Eric Trump later deleted this post but it does make you wonder when the Turd Reich will start talking about needing "breathing room."

Over the centuries, people living in totalitarian regimes often turned to religion to get them through the most difficult times. This interview gives me a faint hope for Humanity.

There's a great interview with Anders Rasmussen, the former prime minister of Denmark on CNN about Trump's recent threats. His theory is that since Trump is afraid to stand up to China and can't compete with them, he would rather threaten his allies.

Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland resigns over the new tax breaks. With Trudeau's most loyal ally in the government leaving cabinet, can he be far behind?

You would think Leilah has seen enough of Donald Trump but The Apprentice was a fantastic movie. Sebastian Stan brilliantly incarnated the role of the young mogul, while Jeremy Strong was very much himself, but brilliant as the ruthless sewer rat Roy Cohn.
