If Trump had been President at the time of Pearl Harbor, he would have ceded China and the Pacific to Japan and praised the divine status of Hirohito.

Guy voted for a rapist and just can’t figure out why his daughters are mad at him. Clearly it must be something wrong with them.

Trump and Republicans have steered America to a place where air travel is increasingly dangerous, the struggling are denied food, Congress is gridlocked, the FBI is compromised, medical research is stymied and citizens are angrily set off against one another. God damn them.

Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.

Two years ago, my dad nearly died fighting off two kinds of blood cancer. He did a stem cell transplant (with me). It was a long, difficult, at times, heartbreaking process, but he was cured. He wrote a memoir on it here
