Funny how hunting and trapping young women to coerce them into "dating," through pre-meditated sabotage like letting their air out of their cars' tires or canceling their hotel rooms, is such a common tactic among Trump's most prominent allies.

Maybe austerity and Brexit weren’t good. Maybe a Labour government should be more focused on that than trying to appease the xenophobes.

Biden made NATO bigger and stronger than ever. Trump is making China and Russia more connected than ever. I suppose to the NYT that means both are unifiers.

Donald Trump loves the 'poorly educated' — and they love him
He may have meant meant "less educated," but the numbers say they love him, too.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

And the funny thing is that Carter didn’t win it for Camp David. Mitchell didn’t win it for the Northern Ireland process. Lake and Holbrooke didn’t win it for Dayton. All were much more involved, and all negotiated lasting peace. It’s absurd on so many levels that Trump is even being discussed.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

This is what tyranny looks like. President Trump is using the Justice Department as his personal attack dog, targeting Attorney General Tish James for the ‘crime’ of prosecuting him for fraud—and winning.
