He "could be bigoted" and "wasn't afraid of people who disagreed with him."

Call me crazy, but I don't think the world needs more fearless bigots right now, or ever.

These are fearless bigots. Is the Boston Globe applauding them as well?

White nationalists at Charlotte's "Unite the Right" white power tiki torch yelling party in 2017.

White nationalists with home made white power shields with crosses; they're all pathetic loser men, and they're wearing white polos and khaki colored chinos like some really weak school boys.

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

I have friends and colleagues in Portland who are saying that they're only being frightened by the new presence of Blackhawk helicopters and new drones following them around. Otherwise, life has been sorta normal.

But…Trump had his annual check up already. 5 months ago. On April 11.

Around 30 protesters and hecklers here in the free speech area tonight. Curfew is in 15 minutes (reportedly, state police were fairly chill about curfew yesterday, but did make the few people still here move across Lexington).

Someone is tempting ISP troopers with a donut on a fishing pole.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

I challenge the media to show pictures of Portland. Go to a store with glass. That's all you have to do

They can't do it because it would offend Deal Leader
