The dream of the 60's and 70's...

… Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation

... Damn liberals dreaming about harmony and peace again

Remember when taking gifts from foreign governments was considered bribery? Now it’s just called “branding.” #TrumpCorruption #GOPCorruption #AllTheyDoIsLie

How dangerous are Republicans for letting Trump rule in the first place... sleep with one eye open... your neighbor is not to be trusted

They are right but they are only half right... half their brains are in their dicks and the other half is in their wallets

Most Russians don’t know Putin is a dictator—because he controls the news media.

Same thing is happening with legacy and mainstream news media in the U.S.

... give them time. They are not through cutting all of the guilty Republicans out of the files.... when there's nothing but Democrats left they will release them and the media will say it was only Democrats on the list after all

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

DOJ prosecutors in Virginia under Erik Seibert didn't believe they gathered enough evidence to charge Letitia James.

So Trump pressured Seibert to resign and replaced him with a loyalist (and former personal attorney) who would.

Even Nixon made efforts to hide his corruption.

BlinkRX, an online prescription drug delivery company, stands to benefit from proposed changes by Trump that would allow pharmaceutical companies to sell drugs directly to patients.

His son, Eric Trump, is on the company’s board.

Always follow the money.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Joliet has never been considered the outskirts of Chicago… It is 50 miles away... more like the vicinity of Chicago

That said... I have lost all respect for people in uniform. As long as they are willing to do the biddings of a fascist wannabe dictator, they don't deserve my respect

I'll stick to 70s 'Christian' music...

People, what have you done?
Locked Him in His golden cage
Golden cage
Made Him bend to your religion
Him resurrected from the grave, yeah
From the grave
He is the God of nothing
Which is all that you can see, see
