No one knows what will happen from here, and we hope for the best, but it’s shocking to have violently overthrown a government and invaded a country explicitly vowing to not only take no displaced persons or refugees but send those already here back no matter how bad it gets.

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.

Trump: "We could've won every war, but we really chose to be very politically correct, or wokey."

According to every single person who's ever known him, worked with him or for him, his fans and his opponents, including the author of "The Art of the Deal," his single favorite thing to do is talk to people on the telephone.
Q: What can you do in Washington that you couldn't do in Canada?

TRUMP: Just be a little bit, ah, I think more well-versed. Not having to use telephones so much, because I don't believe in telephones, because people like you listen to them.

This stupid conspiracy theory has been debunked for years but Secretary Brainworms wants to resurrect it. Too bad he can’t resurrect the kids he has already killed.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

We are, unequivocally, the Bad Guys.

We have been before, and we will be again, no doubt, but this one is particularly repellent.

A day of shame.
Ukraine resolution at the UN called Russia an aggressor and demands the full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders.

The United States, Israel, and Russia voted against it.

Every free democratic country around the globe voted in favour. #EndImpunity

All the cowardly media outlets had to do was stand together, refuse to cover the admin PR stunts until the AP was back. Of course they didn’t because they are cowards. And now they will be picked off one by one. Courage has a shelf life. Use it. Or go away.

Being a fucking idiot has consequences. Unfortunately, they’re for everybody.
Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason."

Review: Tributosaurus, one of Chicago’s best-kept secrets, never especially cool, not exactly challenging, pushing nearly 25 years as a mainstay of local bars and theaters, without an original song to their name, are my favorite Chicago band.
Review: Tributosaurus plays hit songs from the ’70s and it’s a glorious shag-carpet ride
As the guitarist said at Theater on the Lake, the only thing the band has in common with the one-hit wonders they were playing is that all of them “have one more hit than we do.”
