In addition, his hair is the wrong color and the First Lady's breasts are exaggerated.

With regards to Melania, classless would be a more accurate description of finnbow's art.

That ol' broken down tramp steamer sailed long ago, brother.(grin)

Speakin' of taxes… Every democrat running for president better get on the right side of disclosing at least ten years of their own taxes, toot sweet.

Lookin' squarely at St. Birdie the Finger Waggin' Prophet of Lake Champlain.

Donald Trump’s Never-Ending Campaign Keeps Getting Angrier
His rallies and speeches seem untethered from any sort of policy agenda ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

Ever more dangerous to our democracy.

Domestic terrorism story renews fears over Trump’s coddling of white nationalists

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...-nationalists/

Quote:
The House Judiciary Committee will examine hate crimes and rising white nationalism at a hearing Tuesday. The hearing follows years of frustration for Democratic lawmakers, who sent letters to Trump officials requesting information on “hate crimes, the targeted surveillance of minority communities, and the growing threat of white supremacy and right wing extremism,” according to the committee. “To date, the administration has provided little or no substantive response.”

Unfortunately for professionals such as Glawe, who has more than 26 years in national security and law enforcement, any changes to the government’s approach to domestic terrorism is framed by Trump’s racism.

The president* will forever be shamed by his coddling of a racist, anti-Semitic mob in Charlottesville after the 2017 killing of Heather Heyer. She protested the white supremacists who spewed anti-Jewish chants and supported the traitorous Confederacy. Thirty-five other people were wounded when a neo-Nazi supporter ran them down with his car. Yet Trump said there were “very fine people, on both sides.”

Then, last month, Trump expressed doubts that white nationalismis a growing problem, despite evidence to the contrary, after the massacre of 50 people at two mosques in New Zealand. Asked whether he sees white nationalism as a rising international threat, Trump said, “I don’t really. I think it’s a small group of people that have very, very serious problems.” A white supremacist who proclaimed his support for Trump “as a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose” is charged in the shooting.

“Tragically,” said Rep. Robin L. Kelly (D-Ill.) in a statement about domestic terrorism legislation, “this Administration has done nothing but embolden white supremacists and their disgusting ilk.”
Quote:
Armed with data, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) does not minimize the threat. “We are in a climate where white supremacists are emboldened like never before,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL’s CEO and national director. He accused Trump of using language “right out of the white supremacist playbook.”
ADL’s research tells the tale of rising and deadly right-wing action.

“In 2018 alone, domestic extremists killed at least 50 people in the U.S., the fourth-deadliest year on record for domestic extremist-related killings since 1970,” an ADL statement said. “The overwhelming majority of those murders were committed by right-wing extremists.”

Between 2009 and 2018, right-wing extremists were responsible for almost 75 percent of the 427 extremism-related killings in the U.S., according to ADL, compared with less than a quarter tied to Islamist extremists.

White Nationalism’s Deep American Roots
A long-overdue excavation of the book that Hitler called his “bible,” and the man who wrote it

Quote:
The president’s* rhetoric about “shithole countries” invites dismissal as crude talk, but behind it lie ideas whose power should not be underestimated.
With its typically excellent reporting, the Atlantic dives deep into the heart of what is, sadly, becoming mainstream thinking in the era of hateful Trumpism and Faux "News".

Hilariously sly, "on the job" is Brit slang for squatting on the hopper.

I don’t really agree with this. Think of fish. Fish don’t swim because they think it’s fun; they swim because they’re fish.
