This should be sufficient to prevent them from participating in public life, but instead they are in positions of governmental power? We should be ashamed of how far we’ve fallen as a nation.
The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

After they played this gig, the whole band went to Harlem to play against Chuck Webb’s big band at the Cotton Club. While the winner of the contest was unclear to many, Goodman considered Webb to have won.
#OnThisDayInHistory, Benny Goodman brings jazz to Carnegie Hall when he and his band play a gig there in 1938. At the time, jazz at Carnegie Hall seemed laughable, even to Goodman at first.

I hoped I was wrong. I wasn’t.
Trump is a fascist. Which makes anyone who still supports Trump a fascist.

Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

a lot of problems wouldn't exist if we had a congress with even an ounce of self interest

The cynics think today's attack on Venezuela is staged and transactional. Maduro is allied with Putin, but in 2019 Putin offered Trump a swap: Russia cedes Venezuela and gets Ukraine. (See Fiona Hill's testimony in Trump's first impeachment trial, h/t @davetroy.com). Even Maduro may be in on it. 2/
