the closure of many state mental hospitals and the release of patients into communities with limited resources and support systems. It was overnight.💔

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

Crockett: He wants there to be a portion of the budget that goes up to $1 trillion on the defense side. They have failed the very last seven audits. So why would they continue to get raises, which they always do. Yet we're going to hurt the most vulnerable amongst us.

Yes China is still building new coal-fired power plants, but it's using them less and less.
China's coal plants currently feed power to the grid about half of the time. By 2035, that rate will likely slip below 20%, according to BloombergNEF's forecasts.
