If you’re someone who still reads for pleasure, you are a marvel. If you’re able to unplug from all the chaos of our entertainment culture and disappear into the warmth and solace of a book, that is a rare gift and I’m very glad to know you.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Gotta love the media saying Donold’s first 100 days are raising “serious doubts.” Stop pretending you weren’t there for his last 1461 days.

Normally I'm not a very pessimistic person. However, I do see how bad this is and I'm afraid of how it's going to end.
