It's the St. LOUIS reprise, but with intermediate internment. Twitler has absolved any responsibility for ethics and redfined Christian charity as a shameless sham.

Does social media and democracy go together?

Our politics are badly broken.

The first step to a season of renewal in our land is the absolute and utter repudiation of Trump and his vile enablers in the 2018 election by electing Democratic majorities. I do not say this as an advocate of a progressive agenda. I say it as someone who retains belief in DEMOCRACY and decency.

On Ronald Reagan’s grave are these words. “ I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.” He would be ashamed of McConnell and Ryan and all the rest while this corrupt government establishes internment camps for babies. Everyone of these complicit leaders will carry this shame through history. There legacies will be ones of well earned ignominy. They have disgraced their country and brought dishonor to the Party of Lincoln.

I have spent much of my life working in GOP politics. I have always believed that both parties were two of the most important institutions to the advancement of human freedom and dignity in the history of the world. Today the GOP has become a danger to our democracy and values.

This Independent voter will be aligned with the only party left in America that stands for what is right and decent and remains fidelitous to our Republic, objective truth, the rule of law and our Allies. That party is the Democratic Party.


Hard to argue with that (unless you're Whell).

Steve King Says Trump isn't Racist Enough

“I don’t hear this president speaking much about race, [but] for me, there are cultural distinctions that matter,” King said. “Whenever you import large numbers of people from singular cultures, you import the culture, too. That’s why a movement towards assimilation in the broader American civilization is so important. That’s been pushed on the back burner and it should be on the front burner.”

Stephen Miller, meet your great-grandfather, who flunked his naturalization test

Possibly the worst, most racist moron in a gaggle of morons in the current Resident's administration. Several others are shown to be hypocrites in this great article.

And beneath the photo, the reason given for his denial: Ignorance.

As the article points out, the man likely wasn't stupid or unworthy. But his missing a few questions on a test became the excuse for a harsh and bigoted judgement--he sort of judgement he now evokes as policy.

Regarding another of Miller's ancestors, Rob Eshman of the Jewish Journal observed “The great-grandson of a desperate refugee can grow up to shill for the demagogue bent on keeping desperate refugees like his great-grandfather out.”

Considering that he's been a member of the party that became the refuge of the politaclly incorrect in 1968, his words strike me as self righteous political posturing. An establishment Republican wanting to weaken Trump candidates' midterm chances as a prelude to defeating him in the 2020 primary.
