A few notes about myself:

I'm not a journalist. I'm not a political expert. I don't have all the answers. I'm a lousy proofreader. I'm just an opinionated American who strongly believes that a rising tide lifts all boats. And right now, I only see 0.1% of the boats lifting.

The GOP used so much projection that that may as well be IMAX.

The fact that we elected this man once was bad enough. The fact that we elected him a second time is a great crime we have inflicted upon ourselves.

It's not just that they are repeating the lies. They are repeating the lies that their audience wants to hear.

Call me crazy, but I feel that shooting -anyone- in the head is frowned upon in about 99.999% of situations.

Poor wittle Donny. Time for him to call a televised Cabinet meeting where everyone talks about how great he is for two hours.

As a life-long Red Sox fan, I am saddened by the passing of former outfielder Mike Greenwell. 62 is too damn young. May he rest in peace, and may his friends and family be comforted in this difficult time for them.

Trump: "We're gonna be reducing the cost of medicines by 100%, 200%, 300%, 500% and even more than that."

You know those people you went to high school with who were always, "Why do I need to learn this? I'm not going to use this as an adult!", mostly in math and science classes?

Turns out, yeah...we DO need to learn this and hold onto it. But too many people didn't bother.

The media either

A) Just really sucks at what they do,

B) Doesn't really care one way or the other and just want to see the cash flow in, or

C) Is complicit in the fascist takeover in America

This isn't a multiple choice question, by the way. All are correct depending on the outlet.

Not just the genocidal maniacs. Let's also stop the ultra wealthy billionaires from wreaking havoc on our fragile environment and exploiting the working class just so they can add more obscene amounts of wealth.

Why not just buy a pocket square if you want to show it off so badly? Or do they just compulsively lie at this point?

They can't win the hearts and minds, so they are going to try to use force and threats instead. We can't give into them. These are weak people who are frightened.

RIP to Jane Goodall. A trailblazing scientist who opened our eyes to a world we would have never otherwise known about. She will be sorely missed.
