Im glad they denounced it,but I imagine there was staff and maybe parents helped with the construction. Wonder where they were. I worked once to produce a float - there were lots of hands involved

The OXFAM report on US inequality is out today.

The US is now worse than any other developed country,

and under Trump the deprivation has exploded.

The Oligarchs have won and taken most of the wealth;

international aid of food and healthcare is now needed.

I guess his go-to excuse of "I don't know anything about it" doesn't work so well in the context of presidential pardons

Holy shit—Donald Trump just admitted on 60 Minutes that he has no idea who the fuck he's pardoning. I knew he was selling pardons, but I assumed he was at least somewhat engaged. But this explains so...

I moved to the U.K. in 2017. I pay £10 for a prescription. I pay national insurance which is around £2000 per year (£166 per month).
The British also have to take 4 weeks holiday per year.

He has threatened to annex Canada & Greenland, conduct strikes in Mexico, Venezuela & now Nigeria.

He has orchestrated 50+ extrajudicial killings. No evidence provided for his actions.

He is openly enriching himself and his billionaire donors while waging war against the working class.

TAPPER: Where is President Trump right now?

REP. BUDDY CARTER: He's in Asia. He's negotiating trade deals. He's negotiating world peace.

TAPPER: Well, he's at Mar-a-Lago technically right now.
