Trump bragging about DC being safe as if criminals were roving tourist spots gunning down and robbing people. This "speech" is outrageous.

Hidden silver lining to Kimmel's monologue: ABC can never cancel him now, ever. The monologue was a huge middle finger to Trump from Kimmel, the network, and Disney. To ever get rid of him would satisfy Trump's claim that his ratings are awful. I don't think they'd ever give him that now.

Why is the media missing the glaring impropriety of the president and attorney general interacting at all, but specifically, interacting about allegations and evidence that concerns the president and possible crimes he committed?
Presidents and AG are supposed to maintain distance from each other.

To think there are Republicans who chastised Barack Obama Obama for wearing a tan suit... These same people say nothing about Donald Trump re-sharing ridiculous, insane garbage like this.
I want off this timeline.

Mainstream media is failing hard as they focus on James Comey's 8647 seashell debacle, while at the same time saying nothing about the plethora of 8646 imagery about Biden.
It shouldn't take a CNN commentator to point this out.

Ask yourselves a simple question: how would Republicans in Congress react if a democrat-appointed FBI director showed up without a budget for the entire department they are in charge of?

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

11. If, under Harris’ watch, $10 trillion in market value had gone poof, as it has under Trump’s, her own party would have brought her up on impeachment charges by now. She might have been tried, convicted and removed from office already.

Ask three questions, demand straight answers:
1. What is the goal?
2. Does it help or harm everyday Americans?
3. Who stands to make money from it?
Journalists, press these questions, always.

Today in the UX of explaining theories to human beings, nonsensical or otherwise:
People can't understand that which isn't understandable. "Direct inverse correlation" is a technically contradictory and frequently misused phrase.
It makes no sense, but sounds complex and "smart" to simple minds.

In the Bible, the ratio of content about homosexuality, to content about helping immigrants, foreigners, the sick, the weary, and the poor is about 1:100, give or take.
Remind "Christians" of their hypocrisy every time they rant about LGBTQ, but do nothing for those Jesus would certainly help.

For all the shock and disappointment our global friends and allies may have for present-day USA, I hope they realize it doesn't reflect "us." One person is to blame, and he sure doesn't represent, or speak for all of us.
