It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

Trump forgot to do his usual post after elections about how many of his endorsed candidates won.

lol Trump literally ran on fixing everything on day one and has spent the last few weeks telling us he ended 8 wars.
Mike Johnson: "If you run as a socialist, you run on a big list false claims. You promise everything to everyone, and you can't deliver, and if you were able to deliver it would be to the great detriment of the people you lured in to vote for you."

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

What the right wing resents most about us is that we have so much more cultural power. We should use it.
Suggestion: A strike of musicians, writers, hosts, actors, lighting, electricians--everyone, shutting down all TV studios, until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.
This is the kind of action we need, instead of sitting around just waiting to be gutted.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
