Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

I needed a rug cleaned in Tulsa, so I handed the thing off to a local specialist who escaped Communist Hungary on foot in 1969, crossing the Yugoslav border to Trieste. After a year in a refugee camp, he flew to NY. Had $20 to his name. You’ve never met a more grateful American.

I do think you can understand the present state of world affairs better if you believe that the worst person alive has, since 2017, been the most powerful person alive the majority of the time.
there is not a single Republican legislator who is a worse person than Trump is and whatever remains of each of their consciences has been sublimated to his whims for a decade now

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

On one hand, Republican officials call themselves "warfighters."
On the other, they become whiny crybabies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets and New York City subways that literal schoolchildren navigate every day without incident.
Real macho stuff.

There will be a time 20 years from now where it will just be taken for granted that Trump was a horrible ruler and a lot of the people who supported him will still be alive. Your job is to tell them they're full of shit to their stupid faces.
