Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.

One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.

The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Fentanyl does not come from Venezuela. It comes from China and thru Mexico, mostly smuggled thru customs, by American citizens. This designation is a ploy, a bad scam, if it is being done to justify a war on Venezuela. Come on media, do your job.
tRump classified fentanyl as a “Weapon of Mass Destruction.”

I see where this is headed… war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.
WTF is in those files?!

Jones: Everything you hear from Tuberville is framed as a sports analogy. When you view everything that way, you’re always stuck in an us-versus-them, winners-versus-losers mentality. That’s how he operates.

But the fact that communities across Alabama are suffering is not a game.

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust.

He has proven these points virtually every day since.

Wow. Christian Nationalist pastor Doug Wilson called out Trump’s grotesqueness too. Seems there is a post-Trump movement gaining traction.
I am trying to think of a time when so many right-wing Christian folks have come out as strongly against Trump as they currently are re: his Rob Reiner comments.
