Reader comment of the moment from the NYT: “This isn’t Trump. This is the United States. I am not blaming individual Americans, but your entire government is to blame for this crime. And if you don’t stop it, you are to blame as well.”

Schumer could pressure R reps to cross the floor and go Dem, no? She and the life out of them. The longer this goes on the more I see that Dem leadership tacitly supports much of Trump’s project.
Why show up to work at all then? At minimum, as the opposition party you say "This wouldn't happen if we were in power and if you give us power here's how we'll impose consequences on the president's lawbreaking." Have they outlined that in any real way?
A lot of people are mad at Schumer for saying this. But he's right. Democrats don't control a single branch of government and they can't pass anything. Only Republicans can rein in Trump because they control both chambers of Congress. Democrats have no cards to play here.

The thing is, most Americans —even those most affected by Trump’s Nazism —are too complacent. They won’t cancel their ski weekend, boycott Amazon, go to a protest. They tacitly support this. If they didn’t they’d do something about it.

I do wonder why no one is trying to stop him. Someone threw a shoe at Dubya; no one has really tried to get back at Trump
US President Donald Trump threatens to invade and attack other countries: “We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us." #VenezuelaInvasion

I sure hope the IIHF is taking note of the piss poor attendance at the World JR hockey tournament this year and for other major sport federations to avoid hosting events in the USA.

I can’t reply to the reply this person made to me

So I guess I need to quote them

Psychotic means not in touch with reality; I did, in fact, mean psychotic
Please don't use psychotic where you probably mean psychopathic

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

I don’t remember Canada having 60 minutes? There were stations that you could get with an antenna from across the border but Canada had its own news programs when I lived there

I can’t tell if I’m happy or sad that they get more US news now?

I’m watching the Safra doc on Netflix:
1. Lady Colin Campbell who’s so rude is one of the people who constantly writes/complains that Meghan Markle is awful

2. I don’t like the nurse or his narrative. Why are you lighting a fire to set off an alarm? It’s the 90s. He leaves with the fire still going

People are so mad about the Kennedy center & to an extent I get it.

But ‘I will never call it that’ is not an effective protest

Pretend you’re French put some back into this

So irritated there’s so much ‘how dare he!’ ‘Well, I never,’ but no one is actually doing anything that might work.
